Or maybe you are not being careful enough to be clear about what you're intending to say? Yeah, I think so. So, just as there is documentation about the events that happened in Judea and in Jerusalem around 70 AD, I would expect that someone would have written about seeing Jesus come back in 70...

You need to make up your mind about what you believe. In another post you are saying you now believe that evil has always existed, but here you are saying that you believe it came about "through the providence and power of God", which implies that God created evil rather than it having always...

So, you have now decided that there is no evil spirit being named Satan at all? Previously, you acknowledge his existence, but just denied that he was formerly one of God's angels who fell. Do you believe in the existence of angels at all at this point? If so, why do you give likes to posts...

I'm just going by things he has said. He has said that he believes in the existence of angels, including Satan and evil spirits (demons). But, his continual likes of TS's posts where TS includes his denial of the existence of angels, including Satan and his demons, makes me wonder if he has...

According to Peter the destruction that will occur because of God's wrath on the day of the Lord will be global and will result in the burning up of the earth, so your understanding of the 7 vials is flawed. Where does it say that all 7 vials occur during the day of the Lord? Nowhere. 2 Peter...

Agree. But, in fairness to rwb, he doesn't deny the existence of evil spirits/demons like TS does. He claims that that they are not fallen angels (were not formerly God's angels) and were created to be evil. That is also false, but I thought I should mention that what you're talking about in...

LOL. So, Jesus returned bodily only to not be seen by anyone? And you expect me to believe that? Why would He have done that? Scripture says that He will come back in like manner as He was seen ascending to heaven (Acts 1:9-11). So, that means when He comes back from heaven He will be seen. But...

So, you can't help it that you made a blanket statement about "the OT scriptures - Law of Moses, psalms, AND PROPHETS" without making it clear that you were only intending to make that statement about Zechariah 14?

This didn't answer my question. You are clearly just making claims about what most scientists believe without doing any research on that. So what? Is that not allowed in your world? You didn't have to butt in when I was doing that. Just ignore it if you think it's not worth the time to do that...

You didn't address what I said. I'm not saying this is the case, but you come across as if you didn't believe in spiritual things that are unseen and you only believe in things that you can physically see. We are spiritually in the kingdom of God/heaven/Christ right now. When Jesus returns, we...

You have that completely mixed up. Jesus can't return 4 years after the day of the Lord begins when both Paul, in 1 Thess 5:2-3, and Peter, in 2 Peter 3:10-12, talk about mass destruction happening immediately upon the arrival of the day of the Lord like a thief in the night. Unbelievers will be...

Then why are you talking about some Antichrist doing something totally unexpected in relation to the day of the Lord when there is nothing written in scripture about that? The day of the Lord is the day that the Lord Jesus will come as a thief in the night. You might notice that He brings some...

You are sadly mistaken. If the kingdom is within us, then how can we not have entered it yet? The kingdom of heaven, kingdom of God, and kingdom of Christ are all the same kingdom and we are in the kingdom now. Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be...

You need to read 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3. What will be "totally unexpected" is the "sudden destruction" that will come upon those in spiritual darkness from which "they shall not escape" when Jesus comes as a thief in the night. There is nothing written anywhere about a supposed Antichrist...

No, exactly the same. Two ways of referring to the same kingdom. It's not as if Jesus was saying it's hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven and also hard for a rich man to enter the separate kingdom of God. The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are just two ways of referring...

How could that happen if a bunch of literal major physical catastrophes are going on all over the world?

The kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God are the same kingdom, so there's no reason to differentiate between them the way you are doing. Notice in the following passage how Jesus uses the terms "the kingdom of heaven" and "the kingdom of God" interchangeably in reference to the same kingdom...

If that's all meant to be taken literally then why does Paul talk about unbelievers saying "peace and safety" just before Jesus comes again (1 Thess 5:2-3) and why does Jesus talk about people being oblivious to the wrath He will bring down on them when He comes again as He did when He talked...

Right. It's not a literal, physical mark just as the seal of God is not a literal, physical seal, but represents the seal of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 4:30). I see the mark of the beast as basically the spiritual opposite of the seal of God. Someone having the mark of the beast...

That passage does not support pretrib in any way, shape or form. Pretrib doesn't see the end occurring when Jesus comes which is when the dead in Christ are resurrected and when Jesus will deliver the kingdom to God to God thee Father. Pretrib has the rapture occurring 7 years before that.
