So we began to use the whole Bible. Revelations doesn't say anything about the 1,000 years in outer darkness. '

Aron,
There are several erroneous statements in your post. First, to my knowledge you were challenged by Drake and Evangelical ... not LSM.
Secondly, I never said “the whole Bible shows this”... I said the topic of outer darkness and the judgement, and the millennial reign of Christ is covered mainly in the parables related to the kingdom in Matthew a book that is kingdom centered, some of the relevant verses in the epistles concerning judgement of the believers and the book of Revelation. I said this to open the aperture of what a Brother Lee taught in its entirety vs, your selective and narrow scope of using only some verses in Revelation.
Which brings us to the third erroneous statement.....that “we began to use the whole Bible” which you did not and you insisted that since the book of Revelation is the only place that mentions “1000 years” then I must explain what Brother Lee taught only from that book and only using footnotes. A ridiculous notion in almost every way like the nice Muslim who insisted I must prove that Jesus is God only using the red letters.
Fourth, it is the book of Revelation, not “Revelations”. Singular, in that the entire book is the revelation of the Person Jesus Christ. You probably knew that so don’t let your spell check get the best of you there as it often does me.
But, let’s move on to what your scholars have to say about it.. that will be most interesting.
Thanks
Drake
