    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    That isn't what I was talking about. Of course, there are true things taught in other sources. I had a math book as a kid that told me 1 + 1 = 2. That is true despite not being scripture. So, I'm not talking about "Sola Scriptura". It figures you would miss the point. What I'm saying is that you...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    I understand the reluctance to be labeled. I'm not a huge fan of labels. However, they do help identify what people believe without us having to explain what we believe every time we tell someone what we believe. Know what I mean? So, I have no problem in saying that I'm an Amillennialist. It...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Let's say that the books you have in the Old Testament of your Bible were all actually scripture as you believe. Why is it that you don't interpret New Testament scripture correctly? Regardless of which books you believe are part of the OT, you still interpret much of the NT falsely. What is...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    LOL. For you to tell someone else to get over themselves is the funniest and most ironic thing anyone can ever say. If I'm a Protestant by your definition, good for you. I'm not by my definition. Who cares, anyway? You like to focus on meaningless things like this to distract from the fact that...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    You are not getting it. I don't agree with his take on all of this. I posted those pictures mostly to be humorous. I don't think that the text in Revelation 18 is meant to be taken literally. It's just interesting how Catholic bishops and priests dress the same way that is described there. I...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    LOL. Well said. This guy is blatantly redefining English words to support his false claims. No wonder he calls us "Einstein". He recognizes that we are all far more intelligent than he is since we actually know what English words mean.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    I honestly couldn't care less what you find to be insulting. Catholicism is so clearly full of false teaching that you have to be blind not to see that. The great city is Mystery Babylon, but it is neither a literal woman nor a literal city even though it is described as both a woman (harlot)...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    You insinuated that, like others had done (who I couldn't care less about), I changed my view and that I formerly thought that the Catholic Church itself was Mystery Babylon. I have never believed that. Saying it is PART of Mystery Babylon is not the same as saying it IS Mystery Babylon, genius.

    Should the meaning of Greek words affect the interpretation of the passages they are found in?

    It's so strange to me that you say some things that it only makes sense for Amils to say and some things that only Premils would say. Very confusing. Yet, Amil and Premil can't both be true. Anyway, why would He destroy all unbelievers in the world twice in the future? Why wouldn't doing that...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    I agree. You are 4 for 4 in giving examples of passages from your non-scriptural books that are not referenced in actual scripture.

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Perhaps you have a bad memory, but I already told you that I'm not part of any denomination. I have no problem since I don't identify as a Protestant. I'm obviously anti-Catholic, but is that all it takes to be a Protestant in your mind? If so, that's pretty stupid. I don't accept a label that...

    Should the meaning of Greek words affect the interpretation of the passages they are found in?

    I do believe that is exactly what you are doing with Revelation 19:11-21 and 2 Peter 3:10-12. I have yet to see you give a convincing explanation of why Revelation 19:11-21 should be taken literally.

    Should the meaning of Greek words affect the interpretation of the passages they are found in?

    I absolute agree with your take on how this person is behaving here. He or she thinks he or she is holier than the rest of us because of supposedly having better things to do than discuss eschatology with other believers. But, I guess he or she doesn't have better things to do than to act...

    Should the meaning of Greek words affect the interpretation of the passages they are found in?

    Well, in that case, in terms of meteorites and asteroids falling, then it's not literally talking about stars falling. You talked about being consistent and taking all of it literally, but turning stars into meteorites and asteroids is not a case of taking it literally. I'm just saying. I do...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    I don't go by what others teach, so I couldn't care less about how others interpret that. Now, you are lying. I have NEVER said mystery Babylon was the Catholic Church. Do you know that lying is a sin? Maybe it's not a sin in your false Catholic Bible. And you noticeably said NOTHING in...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Clearly, whoever came up with the idea that opposite doctrines can fall under the same label wasn't very intelligent. Imagine me telling you that two doctrines that teach completely different things were both Catholic doctrines. What would you think about that?

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    Are you unable to read? I didn't say that the Catholic Church is Mystery Babylon, I said it is part of Mystery Babylon. It encompasses more than just the false Catholic Church as it is the spiritual opposite of the heavenly new Jerusalem (Christ's church). Also, Jesus was not crucified in...

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    I already showed you Revelation 1:5-6. Did you not read it? Do you see there that John talked about Christ being the ruler of the kings of the earth and believers at that time having been made priests in Christ's kingdom? Why would that have not continued for believers from then on?

    22 major reasons to abandon the Premil doctrine

    When you word it like that it comes across as if all Protestants believe that. But, I wouldn't expect someone with your utter lack of intelligence to understand something simple like this.

    Just ATTEMPTED to. And failed. Again. I would tell you to keep the laughs coming, but I know that you will, so there's no need.
