You didn't explain what "before all things" and "in him all things hold together" mean: He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Col. 1:17 NIV)

But what of the person himself that died? The body is not the person, its a body a person lives in. So if the body is resurrected, what becomes of the person who once lived in that body?

As God, nothing is impossible for Him. He can have "location" via a "theophany", but He must also be omnipresent because it is written: 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 'For in him we live and...

While I agree the resurrected body of Jesus and angels are physical, Jesus as the Word of God must be more than the angels because scripture never says "in angels all things hold together" nor are angels "before all things": He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Col...

Of course Jesus is not perplexed. Unexplained is how Jesus could ask this question if He were postmillennialist? The premise of the question contradicts the conclusion of faith triumphant everywhere.

If all that is correct, why did Jesus ask: When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? (Lk. 18:8 KJV)

Question. JWs believe people cease to exist when they die. God's memory of them is "recreated" therefore, "resurrection" to JWs is not "bringing to life again the person who died" for they remain dead. Nothing "connects" what died, with what is recreated from God's memory. Is that what you...

Like modern day Spiritualists JWs believe God is like created spirits, living inside a spirit body: "While there are physical bodies visible and palpable, there are also spiritual bodies, invisible to human eyes and entirely beyond human senses. (1 Cor. 15:44) The bodies of spiritual persons...

What events today support postmillennialism? In this time of increasing war, crime, apostasy....what indicates the gospel of Christ will conquer the earth by the hand of the church?

No one is resurrected during the sheep and goat judgment, and it happens when Christ and His angels enter Jerusalem, 1,000 years before the resurrection of the just and unjust at the Great White Throne Judgment which happens AFTER the Millennial kingdom of Christ. 31 When the Son of man shall...

Can't let mischaracterization slide. My views reflect Quantum Physics, unlike the classic "metaphysics" of the past, which have been proven wrong by scientific observation...But scripture didn't change, it never taught medieval errors about reality, the metaphysics of the ancient Greek...

If it were "pot-luck" that implies inefficiency, something I think impossible for the God of Creation. As Paul said, everything made declares God's infinity, in power and intellect. That's why I am convinced God's plan to save all He can, and judge the rest, is perfect. It maximizes the saved...

Our cosmology is radically different. I acknowledge your views are in accord with mainstream historic Christian thought. Mine could be described as "heterodox". But Scripture predicts Scripture wording would speak differently to those living in the end time, who were watching it being...

9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying...

Or, both scripture and early Christian writing supplies enough to believe its an opening in the sky: 11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire...
