You say posts on dispensationalism throw you for a loop. Yet you adhere to certain dispensations in Scripture. You say you emphasize covenants, as dispensationalism does also. And, dispensationalism recognizes we are now under the New Covenant also. Do you agree with my basic definition of...

I don't understand your statements. You said, "Those that do not overcome are the ones being martyred". You then say, "If they are cowards and do not die for Christ, they will be damned." But, you stated that these are Christians 'going into' the Tribulation. If they are Christians then...

I believe the Jews who live during the Tribulation will make up national Israel. The Gentiles who survive the Tribulation will make up the saved nations who enter the Millennial reign of Christ on this earth. So, no, I do not see a Rapture occurring at the Second Coming. You must account for...

I see, and that is good in my view. Though you do not want to identify with dispensationalism, you do see 'changes' that dispensationalist's might call 'dispensations'. Glad to hear your emphasis on the covenants also. As covenants are important in the dispensations also. Though I'm sure...

So, you believe that there will be a Rapture, but that it occurs during the Second Coming of Christ? Is that correct? I also believe in only one Rapture but disagree with you as to the time of it. As I believe it will occur at the beginning of the Tribulation and in essence starts the 70th...

Well, you describe a dispensation when you say the Old ended and we are now under the New. In other words, the Old is the Mosaic system of Law. The New is, as you said, that of the Spirit led life, which is under Grace. So, would you not consider those as 'Dispensations'? The Dispensation of...

I believe, at this time, that you are correct. I say 'at this time' as I need to refresh myself on the order and nature of these end-time events. This is not a description of the Rapture. It is a description of being taken in judgement. And it is an event that occurs at the Second Coming of...

I agree with your emphasis on context and Scripture interpreting Scripture. I don't understand what you mean by "the only change I see in our New Covenant...has to do with the last 7 years" Do you not see a change from the Mosaic Law to this period of Grace that the Church is under now? I...

You can comment all you want. I am just letting you know I am not interested in your comments, answers, bs, etc.etc.etc. Stranger

Sounds good. My view, as you know is based on the Dispensational interpretation of Scripture. Of course I have Scripture to support it. But it wouldn't matter as your method of interpreting is different. I just didn't know if you were asking because you didn't know or if it had already...

I wasn't asking you. I am not interested in your answer. Stranger

It is a very interesting time for Christians; here in the U.S. and everywhere in the world. Because the whole world is affected, I believe another power is behind this moment. No one group of men, no one government anywhere can administer a world wide stoppage as is going on now. But behind...

So do you have an answer to your question? Stranger

As I said before, no need to name the beggar if it is just a parable. And Christ spoke of it as an actual event. Not as a parable. The Jerusalem Bibles notes are not inspired. The Jerusalem Bible includes the apocryphal books also which I reject. Nothing wrong with the story being true...

No, (Luke 16:19-31) is not a parable. It is a true story as I have showed. The dead before the Cross went to Sheol, Hades. After Christ descended into Hades He led captivity captive as (Eph. 4:8) says. He rescued them from the Paradise section of Hades. (Luke 23:43) You do not understand...

(Ecc. 12:7) Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." I do use the book of (Ecclesiastes) correctly. Stranger

The 'legitimacy' of hell comes from the Bible. Hell doesn't mean 'no God'. Once one enters Hell, which is at this time the place of torment, Sheol or Hades, it doesn't mean he is away from God. He is where God has appointed him to be. The same will be true in a future day when all the...

The reference to Lazarus and the rich man is a true story. It is not an illustration or a parable. Jesus said "There was a certain rich man,...and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus...." (Luke 16:19-20) No need to name the beggar other than it was a true story. As I said earlier...

No, man's spirit is the spirit of man, not as animals. Again, your using the book of (Ecclesiastes) which I explained before is all about this life alone. Life under the sun. But even there it is shown that man's spirit returns to God. (Ecc. 12:7) Man's spirit goes upward. (Ecc. 3:21)...

Your statement that we agree is deceptive. We don't agree. You say you agree then give large amounts of information from wiki that really had nothing to do with my post. The 7 year Tribulation period is not a false doctrine as you claim. The Dispensational method of interpreting the...
