(2 Thess. 2:4) "...in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." You are blending Platonic philosophy with Bible interpretation. It is a common error. Just because something is 'material' doesn't make it evil and corrupt. You need to get away from that. Stranger

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. I indicated that there will be a temple built before Christ returns. It will be rebuilt and in it one day the anti-christ will set up the abomination of desolation. (Matt. 24:15-16) (Eph. 2:3-4) The Jews will be offering sacrifices which...

Indeed, ones understanding depends on their method of interpretation. I do hold to what is called the literal method of interpretation which sees both a rapture of the Church out of the earth to meet Christ in the air. And, I hold to the Second coming of Christ when He comes back to the earth...

Actual stones. Stranger

The rapture can occur at any time. Thus we look for it today. Today could be the day. Could the Second coming of Christ occur today? How so if the temple is not yet built? So, no need to watch....cause He can't come till the temple is built. Correct? Stranger

Seven years is a terribly long time when things are going wrong. Much less the last three and one half years. When each day seems an eternity to get through, seven years is forever. Stranger

It means what it says. Our faith is from God. It is proof and evidence of things not seen that too are from God. So? Stranger

The verse you like to try and quote rebuts you. Stranger

Don't say 'we'. Say 'you'. You don't have evidence because you don't have faith. You need to cite the whole verse. (Heb.11:1) "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Our faith is the evidence for what we hope for. Stranger

Faith doesn't mean you don't know. Faith means you know and so believe contrary to the world's method of knowing. You cannot know by the worlds method. That doesn't mean the believer does not know. Stranger

Yes, you don't know. Thus it is reasonable for you to say you don't know. The Christian knows there is God and Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Thus the difference between you and those like you, and the Christian. Stranger

I showed you in post #(8) that the Bible is the written Word of God. You have not refuted it other than saying Jesus is the Word. Stranger

What does dispensationalism have to do with it? Stranger

Myself I hold to the Rapture, but I do agree with your warning. The Rapture doesn't insure there will not be difficult times. And believers should prepare as much as possible. We should do as much as possible to change things. Voting is the main tool. But we are fast coming to the time when...

Your statement here makes as much sense as the one in # (154). Go back and tell me what your first sentence in (154) is supposed to mean. Stranger

What is this supposed to mean? Explain. Stranger

Love God and deny His Word? What a peach. Stranger

Forums are not for everyone. I have always said that a new believer should never come on to a forum. But, new believer or not, you have to already know what you believe, and be well grounded in it. You have to be willing to fight for it and be able to support it. Every type of strange...

Talk about a forked tongue. The waters drowned everyone in the world. That is how the waters saved Noah. The Ark saved Noah from the waters. The waters saved Noah from the world. Stranger

Far greater doesn't translate into better. The latter stage of the church is that of Laodicea. The final church age. Yet they are in a stage of apostasy. Wonder how that happened with your so called 'superior texts'. Stranger
