    Actually Jesus returns twice...

    No, this is not what Scripture teaches. The Bible shows us that Christ has come ONCE and that He shall come AGAIN when the seventh/last trumpet sounds that time shall be no longer. Isaiah 7:14 (KJV) Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    When and where have I ever denied TWO comings of Christ? What I deny is that the prophets of Old prophesy of TWO comings! Their prophesy speaks only of ONE coming when all that is written of Him is fulfilled during the period of time they call "the day of the LORD". Since I've never mentioned...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Because that is not what I believe Scripture tells us! Premillennialists must have two comings to support their view of one thousand more years after Christ comes again! The erroneous doctrine goes away when we understand the Old Covenant Prophets foretell the Messiah would come, and when He...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    The prophets NEVER spoke of two comings! Rather they prophesy of the Messiah who was to come ONCE, and when He came, He would accomplish all that is written of Him. I agree the prophets did not think of His coming twice, so they wrote only of ONE coming because none before the cross and...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Instead of asking if spirits can exist without a host, I should have asked if spirits can work to accomplish specific purposes outside a physical host? My point is not to deny the existence of spirit beings, but rather my purpose in this thread was to show that Satan is NOT and never has been...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    How do you define 'spirit'? It is possible for a spirit to manifest in physical form, but the spirit itself is unseen while working in and through its host. When the disciples saw Christ walking on the water, they were frightened because they thought He was a ghost. The Greek word...

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

    The Old Covenant nation of Israel had a unique, elect purpose in the plan of God to save His people, because through that nation the promised Messiah would come. Once Christ came to earth a man that unique choosing of them was no longer for only them, but for All people of faith. Once Christ...

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

    Aren't Jewish people also part of humanity, therefore also among "whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved " during this age/day/time the prophets of Old foretell is the day of the Lord?

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    What is your point? Can spirits exist without a physical host? There are angels of God that are unseen spirit beings. And there are also unseen spirit beings called Satan, devils, demons who are adversaries of God and His Church.

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Why would the prophets of old prophesy two comings of Jesus since they prophesy only of "THE day of the LORD cometh"? Nowhere do they speak of the prophesied LORD coming two times. All that the prophets foretell concerning the LORD shall be fulfilled in this age/day/time when the LORD would...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    You're being excessively paranoid! I use exclamation points all the time when I wish to make a definitive point! It has nothing to do with escalating some argument of your imagination or being uncivil. I've replied to your opinion, showing you how and why I have an opinion that differs from...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    If TS didn't believe in the existence of Satan and demonic spiritual beings, he wouldn't say they exist through human hosts? Like I, TS doesn't believe some angels of God were good and became evil beings through disobedience and became demons/devils of Satan. Yes, the spirit within FALLEN...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Yes, Joel not only prophesies about the day of the Lord coming, but his prophesy also includes the final day of the Lord. The last day of the Lord shall be the end of the day of the Lord the prophets of Old foretell would come.

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    How am I trying to start an argument with you? You call lacking understanding of the day of the Lord the prophets foretell semantics? I certainly do not! It's lack of understanding the day of the Lord the prophets foretell came when Christ came to earth a man that many believe there will be...

    What pre-tribulation resurrection/rapture?

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    In taking various posts out of context, without reading the entirety of the thread, one might claim there are replies that prove the denial of the existence of Satan and demonic spirits. However, reading the whole without a preconceived bias it is not true. It's never been a question of...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    I don't disagree with what you're saying, but you're confusing the beginning of the day of the Lord with the last day of the Lord when Christ shall come again. It's true that final day of the Lord shall be unexpected sudden destruction for all who are not eternally saved before the great and...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Yes, the day of the Lord is "always identified with a span of time during which God personally intervenes in history, directly or indirectly, to accomplish some specific aspect of His plan". Wouldn't you agree that a span of time is and has been on-going since Christ came to earth a man? The...
