If you knew how to use Google, you could easily find dispensational theology. Here is one link: http://www.moodymedia.org/articles/moody-church-dispensational-its-theology/

So is your God the one who continues to allow liars into the Kingdom? Is there no final Judgment with your God?

They could say: Purpose is not a word I use. There is no real purpose in life. I'm here because Mum and Dad got together in bed and here I am. I make out of life what I want. Good and evil are based on government or individual decisions. My government thinks abortion is OK so that's a good...

So, would you say that you are a dispensationalist in your understanding of the pre-tribulation rapture? You have too many presuppositions here to deal with. Besides, the topic is 'soul sleep'. I'll not respond further until we get back to the OP.

And that does not deal with the nature of Christ's resurrection and the nature of his second coming. That's the point I'm making. That is not included in the doctrine of the Incarnation.

Please give me chapter and verse.

You still are not answering what I asked at #14. You've given another red herring fallacy.

aspen, When I married my youngest son and his wife, he said to me, 'Dad, please do not say anything Christian in this wedding ceremony'. He and his wife-to-be wanted me, a marriage celebrant, to marry them but he wanted nothing to do with God and Christ in the ceremony. This was very sad for my...

Jim, This thread is not attracting much traffic. I agree with you that belief takes humility, especially when we receive the evidence of our sinful state. I consider that there is another dimension that many think is counter to belief. It's summarised in Hebrews 11:6 (NLT), 'And it is...

David, I don't consider that we need to determine which denomination is correct. The issue is how to discern truth from error, righteousness from unrighteousness, and that is the responsibility of all Christians. In my part of the world I don't see a lot of people in the churches being equipped...

To what were you referring, Jim?

ATP, You use Matt 24:40-41 (NIV) to support the secret rapture. Let's look at the verses in context: Are you saying that verses 41-42 support 50% of people being raptured as 'one will be taken and the other left'? Seems to me that this but an example of v. 44, you also must be ready, because...

What does the Doctrine of the Incarnation cover? I'm missing your point. Would you please explain further.

That's an outgrowth of people who have accepted the Gospel and been born again. The Gospel is: 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life' (John 3:16 ESV).

The nature of Christ's resurrection and the nature of his second coming are not connected to the meaning of the doctrine of the Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity deals with God's being plurality within unity, i.e. there is only one God (unity) but there is a plurality of persons (Father, Son...

Stan, A T Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament is a marvellous resource for those who want some Greek exegetical skills for the NT. It's available online with BibleStudyTools.com. Sadly, BibleStudyTools has fiddled with some of the biblical references from the original by Robertson (I...

aspen, Second Timothy 4:2 (NLT) states, 'Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching'. This is an exhortation to preachers to 'preach the word of God'. Is this the word of God in English...

In my articles I provide evidence for the Rapture AFTER the Great Tribulation. To go through the Great Tribulation is not to experience the wrath of God. The wrath of God against me has been propitiated by Christ's death and shed blood (see 1 John 2:2 ESV). Many Christians in the world today...

There are other false doctrines that the JWs teach: 1. They do not believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ. They state, 'So the King Christ Jesus was put to death in the flesh and was resurrected an invisible spirit creature; therefore, the world will see him no more. (1 Peter 3:18; John...
