The correct answer is no because the Master didn't tell us to watch only so we would know when His coming was near. Any time it says to watch it relates to watching what's going on and being careful not to be deceived. In your view there is no real purpose to watching. Part of the way we watch...

I wasn't even talking about the two men on the road. This was the passage being discussed: Luke 24:44 He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” 45 Then he opened...

No longer a part of what Israel? They were still a part of the nation of Israel, so he couldn't have been saying they were cut off from the nation of Israel. What did Jesus say was being taken from them in Matthew 21:43-45? The kingdom of God. What does that tell you about the Israel they were...

I'm trying to get you to see what scripture actually says about great tribulation and who has to endure it. What is "the great tribulation" exactly in your view? At what time exactly? Yes, of course. But, what you and many others don't understand is that He spoke of two different times of...

What did you mean exactly when you said "In Heaven you can be redeemed"? The time to be redeemed is during our lifetimes on earth, not in heaven. You want him to quote scripture even though you didn't even quote scripture yourself to support your claim? Interesting. You did reference a...

So, you don't think you need to do that? It's only those who supposedly become believers after the rapture who will need to do that? You must be doing something wrong then. Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through...

What would be the purpose of these supposed offerings made in this supposed new temple and why would the beast want to stop them? Please use scripture to support your answers.

Do you think that the only reason we should watch is so that we know when His coming is near? What about what Jesus said here: Matthew 24:5 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. Seems that...

What does this mean? Are you denying that a tribulation will occur before the second coming? If so, have you never read this: Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and...

Did you actually read all of my post? Why are you acting as if one can only sin by actually committing a certain act, such as murder? Did you not read this: 1 John 3:15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. Do you...

In regards to the promises that God made to Abraham and his seed can you show me where the OT indicates that his seed were Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:16) and those who belong to Christ (Galatians 3:29)?

Let's see how he tries to get around this one. If you tell him 1 + 1 = 2 he will find a way to conclude that 1 + 1 = 3 instead.

I don't like you putting it as "what Peter meant to say". He said exactly what he meant to say because it was what the Holy Spirit inspired him to say. You putting it that way gives the impression that he didn't word things the way he meant to or the way he should have. That may not be what you...

You understand that "these men" being referenced in that passage were His disciples, don't you? Do you think anyone else understood the OT scriptures any better than the disciples did at that time? Do you think you have more discernment than the disciples did?

If that's all you have, that's fine. But, it didn't make any sense to me as an explanation of why we would need to leave earth to meet Him in the air only to come right back down to the earth. How can it take place on the earth in light of what it says here: Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great...

Why did you come across before as if you believed that this (what was happening on the day of Pentecost) had nothing to do with that (the prophecy in Joel 2:28-32) at all? Were you just not thinking about what you were saying or have you changed your mind recently?

You should try reading the rest of the passage before coming to this conclusion. Verse 34 comes before verse 41, doesn't it? The righteous are "dealt with" in verse 34 and the unsaved are "dealt with" in verse 41. So, if that is any indication of the order in which the righteous and the unsaved...

You understand I'm saying that as well, right? I, too, see the act of having part in the first resurrection as going from being spiritually dead in sins to spiritually alive in Christ. But is it an "anastasis"? I'm not so sure about that. Does that really matter? No, it does not. I thought you...

This doesn't really answer my question. Why wouldn't we just meet Him on the earth instead of meeting Him in the air if we're just going to end up on the earth, anyway? Neither. Revelation 20:11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from...

Why did you refer to the branch (singular) being broken off when Paul talked about branches being broken off. Do you not have any interest in quoting Paul accurately? What are you talking about? Any idea? I truly think that even you don't know what you're talking about at least half of the...
