No one said that God doesn't reign in heaven. Why do you create things that simply aren't said?
The point is that you say that the millennium is here now and that Christ is reigning in the millennial kingdom NOW, that it's here NOW.
We say, "no it isn't....it's yet future."
Anyone with a bible can see that it isn't NOW. Anyone with eyes can see that it isn't NOW. The Maryland Sniper proves that it isn't NOW.

CCWoody - When exactly did Jesus sit and wait for all His enemies to be made His footstool, including Death (1 Co 15:24)?
forthedeclaration - Christ is not ruling over his Kingdom right now.
The only inference that I can draw is that ftd believes that the Lord is not now reigning in heaven. Please take it up with the one who acts like a spiritual Tare.

I'm saying that at the end of this age of the sowing of seed, the Lord will return and have the wicked separated from the just and that all things offensive will be cast into the furnace of fire. Now, unless you want to declare to me that an enemy of the Lord is not offensive, then you must affirm that death will be cast into the furnace of fire at the end of this age when the Lord returns. And PreMillennialism just doesn't square with this. You must actually pervert the gospel to make it agree with PreMillennialism.
This is basic gospel stuff.

Anyone with a Bible can clearly see that there
are things offensive in the Lord's kingdom and anyone with a Bible can see that at the end of this age, when the Lord returns, He will have all things offensive cast into the furnace of fire. Unless you want to pervert the gospel as PreMillennialism does.
- Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age [ the age of the sowing of the seed]. The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
- And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, "Lord, Lord, open to us!' But he answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.' "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
- "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.... And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, "Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:.... Then He will also say to those on the left hand, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:.... And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
- The hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth--those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
Basic gospel stuff!
