    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    What is your point? Can spirits exist without a physical host? There are angels of God that are unseen spirit beings. And there are also unseen spirit beings called Satan, devils, demons who are adversaries of God and His Church.

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Why would the prophets of old prophesy two comings of Jesus since they prophesy only of "THE day of the LORD cometh"? Nowhere do they speak of the prophesied LORD coming two times. All that the prophets foretell concerning the LORD shall be fulfilled in this age/day/time when the LORD would...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    You're being excessively paranoid! I use exclamation points all the time when I wish to make a definitive point! It has nothing to do with escalating some argument of your imagination or being uncivil. I've replied to your opinion, showing you how and why I have an opinion that differs from...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    If TS didn't believe in the existence of Satan and demonic spiritual beings, he wouldn't say they exist through human hosts? Like I, TS doesn't believe some angels of God were good and became evil beings through disobedience and became demons/devils of Satan. Yes, the spirit within FALLEN...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Yes, Joel not only prophesies about the day of the Lord coming, but his prophesy also includes the final day of the Lord. The last day of the Lord shall be the end of the day of the Lord the prophets of Old foretell would come.

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    How am I trying to start an argument with you? You call lacking understanding of the day of the Lord the prophets foretell semantics? I certainly do not! It's lack of understanding the day of the Lord the prophets foretell came when Christ came to earth a man that many believe there will be...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    In taking various posts out of context, without reading the entirety of the thread, one might claim there are replies that prove the denial of the existence of Satan and demonic spirits. However, reading the whole without a preconceived bias it is not true. It's never been a question of...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    I don't disagree with what you're saying, but you're confusing the beginning of the day of the Lord with the last day of the Lord when Christ shall come again. It's true that final day of the Lord shall be unexpected sudden destruction for all who are not eternally saved before the great and...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Yes, the day of the Lord is "always identified with a span of time during which God personally intervenes in history, directly or indirectly, to accomplish some specific aspect of His plan". Wouldn't you agree that a span of time is and has been on-going since Christ came to earth a man? The...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    The Prophet Joel, whom Peter quotes in Acts 2 says: Acts 2:16 (KJV) But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; Acts 2:21 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Joel 2:1 (KJV) Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an...

    Satan and his demons are real beings/entities (with personalities) not abstract evil within unregenerate man

    Sure, it didn't have anything at all to do with the discussion before it but was only started not to derail that thread.....whatever! If you can't figure it out by reading it yourself, nothing I could say could convince you otherwise!

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Yes, I believe it is a period of time that began when Christ came to earth a man. The prophets write of this coming period of time as "the day of the LORD" that was to come. This period of time that Christ ushered in with His first coming has an end, and that too in the New Testament is called...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    That cannot be what happens after the return of Christ, because Scripture tells us that when the day of the Lord we are waiting for shall come it shall be accompanied by fire and destruction written here: 2 Peter 3:9-12 (KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count...

    Who started this thread, carrying it over from another discussion? And who from the first post set the tone for all that has followed!

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    I really don't care what your issue is because you have been dishonest in what you've said regarding me personally. Therefore, as I said, I've grown weary of hearing your insults and belittling!

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    This is all assumption/speculation that Preterits must read INTO the Bible. You simply gloss over the fact that Luke makes no mention of AOD. That gives Preterits reason to believe the AOD was not as the other two gospel accounts portray, rather the AOD for the Preterits is viewed as the...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    You're wrong here also! Christ says great tribulation is associated with YE (the disciples) shall see AOD. After saying to the disciples that THEY would see/understand/know AOD stand/appointed/established in the holy place. If the AOD is the Roman Army desecrating the holy temple in 70 AD...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Like I've already told you if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. If you defend Preterits by arguing great tribulation is for both Christ's disciples and the apostate nation, then you are endorsing and showing yourself a defender of Preterism, and if not now one, well on...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    I'm just saying that you are wrong! Because trying to force fit great tribulation upon the apostate nation forces contradiction, because God promised unbelievers would receive His wrath, while also telling the disciples that in this life we must endure "great tribulation." Believers find great...
