    As I've said a number of times, we must use some COMMON SENSE about those things. No one cut off his hand while Jesus was here due to its being used to sin. Where is paying the pastor PROHIBITED? (At first, the apostles were the only full-time preachers.) And their audiences at least fed them & likely paid them. And the first churches met in houses if there was no other building available.

    And that part of the Nicene Creed is WRONG.
    I posted the Scriptures about the millenium. And I choose to believe THEM over whoever met at Nicea.

    No two common senses are alike my friend. And it is the ultimate hubris to appeal that others use "common sense", as if you are the sole arbiter of what common sense is. Hopefully you don't take that approach on the street corner.

    I agree that the Bible should be read as any other book & taken LITERALLY except where it's PLAINLY symbolic. And with our hindsight we know what that symbolism stands for.

    NOW, SIR......

    I'm awaiting your SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT FOR THE KJVO MYTH ! ! !

    You are at odds with the bible if you think the ecumenical creeds got it wrong.

    I don't think any Baptist statement of faith makes a more precise fingering of just who the Antichrist is than does your 1689 Confession:

    Second London Baptist Confession (pdf)

    "the Pope of Rome...is that Antichrist...whom the Lord shall destroy with the brightness of his coming"

    NUPE!
    I posted the Scriptures about the millenium, and those Scriptures, once they were given, supercede anything men can invent.

    Sorry, Sir, the penultimate AC will be ONE MAN; the line of popes is not. However, the "beast from the earth" might be a pope.

    You do not understand the scriptures you posted. The kingdom is eternal, not 1000 years. It is spiritual, not physical.......

    I more or less let a brother believe what he wants as far as the end times go... Our belief whatever it is to those things do not effect our Salvation one iota... One thing that I do know is we were not there when John passed this down to the seven churches of Asia... Since I've been on here there have been interpretations galore, so which one is right?... As I heard one preacher say, does it matter?... He said I can give you the Revelation in a golden nugget a child can understand... JESUS WINS!... And because Jesus Wins, we do too!... Brother Glen:)

    One problem is Jesus and Paul preached the gospel of the kingdom as being present and spiritual. Others preach a different gospel of the kingdom being future and physical.

    You're denying the Scriptures I posted, simple as THAT.

    That's because the Bible says so.

    Jesus says otherwise. Make your interpretations align with him, not Scofield.

    The 1000 years are not the kingdom. Satan attacks the kingdom when the 1000 years end.

    The Scriptures say "thousand years". That's a millenium.

    So, while Jesus reigns with a rod of iron here on earth, He's not the King, & He's not ruling a kingdom?

    W O W !

    But it's a symbol, just like the red dragon or green horse.
