So if a few pretrib scholars change their mind then it disproves the rest of them? Rubbish.
We are well aware, the public at large for centuries, were without knowledge to read and write nor commonly had access to books, texts, material To read, and wholly were dependent on men to teach them.
So we have Philosophers from ancient days, having no adherence to God, but sitting about Thinking, taking handouts for their livelihood, deciding in their Minds, what they have concluded IS GOD, Their NAMES exalted... (and sadly the forefront “practice” in every public school) and (forefront “teaching” in every University)....
AND
We have historical men who could read, who did have access to Scripture, who did study, and wrote their findings.....Their names Tagged to their writings. AND? (Their names Tagged to things they did not say or write.)
~ Regardless...So some men discovered new knowledge and shared?
~ Seriously, doesn’t EVERY man who can read, who own their very own Bible, who reads, who study’s.....Expand more and more on his Knowledge ?
~ Seriously, are they stymied by a previous scholars study that ended with that mans physical death? No.
Personally I had never heard of ... (Darby, Scofield, Smith, Calvin, blah, blah)
Before joining this forum. I couldn’t say what they read, studied, believed, taught.....really don’t much care If I have have similar beliefs, or totally different beliefs. What I do know, IS what I read, study, trust, IS what IS IN Scripture. What I do know, IS WHAT WAS, SHALL BE....
The Trustworthy Master Teacher has Always been the Lord God Himself...
I fully expect to have SOME LIKE Understanding of others, and SOME UNLIKE Understanding of others. At most, I know WHY I believe what I do, and it never hinges on....”Because some philosopher man or some famous man said so!”
