JiF, Please read that one verse in context. Here it is: So this Great Tribulation of which v. 21 speaks happens with God's people, the elect, still here on earth. The biblical evidence points to the elect people of God suffering 'terrible suffering' in the Great Trib. It is to be so severe...

ByGrace, Why don't you provide an exposition of the Scriptures to refute the theology of the rapture? Oz

Do you follow the ethics of relativism or situation ethics?

charity, I don't know what you mean by this: 'so that a defensive can be made'. Did you mean defense instead of defensive? I have been specific in my posts at #29, 35, 37, 79. Are you not following this content that refutes pre-tribulation rapture, which is a fundamental teaching of...

Harvest, Please come to my country and initiate a campaign that contradicts the message of the Bible promoted by the confessing church. So are these errors forced on the nations of the world? It's OK to steal anyone's goods and money if you want to. Shooting students in schools is accepted by...

You didn't answer my questions. I ask them again: Do you follow the ethics of relativism? What happens when the laws of a country clash with the ethics in Scripture? Which do you obey? Why did Corrie ten Boom, a watchmaker, hide the Jews from the Nazis in the closet of her watchmaker shop in...

charity, I object to its idiosyncratic interpretation of Scripture. From what I read of its theory/theology, I find it pushing Scripture to fit its pre-arranged plan. See: What is dispensational premillennialism / premillennial dispensationalism? Oz

DAH, What happened to those 5 missionaries in Ecuador in 1956? Are you suggesting that Jim Eliot and Nate Saint, forgiven sinners by God's grace, suffered at the hands of the Auca Indians because of God's wrath towards them? The fact is that many people in the history of the church have...

Do you follow the ethics of relativism? What happens when the laws of a country clash with the ethics in Scripture? Which do you obey?

DP, I understand that. However, one of the differences between Christian ethics and secular ethics is absolutes vs relativism. Absolutes are true in all cultures for all time. They do not change. Telling lies is always wrong. What is ethical relativism? Relativism is the position that all...

DP, To what are you referring? Oz

I also make it my goal to 'rightly divide the word of truth' (2 Tim 2:15 KJV) or 'correctly handles the word of truth' (NIV); 'correctly explains the word of truth' (NLT). However, my conclusions are different from dispensationalism.

Long post again!

DAH, They are your assertions, opinions, and you provided not one Scripture to support them. Without documented evidence, I have no basis for considering them. In Matt 24:1-14 (NIV), Jesus spoke with the disciples - believers - about the destruction of the temple (vv 1-2). Then the disciples...

DAH, I have researched it quite a bit. I have a PhD in NT, so I'm not a novice in eschatology. For an overview of the historical origins of the pre-tribulation rapture, see Tim Warner, The Origin of the Pretribulation Rapture Doctrine‘, that gives some of the information to which I referred...

DAH, What will happen before Jesus' second coming? Matthew 24:1-14 (NIV) states: Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 2 ‘Do you see all these things?’ he asked. ‘Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left...

Harvest, Welcome to CyB. I trust you have an edifying time here. The formulation of Dispensationalism as a distinct theology is of fairly recent vintage - 200 years old. "Irishman, John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) is unquestionably the father of modern dispensationalism. Darby came from a...

Brothers & sisters in Christ, I invite you to join me in taking the claims of Christ to the Internet public square. I have written an article for an Australian e-journal, On Line Opinion, that was published today, 13th April, titled: 'Cricket ball-tampering disease in all of us'. You may not...

GodsGrace, I'm of the view that the RCC has imposed on priests a 'calling' for which some are not equipped. The Scriptures present the view (supported by the Scriptures given above) that celibacy is for those with that gift (1 Cor 7:7). If RC priests don't have the gift, they should not be in...

Dc, I'm not going out of my way. I'm making a reference to verses in Genesis 2:15-17 (NIV) that say specifically that Adam and Eve did not suffer physical death when they sinned. They didn't drop dead when they ate. If it wasn't physical - as it wasn't - it has to be spiritual death. If there...
