Say what now? There is no such thing as Purgatory. Where are you getting this from? You're saying that there will be some already in heaven with glorified bodies before the last trumpet? Where is that taught in scripture?

What do you mean by that exactly? Before, you were trying to say that Matthew 25:31-46 is a description of the church being separated into sheep and goats. But, goats are not part of the church. Only the sheep are. So, can you see now that your claim was wrong and that Matthew 25:31-46 is...

Well, that's good because it actually disproves it. No, the gathering to the Lord occurs ON the day of the Lord. Paul equated the day of the Lord with the day Christ returns and we're gathered to Him.

I'm not denying that. I don't think you're reading what I'm saying carefully. What you quoted is something Jesus said before Judas betrayed Him. Once Judas betrayed Jesus, was he still one of His sheep? Not a chance. But, you seem to think he was still one of His sheep even after he...

I agree with your main point here which is that Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27 are the same event as 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17. Both speak of His one future coming and both speak of His own being gathered. I mean, if those aren't the same event then how can we ever determine that any two...

I don't want to bicker, but when I see someone denying something so obvious, such as the scriptures which show that dead unbelievers will be resurrected, then I tend to get a bit testy about it because I believe the person should know better. But, with that said, I'm going to honor your request...

They become goats before they die. You think Judas was still among Christ's sheep even after he betrayed Him? Not a chance. That's nonsense. Judas was certainly a goat already at that point, so it makes no sense to act as if he's currently among the sheep and will only become a goat when...

I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you're saying. Let me just ask you this. Do you believe at Christ's return that He will remove all of the wicked and all the things on earth that are used to do wicked things? That's generally true, but some things are wicked in and of themselves as well...

I think you probably do based on how much you post, but whatever. How about you respond to post #790 then? You said before that the Greek word translated as "kingdoms" in the KJV translation (but few others) of Revelation 11:15 is always plural. I gave several examples (and could give many...

I don't understand what you were trying to say here. Do you believe that Jesus will return at the last trumpet? Do you believe that 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 are speaking of the same event? If so, then why can't you discern that we will not all die, but we will all be...

Okay, wise guy, so tell us exactly how the following passage should be interpreted. 2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works...

Exactly. Only severe doctrinal bias would lead someone to skip over the part that says the heavens and earth themselves will be burned up and dissolved and conclude that it's only man's works that will be dissolved.

But, passages like Matthew 13:36-43, Matthew 13:47-50 and Matthew 25:31-46 portray the unsaved dead as being cast into the fire at Christ's coming at the end of the age. Do you agree that Christ will come at the end of the age? If so, then what do you make of passages like Matthew 13:36-43 and...

Remember, we're talking about the day of judgment here. What was his status after he betrayed Jesus and when he died? That is what matters here. Was he part of the church after he betrayed Jesus and when he died? I think he clearly was not. Otherwise, Jesus would not have said this about...

:p

It's taught everywhere in God's Word. You lack the discernment to see it. LOL. 2 Peter 3:10-12 makes it clear that the earth itself will be burned up at that time when Christ returns, so how can any mortals survive that? We know that believers will be made immortal (changed to have immortal...

Hahaha. Please. Give us all a break with this nonsense. You're basically saying that Jesus, who is God, somehow didn't have all the information when He gave the Olivet Discourse. Come on. It's very clear that all people will be judged at the same time and it will happen when Christ returns...

He is King of kings and Lord of lords now. Do you deny this? Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Ephesians 1:19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he...

We obviously strongly disagree on some things, but I strongly agree with you on this. The idea of multiple raptures is comical, at best. It's utterly ludicrous and clearly not taught in scripture anywhere. It's barely even worth taking the time to refute such nonsense. And I agree it's...

Before I get to that, I want to first make it clear that I believe we should understand that Jesus was asked two separate questions at the beginning of the Olivet Discourse. The first question related to when the temple buildings would be destroyed and the second question related to His coming...
