Did you not read the passage that I referenced? Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise...

And that somehow means there will be a 1,000 year reign in the future? No. That's quite a stretch. Premils have no clear scripture to support their doctrine, so they have to resort to nonsense like this instead.

No, it denies the false interpretations of the words of God made by Premillennialism. Where do you see a literal 1,000 year reign taught in Genesis?

No, He did not. Why do you ask? Did you read Matthew 24:32-33? That is the scripture being discussed. The context is in relation to knowing when Jesus's return is near. Matthew 24:32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know...

Where do you see this taught in scripture? Where do you see this taught in scripture?

That's interesting. But, what I'm asking is whether or not the early church fathers wrote about what they believe in terms of the timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation (whatever their view of "the tribulation" might have been) as far as whether they said it would be post-trib?

They were never blinded permanently. Paul talked about saving some of the Israelites who were blinded in his day (Romans 11:7-14).

In my opinion that wasn't even worth two cents. All Jesus is doing in Matthew 24:32-33 is comparing the nearness of His return in relation to when "all these things" happen to how we know summer is near when a fig tree's leaves start to grow. That's it. There is no basis whatsoever for reading...

I know he probably hasn't done nearly as much research as you have. In what you've read, what did most of the early church fathers teach as it relates to the timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation that occurs before Jesus returns (whatever their understanding of "the tribulation"...

So, what do you think is the reason he misrepresents Amillennialism so often then?

What are you talking about? Yes. So? Scripture does not teach that we can't know if someone else is a Christian or not. Jesus said you know them by their fruits. Do you think He was just making that up? Do you think someone can be a Christian who denies His deity and claims that one's physical...

No, I don't have Satan deceiving the nations while he is imprisoned, either. No one does. That would obviously contradict what it says in Revelation 20 when it indicates that he is bound from deceiving the nations during the thousand years. David misrepresented my view (the Amill view that you...

Did you not read my post where I already addressed this? The phrase "no more" does not mean it's talking about Satan's general ability to deceive, as you believe. What it means for him to "deceive the nations" is debatable. Based on how I understand it, I believe he does it "no more" during the...

What are we playing, scripture tag? You don't think you need to address what He said in Matthew 24:42-44 where He told believers that they do not know the day or hour, but need to be ready for it? Do you accept what He said there or not? Those who are not watching will experience His wrath...

Of course you don't. So, what do you call it then when you won't address part of a passage? You do agree that the following verses refer to the same event as verses 21 and 22, right? Isaiah 24:19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly...

It's very ironic for a madman like you to accuse the Amill doctrine of being "a theory of a madman". Foolish madmen like you try to accuse Amills of supposedly making literal texts symbolic. Amillennialism is founded on literal scripture, so these accusations are foolish and inappropriate...

Yes, I see that a post of yours from about 4 years ago was replied to for some reason. But, in that post you said "There will be a literal thousand year reign of Christ on earth.". I'm trying to show you that is not true because it contradicts passages like 2 Peter 3:10-12. I'm an Amillennialist.

Yep. So, as long as our frameworks differ, we will never agree on this. So, what's the point of continuing to discuss it then? There is none. You are comparing a gathering by angels to human servants preaching the gospel. It's an invalid comparison. Matthew 24:29-31 is the same event as 1...

Jesus did not say that we would ever know the hour of His coming until He actually comes. Here is Jesus talking to believers: Matthew 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would...

Zechariah 14 is an undeniably difficult passage to interpret. You are not able to explain several things that are written about in the passage, so what do you think you're proving here? Do you not have any clear, straightforward scripture at all to support your doctrine? If so, where is it? Why...
