    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Yes, and here is what Paul revealed about that prophecy. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    If you're going to insist that Zechariah 14 is describing the same day of the Lord as 2 Peter 3:10-12, then you need to be able to explain how to reconcile the two passages, but you make no attempt to do so. You do know enough that the new heavens and new earth are ushered in upon the arrival of...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    I haven't paid close enough attention to his view to know how he interprets verse 4, but I did see that he referenced John 7:37-39 in relation to Zechariah 14:8, which I think is a viable possibility of what the verse is talking about. Can you just stop referencing me in any post where you are...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Does the rest of scripture mean anything to you when you interpret Zechariah 14? Paul said we will meet Jesus in the air when He returns, not in Jerusalem. Nowhere does scripture ever teach that Jesus is returning to Jerusalem. It says He is coming down from heaven in like manner as He ascended...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Where do 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 and 2 Peter 3:10-12 indicate that the day of the Lord is an event that centers around earthly Jerusalem rather than being a global event that affects the entire world?

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    You don't even know how I interpret it. You foolishly try to accuse me of interpreting it the way preterists do. I don't. I'm not a preterist. So, your comments about me are trash and misrepresent my view. I think there is exactly one Amil that I've seen who interprets it in a literal, futurist...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    The day of the Lord is a global event involving global destruction (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3, 2 Peter 3:10-12). It will affect the entire earth. Zechariah 14 describes things only related to the area in and around Jerusalem. What is described in Zechariah 14 does not match what is described in 1...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    I disagree that there's any direct connection between the parable that Jesus told in Matthew 22:1-13 and Revelation 19:11-21. The armies referenced in Matthew 22:7 refer to the actual armies who destroyed Jerusalem, which were the Roman armies. Revelation 19 does not refer to the Roman armies...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Looking at it this way, that would mean nothing in the Bible is for us today. The book of John was address to certain people of that time, so does that mean John 3:16 no longer applies today? Think about what you're saying here. What Paul taught in his letters was not intended for his audience...

    Will a Third Temple Be Rebuilt?

    That is meaningless. They do not desire to worship and praise the one true God. If they did they would believe in Jesus. You are just not getting it. John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe...

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    You need to interpret the scriptures in a way that doesn't contradict other scriptures like what I showed. But, just do what you want. I've shown you the scriptures and now you have to decide if you want to have a doctrine based on all of scripture of just certain cherry picked scriptures that...

    Will a Third Temple Be Rebuilt?

    How can Jews who reject Christ, and therefore reject God the Father as well, dedicate a temple to the one true God when they don't believe in Him? John 5:23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. John...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    It's not fair to group people who believe in a third coming of Christ in the future (which is the same coming that we non-preterists believe is the second coming) in with full preterists who do not believe in a future coming of Christ. Partial preterism is not the same as full preterism.

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    If we are saved by grace through faith and not by good works, as Paul taught, then how can we lose salvation by bad works/sins? It would have to be by way of losing our faith, right? Since that's how we become saved in the first place. That's what seems to be described in passages like Hebrews...

    Christ has already returned ?

    Why not? Paul describes the bride of Christ in Ephesians 5:22-32 and he said it is the church. You believe you're part of the church, don't you?

    Christ has already returned ?

    That's all I was asking was if you have considered it. Thanks for answering the question. That isn't necessarily the case. Jesus knew that most likely all of His disciples would die before He came again in glory (many believe they were all martyred, which is very possible), but He wanted to...

    Christ has already returned ?

    You're saying you believe He came and got His bride in 70 AD and then immediately went back to heaven with His bride? Don't you believe that those who are Christians now are part of His bride?

    Christ has already returned ?

    Calm down there. I'm trying to have a reasonable discussion with you and I'm not judging you, okay? I'm just asking if you've considered the possibility that Jesus could have been talking about His transfiguration in Matthew 16:28 or not. So, have you?

    Christ has already returned ?

    So, where do you think He is now? Still on the earth somewhere? Or do you think He went back to heaven again after that? If so, when?

    Judgement Seat of Christ for who ?

    I've never talked to you about this before, so why are you acting as if you and I have talked about this topic before? Can you address what I said about what Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8-10 and Romans 4:1-8? Can you not see that the good works are prepared for us AFTER we have been saved by...
