I would say no, but that being watchful... ...in an eager, anticipatory, and expecting way, of course, and living now in light of that... NOTE: remember Colossians 3:4 ~ "When Christ Who is your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory..." ~ and Hebrews 12:2 ~ "...let us run...

Didn't miss that. Is there such a thing as a "non-quality brother?" :) And there's only so much you can get from a message board... :) Agree on the clarity, but from what he's said in this and other threads... The Word is complete and does make perfect sense ~ it is God's Word after all...

Thank you, WPM. You might explain what you mean by your idealism on Revelation, but don't feel obligated. I've been very even-tempered with him. Very well. I think this is... misdirected. :) But, point taken. Not acknowledging that faith is the gift of God is an egregious error. But...

Well good, but your words conveyed something quite different. Or at least so it seems; you said, "Our present translations have multipl(e) errors in their translations which actually seals the truth of the End Time Prophecies from being discovered." I strongly disagree with that, and would...

This is one of the first true statements you have made. You have continually said to me, "You claim this, and you believe that," as well as "Calvinists claim this and Calvinists claim that," and every time in error, making some kind of ridiculous caricature of these things instead of...

He will return, and it will be sudden. Even dead people ~ who themselves are not unconscious and certainly will not be unaware ~ do not know the day or the hour. Well, if you're going to think about anything I've said, don't first misunderstand or misconstrue... what I have said. :) Grace...

Well, I didn't say that. There are several places where the English language can't quite capture the full force of the Hebrew and/or Greek. But it's not inaccurate. Well, it's overly strident. :) Among other things. :) Oh... uh, yeah... in my opinion. :) I will say, though, that I'm not...

Sure, I'll accept that, and your posts are, likewise, your opinion. Hey, what's up with the "Goodbye" signature? I mean, it's kinda funny... :) Grace and peace to you.

I would submit that those not watching, GB, probably don't have an "eschatological view"... :) Some might do good ~ and even really good ~ things, but whether they are actually producing the fruit of the Spirit is... questionable. Maybe will be, rather than "are"... And in saying that, I'm...

Nope. What I have done, Spiritual Israelite ~ and yes, many times ~ is taken what you have said and carried it out to its logical end, thus making clear the full impact ~ if carried out ~ of what you have said. And those things I think you disagree with, meaning, basically, you're like, "Okay...

I think you're over-thinking this, GB. We are all to be watchful and wary at all times. In the same sense, really, as: Peter's exhortation in 1 Peter 5:9 to "(b)e sober-minded; be watchful... the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your...

In Revelation 16, "great Babylon" is symbolic of the worldly city, which is not an actual city, but the world and it's unrighteous, sinful inhabitants in general. Contrastingly, we, as believers, are the Holy City, the City of God. As Augustine first said (and I'm summarizing, of course, from...

I view it as a warning of a lesser judgment of some type ~ "lesser" not in the sense of being not serious or lacking in severity, but in the sense of a consequence in that time if they continued as they were (their church remaining dead; and again, this warning is just as intensely relevant to...

Obviously not; over and over again, what you have said I believe has not been what I believe, And I have corrected these things many times, clarifying what I do believe. But you keep going back to these misunderstandings about what I believe. Well, okay, but you keep attributing things to him...

@Jay, I do agree with you that what Jeremiah says in chapters 50 and 51 does have very clear implications regarding the end times, and I think @Douggg would agree with that, but @Douggg is absolutely correct in saying, "literal Babylon is relevant to the end time prophecies" but that "the...

We agree concerning full preterism (I think); it's... erroneous. :) So, yeah, no need to even discuss it. Let's back up a little. Well, not necessarily "back up," but rather zoom out, and get a summary of the seven churches in general, and then zoom back in to Sardis. Zooming out, regarding...

Cool. Yes, layered prophecy is a general pattern in Scripture. The mental image is like approaching a mountain range, which, from a distance looks like one big thing, but as you get closer and closer, you see the layers getting deeper and deeper the closer you get... You know, to be quite...

Have you ever heard of a thing called "layered prophecy," GB? Beyond that, I would say that, if each is understood/offered in the right way, all five of those things are correct. And I agree, but not just them. :) True, but preconceived notions can be a problem. Well, I think all of what...

Oh, I'm well aware of that, and that's okay with me, for sure, but really, that's only because you don't rightly understand Calvinism, but a mere ~ false ~ caricature of it, as evidenced by your repeated false allegations regarding it. This is what all Arminians do; it's what Jacobus Arminius...

Okay, well, we disagree on that. :) Well, sure, we all are in need of salvation, for sure. But the point of Revelation is that at all times, no matter how bad things seem, God is in control, and Jesus wins... :) ...and ultimately, our victory is already secured in Christ Jesus. In this way...
