Ep. 48: Premill Exegetical Hurdles: 1 Cor. 15 and Rom. 8

In this episode, Pastor Mike continues discussing difficult passages for premillennialism. In this episode he tackles four of them. In 1 Corinthians 15:20-24, what is the issue regarding the timing of the second coming and the end of all things? What is the relationship between the two “thens”in verse 23 and 24? In 1 Corinthians 15:25-26, what is the issue with destroying death? If death is destroyed, how is it that people could die during the millennial kingdom? What is the context of Jesus destroying death? Whose death has been destroyed? Consider verse 55. To whom is Paul writing? In 1 Corinthians 15:50, if flesh and blood cannot inherent the kingdom of God, how is there flesh and blood in the Revelation 20 millennial kingdom? Which facet of the kingdom is Paul talking about here? Taking a system of theology to the text is dangerous. We need to take the text to our system of theology. In Romans 8:18-24, if after Christ returns, creation is redeemed, how can there be a 1,000-year literal earthly kingdom? How would a premillennialist answer this question? What is the difference between restored, beginning to be restored, and fully restored? What are Dr. Tom Schneider’s concerns with all three main millennial views, and what is his alternative? The Inquisition: Is it a sin for Christians to get a tattoo? Tune in today! We discuss these questions and more.
