You mean some, like me? ;) Sure, it is. Why not? Who are "they"? I certainly don't ignore the timing. Calling it a parable, which would imply that it's not representing an actual event and is instead a made up story that gives insight into a spiritual reality, would fit the idea of...

This is very disturbing. You do not believe that Moses was inspired by God when writing scripture? Jesus would tell you to trust Moses' interpretation of what God showed him. John 5:45 “But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. 46...

I wish I knew how you come up with the things you say that make no sense. Are you actually reading the text? Revelation 20:7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to...

I agree. As much as I disagree with the pre-trib rapture theory, I would never try to say that one's salvation is dependent on their beliefs regarding the timing of the rapture in relation to the tribulation (most people don't even agree on what "the tribulation" is). That's just going way too far.

What does this even mean? Why would the Holy Spirit ever tell me to disregard what is written? That is ridiculous. If I don't take the beast with seven heads and ten horns to be referencing a literal beast with seven literal heads and ten literal horns, am I disregarding what is written? Is the...

There's an easy solution for this. To not talk to each other anymore. I'm fine with that. Bye.

Do you not believe that God killed people with a flood? As for the command "thou shalt not kill", did God give Himself that command? No. If God kills someone He has the right to do that since He is God. It's up to Him if someone should die or not and not up to us. That is why murder is a sin...

What does this even mean? When there is apocalyptic text, hyperbole and symbolism in scripture, does your understanding come from "exactly what is written"? No, right? It should come from the Holy Spirit. So, what does it mean to get understanding from the Holy Spirit regarding, say, what a...

Pre-tribs refer to a grand total of one person from before the 18th century who they think may have taught pre-trib (which is highly debatable, at best) and they think this is convincing evidence that pre-trib must be true? You have to be kidding me.

That will be at hand at the 6th seal and then will happen shortly after at the 7th seal/7th trumpet/7th vial. Those are all parallel. And it will all happen after the thousand years and Satan's little season which is when Christ will return. Peter very clearly indicated that the destruction of...

How can He peacefully shepherd the ones that He has just killed, which is symbolically described as Him slaying them with His symbolic sword? You're not even thinking here. He's not going to rule over people He has just killed. Also, you ignore that OT prophecy that His ruling with a rod of...

It was future tense from the time that was written long ago. Him smiting the nations (heathen) and treading the winepress of God's wrath was future tense as well because it was talking about something that would happen in the future, which is that Jesus will destroy all of His enemies when He...

This is just foolish talk. Is the salvation of multitudes of people in the NT era a failure in your mind? More foolish talk. This is just a blatant disregard of straightforward scripture. Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to...

Exactly. That was an incredibly foolish thing for him to say and shows his lack of understanding of all that has been accomplished during the NT era which has been far beyond what was accomplished in the OT era.

What a ridiculous post. How many people were saved during Old Testament times compared to New Testament times? Far fewer, right? Not just in total number but as a percentage of people in the world far fewer were saved in OT times compared to NT times. Why do you suppose that is? Do you not...

That's nonsense. Amillennialism is taught in scripture, so it originated well before that.

Goodness sakes. Are you even reading what I'm saying? I said that I see Joel 2:28-32 as having an ongoing fulfillment for as long as people call on the name of the Lord and are saved and receive the Holy Spirit. And I said that will happen up until the day of the Lord's return in the future...

I see that you don't know what you're talking about. That's what I see. That was before the NT was written, obviously. The Holy Spirit gave Paul understanding which he then wrote down in his letters. But we have the NT now and it can help us understand the OT. Galatians 3:16-29 is in the NT and...

Easy to say now? Explain to me how it was possible for me to believe that Lazarus had already been raised unto bodily immortality after saying that Jesus was "the first to rise physically/bodily from the dead unto bodily immortality"? By saying that Jesus was the first to rise unto bodily...

No, I didn't miss it. You often say things that misrepresent what I've said and you were complaining about another person doing that to you in response to things that you said to him. I address them when I can actually understand them, but most of what you say is unintelligible. In what other...
