We do not need to use your selected Scriptures to understand prophesy. If you thought smite the nations meant kill every child, woman and man in the countries, you were wrong. Show any verse that says that?

When He warned there would be false Christs that was NOT after He returned. This earth is where He is returning to. Where did you think He would go after this? So what? No believer will believe that.

I hope they at least believe in Jesus even if they have most of the bible wrong and/or don't believe it. Don't ask me to respect such folks who teach children and others such garbage.

You can come up with your own standards. I have no respect for theories that deny basic truths of the bible. Many church outfits are in apostasy. I think the time has come to call a spade a spade and not put up with a lot of wishy washy nonsense that has been dressed up as part of 'christianity'...

No. Having power and using it are different things! He had the power to kill Pilate and all Rome by lifting one baby finger! That does not mean He took over Rome or killed those who assaulted Him. Jesus has the power to come to earth and rule, but there is an appointed time set for that.

Of course. Half the churches I encountered almost seem to think other churches down the street were cults! And that seemed narrow minded to me. However, when faced with outright unbelief in basics of the bible (Rapture, antichrist,tribulation,millennium,etc etc) I would group those sort of...

Not total destruction of the universe or planet! God knows how to weed out the truly wicked and enemies and deal with those who gather together to try and fight Him. Using the word winepress does not mean He murders all people. That is foolishness and monstrous.

In some cases, yes when it is not my private interpretation. There are absolutes. There are foundational issues of faith and basic tenets of prophesy and etc. If someone waves away the tribulation and antichrist and 1000 year reign of Jesus and claims all people are actually killed on earth for...

At the end of 1000 years. Not before. Do you even believe in a thousand year reign of Jesus with His saints? No it is false. People I debate here do not believe that at all. That means they do not believe it period as far as I am concerned. Totally wrong The reign and 1000 years comes after...

Smiting the nations and ruling with a rod of iron does it.

No. The word was not used that wty at all, try to be honest.

To me, sure. To them, no, they probably think they are the smartest man in the world and well connected.

He rules over nations that have had any enemies of God and wicked rebels destroyed out of them.

No one says Jesus could not at any time come and rule the world. The issue is when His timing is. That is why prophesy was given, to clue some of us in to the timing.

No He rules them. First they need some smiting before He gets to ruling.

When many openly display a true and deep ignorance and disdain for the bible I think referring to that group as a cult is a compliment.

No we do not all believe that. Several posters here have waved away the 1000 years as some sort of pretend unreal spiritualized joke. They also do not believe Jesus rules then on earth with His saints. They claim the new earth happens the day Jesus returns. Heaven and earth does not pass away...

So now the time given in weeks and days and years in various places is 'time itself'. Just admit you don't believe what the bible says.

That is not the nations or world.

A cult means a closed group as I tend to use the word. Like a cult that only buys a name brand. Or a cult that follows a certain movie star or etc. So if a section of Christians share beliefs that render the bible dead and void in large measure I can call it a cult. We are not talking about...
