Nobody believes that the great tribulation is 7 years long. It is only 3 and one half years. The book of Revelation gives the weeks in the first half of the tribulation as 3 and one half weeks. The Great tribulation is also 3 and one half weeks. The covenant between the Jews and Antichrist is...

I have blocked Spiritual Israel some time ago. So I don't know what he said. Sorry

What you need to do is to separate tribulation FROM THE Tribulation. This is the most common mistake bible students make. I have stated out here several times that I am a Dispensationalist, we never confuse Israel and the Church. These are two radically different groups and time periods. There...

The times and seasons refers to when the Day of the Lord comes. The believers in Thess knew already (you have no need that I should write to you) that it would come as a thief in the night. The DOL, used in both OT and NT, always refers to a temporal judgment, and here the DOL refers to the...

The 70th seven begins when the nation of Israel signs a 7-year covenant with the Antichrist. This 7 year Tribulation is divided into two equal segments. The first half (3 1/2 years) and the second half (3 1/2 years). Both halves are describes as Tribulation. The first half is actually called the...

Some brief information on the Rapture and the Tribulation from a dispensational perspective The Nature of the Tribulation. Depending on the context, the word tribulation (thlipsis) can have a variety of meanings. First, it can refer to “tribulation” or “trouble” generally (John 16:33; Acts...

Please cite how hell is used in the Creeds that differs from the Bible.

Some of my notes from many years ago on First Peter 3:7 First Peter 3:1-7 In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live, when they see your pure and reverent conduct. Let your...

This passage deals with both Justification1, and Justification2. The examples this author gives are those who were already saved/justified. As Paul says, such an individual is one who God imputes righteousness without works (see Rom 4.6). A better word for the Justification2 is vindicated before...

Older manuscripts are those Greek NT manuscripts that existed in the second century and before. The Sinaiticus and Vaticanus were discovered between 320 AD to 350 AD. For example, the oldest manuscript used in putting the KJV together was in the 9th century. The critical text is much older and...

The Critical Text uses manuscripts that are quite old, there is 48% of the bible extant today that was around in the first 125 years. For example, the KJV's oldest NT manuscript is from the 9th century AD. It is quite late. Reason would dictate that manuscripts closer to the Originals would not...

Have no idea what you are saying but I see enough to know you need some serious theology lessons. I would do a systematic study of Sanctification first of all. Salvation is not a process; it is an event. You really need to study the doctrine of Salvation and Sanctification. Unfortunately a...

The older and better manuscripts do not have the Mark passage you cited (Mk 16:15-16). Mark ends at the end of verse 8. For the Greek students, you will see several words that Mark does not use elsewhere. In other words, the text from Mark 16.9 to the end of the chap has many words used that...

Greater in what sense?

I certainly understand that there are several phases of Salvation. But the first phase is a single event that corresponds to our initial faith in Christ. That initial faith in Christ is the same as being born again. Sanctification is a process and happens throughout our Christian lives. The...

I hate to say this, but I didn't follow your argument above. Where is it that you think I disagree with you?

There is no such doctrine in the Scriptures of becoming saved over a period of time. Salvation is a one time event by those who accept God's offer of Salvation. The word Salvation can also refer to our Sanctification, which is our ongoing progression in becoming more Christ-like. Salvation, when...
