Seeing as I believe the church to already be in heaven at this time, I believe this verse is speaking to the remaining two parties. “Behold I come as a thief,” is spoken to the world and the second part, I believe, is spoken to believing Israel in hiding. I think the best concept that the word...

This verse hasn’t made sense to me for a long time. It just seemed out of place. It’s placement in the book of Rev. seemed illogical because I always assumed it was speaking of the rapture. I was discussing this with a post-tribber but it really doesn’t fit in with the post-trib scenario either...

Was the word church the only term used in the NT to describe us? I will show you that it wasn't. This will probably be long as I will be posting several scriptures but not all of them. Some I will just give the reference to. The terms: elect, election, elect's and elected are all used to...

There are a few more scriptures, all in Revelation, that may shed some light on this subject. Rev. 21:2 - I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. Rev. 21:9-10 - One of the seven angels who had the seven...

Another passage used is found in three of the gospels. Matthew, Mark and Luke, they are all the same. Matt. 9:15 - And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them...

Perhaps, because I'm a male of the species, I've always been uncomfortable with the description of the church as the Bride of Christ. As I've listened to various pre-trib preachers use the constant references of us as the bride of Christ, the discomfort has increased as I've sensed that this...

Back to Rev. 17:9..The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. Here’s something else to think about. Your average atlas names seven mountain ranges across the continental United States. They are, from east to west, the Appalachians, Allegheny, Ozarks, The Rockies, The Bitter Root...

I believe that the USA will become the Babylon of Rev. 17 & 18, however I do not believe it is that Babylon at the moment, nor do I believe that Rome or a future apostate church is the whore mentioned in Rev. 17. I have many reasons for feeling this and I will try to list them all. It is a...

I’m continuing a conversation with Naomi25 concerning whether the millennium is a real thing or not. Naomi25 said in the thread, Replacement theology, #54- “However...in regards to your other idea...of during the millennium the Church will be in heaven while everyone else will be, I assume, in...

Sometimes the identities of the church and Israel get misconstrued which can lead to false conclusions based on wrongful assumptions. There are two Israels in scripture. There is of course the physical nation of Israel and there is a spiritual Israel which is founded in faith and with the...

Now let’s focus on what happened after God created Adam. For example, young-earthers want to believe that when God created Adam, after His day of rest, He created Eve and they woke up the next morning and went straight to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. However, the bible doesn't say...

A Different Look at Genesis I thought it would be interesting to write about the differences of opinion regarding the division with the creationist viewpoint and a little about the theory of evolution. We all know where the evolutionists stand regarding creation and we can arrive at one logical...

11. John said it was the “last hour” (1 John 2:18) when he was writing. Does that mean that its fulfillment is now 17 million hours late? My sources list the time of authorship as 90ad, just before his exile and the authorship of Revelation which many believe was around 95-96 ad.. Hour was just...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post in a long time. I recently came across this challenge and decided to take it on. Here are the questions and my replies that may help others in their discussions with preterists. HERE’S TWENTY QUESTIONS FOR FUTURISTS WRITTEN by Charles Meek (who is a...

The Sleeping Church (Part 3) Oh yeah, there was one more example to point out. I’m sure most of you are familiar with this parable. Matt. 25:1-13 – “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them...

The Sleeping Church (Part 1) Most of us anticipate with great excitement the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, however should that be the case? If we were honest with ourselves, I think that excitement should be tempered with a little fear and trepidation. Why? Because we are failing...

Fifteen hundred years before the birth of the Messiah. The seven feasts foretold, in type, the major redemptive works of His life. The four spring feasts relate to His first coming . His death was depicted in Passover. That His body would not decay in the grave is seen in Unleavened Bread. His...

The Body of Christ vs. The Bride of Christ Perhaps, because I'm a male of the species, I've always been uncomfortable with the description of the church as the Bride of Christ. As I've listened to various pre-trib preachers use the constant references of us as the bride of Christ, the...

A Different Look at Genesis I thought it would be interesting to write about this instead of end-times for a change. Some of you may have read bits and pieces of my thoughts on this but I thought it was time I put them altogether into one comprehensive piece. I am a creationist but I'm also...

In the hopes of starting a conversation and not an argument, I'd like to restart the Genesis issue. I'm going to voice an opinion for starters. I believe that Eve could have had hundreds or thousands of children before Cain. What say you?
