    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    I don't think he is capable of this. But, it would be nice if he at least tried. I think he knows if he tried it would expose his false teaching. So, he doesn't even try. No matter what we do, we can't get one single pretrib to exegete any scripture. That is quite telling.

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    What difference does that make as to how many times the word is translated as "great" compared to "many"? Most words have multiple definitions. Is that a hard concept for you to understand? The word is used a great number of times in scripture, so it's not reasonable for me to take the time to...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    Yes, it is. Do you not know, Doug, that Christians are the elect? Have you not read the New Testament? Here's Paul talking to Jew and Gentile believers in the church of the Colossians: Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    They have nothing but opinions. It's quite noticeable that they have no scripture to bring to the table that backs up their many wild claims. Any objective onlooker to this discussion has to be embarrassed for the pretribs and wondering why they are not waving the white flag of surrender by now...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    I showed you what it means for Satan to be bound and you have chosen to ignore it. You can't even bring yourself to specifically comment on the points that I made. Doug, did Jesus not indicate that he bound Satan long ago, as the following passage shows? Yes or no? Matthew 12:25 And Jesus...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    See, this is a case of you not being honest with scripture. Are you afraid to do that, Doug? Paul said "they shall not escape" the "sudden destruction". Why not? We can easily see why not from looking at how Peter described that destruction here: 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    Yes, and....? What does it mean for Jesus to spoil the strong man Satan's house? Premils like to quote 1 Peter 5:8, but they apparently ignore the verses which follow it. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    Oh, so, for any given verse or passage, we can't use other scripture to help us interpret it? We should interpret every verse in isolation from other scripture? That's your approach? No wonder you are so deceived.

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    He is obviously all talk. He acts confident in his view and, yet, he is too afraid to even attempt exegeting any scripture to back it up. Does he think people can't see through his act?

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    You don't accept what Jesus Himself said. That's on you. That is foolish. Matthew 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    You are very ignorant about scripture, as you prove with every post you make. Tell me, who does the "strong man" represent in the following passage, who is binding him and what does it mean for the strong man's house to be spoiled? Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    LOL. Now I know that there is no point in continuing this discussion. You obviously aren't even reading everything I'm saying. I said this about it: The absurdity of Pretrib logic Total doctrinally biased nonsense. Show me any other verse in scripture where the Greek word "zao" means to be...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    No, I don't mean that at all. I don't have those things, either. Understanding scripure has nothing to do with that, it has to do with spiritual discernment from the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:9-16). What I'm saying is because of your heretical belief of denying the deity of Christ, you have...

    Mortal flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

    Can you please address what I said in my original post relating to what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:50 which is that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God? What is your understanding of this verse which describes what will happen after Jesus comes with His angels: Matthew 25:34...

    Mortal flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

    In the future when Jesus returns at the last trumpet, the dead in Christ and those who are alive and remain will inherit the kingdom of God bodily after the dead in Christ are raised from the dead and we are all changed to have immortal bodies (1 Cor 15:50-54). Do you believe that? If so, what...

    2nd Peter 3:10

    Have you looked closely at what it says the purpose of the animal sacrifices performed at that temple would be? Ezekiel 45:15 Also one sheep is to be taken from every flock of two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. These will be used for the grain offerings, burnt offerings and...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    No, they are not. There is no scripture which teaches this. Jesus explicitly taught that the rapture will take place "immdiately after the tribulation of those days". Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light...

    Mystery Babylon is a CITY Per God's Word

    I appreciate your point of view and that you acknowledge that my approach is reasonable. I tell ya, just getting people to acknowledge that I'm making reasonable arguments, even if they disagree, is not easy. People tend to just immediately dismiss any arguments that disagree with their view...

    Blind Guides and Deluded Followers

    What would he have talked to them about and why? Nonsense. Look what believing in the false doctrine of soul sleep leads to....thinking that Jesus preached to fallen angels. The most nonsensical thing I've ever seen. Which one of us is believing the clearly unbiblical idea of Jesus preaching...

    The absurdity of Pretrib logic

    Do you ever dig deeper than the surface to try to determine what scripture is saying? The Hebrew word translated as "many" in Daniel 12:2 is raḇ and it does NOT mean "many, but not all". It simply refers to a large amount (a multitude, many), which may or may not refer to all of something. Here...
