You responded: “No, sorry for my rambling communication and assumptions, I was only saying that I agreed there will be a literal 1000 year millennium. “____I came to this conclusion on my own by reading my Bible_____.”
I believe you. (See my post #216 above).
Maybe you might want to expand your choice of Bibles .... ones where you won’t be LED to arrive at certain conclusions. :)
My path is from traditional Amill conservative Lutheran to where I am today. When I was a teenager I thought the only people saved must attend my local church! I think I have had a conviction about the rapture and 1000 year reign since 1985 or so. It started by me asking the Holy Spirit for the truth no matter what with me trying to give up my preconceived notions. I have had a fun faith journey ride. It has been about 5 years since I gave up my approval needs. I do not need you or anyone to agree with me.
I also love Blue Letter and Bible Gateway on the computer. It is good at times to look at multiple translations of the text including Greek and Hebrew.
