    What were the disciples asking when they inquired about “what will be the sign of your coming”?

    It's offensive to me when someone twists God's word to make it say what they want it to say. The context of Luke 12:38 is clearly in relation to ONE return of Christ that will be unexpected and will be His return from making wedding preparations for His bride (us). Scripture says He will come...

    Four questions makes me a robot

    LOL! You talk about ChatGPT like it's a real person. Your obsession with ChatGPT is very strange. As you know, all it does is return information that it finds on the Internet that may or may not be accurate, so for you to say "ChatGPT is the only one looking at these things objectively" is a big...

    What were the disciples asking when they inquired about “what will be the sign of your coming”?

    No, you're not. The context of Luke 12:36-40, which verse 38 is obviously part of, is in relation to ONE coming of Christ that He describes as returning from wedding preparations unexpectedly at an hour no one knows at which point He will bless those who were expecting Him. In no way, shape or...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Use scripture to show how it's possible that two individuals could be called two olive trees and two candlesticks. I'm supposed to believe that two candlesticks represent two individuals despite another verse in the same book saying this... Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which...

    Should the Gospel of John be removed from the Bible?

    The NIV very clearly teaches the diety of Jesus Christ, so what in the world are you talking about? These all are from the NIV: Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God...

    Interesting preterist argument

    It really isn't, though. But, we think very differently, obviously. There shouldn't be anything hard about understanding that the "little while" refers to the duration of God's wrath, just as Isaiah 26:20 indicates. I believe I have been very specific about the problem I see with your...

    PRETRIB RAPTURE ANCIENT ROOTS

    Because of what you said about Revelation 7:9. You said "Them in Revelation 7:9, the great multitude, are great tribulation saints who die during the great tribulation time frame.". It says that no one can count that great multitude and you are saying they "are great tribulation saints who die...

    The "watch rapture view"

    LOL. I have nothing to learn from you. Absolutely nothing. I know the spiritual significance of those events. You don't need to tell me that. But, the problem is you don't know the spiritual significance of the literal, physical event that happened in 70 AD. God showed that He will punish...

    The "watch rapture view"

    I wonder how that could be the case when it's said to be the time when the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of God the Father and the Son and that it's then time to destroy those who destroy the earth and time to judge the dead and reward believers at the seventh trumpet (Revelation...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    You are making that up from your imagination. Why don't you use scripture to interpret scripture? Other scripture, like Revelation 1:20, defines candlesticks as churches. And, in Romans 11, the two olive trees represent the good olive tree and the wild olive tree (Gentiles) with branches of the...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    I think you have seen The Terminator movies too many times or something. Do you understand that having the mark of the beast means you will end up in the lake of fire (Revelation 14:9-11)? Do you understand that having the mark of the beast and worshiping the beast or not is a matter of...

    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    It's not as if your approach is any better. You have no explanation for what it means when the two witnesses are referred to as two candlesticks (lampstands) and two olive trees (Revelation 11:4). That is not a description of two individuals. Also, assuming that the time periods given within the...

    PRETRIB RAPTURE ANCIENT ROOTS

    Do you really think that a number of people that no one can count will be saved during a future "great tribulation time frame"? How does that line up with 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 where Paul talks about unrestrained wickedness and mass apostasy occurring during the time just before Jesus returns...

    The "watch rapture view"

    Yes. But, I don't take the descriptions of them all literally the way you do, either. So, you have all of them being poured out on the day He returns? Do you think they will all be poured out in rapid succession? Before the other six vials? Why? That is what you are saying, but why are you...

    Will Christ utter new words in a Premil millennium?

    All people are expected to believe that God exists and is Who He says He is (Romans 1:18-21). So, why is it that some do not believe He exists and/or do not believe Who He says He is? It's because they choose to not believe that. It isn't that they are not capable of believing that or else...

    Will Christ utter new words in a Premil millennium?

    You are not. You never are willing to admit what your beliefs imply. You believe that man has no ability, in and of himself, to decide to repent and believe because you believe that all people are born totally depraved. You believe that man can only repent and believe if God gives him repentance...

    What were the disciples asking when they inquired about “what will be the sign of your coming”?

    Wrong. It can mean "or", so stop acting as if you are the Ultimate Authority on the Greek language. You are not. You do not understand Greek better than the translators did. The word "kai" can mean "and also..." which is basically the same thing as saying "or" when used in conjunction with the...

    Interesting preterist argument

    Your understanding of grammar is terribly flawed. You do everything you can to deny the obvious, which is that "the little while" reference is taken directly from Isaiah 26:20 and refers to the time of God's wrath and not to the time remaining until Jesus comes. Once He does come, He will not...

    The "watch rapture view"

    I believe the seventh vial is poured out the day Jesus returns and it is parallel to the seventh seal and seventh trumpet. Notice how the seventh trumpet signals the time when God "shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth" (Revelation 11:18). Jesus will destroy the earth on the day He...

    The "watch rapture view"

    I think you misunderstand almost everything. Yes, it is. You try to turn simple things into a convoluted mess and it makes me feel sorry for you. Nope. Ridiculous interpretation. LOL. This is just ludicrous. You have clearly decided that you are not on to take seriously, so I won't take you...
