So Jesus has been working as the God of all creation for two thousand years to make His enemies His footstool...He seems to be having some trouble...Hasn't made any notable progress yet...

Since I’m not a scoffer wrt God’s timetable, I will not judge that. If you think you are smarter than Jesus, be my guest. Certainly the world is in better shape today than it was 2000 years ago from the standpoint of the numbers exposed to and accepting the gospel of salvation.

By the time Christ returns all will be accomplished has He has said.

How long you s'pose this Millenium is going to last???

That’s up to God. I believe He wishes to have a great multitude to worship Him through eternity (Rev. 7:9). It takes time to get those types of numbers.

Now I am one of the saints...But it don't seem I'm reigning over anybody...I'm still having trouble with the dog...Who are you reigning over???

Perhaps that’s what you get when you walk by sight and not by faith. I’m reigning because Christ says I’m reigning, not because I feel it or perceive it with my human faculties.

One thing is for certain...There are far more churches now but whether they are filled with saved Christians may be debatable...

The world is filled with apostacy...

Perhaps that’s what you get when you walk by sight and not by faith. I’m reigning because Christ says I’m reigning, not because I feel it or perceive it with my human faculties.

Sure, that's exactly like saying Jesus really IS in the wafer and wine...And it's like saying I have won the lottery but I can't see the money and it doesn't show up at my bank...

What you refuse to accept is that when Jesus shows up again, ALL eyes will SEE Him...He will move to sit on the Throne of David in Jerusalem...We will no longer need Faith...We will be able to look Jesus in the eye...We will be walking by sight...

And when He says we will reign with him, we will actually REIGN WITH HIM...

And far more rejecting it and going to hell.

Moreover, much of what passes for the Gospel today, isn't, so many who claim to be saved aren't.

We certanly see an increase in religions, such as a return to Romanism by the Protestants and Islam.
