    Well the precedence for a gap was given by Yeshua when He stood up in the synagogue and read Isaiah 61:1-2. He stopped just before "And the day of vengeance of our God" in verse 2. That part would come at least 2000 years later. The 70 weeks given to Daniel, the 69 were literal weeks of years...

    Then how was it the Moses appeared along side Yeshua and Elijah at the transfiguration? Matthew 17:1-3 (NKJV) Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and...

    Ah yeah, and how again was that negative comment about government as understanding a reason why some use drugs is abusive to the brethren? No, it wasn't poorly phrased. It was exactly how I meant it. If the Lord appears as disorganized as Government, I think I understand now why some use...

    Where things get all messed up I think is how the term "dispensation" is used. Dispensation simply means a system, order/model, or method. And anyone really has to admit that how Yahweh did things prior to the Flood, after the Flood and prior to the Hebrews coming out of Egypt, from the...

    Well it must be a unique case then. So it must be explained elsewhere in scripture how it is these folks are under the alter in Heaven without their bodies. True enough, one passage does not make a doctrine, but in the context of all scripture it is not out of line. A similar argument can be...

    I think that what is being missed here is that man is a triune being also.... body, soul, and spirit. A reflection of the creator. Also it helps to look at things from a more technical point of view. One can have the greatest computer on the planet, yet it will do nothing without software...

    So how do we see this then..... 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 (NKJV) So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with...

    It wasn't about bible truth I expected and apology for. But not surprised you deflected things. Regarding drugs, the only place I can recall in the last week or more in even suggestion such a thing was a response I gave when it was stated God can do anything in a vision He was giving to John...

    I do agree with you, I do not understand how you arrive at some of the conclusions you promote. But as for abusive remarks, you are way out of line. You must prove that or apologize if you want credibility. I may have used a little levity periodically in describing the issue, but I leveled no...

    I think it is much deeper than that. Whether one holds to a pre, mid, or post removal of the righteous, or no removal at all, still really doesn't need to be concerned about the mark or the antichrist. Just focus on the Lord. While I do hold to a pre-trib view, even if it is not true and we...

    I never cease to be amazed at how various individuals can see passages of scripture so differently. That is ok, we each have different perspective and bring different analysis styles to the table. It was something special just for you! The result was exactly as I expected.

    I really love how you word stuff. There is always a little hint of a dig or cut at alternative positions. "Thinking some will avoid it" I am not sure that those who hold that the redeemed are not part of the GWT see it as "avoiding" it, but simply not in attendance except maybe as observers...

    I was referring to the bema mentioned by Paul in 2 Corinthians 5, not Matthew, since Matthew 24-25 have the Hebrew people primarily in view. The only mention of the bema in Matthew is in chapter 27. No mention of the bema in chapter 25. Break out your Greek Interlinear or concordance. Yes...

    Thanks for that researched expositional response. I think we have more of a bead on who and what you are.

    If you choose to think I am wearing "drunken in the night" glasses, I am cool with that. it would take a lot more than you have to intimidate me. No one has truly been able to do that since I did my time in the Army during the Viet Nam adventure. Words from someone on a forum doesn't even rate...

    And you err. the first verse does not talk about Judah being gathered back to the land. It says a song will be sung in the land of Judah. The next verse talks about the gates being opened and the righteous nation entering in. In Hebrew eschatology that speaks of the gates of heaven and the...

    Simple counter question, do you truly have a comprehension of what that period will be? Do an in-depth study on what the N. Korean brothers and sisters in the Lord have to endure in the prisons and labor camps. Do a thorough study of what the precious brothers and sisters live through. And...

    So, if I take scripture that says "Judas hanged himself", then take scripture that says 'Go thou and do likewise" and put them together in a response post that it now becomes solid doctrine?

    No, I do have a choice and I made it.... John 5:24 (NKJV) Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. The only judgment I have to face is the bema judgment of...

    Well, no one is holding you back. If you want to go thru the calamities coming upon the earth and face the great white throne judgement, that is indeed a choice you can make.
