    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Isaiah 11:10 is quoted by Paul in relation to Gentiles being saved during this New Testament time period in Romans 15:12. You just completely ignore that. And Isaiah 65:17-25 is in relation to the new heavens and new earth. There is no basis for relating the new heavens and new earth to "a...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Well, you called pre-trib "goofy" and I wouldn't be surprised if some pre-tribs are offended by that (not that they should be). Anyway, I appreciate your efforts to calm people down. You may not believe that I'm being sincere about that, but I am.

    Rapture ... soon?

    You seem to not want to make any effort to clarify what you believe for some reason. When someone questions you on something you act like we're being stupid for not having a clear understanding of what you believe. What is up with that? There's nothing wrong with us trying to get clarification...

    Rapture ... soon?

    What kind of response is this? I believe I do know what those terms mean. I wasn't asking you those questions to find out what the Word of God says as if I need you to teach me. I was asking you what you think they mean in order to see what your understanding of those terms is.

    Rapture ... soon?

    He asked you first, so you should answer the question first. That's how discussions work. Does this response you gave mean you don't know who those angels are and where they are located? If so, just say so. Maybe you just haven't considered that passage before. That's fine. But, imagine if every...

    Rapture ... soon?

    This was your response to me asking you these questions: "What do you mean by this exactly? How do you define "powers of darkness" and "evil spirits"? Do you believe evil spirits are evil spirit beings who try to influence and deceive the hearts and minds of humans?". How does your response...

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    I'm sorry, but you make very little sense. You say "symbolism serves no purpose" even though prophetic books like Ezekiel, Daniel, Isaiah, Zechariah and Revelation undeniably contain a good amount of symbolism? Do you think those books serve no purpose just because they contain a lot of symbolism?

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    Say what now? Scripture clearly refers to 2 different advents of Christ. There are no assumptions about that. But, it nowhere refers to two different sets of 70 weeks.

    70th Week and Day of the Lord are separate events.

    First of all, watch your language. This is a Christian forum. Second of all, I do not believe that Israel (the nation of Israel) was replaced by the Church. They are separate entities. Replacement Theology is a false label that dispensationalists try to put on people like me and it's not...

    Rapture ... soon?

    What do you mean by this exactly? How do you define "powers of darkness" and "evil spirits"? Do you believe evil spirits are evil spirit beings who try to influence and deceive the hearts and minds of humans?

    Rapture ... soon?

    I know you're talking about me since I'm the only other one besides WPM talking to him. Tell me exactly how I'm slandering him. Be specific. Are you somehow not aware that TS has thrown out MANY insults in his posts on this forum? Yet, you are quick to defend him while accusing me of slandering...

    Rapture ... soon?

    No, you did not, but nice insult there. You're implying that I can't understand something even a small child could understand. Why the insult? You don't need to be offended that I didn't understand what you said. Why can't you just be gracious enough to clarify what you were saying instead of...

    Rapture ... soon?

    Looks like you have taken a break from trying to symbolize or spiritualize all of scripture and have decided to be hyperliteral instead in this case. Understanding context is definitely not your strong suit. How about you explain to me how exactly a baby can sin. This should be good. You...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Why do you assume it's talking about buying and selling physical merchandise? Are you somehow not aware that having the mark of the beast and worshiping the beast (as those with the mark all do) means someone is not saved and does not have their name written in the book of life (Rev 13:8) and...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    You are blatantly contradicting what Paul said. He should there would be a mass faling away and the revealing of the man of sin FIRST before Jesus comes and we are gathered to Him. Paul equated the day of the Lord with the second coming of Christ when we are gathered to Him. It's a literal day...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    In another post of yours you said there would be "many Jewish converts and likely millions of new believers coming to faith after the Rapture". How could that happen without the Holy Spirit being present on the earth and with evil on earth being unrestrained? That makes no sense. You say a lot...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Why are you talking about mass conversion during a time of great tribulation just before Jesus returns when both Jesus and Paul said there would be mass apostasy and a significant increase in deception and wickedness before He returns (Matt 24:10-13, 2 Thess 2:3-12)? And why would Jesus say...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    And, yet, you do nothing to "unpack the 10 virgin parable" yourself and you do nothing to show how "Jesus analogy of Noah, and Lot" supports your doctrine. So, apparently, you cannot do what you say post-tribs cannot do. At least, you haven't so far. How about you show us how you do that instead...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    It's not a problem for Amillennialists at all. Why do you say that? Are you somehow unaware that Paul quoted Isaiah 11:10 in the following passage and applied it to the salvation of the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, which obviously began already long ago? Romans 15:7 Therefore receive one...

    LEFT BEHIND ... what to do?

    Right. How can salvation be dependent on taking a physical mark or not when salvation is spiritual and requires faith and repentance, not performing any physical act or avoiding performing any certain physical act? It's clear to me that the mark of the beast is not physical, but is the spiritual...
