Ok, yeah...fair point. I always took the "fatal wound" to mean an actual death like wound. After all, isn't the guy supposed to be trying to mimic Christ? But, I suppose everyone getting a temporary hate on for him could be seen as a type of death which he could come back from. He does, I'll...

That was back in the 80's before our Pollies decided they needed to ban everything for our "safety". The rules are a bit ridiculous. Although...my husband just ordered a cane knife in the mail for our garden. It's basically a machette, and the thing just turned up in a cardboard box. You could...

I think for a lot of them, at the moment, we provoke them to rage. While there are numerous Jews coming to Christ all the time, I think for us to see a larger number coming in all at once, God must take away that partial hardening, so that they may see, and then be provoked to jealousy.

In the OT, the phrase "day of the Lord" has more meanings than just "that last day". It has that meaning too, on occasion, but it is also used to discribe occasions when God comes in judgement upon the nation of Israel, on other nations of the time, or even sometimes when God comes to vindicate...

The Tribulation spoken of in Matt 24 is clearly the destruction of the Temple. For many reasons that I can get into if you want. In John 16 it talks of general tribulation, and that is something everyone agrees that we have on a daily basis. I'm not even saying that tribulation won't increase...

LOL! Move to Australia. We aren't even allowed to carry pepper spray.

To be fair to them, I think they see it as them being removed before God pours HIS wrath out on the world. However...I can't see any evidence, biblically, to support that. Firstly, every verse I read that talks of God "keeping us from the wrath to come" seems written in the context of final...

And I think that's one of the places they get into trouble...not recognizing the when we reach the NT, Paul teaches us to look back and say, "those promises God made to Abraham, he made them to Christ and to Abrahams spiritual children...the elect." I know Dispensationalists have a really hard...

God doesn't call on us to jettison logic just to see his point. In fact, logic is held together by his laws and very being. It might sound good to say we need to replay common sense with spiritual sense but its not. We shouldn't need to. And if that's what you're relying upon to make your system...

The Church, named as such, no. But the elect? Sure...just follow Abraham's line down, for starters. Every OT believer who looked to God in faith to uphold his original promise to Adam and Eve...to bring forth one to crush the head of the serpant, was found to have saving faith. (Galatians 3:6...

As Christians we need to acknowledge that the bible does condemn homosexual practice. But as Christians we shouldn't be labelling it "abominations"...like these sins are any worse than others. Sin is sin in God eyes and we all sin. Christians are just people who have recognized they need God...

Many things that Jesus talked about are happening, yes. But then, he said that they would be ongoing in the process of "birth pangs", and that we shouldn't worry, for the end was "not yet", in regard to these things. In regard to the other things, while we might watch them with interest, there...

Do you happen to notice that in the verse you quoted that it is Jesus, and the work that he did, that makes us unblemished and without spot? If we are not whores, it is only because we are found in Christ. The only way we can be found pure when he comes, is not by working on getting those stains...

Isn't the Antichrist supposed to sweep in, in a massive cloud of popularity and "fix" everything for a period? Macron's approval rating is at 23%. Everyone hates the man. France's people would string him up if they could. I'm just not sure if that fits with the scenario...do you?

Well...it was you who sort of brought up the differing theologies, but sure, okay, I'm all for sticking to scripture! I'm not sure when I intimated that Christ or the apostles confused Israel with the Gentiles, but I agree...for all that they argue for combining the elect into one, there still...

Well...let's just hang on a moment here. Theoretically, what you say is great, and I fully agree. But the problem is...those of us who hold to covenant theology, rather than dispensationalism, do that. We read the OT in light of the NT, and that's the very thing that gets us "in trouble" with...

Actually, it was sort of interesting how it progressed. Mum and Dad never really talked about it, and I'm not sure they have any idea or opinion on it. Perhaps mum is growing one after talking to me, and after our Church just went through Revelation. Dad does not talk about things. Unless it's...

Mm, okay! Well...not so much here! I live in an SMALL town...about 500 people. I grew up in a pretty conservative family/church. And...well, while I moved away for a bit, we're actually back here. Not much talk about piercing or tattoos! I'm pretty sure my daughter will get a nose ring at some...

Ah well, we can't all be perfect. Kidding! I know several. In fact, my own amazing Grandparents were Dispensational and boy did I love 'em! Best people in the world. So...while I don't agree with some issues...hermeneutical wise, I don't have a "hate on" for you. I kind of love how you guys are...

Yes :)
