Why do you base your beliefs partly on what those who are part of a false religion (Judaism) believe? That is not wise. They have no understanding of the Bible. Also, let me remind everyone that you think the people of the prince to come were the Romans who destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD. But...

Right. It's all figurative. A dragon being chained up with a great chain in a prison is all figurative language to describe Satan's binding. If not for doctrinal bias, no one would miss that. Premills also ignore that he is bound with "a great chain". They interpret it instead as a very small or...

Oh look, another person who thinks it's okay to make up his own definitions for words in order to make scripture say what he wants it to say. Nowhere does scripture or any dictionary define a generation as the human life span. You guys are incredibly dishonest and willing to twist scripture...

Is it possible for you to slow it down any further? It doesn't seem like it. I expect people to back up their beliefs with scripture, which you are clearly incapable of doing.

I agree. And there's also Luke 21:20. Did Jesus really need to specifically mention the destruction of the temple buildings there in order to be referring to that? No. Obviously, the destruction and desolation of Jerusalem would include the temple buildings, so that goes without saying when it...

Are you just pretending to be dull? If you're going to claim that a generation can refer to the average human life span, then the onus is on you to prove that. And you have provided nothing to back that up. And there is no dictionary which gives that definition, either. So, what you are proving...

I was asking him, not you. I quoted what you said as reference for what he was referring to. I know that you also have no idea of where he got that idea from. I doubt anyone can even guess where he got that idea from. I'm not even sure if he can tell us where he got it from. It's just total...

You have nothing from scripture to prove that aliens from outer space will one day rule the world, so I guess that must be true. There is nothing in scripture saying that I'm not 10 feet tall, so I guess I must be 10 feet tall. There is nothing in scripture saying that you have any idea of what...

No, I was just kidding. Yes, really. Did I come across that I wasn't being serious? How many times do I have to say that scripture never defines the average human life span as being a generation? The word generation never means the average human life span. If that's what you're trying to say...

Where is the scripture which shows that a generation can refer to the average human life span? That is what someone was claiming and using Psalm 90:10 as evidence. So, do you have any such scripture or not? If not, then thank you for verifying that you believe we can just apply any definition to...

Agree. That reminds me of how most Premills who interpret Zechariah 14 as occurring after Christ returns while relating it to Revelation 20 also see Zechariah 12 and 13 as having a future fulfillment. Yet, verses like Zechariah 12:10 and Zechariah 13:7 are quoted by Jesus as having a first...

Good point. If they want to base their doctrine primarily on OT scriptures like these then they need to show how these scriptures can be reconciled. One passage talks about the families of Egypt going to Jerusalem and another talks about Egypt being a desolation. But, Premills relate both...

You have no scripture which teaches that, so I guess you think it's okay to just make things up? Scripture never teaches that we will not be ruled by aliens on the new earth, so I guess that must be true then, right? If scripture doesn't say otherwise, then it must be true, right? According to...

What does that mean? What does the human lifespan have to do with a "fig generation"? Nothing. I don't know what you're saying because you're being very vague in this post.

LOL. This is nothing less than hilarious. Do you ever read anything I say carefully at all? I have said many times that Zechariah 14 is one of the most difficult to interpret passages in all of scripture. Can you not remember me ever saying that to you? I know you forget at least 99% of what I...

They never attempt to even answer one of the questions in your list. It's not like you would not find it to be acceptable if they at least answered one or two of the questions instead of all of them. But, they can't even answer any of them. There is so much scripture that their beliefs...

You completely missed his point. Are you even trying to see it? You interpret things literally when it suits your doctrine and figuratively when it suits your doctrine. There is no consistency in your hermeneutics, as he said. Why do you take everything before verse 16 in Zechariah 14 literally...

Absolutely right. Premills repeatedly fail to acknowledge the tremendous impact that Christ's ministry, death, resurrection and gospel has had on Satan in New Testament times. They act as if nothing really changes as it relates to Satan in NT times compared to OT times, which is just utterly...

Right. He often interprets figurative text literally and literal text figuratively and, like you said, there is no consistency in his hermeneutics. He interprets every verse with doctrinal bias, so even when something is clearly literal, like 2 Peter 3:10-12 or Matthew 24:15-21, he will...

Jesus quoted verses from Zechariah 12 and 13 as having a first coming fulfillment, not a second coming fulfillment. Do you not trust that Jesus knew the Old Testament better than any of us do? Prophecy: Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of...
