I've heard a person say that Solomon's prime minister aka Benaiah was given keys in a way similar to Peter. Does anyone familiar with the Talmud etc. know if this is true?

ok I have yet to read revelations in it's entirety so I can't really argue with you. If you see revelations as a chronological story written to mean exactly what it says rather than a cryptic set of letters with hidden meanings to protect them from the Romans who would like to destroy them then...

I realize now you weren't referring to that scroll but I thought you were at first that is why I said that. What makes you say that 1000 year reign will happen after Armageddon?

I think those books have written in them the deeds of those men and the names of those God has given/ not given eternal life to thus they will be judged by them. They don’t contain new rules we already have the fullness of revelation. I thought you were referencing this scroll though "And I...

Yes Jesus forgives us and along with forgiveness comes relief from eternal punishment but it doesn't free us from the temporal. This is obvious if one looks at baptism. Baptism forgives us of the guilt of Original sin in doing so it frees us from then eternal consequences of it (aka gives the...

I agree (Except for your overly literal interpretation of Revelation as far as I'm concerned the scrolls, if I know what you’re taking about, were the Book of Revelation and the 1000 year reign is already taking place.) but that is my point. How can someone completely showered by the grace of...

The freedom to kill is not true freedom, but a tyranny that reduces the human being to slavery - Pope Benedict XVI

This was written in the second century before the middle ages. "And after the exhibition, Tryphaena again receives her. For her daughter Falconilla had died, and said to her in a dream: Mother, thou shaft have this stranger Thecla in my place, in order that she may pray concerning me, and that...

so the people who he judges worthy of resurrection will not only have the capability of sin but will also use it. and then when they do they will die again.

Why would God remember someone if he was going to judge them to the second death but still leave some people unremembered if he would do nothing but judge them to the second death too? Why judge some to the second death when not remembering them would just leave them in the same place if he’s...

so what do you consider the "resurrection of judgment"

So are you implying some will be worthy of resurrection purely for the sake of eternal damnation and some won't be worthy of it at all.

Good I just wanted to say that my post wasn't a response to what you wrote but to what truthseeker said that is why I quoted him don't think I was implying anything about you. My original address to you was a compliment nothing more.

you mean :"Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. And they that have done good things shall come forth unto the resurrection of life: but they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment."
