    Indisputable proof that the Premillennial theory contradicts Scripture

    Why didn't Jesus bother correcting them about any of these things, assuming they were asking this in vain? Look how He answered them, though---It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. What a bizarre way to answer if what they were asking of...

    The Coming Rapture

    Assuming you are right and I am wrong, how do you propose the dead in Christ can obtain immortal bodies when that is not even possible until the last trump sounds first? Not only does a pretrib rapture cause issues with the last trump in regards to them, so does the dead in Christ cause issues...

    Indisputable proof that the Premillennial theory contradicts Scripture

    Acts 1:6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? Which Israel do you think this is referring to? Keeping in mind the text says 'restore again' something that couldnn't possibly apply to the church, as...

    The Coming Rapture

    You mean the same pretribbers that are raptured in the mortal bodies they are in at the time, then remain in those same mortal bodies until the time of the last trump some years later? No one is changed from a mortal body to an immortal body until the last trump. Which then means every single...

    Is the Judgment Seat of Christ separate from the Great White Throne Judgment?

    Except I don't interpret these 7 churches in the same manner you might. I think they are applicable all throughout the NT church era involving the past 2000 years though when He returns, not just back then. For example, one of the churches Jesus said this to it--- Repent; or else I will come...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    It is absurd that the AOD meant in the Discourse has anything to do with any of this. Once again, if Matthew 24:15-20 is involving the first century leading up to 70 AD, that means we are required to take everything as literal the fact those events were literal. If the AOD involved the cross...

    Is the Judgment Seat of Christ separate from the Great White Throne Judgment?

    Your interpretation of this makes no sense. Because of your doctrinal bias you have to deny that a time period post that of the 2nd coming is required in order to fulfill this. Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie...

    AI in the News? Why Now?

    AI does involve humans training it and then involving weights they call models, where, in some cases they release the weights and the code, thus open source. Which means you can run these things locally on your computer without an internet connection. Assuming you have a pc powerful enough and...

    AI in the News? Why Now?

    That code is interesting, yet the text says it is the number of a man. Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. On a side note, look at all the bandwidth...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    In my case what would the doctrinal bias be pertaining to in particular? IOW, what doctrinal reason would I need it to be what I take it to mean? It doesn't help support Premil one way or the other, so that can't be why I need it to mean what I take it to mean. And since I'm Post trib, I don't...

    AI in the News? Why Now?

    The following passage has puzzled me for some time now. Mainly meaning verse 6. Why would it say that death would flee from them? Should we take that literally? I'm now beginning to think maybe yes. Revelation 9:5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Except that ignores some things that Jesus said that couldn't possibly fit the first century. Such as. Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Then compare that with this... Matthew...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    LOL at myself for forgetting that. It indeed shows some fleeing when He returns, Except I don't see Luke 17:31-33 being in regards to any of that. Especially in light of verse 33 then comparing that with Matthew 16:24-26, for instance. But not that Matthew 16:24-26 is meaning Luke 17:33, but...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    What some are ignoring, before Christ can even return, there are two totally different events involving a temple that have to be fulfilled first. One of those events has already been fulfilled, meaning in the first century and the 2nd temple being destroyed. Except that has zero to do with the...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    The only way I can see to square this, in the day the Son of man is revealed is not meaning in the day they are to flee. Keeping in mind that if 70 AD is meant, your view, it would be Christians that are to flee. If meaning the 2nd coming, it would be the unsaved that are to flee. Neither of...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Trust me, I get your point, but even so, it will be obvious when the real Christ arrives. It won't even be questionable at that point. No one, and I mean no one, will be able to deny that the real Christ has arrived. After all, legions of angels will be accompanying Him for one thing.

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    IOW, you don't agree, that even in our day and time, there is such a thing as someone that can fit what Luke 17:23 records? Keeping in mind that He said that right after what He said in verse 22. Also keeping in mind, He expanded on some of this even further, in Matthew 24, verses 23-26, for...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    In this case, even though you may be right about some of those things, look again what Jesus said in Matthew 24:21---such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. How can this be trumped or even repeated--- no, nor ever shall be?

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    I still don't fully get what you are meaning here. In Matthew 24, it is at the beginning of great tribulation that they begin fleeing. Obviously, during B), meaning while B) is still true, they never see one of the days of the Son of man they are desiring to see, because one of the days is...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Speaking for myself, I'm not fully grasping what you're meaning. Take Matthew 24:21, for instance. That can only be involving one specific era of time. If it involves the first century we then can't also apply it to the future, in any sense. After all, the next verse says those days are cut...
