You believe that in the brand new heavens and the brand new earth that death is gonna be a normal occurrence. The Ambassador said you do. You said you do.

Incorrect. Your unBiblical literalist interpretation of Isaiah 65 demands that there is death among the saints on the New earth: The problem for you is that you called this interpretation a "lie from the pit of hell!" I agree as does every single Amillennial lurker out there. The literalist Premillennial interpretation of Isaiah 65:17-25 ~IS~ a LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL.

However, if you concede that the Amillennialist is correct in maintaining that verse 22 is only a metaphorical reference to the tree of life and to Jesus for the length of days of the people of God, then you must also concede that the child dying at 100 is also metaphorical and your entire LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL Premillennialist interpretation falls apart like a house of cards.

It really does take a spiritual bonehead to not at least recognize that the days of a tree in verse 22 is LITERALLY forever, no matter what your eschatology. The problem is that I meet far too many persons such as yourself who cling to their eschatology, even when it is exploding in their face.



Our Final Victory And that my friend, is the honest gospel truth.

However, you tell me that the Dead will be raised incorruptible when Christ returns to setup the Millennial kingdom on this corruptible earth. You must therefore accept that when this happens that "Death is swallowed up in victory." Unfortunately, you Premillennialists tell me that death will linger around for another 1000 years. And that ~IS~ a LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL.

Is any disagreement with you on the meaning of a particular verse a "lie from the pit of hell"?

Are you infallible? (No, you are not.) Lifted up in pride? (Sure looks like it.)

You are taking yet another page from the Pharisees' playbook.

Matthew 18:3-4
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
