    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    Some doesn't mean all, therefore, only some Amils believe that, not all Amils do. I have heard numerous Amils reject that literal interpretation over the years. Granted, some of them are Preterists, not full Preterists though, at least not as far as I could tell. And that they claimed to be Amil...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    What is your view of the first 6 seals in relation to trumpet 1 and the other 6 trumpets that follow that? Do you think all 6 seals are fulfilled first followed by the fulfilling of the trumpets? If you were to place the first 6 trumpets in Matthew 24 somewhere, where would you place them...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Thinking out loud here. Let's just reason things the way Preterists reasons things, that 'great tribulation' is already in the past, it happened in the first century involving 70 AD. Therefore, Pretribbers have nothing to fear to begin with, right? Or let's just reason things the way both...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Unfortunately, me being juvenile and cheap according to you, which may even be true in this case, is the least of your worries once great tribulation is upon us big time and that all of you Pretribbers are still here. Apparently, that is the only thing that is going to convince you that you have...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    It's called 'not once saved always saved'. That's one thing verse 49 pertains to, not what you take it to be involving. It isn't even remotely meaning His resurrection. From what I can tell, unless I overlooked something, there appears to be nothing in all of the Discourse from start to finish...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    Yet, Jesus is rewarding some with authority over things when He returns. For what reason if things should be understood as you laid them out here? He is giving them authority over what? Let's not forget what 'authority' means in general. Having authority over something demands that there has to...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    At the time of them having said that I wholeheartedly agree Luke 17:20-21 would be applicable. Yet, there is a huge difference between the here and now and when Christ returns, and that the main focus of that parable is when He returns. You are not going to suggest that once He returns, Luke...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    The problem with your interpretation is this. Let's assume for a moment that the one's entrusted with the pounds, that that is who the nobleman is meaning. Unless you haven't noticed, not all of them did what the wicked servant did. Assuming the nobleman is meaning one of these servants, though...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Let's look at these 2 for a moment. Matthew 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: ) Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    And if that reward includes having authority over something, what is it that they are having authority over and how long are they having authority over whatever they are having authority over? Luke 19 indicates that it is cities, tbh though, I'm not certain what that might look like. All I know...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    Let's get on the same page here at least. First of all, as pertaining to a literal kingdom. the parable is involving after Christ has returned, in regards to a kingdom. You would have us believe that there is no literal kingdom, one that one can touch, see with their own eyes, after Christ has...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    A perfect title for them since I assume that wasn't a typo---pre-fibbers. I like it. I'm sure they don't, though. But that is their problem not mine. After all, they are the ones contradicting Scripture after Scripture by insisting the rapture precedes great tribulation rather than follows it...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    I'm assuming you realize that initially there are things hidden in the OT that aren't revealed until there is the NT, right? But then you make absurd arguments against that idea by arguing, where does it mention a tribulation period in Daniel 9, for example? How about here, for one? and for...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    The OP continued... Luke 19:15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying...

    Some key points pertaining to the parable per Luke 19:11-27.

    The first thing to note is what verse 11 does not say. Luke 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. This verse does not say the kingdom of God will never...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    But I did explain why they have to be the same trump in this case. That being that someone is rising from the dead and that 1 Corinthians 15:52 is the only Scripture I'm aware of that tells us when someone rising from the dead puts on bodily immortality, that being the last trump. IOW, it is...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Why are you insisting Christ has fulfilled, as in already, then providing that link which contradicts that, at least according 6. on that list, meaning the following? Plus 7. on that list as well since that author is using Zechariah 14 to support that, in regards to the feast of tabernacles...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Sometimes it takes using logical deducing of things. If Christ fulfilled the Spring feasts in their correct order and correct season, the same has to be true in regards to the Fall feasts. They too have to be fulfilled in the correct order and correct season, keeping in mind that Spring always...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Exactly! Therefore, not saying anyone would. I merely used it as an example to show that if someone is rising from the dead, such as per the rapture event recorded in 1 Thessalonians 4, they, just like Christ did, would be putting on bodily immortality the moment they rise. But how could they if...

    It is time to give Pretrib a decent burial

    Maybe there are 2 last trumps as well. Right? Keeping in mind that the last trump recorded in 1 Corinthians 15:52 is obviously the same trump recorded in 1 Thessalonians 4:16. After all, both accounts involve someone literally bodily rising from the dead. It makes no sense to bodily rise from...
