    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    You're turning a verse about Jesus Christ into a verse about some imaginary future Antichrist instead! Worst interpretation of scripture ever! Jesus Christ is the One who confirmed the new covenant and made the old covenant and its animal sacrifices obsolete (Hebrews 8-10). That is what Daniel...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    I agree. Using the grammar rules that some use for Daniel 9:27, we would have to conclude that 2 Thessalonians 2:9 is talking about Jesus rather than "that wicked" (man of sin/lawlessness). 2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Jesus being cut off refers to Him being crucified, not being removed from the sequence of events. He is the one in verse 27 who confirms the covenant, which is the new covenant, which made an end of the old covenant sacrifices and offerings by making them obsolete (Hebrews 8-10). You are very...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    But, they were not taken up to the third heaven/paradise where Jesus is or else Jesus wouldn't have said this.... John 3:13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. Jesus made no exceptions here. No one, including Enoch and Elijah, had ever gone to...

    Both Pretribbers and Preterists are clearly wrong that great tribulation begins with the DOTL.

    You're absolutely right. Notice I wasn't blaming you for me wasting my time trying to discuss things with you. That's on me. I need to just stop doing that since we both know our discussions rarely go anywhere. I was correct. He's going by how he interprets other parts of Revelation in order to...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    I agree that it doesn't refer to Christ's crucifixion itself, but then you say this... You reveal your lack of spiritual discernment yet again. Daniel 9:27 is talking about when Jesus established the new covenant with His blood during the 70th week which also made the old covenant and its...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    So, you think such a significant event as the killing of many Jews in Jerusalem and other parts of Judea and the destruction of the temple buildings that the Jews held in such high regard is not prophesied anywhere in scripture. Why wouldn't it be? It was God's wrath against the unbelieving...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Who fled to the mountains when Jesus was crucified? Why was it particularly difficult for nursing mothers and pregnant women to flee? Why did He say to pray that it wouldn't happen during the winter or on the Sabbath?

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    How can he have so much spiritual discernment, but not be able to answer simple questions? It's a mystery.

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    That's a big difference between you and almost everyone! You try to spiritualize almost the entire Bible. It's a joke. Tell me, can we take what Jesus said in the following passage literally at face value or is there some spiritual meaning that we should take from what Jesus said here... John...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Yes, of course, only you understand. LOL. Could you be more arrogant if you tried? I don't think so. You think you know it all and you know nothing. How about instead of saying pointless things like this, instead share your understanding of what the times of the Gentiles is. And show that in...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    So what? That can be clearly seen by how Matthew recorded the questions. The disciples likely believed that Christ's second coming and the end of the age would coincide with the destruction of the temple buildings, but Jesus, of course, would have known better than that. And the Holy Spirit...

    Using the term "rapture" incorrectly

    Was my question too difficult? I'm not making it complicated at all. Your doctrine is what is complicated with its 4 separate resurrection events. I think the passage is quite straightforward. Jesus said a singular time/hour is coming at which point all who are in the graves will be resurrected...

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    You won't find any translations that word it that way. But, just go ahead and believe what you want to believe since that's obviously what you want to do.

    The Two Witnesses Came and Went Thousands of Years Ago

    No, it refers to all of the people with faith that were previously mentioned, which included Enoch, and it says they all died. You are changing the text to fit your beliefs. Hebrews 11:13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    And that is because He told them that the physical city and temple would be destroyed, right? When He said "see these great buildings?" and proceeded to tell them that no stone would be left upon another (Matthew 24:1-2, Mark 13:1-2, Luke 21:6-7), He was talking about the temple buildings...

    Both Pretribbers and Preterists are clearly wrong that great tribulation begins with the DOTL.

    I clarified what I meant, so what's the problem? You shouldn't still be confused. What a colossal waste of time it is trying to discuss anything with you. We should just not attempt to do so. It never goes anywhere. I misspoke one time and now I'm on your level where you are unclear a majority...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    So, you acknowledge that the disciples were asking Him a question about the destruction of the physical temple buildings, but you think His answer had nothing to do with the destruction of the physical temple buildings?

    Using the term "rapture" incorrectly

    How do you interpret this passage... John 5:28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. You...

    A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

    Tell me which early church fathers agreed with your interpretation of Matthew 24:15-22. I'm not aware of any. Tell me any respected Bible commentator from any time in history who has interpreted Matthew 24:15-22 the way you do.
