And it says that....? Does it say: "Immediately after the Tribulation of those days I saw Satan bound for a thousand years"? Once again, you are inserting things into the text to fit a doctrine you presuppose....

I know how Dispensationalists put together their calculations. My point was, it is not necessarily correct to assume that 445-44bc is the date the 70 weeks started. And if this is indeed the case, which I think biblical data can back up, then we need to seriously consider if the 70 weeks is...

Scripture? Where we differ is time, and direction. You think the Rapture must happen 7 years before the "end, end", and that those Raptured must continue up and spend those 7 years Must? Will is more accurate. Christs Church all gathered together...The Wedding, Marriage, Feast, Mingling...

Well, where does it say that when Satan is bound it will be an amazing, glorious Kingdom? Where does it say that Satan is completely impotent? Look, here's what Rev 20 actually says about it: Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a...

Here's the thing: I think there's often a bit of a misconception about those of us who take Revelation 'symbolically'. Because, sure, while we see that it is chock full of symbols, and that those symbols are used to create meaningful ideas that point to the OT or other parts of scripture to...

I think...this: Future Glory For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. -Romans 8:18 I think that what is coming after this life is so far beyond what we are capable of imagining, that it will make the sufferings...

Well, like I said. One easy way to determine who is right and who is wrong on this matter. Talk to you in a few days....

I think the main difference, boiled down, is how we see Israel, and the texts regarding it in the OT once we hit NT understanding. I believe the coming of Christ changes it, as it changes other features (old covenant, temple, etc) whereas I'm seeing you say that you hold those things true even...

Not exactly how it went down. You asked me how I saw the 7th week, right enough (#189). And I answered honestly that I saw it as a symbolic number (#191). You didn't ask me to proved that by scripture though, you decided that my answer gave you leave to accuse me of spiritualizing away Jesus...

And super reassuring! If you were the persecuted Church that John was writing to, would this not give you such a sense of serenity, knowing that Christ has truly conquered and reigns over everything? It certainly helps now, especially those brothers and sisters who are currently suffering and...

Thanks for clarifying. The problem I have with 'blood moons' is that, as you say above, while not as common as a full moon every month, they are, none the less, seen throughout history as a fairly routine occurance. If we saw one every thousand years, then perhaps we should sit up and take...

It was more a sarcastic remark that you could not. And really, you are on THIS forum, okay? If you've written a heap of stuff, good for you. But take the ten seconds to copy and paste it here, hmm? Better yet, how about you skip that, and give me bible verses like I keep asking for? I am quite...

Okay, well, let me just hone in one particular image. When Revelation says "I saw a Lamb, standing as though it had been slain", we automatically know it is talking about Jesus. But how? It doesn't say Jesus, or Christ, or even the Son of Man. In fact, the only precursor is The Lion of the tribe...

There is, of course, no guarantee that I am going to agree that the scriptures you post are going to mean what you think they mean. After all, I have just posted what I think they mean...but anything's possible, I am open. But here's the thing. IF you think Dispenationalism can truly stand up...

You're banning me from this site until I go to your particular website and read your stuff? Sure. Whatever. Good luck with that.

You say this "moon" comes just after a "darkened time of the sun". What does that mean? Do you mean it's not putting out as much oomph? Because, I have to tell you, here in Australia, we've just been through several weeks of the hottest weather I can remember. Consistantly up i the 40's. Even up...

The point, apparently, is your ability to dodge wildly when backed into a corner your own inconsistancies have placed you in. You accused me of not holding to a biblical interpretation of scripture. So I invited you to show me, biblically, how I was wrong. You dodged. I asked you how someone...

Well, I mostly agree with you, about how we see the Covenant of the OT morphing into what we see in the NT through Jesus. But, I think instead of insisting that 'old Israel' as we saw it in the OT must still contiune on in it's covenant promise from the OT, we must also see that once we reach...

Well, have it your way, I suppose, but I think you're dodging some pretty clear scriptures.

You'd like to think that. But, if you can truly could support it, I invite you to show how they are not connected.
