I disagree with your understanding of the context. It's a key thing to understand that Paul was quoting an Old Testament prophecy from Isaiah 59 in Romans 11:26-27 and not making a new prophecy. Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the...

You are very ignorant, Randy. Abraham was indeed not a Jew and that is a fact. Why are you offended by that? The Jews did descend from Abraham's line through Isaac and Jacob, but Abraham himself was not a Jew. If the fact that the Jews descended from Abraham makes him a Jew then I guess everyone...

Exactly. But, he won't listen. He will just continue foolishly misrepresenting our view using a term that does not describe what we believe because he doesn't care if he misrepresents our view or not. He posted this same thing on another forum and I called him out on his nonsense and he just...

Thank you. I've been posting on a different forum more than I have here lately because I've found the topics there to be more interesting than here recently. You are also on that forum with a different name, but I haven't seen you posting there lately.

But, the 3.5 days is said to happen after the two witnesses finish their testimony (Rev 11:7-9) which is said to last for 1,260 days (Rev 11:3). So, I don't know how the 1,260 days and the 3.5 days could be seen as being the same. It makes sense to me that the 1,260 days represent the New...

Exactly. I just cringe when I see people deny that Luke 21:20-24a is a parallel passage to Matthew 24:15-21. There is just no basis for believing that. It's not as if Jesus said "Let those in Judea flee to the mountains" and "How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing...

I agree with most of that. I agree that the 1260 days (42 months, time, times and half a time) represents the interadvent period, but disagree slightly in that I see the 1260 days as leading up to the beginning of Satan's little season. The reason I say that is because there is a symbolic 3.5...

And I thought John wrote the book of Revelation. Instead, it was written by someone named "Revelation". Huh. ;)

You'll be waiting for a long time since they don't exist.

I agree that it will be a spiritual body, but that spiritual body could have flesh, but it would be different than what we have now. It would be immortal flesh. A spiritual body is not necessarily non-physical. It's immortal, powerful and glorious as described in 1 Corinthians 15. Jesus Himself...

They're not. That isn't reasonable. You're missing the symbolism, as always. Of course. That's a ridiculous notion. It's logistically impossible. Does that not matter to you? No. Where are you getting that from? I don't believe that all people throughout the world will all somehow travel to...

I agree, but in the case of post-trib premils they don't acknowledge that all of Christ's enemies are defeated in chapter 19. Despite the fact that it says this: Revelation 19:18 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather...

LOL. It's aspostasy to interpret the order of the book differently than you? LOL!!! You say some of the most foolish things I've ever seen in my life. That is NOT adding to the book at all. That is completely ridiculous. It's interpreting it differently than you do and nothing more. Don't you...

You don't need to resort to nonsense like this in order to disprove pre-trib. The first seal opened is obviously the first seal of the seven seals and there are 6 seals which follow it. The seals are all clearly numbered (first seal, second seal, third seal, etc.), so denying that only makes it...

Are you using scripture to interpret scripture to draw this conclusion? It doesn't appear so. Notice what is said in this verse: Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ...
