Why don't you tell me exactly how that scripture should be interpreted then? I certainly would never just take your word for it. Break 2 Peter 3:3-13 for me and tell me how you can reconcile what is written there with your view. Acts 1 certainly says no such thing. Him coming back in like...

The text indicates that Babylon influences all nations and therefore literally the entire world. Jerusalem never had that kind of influence. Your view of the beast and Babylon is too narrow. Literally all whose names are not written in the book of life worship the beast (Rev 13:8). How can that...

What evidence do you have to back that up? You understand that if two passages don't contain all the same details it doesn't mean they are not related to the same event, right? That's how you can conclude that Matthew 24:30-31 and Revelation 19:11-21 refer to the same event (Jesus's return). So...

How many of the weeks do you think run parallel? There are 7 weeks, 62 weeks and one other week mentioned in Daniel 9:25-27. That adds up to 70 weeks. How does the prophecy add up to 70 weeks in your view? You're not making any sense. How can you acknowledge that only Jesus could fulfill verse...

Look at how Jesus addressed unbelieving Jews in Matthew 23. Why would you think that God would make any promises to unbelieving Jews, knowing how much disdain He has for their behavior (called them hypocrites and snakes, etc.)? He ended up destroying them and their city in 70 AD. You think God...

Do you think my criticisms are valid or not? Can you please address what I said first before I address your request?

Doug, why are you unable to see the point I'm making there? Actually, I am certain you are able to see the point, but you're either not acknowledging it or you're not even trying to see it. I am clearly not trying to claim that you are wrong about Revelation 19:11-21 and Matthew 24:30-31 each...

Did you not say before that the 70 week prophecy is not about Christ at all? And now you are acknowledging that it is? You need to rethink Daniel 9:24-27 entirely because you're continually contradicting yourself. You also need to stop believing the nonsense that the 7 weeks are parallel to some...

Yes, that was a typo. But, you're being intellectually dishonest here. Read the verse again. Revelation 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest IS that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. What is "that great city"? It's Babylon the Great. That is undeniable. Revelation 18:10...

Wrong. The whore is Mystery, Babylon the Great. They are one and the same. Babylon is referred to as both a whore (woman) and a great city. That's why it says "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" on her forehead. That identifies who she is. It calls...

Would you say that Jew was unlucky to not live during the time during which you believe all Jews will be saved?

He did no such thing. You have a serious reading comprehension problem. He pointed out that statement was incorrect immediately after that by saying "but this is quite incorrect". All he was doing there was showing how premils understand Revelation 19 and 20 and then saying that their...

That's exactly what is indicated in this passage, but go ahead and keep denying what is taught in this passage if you insist: 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with...

You are just not getting it, Marty. If you think the things that are written in Daniel 9:24 were not fulfilled in Christ, then that would mean the 70 weeks have not yet been fulfilled. It clearly says that 70 weeks were given for those things to be fulfilled. So, why don't you think they are...

Nope. That person would just be unlucky to not live during the time when God will force salvation upon all of the Jews, according to dispensationalism. I agree. But, what many don't understand is that even those Israelites who were blinded and broken off in Paul's day later were given the...

You are talking as if all Jews were broken off from the kingdom of God, but that is not the case. Read Romans 11 more carefully so that you stop missing the context. Paul made it clear that there was a remnant of saved Israelites in his day (Rom 11:5) and also that those who were broken off...

LOL. How exactly will the elect be gathered from the atmosphere? You are willing to do anything to make scripture say what you want it to say. It clearly indicates that the elect will be gathered from both earth and heaven. The elect gathered from heaven will be the souls of the dead in Christ...

You are the last person who should be trying to tell someone else that they could not present their case. The next coherent argument you make that clearly explains your beliefs will be the first one.

You have said before that you believe Revelation 19:11-21 is the same event as Matthew 24:30-31. But, there is no mention of the angels gathering the elect in Revelation 19:11-21. So, does that mean you are wrong that those two passages are about the same event since one passage has details that...

Agree. Paul very clearly taught that Gentile believers are fellow heirs of God's promises with Jewish believers, but it seems that Douggg doesn't want to accept that for some reason. Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the...
