Comments about 2 Pt 3.10 by J. Dwight Pentecost. Things to Come See if this helps you understand the issues of this verse: This passing of the present earth is anticipated in a number of passages (Matt. 24:35; Heb. 1:10-12; Rev. 20:11). It is held by some that this purging of the earth precedes...

Ok, Yes, the Rapture happens like a thief in the night (definitely not before the second coming, where there is death of millions of people). When you say Peace and safety you do not say that at the end of the Trib. There is nothing but death at the end. The AC is ruling the world and causing...

Sorry gb, I am not sure what you are asking. The Second Coming is when all of the the OT saints are resurrected, as well as all those believers/saints in the Trib that died. There will only be believers entering the Millennium, some in their natural bodies, and from these you will still have...

That is correct

Absolutely Not! The fallen away is the Rapture, and the man of sin is identified at the signing of the 7 year contract, which begins the Tribulation. The Bride of Christ is removed before the signing of the 7 year covenant.

I am assuming you did not read my entire last post. perhaps rereading you will see how I answered this very concern. Paul never wrote a word in English, that is, Paul never wrote these words: soon, last days, time is near, quickly, shortly, etc. Translating from the NT Greek documents, there is...

The idea of a any moment return of Christ is known as pre-trib. That's what you see in some of these passages. The 'end' is near is an idiom for the end could happen any moment during the Church Age. The Bride will miss the Tribulation since the Tribulation is part of the Jewish dispensation...

I can think of about 25 passages where the NT says we are to be taught the word by the leadership in a church. The OT anointing was reserved for the leaders, not the Jews in general. For example, the priests were anointed to teach the people God's word. In the NT, the apostles, the...

The problem with this explanation is that it takes passages from two different dispensations/ages and puts them together. Paul in 2 Thess 2 is written to the new elect people of God (i.e. the Church) after God had removed the Jews from their elect status as described in Rom 9-11. You can't have...

Using your spiritual/metaphorical method to interpret passages, I have no disagreement with your conclusions. What you wrote in this post is correct, but their could yet be another interpretation method. Some people interpret scripture allegorically, which would radically differ from your...

Are you referring to Heaven of the Millennium? In the Millennium, which Daniel said would be after Christ's Second Coming, people in their natural bodies will enter the Millennium, and there will be death in the Millennium. I interpret all Scripture literally. so our prophetic interpretive model...

GLOSSA is the Koine Greek word for language, the organ in the mouth, and DIALEKTOS is the word for Dialect or Language. So Luke further narrows it down to dialect in Acts 2. Finally, 1 Cor 14 says that "languages are not for believers, but for the unbelievers." It was designed to witness to...

I sure hope you are not arguing for two Holy Spirits. Also, can we finally rid ourselves of the American Indian word "tongues" for the modern word "languages"?

This is the belief of the Jehovah Witnesses or the Mormons, can't remember which one came my house and presented this teaching that I consider bizarre.

Can you name two scholars who agree with this? A new church and ANOTHER new church of the body of Christ?

See Matthew 16.18 where Jesus says: And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. Note that Jesus said that he WILL (Future Tense) build his church. The church is said to be a future event from Jesus' ministry on earth...

I disagree with your reply. The Church that Paul was persecuting was made up of believers in Christ, Christians as we know them. The Church Age began at Pentecost. Peter mentioned that the Church Age began at the beginning of Pentecost. I am sure you know the passage in Acts. On Pentecost, the...

In Acts 7:38, the "church in the wilderness" refers to the assembly of Israelites during their exodus from Egypt and journey through the wilderness under the leadership of Moses. Last two are the same. They are what I am referring to.

The Mystery is none other than the Church Age.

the first statement is definitely a heretical conclusion (YHWH was created). God the Father is not the Creator, Jesus (YHWH) is. GJohn 1.3, All things were created by him/the Word, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. This is a irrational statement. Which means...
