    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    Hi Michael, If you read through the discussion you would see that I agree that God isn't done with Israel yet. Your words: "if you know exactly how He is going to deal with His kin according to the flesh" The same way He is going to deal with everybody else. Acts 10:34 - "Then Peter opened...

    The Problem with Dispensationalism

    Hi Retro, You’ve got to dig a little deeper than that. What we have is a promise within a promise. Romans 9:6-13 – “6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel(1*) 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all...

    The Problem with Dispensationalism

    Hi Retro, I’m only going to respond to a few of the comments you made. Your words: “Second, a "Messianic Jew" IS a Jew first! Who do you think was the "King of the Jews?" Haven't you made that connection, yet?! We become Jews (even if we weren't originally Jews) the moment we experience the New...

    Why the Christian needs to evangelize ?

    Hi Angela, I disagree with the tone of your post as you said, "As a Christian, evangelism should be a regular and normal part of your routine. If you are not always seeking to save people from the lake of fire – then this shows there is something wrong with your understanding of God’s plans and...

    The Problem with Dispensationalism

    Hi Retro, As long as you agree that all that you said applies to gentiles as well, I have no problem with it.

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    Hi Retro, I’m sorry it’s taken so long to reply but things around the farm need to be dealt with before winter arrives. Marcus already dealt with this part…”Paul absolutely would NOT have quoted a verse for a single phrase out of that verse! That is mishandling the Scriptures!” so I won’t bore...

    The Problem with Dispensationalism

    Hi Retro, Your words: “Yada, yada, yada,.... First, DEFINE "CHURCH!" You THINK you know, but you haven't got a CLUE! For instance, many speak about "the Church" with a capital "C," but that "entity" is merely an extension of the UNIVERSAL ROMAN "Church!" The ROMAN CATHOLIC Church! (The term...

    Hi Weber, Your words: 'Nice theory; except that Genesis doesn't say that the critters would be brought to Noah. No; on the contrary; Genesis 6:20 says that they would come to Noah; and according to Genesis 7:9, that's what they did." Gen. 6:20 doesn't imply in what manner they would come to...

    God's calling help

    Hi Scarin, I don't know if my input will be of any help or not but I'll try. First, do you have the education to be accepted as an evangelist? Do you have a specific point of view that separates you from other evangelists? It's not usually as simple as knocking on a church's door and saying...

    Popular Questions

    Hi Weber, Your words: "Ignorance is a powerful management tool." You missed the whole point. It's not a matter of ignorance, it's a step of faith to leave some things in the hand of God. Does it really matter how God performed the act of creation? Are we striving to be as "gods" ourselves by...

    The Problem with Dispensationalism

    If you’ll notice in Rev. 1:4, it is addressed to the seven churches in the province of Asia. Not synagogues, not temples but churches. The whole book is written to us and for us, the church, the Body of Christ. This brings us to the topic of Dispensationalism. This is the belief that Israel and...

    How can the rapture be anything but pre-trib???

    Hi Retro, Your words: “Sorry for the delay. Lost my first attempt to answer this post. This is a second attempt to answer post #59.” Don’t you just hate it when that happens! It’s happened to me a few times and I found it absolutely frustrating especially after a more than a few pages were...

    Hi Weber, Let's start w/ carbon dating. They say that the half life of carbon is 5,730 yrs. and that it proves unreliable on fossils over 60,000 yrs. old. There just might be a plausible reason for that which would be that nothing is older than that, however that answer doesn't satisfy them so...

    Hi Weber, I was going to take the time to go through your presentation point by point but as I got into it I realized it would take way more time than I have available so I’m just going to focus on some of the highlights. I’m a creationist but I’m not a young-earther. I also don’t subscribe to...

    De-Saving

    Hi Weber, Yes, but I believe the door to repentance would still be open to them unless they start attributing the things of God to Satan. At that point there would be no saving them, imo.

    De-Saving

    Hi Weber, Because once we get to heaven we'll have incorruptible bodies, meaning we will no longer have the capability of sinning so there would never be negative conduct. I wouldn't consider believers as being de-saved at any point unless they return the gift of eternal life out of anger...

    I am stumped. Cannot answer friend's questions

    Hi RJ "but not all Christians read the Noah's Flood story as an actual historical account" Hmm, that's too bad. They must be buying into some sort of psuedo science.

    I am stumped. Cannot answer friend's questions

    Hi Foreigner, This guy comes up with some very good questions based on his somewhat limited knowledge. If I thought God was in any way as he described I would have some serious doubts myself. I edited his remarks to narrow the focus a little bit and highlighted the parts I’m going to address...
