Well - setting aside the fact that we disagree on when
these things occur - you still looking for them
myself seeing them as accomplished in Christ...

That is not what I find disturbing about what you believe.

You think my view of God is worse than Hitler - that is understandable
but I think your use of scripture to "sugar coat" truth is dangerous.

I do not look for physical death to be conquered on earth -
I think that is a carnal expectation not unlike the expectation
of the Jews to whom Jesus said:

John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world:
if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight,
that I should not be delivered to the Jews:
but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Most Jews missed the first coming looking for carnal or a physical earthly kingdom
I think you look for the same in the second coming and have also missed that one.

Alan if the 'punishment' that Christ sent/sends men into is temporary
how do you avoid believing that the reward is not also temporary?

Sorry if we double posted and you already answered this.
