Seems to me, anyhow that if we obey Him, He WILL reveal truth of doctrine to us. As we know, to obey is much better to God than sacrifice, any day!
I read these promises in John 7:17 and John 8:31-32 so, when will we KNOW the truth? When we WALK in His teachings He say's "then you will know that truth that truly sets us free ♥ JMHO

Okay, but I did not read it that way at all.
And you read it correctly. Countless times the author has stated his views and been met with indignant opposition by dispensationalists he has repeatedly asked to debate the subject with him.... only to have them refuse.
That little excerpt was taken from a very interesting book he wrote.

Yes, that's what we do, we wait and see. All will be revealed. Even what people don't want known.

Failed prophecies . . . just look at the "rapture" . . . oh wait, there is no rapture . . ." Am I missing something?

Edit to add: If not the intent, I still think this is the context. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.


Much love!

What exactly would you like to debate?

Well, marks gave me the book and the page number to find the quote. The book title is "Rapture Fever Why Dispensationalism is paralyzed".

Now, do you still believe this thread is not about Dispensationalism bashing and Rapture bashing?

Once the author is known I can see why willie didn't want to reveal his source. Can you?

...but yknow what, there is a time for stuff, a time for everything i guess right, and not meaning to disagree with you, "ignore" is likely what you should be doing here if you felt led to do that ok, but i would also encourage you, specifically, to not be too afraid to piss some ppl off ok, Bc coming from you that would sure carry some ooomph lol. Ppl would be like Damn and perking up and paying attn then i bet, i tell you what

Sometime I just need to use it...'for me'.
1) I don't want to get frustrated.
2) I sometimes feel disappointed and 'down' when the site gets too negative.

All the years I have been here, I never used the Ignore option until about two months ago. I put five on the list because it was a case of either me leaving the site, or me not reading their rudeness and rants.
After one week I took three off again, and they didn't bother me anymore.
Two, I admit I still have on...I just don't like how they 'speak' to people.

Maybe one day I will take them off too. ( NOT that I would know where to find them to take 'em off...I looked at my profile page and could not see a "Ignore List"!)

You are more gullible than I thought if you think page 189 says one single thing about Gary hating Dispensationalists. As he did in the whole book, he there mocked the prognosticators using people's beliefs to line their pockets.

You also said you thought I was the first one to mention the word Rapture, but the belief in the "rapture" was disparaged in the original post that started this thread, which was exactly what I responded to.

Now you have really messed up his value system. He won't pay the $65 the book costs, and you have just relegated him to stooping to reading the dreaded "downloads", like I do.

He's free to do as he wishes.

But I like reading downloads. I don't collect books. Except Bibles, that is.

Much love!

So that is what you tell yourself is justification to say falsehoods about someone?
Integrity.
btw, talk about sounding angry? you have utterly ranted and raged in posts towards Core Issue on several occasions, what you didn't like was I pointed it out.
You also , tried to malign him to others and start a negative campaign against him when he was posting video links.
