I think it wiser to say that the Spirit more so works in our lives through the study of the Word. If you are really serious what you need to do is to get under the teaching of a good pastor/teacher. Get commentaries of godly men who teach on this very doctrine you are taking about. It takes...

If we use the definitions that Calvinists use for TULIP, I am happy to say I reject all 5 points.

It may be interesting for you, but it is not even close to being biblical.

Here are some miscellaneous notes from the OT class i took in college 1 Chron 20.5 (correct reading) And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam. Lets put the two words...

Talk about wandering off the subject! (I am not smarter than everyone else.) Where in hades did that come from. All you can do is be a parrot and write what others say. You are not able to seriously work with the Greek text. You misapply John 16.13 without knowing it. The promise there is to the...

The Greek root of apostasia in the New Testament (NT) is from the words apo meaning "away" and stasis meaning "to stand," so its literal meaning is "a standing away" or "departure". Dr. Andy Woods interprets this as a physical departure or "rapture" that precedes the Antichrist, a view supported...

Sorry to disagree with you, but everything I said above is accurate. Apostasia means to "stand away from." It means "a departure." It is used this way many times in the NT. It may be best if I show you the context of Apostasia in 2 Thes 2: Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our...

I could not make heads or tails out of your interpretation of the Rapture. It looks like you were trying to tease out what the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is about, but that didn't fit. The Rapture is the taking away or the resurrection of the Church to the Father's house in heaven. Yes, it is...

The Apostasia is not something that gradually settles in over time. It is an event (a single occurrence), an observable event. Due to its scarce usage, the definition of the Greek is determined by its cognate verb, which is used frequently in the NT. So, the definition of the verb as well as its...

Prophets don't lie, but if they do, they are called false prophets.

The Masoretes did not work with the Greek manuscripts as far as I know. They worked exclusively with the Hebrew manuscripts. The Vulgate is not a manuscript but a translation of manuscripts. Could you show me an example of the Masoretes adding punctuation to a Greek manuscript? My memory is not...

What in the world are you saying? rushing the Rapture, or people's Rapture. Try rewriting you post, this time use different words. That's my two cents.

Actually, the early church fathers did not insert punctuation, paragraphs, chapter headings and verse numbers. This happened much later.

I can't remember if I have posted the chart below in this Forum, if so, please ignore this post. The objective of this chart is to show that the Rapture and the Second Coming have little in common. BTW, this chart has never been responded to by post tribbers.

Where can I read about the Kingdom of God IN HEAVEN that pertains to the Church? I wouldn't know what to say since I have never read anything like that. Can you start the tread?

When do you become a Christian? Here is the general sequence. 1. You are born with the knowledge that God exists 2. Before the gospel is ever presented to you, you have knowledge that God exists, that he is creator, that he is powerful, and that you will answer to him after death. 3. Armed with...

It looks like the best thing students and scholars of the Bible would do best if they just asked you what is the correct interpretation of any doctrine. I am glad at least one person knows all the right teachings of the Bible. I feel like I ought to worship you. And I certainly will not wrest...

This is the most convoluted take on "Christian Saints" that I have ever read. Can you list a couple of Evangelical scholars who hold that position so I can investigate this. I hope this is not just your understanding of these few texts, since it appears you have not done much a systematic...

FYI. The Church is not mentioned in Rev 20 4,5. It is not "saved Israel" but saved people. It is not limited to Israel. You do not appear to known the Pre Trib position. Who have you read that gave you the position of Pre Trib? You are assuming the Church is mentioned in Rev 7.14. However, once...
