Wait. You are contradicting yourself again. First you insist that the "mark of the beast" must be a literal marking...a device in the hand or forehead. In other words, literal. But when it comes to the 'Mark' upon Christians, then you turn it around and say that "mark" means seal, and we are...

:rolleyes: Tenth times the charm! *fingers crossed* What are we supposed to be hoping will happen this time???

Yes. And then Jesus came. Remember how he changed stuff? You keep missing this point: Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. -Galatians 3:16 And this...

Man...you have a serious bitterness problem. Maybe you need to get that checked out? And no, I didn't know it had to do, specifically with those who hold to the Rapture. In case you hadn't noticed, other people are waiting for his return as well...that doesn't fall on you guys alone. And, yes...

I think Paul says it quite well: Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him that...

Israel does not nourish itself. Listen to how Paul talks about the tree and branches here: If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were...

I'm aware they're different, that's why I said I didn't know where you got your info from. I got mine from Biblehub, also from several passages that cite "day of the lord": 1 Thess 5:2, Acts 2:20 and 2 Cor 1:14 All used the same Strongs number. Okay...here's the thing. I just went to your link...

Let me see if I have this straight. When I go to Revelation, a book heavy on images, a book that clearly uses numbers symbolically in many different ways, and say that the 1000 years doesn't strictly need to be actually 1000 years, I'm a horrible liberal spiritualist. Even though we have verses...

Sorry, I'm not sure I get your point. You think what I've said is the best (which is bad, because you think replacement theology is bad) representation of RT that you've heard? And you disagree? Is that what you're saying? Because if it is, how is any of what I've said unbiblical? Also, it's not...

Still...currently Israel has a population of about 8 million, and worldwide, there are over 2 billion Christians. Even widening those boarders it's going to get a bit snuggly. I think you must realise that Israel was just a picture for what was intended...the whole world belongs to Christ, and...

Thus far you have only said what I have. Swinging dangerously close to replacement theology! :p There's nothing wrong with this either, except for the assumption that it has to happen after the Rapture. The passage does not say that...at all. Says nothing about it. It only says that IF their...

Is there one root or two? Are we grafted onto one Christ, or more than one Christ? If there is only one way for man to be saved...coming to Christ, I would suggest that means there is one root, one tree, one Christ.

I'm unsure where you get your reference from. Here's what I've found in regards to "the DAY of the Lord": Strongs No: 2250 hémera: day Original Word: ἡμέρα, ας, ἡ Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: hémera Phonetic Spelling: (hay-mer'-ah) Definition: day Usage: a day, the period...

I'm not necesarrily opposed to "the day of the Lord" being longer than just a day I'm pointing out the wild inconsistencies in Dispensational hermeneutics. As for "that day" itself, it's refered to in both testaments, a good many times in the OT it refers to temporal punishments against the...

Still with the popcorn :D seems to have blown a gasket or two. YOU asked me if I thought Christ could come at any moment. I gave MY opinion on whether people ought to be idle or not. I spoke for myself, for my beliefs. It had absolutely nothing to do with what I thought the beliefs of...

Quite apart from the fact that this is worlds apart from the 'escape hatch' I was talking about, which you are fully aware of at this point, at what time in human history, or at what "coming" of Christ, will he NOT be rescuing someone from tribulation? If you are correct and there is a...

Um. I don't think we'll fit. Israel be tiny. All Christian's throughout the Earth now? How many would that be? All Christians that have ever been alive? No chance we'd fit. But...again...we have to remember that Israel, like the Garden of Eden, was just a type of the coming reality. When Christ...

Well...two things here. This verse is talking about God bringing in large numbers of unsaved Jews into the Church (the body of believers in Christ), and it seems that that will happen when God has finished, largely, with the "Gentile Nations". This in no way, shape or form speaks to the...

According to which verses? And...aren't you supposed to be, like, literal? If I did that, I'd have fingers pointed at me for 'non-literal interpretation'. 'Literally', shouldn't "the Day of the Lord" be a day, rather than a thousand years? And you get cranky at me for saying the thousand years...

Ok. Well, if this is true, can you show me where Paul makes such a distinction? If there is one, don't you think he would? When he does so much work to make "one body" in Christ, you would expect such an important distinction to be at least mentioned. Instead, we see only the "children of...
