You gave no explanation, how about you tell us why you think 1 Corinthians 6:18 has nothing to do with the mark of the beast. Is it that 1 Corinthians 6:18 isn’t talking about a person’s physical body? If both 1 Corinthians 6:18 and the mark of the beast are referring to a physical body then...

Ok, so why does 1 Corinthians 6:18 say sexual immorality is the only sin against the body, if the mark of the beast is a sin and it’s something a person does to their body?

Why not? Because 1 Corinthians 6:18 say the only sin against your body is fornication. I would think the mark of the beast would qualify as a sin, whether it’s something done to your body or not. Or would you say the mark of the beast isn’t a sin for a believer, and they can go ahead and get the...

1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. The mark of the beast can’t be a microchip implanted into a body.

Yea, I agree, saying the greatest tribulation ever could be a figure of speech. The absolute greatest tribulation that ever will be in the Bible would be to die unsaved and cast into the lake of fire. I don’t know anyone who has the GWT taking place in Matthew 24:21, so it’s a figure of speech...

Thanks for the generous offer on your book. I’m in the process of moving to a different state right now, I might take you up on your offer in a few months.

That’s a fair way of looking at it, but it might create another problem. If the prophecy can’t stop until it’s been fulfilled in full, then what about time itself? If we place a gap in between the weeks, we have essentially stopped (sealed) the prophecy, then unsealed it to start again for a...

Thanks for that response, I can see how you’re arriving at your position. This helps me prepare for any future conversations I might have about Daniel 9:24 with my friend.

Do you know of any examples where the word “sealed” is meant as permanent, never to be opened again? Besides in Daniel 9:24.

Yes, I actually did bring up the point about how all six points are eternal and permanent to my friend as a rebuttal to his view. He counter that with this … “to make an end” of sins uses the same word <2856> that is translated as “to seal up” the vision in Daniel 9:24, and Daniel 12:4,9 uses...

I think you’re putting the most abominable act as crucifying the Messiah, and having the AOD being fulfilled and transgression being finished at the cross. Let me get your thoughts on the word “finish” in Daniel 9:24. In our English vocabulary the word finish usually means to stop an activity...

I don’t know about any Amil folks believing that, some of the preterist folks I talk with thought it was a definite possibility. I have a Premil friend that we occasionally discuss eschatology and he’s the one that explained it to me, I’m not sure where he got it from. He said the word...

In Daniel 9:24 the word “finished” is <3607> which means to restrain, to withhold, to shut up, to keep back. The noun form of that word <3608> means prison, confinement, enclosure. Some people (including some Premill) are interpreting that to mean Satan being bound, the transgression isn’t...

I’m not sure what you mean by this statement. I would say a place can’t be both holy and unholy at the same time. Which to me means the AOD stands in an unholy place that was once holy. If someone were to say the dirt is standing in the clean room, we would know the room is not clean. If that...

If the stones represent people in covenant with God, and according to Hebrews 13:20 His blood is an everlasting covenant, then how does “not one stone on another” take place? Is it referring only to the old covenant and not the new covenant?

Are you insinuating that you can somehow tell if something gets fulfilled without any extra Biblical information?

Well, I quoted what he said, or at least the English translation of what he said. I said “I think” because I’m simply being honest, I haven’t read all of Eusebius’ writings nor have I studied the early church fathers. What do you want? Do you want someone to claim they know exactly what...

I don’t think Eusebius is saying that they knew the exact time to flee by observing events, I think he’s saying when they (approved men) received (vouchsafed) the revelation to flee, they did it. They didn’t go back to get their clothes or things, they got out of Jerusalem and went to Pella...

Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 260-c. 340), the first to write a comprehensive history of the early church and acclaimed Father of Church History said this … Church History 3,5,3. But the people of the church in Jerusalem had been commanded by a revelation, vouchsafed to approved men there before...

I’ve been following this thread and you quoted Eusebius which got me thinking. Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. The words “shall be taken”<3880> occurs 50 times and can have several different meanings. One meaning is to receive...
