Look at what we're seeing from pre-tribs and premils on all these threads. They just make things up. We see that over and over again. It's all they can do to keep their false doctrines afloat since they can't support them with scripture.

Where do you see the Lord defining the word generation as the average human life span? You won't find that in scripture. Did He tell you this Himself? Why do you think you can just make up definitions for words? If that was acceptable, then we could make scripture say anything we want it to say.

Why would any believer ever be taken off of the earth in order to avoid great tribulation when many Christians have been going through great tribulation for the past 2,000 years or so already? Do you have any idea of what the early Christians went through? Many of them were killed for their...

Do the English definitions of the English words we are reading in our Bible that were translated into English mean nothing to you? Why do you or anyone else think you can make up a definition for that word which does not exist in any dictionary? The word is translated from the Greek word "genea"...

We don't have to keep talking about this if you don't want to. It's up to you. But, I'm not following what you're saying. Do you not see the rest of the dead as coming to life during the thousand years? I don't see the difference between that and them coming to life "through the course of" the...

Show me the scripture which states that the word generation refers to the average life span.

If you can't show it in scripture, which you have shown that you cannot, then it is not true. If your beliefs are just based on mysteries that only you can understand, then you know your beliefs are based only on your imagination.

What translation do you use? I can't find any translation of Revelation 20:5 which could be understood to be saying that the rest of the dead come to life during the thosuand years rather than after the thousand years, so I truly do not know how you are coming to that conclusion. Revelation...

I'm not influenced by his teachings at all. Stop acting like you know what I believe. You clearly do not. Don't try to speak for me.

I'm going by how the word generation is defined in the dictionary. It is never defined as the average human life span. Here are the definitions of the word "generation" from Webster's dictionary, none of which are the average human life span: generation (noun): 1 a: a body of living beings...

You are doing nothing to show any scripture which relates Adam's age to a time period after Christ's return. You have no clear scripture to support your doctrine. Your doctrine is clearly based on your imagination and not on scripture.

No, I do not agree with that. It clearly indicates that the rest of the dead do not come to life until after the thousand years are over and not "through the course of the thousand years". In verse 4 I believe John referred to the dead who had part in the first resurrection. I believe that...

I think it does. Luke 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. I believe this explicitly indicates that the times of the Gentiles would...

That's not the truth, that's something that comes from a very active imagination. If there were two raptures then Paul would have written about two raptures, but he only wrote about one (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3). And Jesus talked about that same...

Yes, put those who can actually exegete scripture and make coherent arguments on ignore, so you all can share your unintelligible gibberish with each other while believing whatever you want to believe instead of what is taught in scripture.

Why are you twisting scripture like this? Psalm 90 does not say that a generation is 80 years. That's talking about the average human life span. The word generation is not in that verse. A generation is not the human life span. You are making up your own definition for the word generation that...

I don't deny that Adam lived 930 years. That has absolutely nothing to do with Revelation 20. You think Revelation 20 has to do with a time after Christ's return. Show me the scripture which relates Adam's age to a time after Christ's return. Good luck with that. You are just making things up...

For example, you try to say that "all these things" must refer to literally everything He had previously said. That is a grammar rule that you made up. It can't possibly mean that and I've shown that in relation to Luke 21:36 how that would mean we should pray to be worthy to escape His second...

Isn't it interesting how Premils never even attempt to answer any of these questions. They deny or ignore many clear scriptures including the ones you have referenced here.

Let the record show that, once again, when his view gets challenged, @Davidpt runs away from the challenge. He doesn't even attempt to address the weaknesses in his view or to answer questions about his understanding of Zechariah 14. He has no clear scripture at all to support his doctrine, so...
