    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    Shalom, Marcus. Scripture, please! SCRIPTURE!

    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    Shalom, Marcus. In all this crazy rhetoric, please show Scriptural proof of the far-out claims you are making, like what makes you think that “the midpoint abomination” is yet in the future? What are the “two laws” of which you speak? What makes you think that the Olivet Discourse is “to the...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shalom, Trekson. My words: '“THEIR OWN 'olive tree’" is the "way to God” by “the path of righteousness by faith?” Can’t you see that this is what you are inadvertently arguing? Can you not see that there is a difference placed here between the unbelieving Jew and the unbelieving Gentile? Sure...

    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    Shalom, keras. So that’s it? You simply relegate all the work to a LABEL, “preterism," and dismiss it?! It is SO FRUSTRATING to deal with ignorance! First, I am NOT “promoting the false theory of preterism!” Wow! Talk about short-sighted!! Technically, it is called “PARTIAL preterism” at...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shalom, Trekson. Okay. You’re almost there! These are good answers ... as far as they go, but you now need to take the last step: You said, “I'll say it again, Israel is not the Olive Tree! The ‘tree' is the 'way to God,' 'the path of righteousness by faith' however you want to put it.” Oh...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shabbat shalom, Trekson. LOL!!!! Are you SERIOUS?!!! HA! HA! HA! So, Israel has no place in the New Jerusalem?!?!?! HUH?! Is that why each of the twelve gates is inscribed with the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel?! Where’s the gate for the “righteous?!” Where’s the gate for the...

    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    Shalom, keras. I’m sorry that you took my statement personally. That was NOT my intent. I hold you as my brother and love you in the Lord, and I discuss these things for your well-being, Marcus’ well-being, and for the well-being of others who might read them. However, when I hear errors that...

    Israel's End-Time Beliefs & the anti-Christ

    Shalom, Trekson. Very good reasoning! The only thing that I would ask is this: Do you believe that 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 is about this “antichrist” of New Testament prophecy? If so, then there is a slight problem: In the paragraph,... "The leadership quality of Mashiach means that through his...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shalom, Trekson. ... And THAT is why you will never fully understand the Scriptures! It IS all about Israel and to deny that fact is to deny God’s Messiah! Sure it is God’s concept, but Israel was, is, and always will be God’s people! God does NOT renege on His promises! Romans 3:1-2 1 What...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shalom, guysmith. I can agree with this IF you first define who “the dead in Christ” are and second, what it means to be an “end time believer.” And, this is ESPECIALLY true in light of the fact that you believe they are “the remnant of Israel” or “the remnant that Adonai calls!” You may want...

    The Day of the Lord is at hand for all the nations

    Shalom, gentlemen. You BOTH are arguing about matters that neither of you understand. First of all, you BOTH misconstrue the meaning of the Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, and Luke 21. Quit taking the word of whoever you read or to whom you listen and READ IT IN THE GREEK! Combine...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shalom, guysmith. Heavens, no! Now that the Goyim are included, believing Goyim have become ONE with the children of Israel IN THE MESSIAH! (Outside of the Messiah, there is still a difference between the Goyim and the children of Israel.) Go? Go where? Do you mean “to heaven?” If so, no. I...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shalom, guysmith. I use no “reference book.” Furthermore, I am not enamored by the Complete Jewish Bible; I find that it has flaws the same as any English version of the Bible. However, it does read easily and clearly with its emphasis along the correct lines of reasoning, that is, from a...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Trekson. Your words: “Sorry Retro but you didn’t include the first five highlighted words in your original statement. You just said 'terminology was paramount' and my dictionary says paramount means of the highest importance which I took to mean that you were placing your knowledge...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shalom, guysmith. Oh, just a “pocket of believers that are alive at His advent?” I don’t think so! It would be better if you read the REST of the story in Z’kharyahu’s prophecy ... and in a better version than most. Zechariah 14:1-5 is NOT about Yeshua`s return to earth. He will have already...

    Retrobyter, concerning the rescue

    Shalom, guysmith. Oh, we’re doing this publicly, too? Sure. I may have said this already in one of the posts, but if you just look at Romans 10:13 and its counterpart (from which it was quoted), Joel 2:32, that will give you some background. Consider ALL of the context of Joel 2:32, i.e., the...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Trekson. Your words: “You are obviously a wordsmith, have an affinity for languages and are a stickler for details. As such that is why your approach to scripture comes from the direction it does. That is why you would make a comment like 'terminology is paramount to a good...

    Heaven

    Shalom, Trekson. Let’s correct a few minor points that all add up. (Bad theology is accumulative.) No one can have a valid understanding of Scripture without first a valid understanding of the terms one is reading. Terminology is PARAMOUNT to a good understanding of Scripture! Being the son...

    Heaven

    Shalom, keras. You’ve somehow misunderstood what I was saying. I do NOT believe in a “rapture” to “heaven.” It’s simple: THERE IS NO “HEAVEN" TO WHICH ONE CAN GO (regardless Strong’s definitions)! And, you are WRONG about “Jesus ... not talking about the sky, our atmosphere, in John 3:13.”...

    Heaven

    Shalom, keras. It’s really quite simple, but one has to see it for himself to believe it. The Greek word “ouranos” means the “sky,” talking about the earth’s “ATMOSPHERE!” That’s the Greek word often translated as “heaven,” and it’s the word used in John 3:13: Kata Iooanneen 3:13 13 Kai oudeis...
