    No Law : Under Grace

    Agreed. KJV Galatians 3:10-13 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Matthew 24:37-41 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Interesting you accept this truth. And I couldn't agree with you more. Prophetic time is symbolic, just like the rest of prophecy. But the Bible itself tells us how to interpret the symbols. Prophetic time is understood by a principle, day for a year. One day in prophecy equals a literal year in...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Scripture. Not Left Behind fiction novels based on Jesuit teaching from the counter reformation.

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    The description of the end times given in Matthew 24 described by Jesus, is a picture of a world where the vast majority are carrying on life as if everything is normal and nothing amiss. Marrying and giving in marriage, eating and drinking, as if the world is going to last forever and all is...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    I disagree. That particular event, when Jesus returns with the saints inside the new Jerusalem takes place at the end of the millennium. As you say, Jesus at the second coming will not even touch Israel. We meet the Lord in the air, and so will we always be with Him. The wicked dead are not...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    You are revealing your lack of understanding of what historicism actually is. It isn't preterism which has all prophecy completed. Historicism is a hermeneutic that recognises prophecy as beginning to be fulfilled from the time it was given. Daniel 2,7,8,9, and 11 are prime examples of this. But...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    I am aware the church does not teach idolatry. Yet it does practise it. Graven images abound. I know, I was there for many years. I have witnessed the intense devotion of Catholics to Mary, surpassing even the devotions of many to their football teams etc which is blatant idolatry. And worse...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    I remember several pages back you supplied a long list of scripture intended to support your theories. I read them. They didn't say what you are desperately wanting them to say. Every single one of them was a reference to the second coming. Nothing about a secret pretrib rapture. Ironically...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    That kind of thinking is an inevitable result of the over inflated devotion given to Mary by the church. It borders on idolatry, and in many cases, and in many minds, is well over the border and is an ensconced citizen of darkness.

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    KJV Revelation 19:1-10 1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    All we need to do is quote Jesus. KJV Matthew 24:27-31, 39, 41 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    It's both. Coming in the clouds, means coming with angels. Jesus comes with His angels, shouts, with the trumpet, and the angels are sent to harvest. There are no saints in heaven now, sorry from Moses and Elijah and Enoch and maybe a few others, and won't be until the resurrection. All the...

    The Galilean wedding is the model for the pre-trib rapture

    Not one of those scriptures says anything about Christians being taken away before the tribulation. Not one.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    I quoted the very passages which teach that very thing in an earlier post. You rejected it. That's your problem, but mine.

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    A number of years ago, with an unprecedented appeal from Pope Francis to a combined convocation of Pentecostal and charismatic church leaders under the aegis of the well known Kenneth Copeland, a challenge was issued to all protestants worldwide. Anglican Bishop the late Tony Palmer claimed that...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    Futurism is akin to a spiritualist version of pin the tail on the donkey. Blindly wandering through scripture and taking stabs in the dark based on imagination and fictional movies and books. The time of the second coming is closer than any of you think. Time to get serious about seeking truth...

    Why Antiochus Epiphanes IV Is Not The Little Horn - Part I: "in the latter time of their kingdom"

    How can anyone be so demonstrably certain and be so confident and assertive concerning something that perhaps, maybe, in some unknown distant or near future, and at the same time deny what has already taken place in the past?
