What different time exactly? Who do you think are the goats that are gathered and judged when Jesus comes with His angels (Matthew 25:31-46)? Same as the tares?

No, not in my Amil view, at least. I don't want to speak for all Amils on this, especially since some Amills are partial preterists who might think this parable relates to 70 AD like you do. To make things more simple, I'm going to just refer to people as either saved or unsaved instead of...

You saw that I said "the world/age", right? And I did reference Matthew 24:3 in that post. The Greek word is aion. It's a word that describes time rather than a place. So, look at this... Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell...

I'm not taking a "spiritual meaning" to it. Good grief, man. Please grow up. It can, even as written, be seen as two or three questions. We agree that His second coming and the end of the age occur at the same time, right? So, with that being the case, I don't think it really matters if we see...

Do you remember when that was? Just curious. I think I vaguely remember it but couldn't recall if that was you or David or even if it was on this forum or not. Yes, but I don't think that's a significant point (just being honest) because He did refer to what at the time He was speaking was the...

Why should I bother when you don't accept it when I show you what Hebrews 8:6-7 means? You think "was established" means "will be established". How can I reason with such a person as you? Seems impossible. Tell me, when Joel 2:28 says that the Holy Spirit would be poured out on all people is it...

Your reading comprehension skills are utterly horrible. I said no such thing. What I actually did say is that a person doesn't have to be a Catholic to know what Catholicism is about. Have you lost your mind? You're speaking complete gibberish. Give me quotes because I don't know what you're...

You must not be reading my posts. It was the point in time when Jesus died on the cross. Is there anything hard to understand about this? You clearly don't even know what the veil of the temple tearing in two represented. It represented the first/old covenant being made obsolete with the better...

Hold on now. We can't decide what Greek words can mean this way. No Greek lexicon gives only one definition of that word. It is a fact that the Greek word lyō has more than one definition. The context of 2 Peter 3:10-12 is completely different than the other verses that use the word, none of...

Where do you see even a hint of such a thing described in 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3? Why would Paul warn people who were not living in Israel to be prepared for coming destruction that was going to come upon people in Israel? That makes no sense whatsoever. The context of that passage is in...

Why not just accept what Jesus indicated instead of going to Daniel and other verses to try to find a way to deny what Jesus explicitly indicated? Jesus spoke of the kingdom of heaven and kingdom of God in the exact same context and made no differentiation between the two, so there is no reason...

I just revisited this post because I didn't think it made sense when I read it before, but I ended up getting sidetracked by something else and didn't respond to it. First of all, can you please stop with the accusations against me that I supposedly think I have all the answers and have a way...

Yes, I agree. This is not easy to discern because of how the local event in Judea and Jerusalem has similarities to the future global event that will occur when Jesus returns. In the local event, the whole city of Jerusalem was destroyed, leaving no stone left upon another. In the future global...

I don't recall talking to you about these things. Have we talked about those particular things before? If so, it wasn't recently. As for "the holy place", have you ever seen what I've said to David about that? The temple standing at that time was still the holy place at the time Jesus was...

Why not, though? Why would He not answer that question at all, knowing how significant the temple was to the Jews, including His disciples? And, knowing how shocking it must have been for the disciples to hear Him say that the temple buildings that they admired so much would be destroyed. If...

Actually, I didn't word that right and the person corrected me on that. They were not officially a JW, but used to interact with JWs and listened to their teachings and so on for years, but they did not get baptized as part of their organization in order to officially become a JW. That wasn't...

There is no "Day of the Lord time period". You try to include the days that lead up to the day of the Lord as part of the day of the Lord. You think 1 Thessalonians 5:3 is referring to a time period? How does "SUDDEN destruction" refer to a time period? Please explain that.

Matthew 19:23 Matthew 19:23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” Notice...

In the context of what Jesus was talking about there, it was in terms of the number of people who are saved, which is relatively but not literaly "few" and the number who are lost, which is more than "few", relatively speaking. The number of saved is not literally "few" since they are referred...

I think it does matter because if the servants are angels, as I believe they clearly are, then that means the parable is about a time when the angels will come to separate the saved from the lost, which scripture teaches will occur when Jesus comes in the future (Matthew 25:31-46). What...
