The souls of the dead in Christ. They will come with Jesus at His second coming, unite with their resurrected, changed bodies and be caught up together with those who are alive and remain to meet Jesus in the air. Where did I say anything to indicate that I don't believe the soul and spirit of...

I didn't say that at all. What did I say to lead you to ask that ridiculous question?

So, you think of yourself as being the ultimate authority on what Calvinism teaches then? I'm not misrepresenting it. Period. You can't prove otherwise. If what I say doesn't apply to some of what you believe, then you must have your own brand of Calvinism separate from what Calvinists typically...

He sure makes a lot of claims while offering no evidence to support them, doesn't he? It's impossible to take him seriously.

No, I do not assert that. Remember, they wrote what God inspired them to write, so their writings are reflection of what God wanted to reveal at the time rather than necessarily reflecting everything they knew at the time. God purposely made some things obscure in the Old Testament that were...

Absolutely. The truth is just too simple for Premillennialists (especially dispensationalists). They just can't bring themselves to believe that it's as simple as we Amills claim it is. But, why wouldn't it be? Why would God do things in such a way that it's very difficult to even explain it...

So, does this response imply that you do base your belief in animal sacrifices partly on Ezekiel 45:15-17? If so, why? What other sacrifice is needed or ever will be need for reconciliation with God besides Christ's "once for all" sacrifice?

I am rolling my eyes so hard to the point where they are almost popping out of my head. You make everything far more complicated than it is. But, I can't do anything about that, obviously. Can you just do one simple thing for me and tell me which scriptures, or least one or two scriptures...

What in the world is causing you to equate the words "no, nor shall ever be" with the scope or greatness level of the tribulation He was talking about in terms of whether He was talking about a local, regional or global tribulation event? Only doctrinal bias could lead you to that conclusion. He...

You have exposed your lack of reading comprehension skills once again. While I disagree with his interpretation, I can at least recognize that he is NOT suggesting "that the holy place Jesus referred to no longer exists today". Instead, he is suggesting that the holy place refers to the church...

Yet, you claim that Matthew 24:21 and Daniel 12:1 have to be referring to the same event because of the similar wording used in those verses. So, why are you not consistent in your approach to interpreting scripture? Why can't you just admit that you are very selective in the type of approach...

I'm not going to bother even reading the rest of your post because anyone who makes a claim like this can't be taken seriously. You think, after Jesus telling them that the temple buildings standing at that time would be destroyed, the disciples asked Him this.... Luke 21:7 “Teacher,” they...

He was only talking about their bodies being asleep/dead. You need to differentiate between the body, soul and spirit. Paul also taught that to be absent or away from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:6-8), so how do you reconcile your belief with that? 2 Corinthians 5:6...

When did I say He didn't? Nowhere. I just said that Luke 16:19-31 isn't a parable. Do you think it is? His parables were fictional stories that He told to teach truth about reality. But, Luke 16:19-31 He refers to real people and places, so it's not a parable. What are you even talking about...

Yes, according to Paul. But, I have noticed that many people here do not accept at least some of what Paul taught. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's...

@KUWN, Jesus is God and to say He "rose again" is accurate because it means He was resurrected again to life after being dead. So, the changes you made to my statement were completely unnecessary and pointless.

So, you believe in two times when the dead will be judged then? At the seventh trumpet and 1,000+ years later?

Obviously. You're missing the point and...so be it. Not worth trying to spell it out any further. The earth itself was changed significantly (do some research if you don't think so), which is my point about what will happen when God renews the earth by fire. It won't be a completely different...

If it's an act of volition, doesn't that mean they could have chosen to not exchange the truth for a lie instead? I believe so, but that isn't what Calvinism teaches. I believe Calvinism gives them an excuse because it says that they are not capable of doing anything else but exchanging the...

Do you not know that God created the heavens and the earth? Do you not know that Jesus died and rose again? Is it arrogant to say that you know those things? Do we not know what we know as Christians without having to apologize for it?
