    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    LOL. There is no bias. I interpret Revelation in light of other scripture and you interpret it in isolation from other scripture, resulting in you interpreting it in such a way that contradicts other scripture. You acknowledge that it never says we should interpret it in the order you think it...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    What does that even mean? Do you think all scripture is plainly stated? You just don't get it. Let me remind you of what you said in the original post: So, your argument here against a post-trib rapture is that it can't be possible if all believers are raptured at the second coming and all...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Goodness gracious. When you create a thread making claims you need to be prepared to answer challenges to your claims. You clearly are completely unprepared to do so. This thread is your attempt to refute a belief in a post-trib rapture. I'm showing you how scripture does teach a post-trib...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Stop being a child. You are the one trying to duck out. I'm showing you how your interpretation of one passage contradicts other passages and you are not willing to honestly address that. I'm not playing scripture against scripture, I'm showing you how you are pitting one scripture against...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Quoting my comment without context is very childish. You clearly have no interest in being honest and responding to challenges to your view. You make these arguments about plainly stated scripture, then you're shown other plainly stated scripture which contradicts your interpretation of the...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    What else does "a time is coming..." mean? He didn't say two times are coming when the dead will be raised, right? Well, none of us believe that all of the dead will be resurrected at the exact same moment in time, so how do you interpret what He said? Does your view not turn it into multiple...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    No, it absolutely is not inconsistent at all. He is going to literally come, but His coming and events related to it are sometimes described figuratively. What is wrong with that? For example, in Revelation 19:11-21 it's talking about His literal future second coming, but it describes it...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    LOL! So, was my question too difficult for you to answer then? I'll have to assume so since you didn't answer it. I'm not ridiculing anyone or anything. I asked you a question which you did not bother to even attempt to answer. Why not? This "plainly stated" argument you're trying to make...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    So, is this not narrative prophecy? John 5:28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. Jesus said that...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Please explain to me in detail how everyone in the world could all literally fit into the valley of Jehoshaphat. I look forward to your detailed explanation. Do you believe this plainly stated scripture? Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    I asked you to name one scripture that Amil contradicts first. You expect me to answer your question before you answer mine? That's not how this works. LOL. Are you somehow missing that it references the resurrection of "they that have done good" as well? Jesus indicated that there is a...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Amils believe in a post-trib rapture. You seemed to only be aware of the post-trib premil view, so it became necessary to teach you that there are other views. Your original post really only addresses the post-trib, premil view. Amils like myself are showing how there can be a post-trib rapture...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    You are doing absolutely nothing to support your claims with scripture. You need to start doing that if you want to be taken seriously. How am I the one making assumptions about Matthew 25:31-46, when you are the one claiming that it's talking about something taking place on earth even though it...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Please read my post #218 where I quoted some plainly stated scripture passages which support Amil, but not Premil.

    The Orthodox Preterist versus the Heretical Dispensationalist

    We are responsible to willingly submit to the power of God. That is the part that you are leaving out. Your doctrine removes responsibility from man, which makes judgment day pointless. God doesn't keep us against our will. We must willingly submit to Him. We must continue to have faith in Him...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Where does it say that? You are clearly just making assumptions here and not proving anything. Scripture says we will meet Him in the air when He comes. Where does it say we are then taken to the earth? Where does Matthew 25:31-46 say anything about Him coming to the earth? It doesn't. Your...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Post #220 has no scripture in it. I asked for one scripture that Amil contradicts. Should I take this response to me that you have none? It seems to me that you like to make all kinds of claims, but you are incapable of backing them up with scripture.
  18. Spiritual Israelite

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    It looks literal to you? It looks to me that you use your own limited human wisdom to interpret scripture. Is that what scripture itself tells us to do? Have you ever read 1 Corinthians 2:9-16? Paul makes it clear there that we need to use spiritual discernment from the Holy Spirit to interpret...
  19. Spiritual Israelite

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    So? That gives you an excuse to make that claim about Amil without proving it so? This is weak to just make claims like this without backing it up. Back up your claims with scripture. The Bible does not teach Premillennialism, so it is you that needs to read your Bible. Ask God for wisdom when...

    One reason why the rapture can not be post-trib

    Oh, really? Let's put your claim to the test. Do you believe this? John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil...
