In reference to the Millennium, defined as Christ personally and bodily holding court on earth for a thousand years, I pose this question;

What constitutes true religion during this time?​

Hi Hitch,
They might move this to theology? but there will be NO one on earth [ALIVE] except the serpent & his angels followers. The wicked are ALL dead until the1000 years are over. Note Jer. 4 here with NO alive man! Yet these verses close out with 'I WILL NOT MAKE A FULL END'. Meaning that satan is still here as it was before Earth was created. (Gen. 3 + see Eccl. 1:9-10 + Eccl. 3:15)
And the SAINTS?? They will ALL be in Heaven for this 1000 year period.

(note 1 Cor. 6:2-3 for the Judicial Execution Judgement of the wicked per length. see also Luke 12:47-48 & Obad. 1:16)

[23] I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
[24] I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
[25] I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

[26] I beheld, and, lo,the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. (Christ Second Coming! See 2 Thess. 2:8-12)

[27] For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

[28] For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

--Elijah

I don't subscribe to that definition of the millennium. Personally rule? Yes. Bodily? No. The concept of 'millennial rule' seems to be an extension of the idea of nearly every religion that they, as the true followers of God, should dominate the world. Yet Jesus' message was that his followers should be servants to the world, just as He was.

Now if you want to talk of Jesus' followers as the 'Body of Christ'...:chin

Still it is the most common defintion. And defining the thousand years is not the subject of this thread but rather what, given the commonly accepted definition, would constitute proper worship and true religion.

Worshiping God and believing on His Son has been, is and will always be true religion.
 
True Christianity isn't a religion anyway. I do not use the word. It is a relationship. In the Millennium, Jesus will be King, and the head of the government, and we, the Church will be the government. The citizens of the nations during that time, especially those born into the world not knowing what went before, will not know anything but peace and good, excellent and perfect government. The mind boggles at that!

The people will not really have religion--they will know the King.

Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

That's right...all behaviour that comes from a heart and mind changed and empowered by the relationship one has with the living Christ.

The word is 'faerie', and no it isn't. I am sure your mockery is against the TOS.

If your going to correct someone ,you should at least get it right.
The word is fairy.
A fairy tale.

Fairy tale is an English language term for a type of short narrative corresponding to the French phrase conte de fée, the Spanish phrase cuento de hadas, the German term Märchen, the Italian fiaba, the Polish baśń or the Swedish saga. Fairy tales typically feature such folkloric characters as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, dwarves, giants or gnomes, and usually magic or enchantments.

The Old English version was what was attempted originally, which happens to be 'faerie'. I have a thing about proper spelling, so I do make sure I've got it right the rare occasions I want to correct. It's the editor in me, I guess!

Thanks anyway.
 
I must remember to use 'fearie tale' in some sort of scarie pun.
