I am. That's why I'm interpreting it correctly and you are not. The context is in relation to the forgiveness of sins which is an obvious reference to the salvation of souls. Romans 11:26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn...

I will not acknowledge your false teaching.

He clearly has no understanding whatsoever of who Jesus is. Sad.

So, in your estimation I guess you would say that God has never ruled over the earth, or at least hasn't since Adam and Eve sinned?

Have you never read this: Luke 23:26 Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus. 27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned...

That is no mistake. Paul speaks of salvation there in direct relation to the forgiveness of sins, so he clearly is talking about the salvation of souls there and none of your nonsense can change that. Romans 11:26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out...

That is exactly what I have done. But, you try to turn something simple into something convoluted, as you tend to do at times. You cannot get around what is described in 2 Peter 3:10-12 no matter how hard you try. And, yes, you will try. And fail. Boy.

Correct. And that is because tares are defined as the children of the devil and other scripture defines children of the devil as lost sinners, which we all were before being saved. Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the...

Jesus defined the wheat as the children of the kingdom of heaven and the tares as the children of the devil (Matthew 13:38-39). All believers are children of the kingdom and all unbelievers (unrepentant sinners) are children of the devil (1 John 3:8-10). God's determination of who are the...

We're talking about the physical destruction of all of God's enemies here. That verse has nothing to do with the day of the Lord when Jesus comes as a thief to take vengeance on all unbelievers (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10). Right. Obviously. It will bring "sudden destruction" upon ALL who are in...

Yes, you are saying that whether you realize it or not. God sent Him to turn all of Jacob from their wicked ways and that's what He did. He did His part. Each person must choose to turn from their wicked ways or not. That's their responsibility. If someone refuses to turn from their wicked ways...

Exactly. Premils focus on the fact that not all of His enemies have yet been put under Him while completely ignoring the scriptures which teach that all CURRENT things are under Him. Hebrews 2:8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that He put all in subjection under...

Haha. This should be fun. I agree. It's about people thinking they are spiritually at peace and safe from God's wrath. Nowhere does Paul say anything about the state of the world in 1 Thessalonians 5. Instead, he talks about the spiritual status of individuals. All people are either in...

Exactly. There is no basis whatsoever for separating 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 from 1 Thessalonians 5:2-9 as if those are referring to different events. Notice in 1 Thessalonians 5:4 that it says "But, ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief". That implies...

No, what is unknown is any scripture which teaches that "the resurrection/rapture event" occurs before "the great tribulation begins".

Where does that passage say that we will be taken off of the earth years before that day comes? Nowhere. We will be taken off of the earth right before His wrath comes down on that day.

What are you talking about? Who said anything about us being judged by God's wrath? We are going to escape His wrath on the day of the Lord which will come unexpectedly when Jesus returns and will bring "sudden destruction" upon those in spiritual darkness from which "they shall not escape"...

It does not say He would force anyone to repent. He did what was necessary to provide the opportunity for redemption for their sins through repentance. They are all responsible to decide to accept what He did for them or not. You are denying what Acts 3:24-26 clearly says. Acts 3:24 “Indeed...

A "free will" inclination that someone cannot possibly overcome to make any other "choice" but to not repent and believe? Your definition of "free will" makes no sense at all because "free will" implies that a person is fully capable of making a choice between at least two options. In your view...

So, you believe everyone has a legit opportunity to repent and continue living their lives physically, but you don't think everyone has the opportunity to repent unto salvation. It's interesting how you don't bother to clarify what you mean. Why would God only care about people repenting just so...
