So...the Rapture is not the Rapture unless it fits your timeline? Doesn't matter at all what the scripture actually says about it? Cause I'm pretty sure I hit all the scriptural highlights. But, just...nope? That's reasonable. One week in Daniel? Well...you may be trying to get me to slip up...

How is it enforced? Well, that's rather self explainatory. No one can buy or sell. In the example I gave, but it's not just me plucking an example from thin air, it's what would have been intimate to John's readers...the Churches he sent his letter to, participating in the guilds and the...

Did you know that even those of us who will face Christ as our Saviour will still stand before him as our final Judge? It has a completely different meaning for those who are not in Christ, but we still must stand before the judgment seat. So...not quite an AS/OR sort of a thing as you suggest...:D

This passage in no way says there is a cut off date for forgiveness and redemption. It only says that those with 'the mark', who have not repented at the end, will face judgement. We know that. It's the same today for people who do not repent. It's true, I would probably look at it askance...

No, I did not mean to imply that Satan has the power to give such a mark at will. Indeed, I believe that such a "mark" isn't a physical mark at all, but a sign of allegiance, if you will. Forehead and hand signifies thoughts and deeds. Just as we, who are 'sealed' with God's seal, follow him...

You are correct, the NT teaches this, does it not? It teaches this is the truth for all men. That up until the point they die, they have the chance, like the thief on the cross, to repent and be welcomed into the Kingdom. It's part of the gospel, the good news. And yet, this doctrine of the...

Do you need to go back to the greek study? Because no matter what language, the definition: 1: "the day, used of the natural day, or the interval between sunrise and sunset, as distinguished from and contrasted with the night"....is still rather clear, wouldn't you say? Especially for a...

Thank you! But I suspect, as you have posted, it's mostly his word that is doing it! Should all of it be comforting? "Comfort each other with these words?" I just see the bible saying so emphatically, that when Jesus returns...no more! No more mess. Just him! Isn't that the point of his return?

No? How about this? And then we went through the whole meaning of "day". Is that bringing it back now?

Well...if you consider the fact that if "the day of the Lord" is the "end day", like I think it is, it will be the end of time, so that point is moot. But apart from that...are you truly saying that you consider it more valid to say 24 hours is actually 1000 years...or 3 1/2 (clearly depending...

Well, you know what they say: "what's good for the goose is good for the gander." If we can be "sealed", why can't they? You are changing the rules mid-play just to suit your doctrine.

And where do you get this magnificent rule from? Care to share the biblcal precedence for this rule? Because, for me, I can look at scripture and instantly say that Peter says: But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years...

But, it's all much of a muchness, don't you see? It's the very nature of becoming one in Christ. Yes, those 'devout' men who came to Christ were no doubt part of the 'remnant'. But, when they came to Christ, they also became part of the Church. It would have been they, in Acts 8, after the...

I believe "the day" of the Lord is repeated quite a few times as well, if that's all that's necessary to prove somethings serious. But its still okay for you to call that 1000 years, and not okay for me to say 1000 years is perhaps not exactly that? Honestly...can you NOT see the wild hypocrisy...

You complain of others creating strawmen arguments against you, but then you go and try and tell me what I "hold to". The Rapture, biblically, is that event where Paul describes Christians as "meeting the Lord in the air". The "dead in Christ will rise first", then those "who are alive and...

I don't think I do miss the verses that tell us only a remnant will remain...I'm full aware of that. What I'm questioning, really, is how valid it is to hold, literally, to the belief that we must, at some future point, all travel to and live in, the land of, or surrounding Israel. You must...

I don't disagree about strawman arguments. Dispensationalists tend to do that in regards to replacement theology, so I am well aware of the tactic. But, you are, I'm afraid, accusing me of something I did not intend or, in fact, do. As I have repeatedly pointed out to you, my post #157, in...

That's cool...sometimes I find people's statements a little ambiguous, and am not sure which way to go, so find its just best to say outright that I feeling my way. But sure...certainly get back to me on the differences. I welcome the conversation about it.

Two things occur to me: if you're too lazy to make a complete post about what you're trying to sell us on, why on earth should I google anything? The other is...again, why google an event that I think will be bogus? And I think it will be bogus because every other blood moon has been. Do you...

And yet, when I ask for you to show, biblically, this "more", you either can't, or just don't.
