    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    No, I didn't. I have explained my understanding of the man of sin many times. What do you mean? Be more specific. What exactly is your understanding of Satan's binding and his little season? Do you think his little season has been going on for a long time already? I'm not ignoring anything...

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    Those 2 things Paul that talked about were things that would happen before the second coming of Christ actually happened and not things that happen on the day He returns. But, as you said, they are ambiguous events, so why would I try to prove that Jesus didn't come in 70 AD by referring to...

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Why are you so childish? Do you plan to ever grow up? Just because someone sees recapitulations in the book of Revelation and sees the seals, trumpets and vials as being parallel to each other doesn't mean they are ignoring the trumpets and vials. You are like the babes in Christ who Paul...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I already did that in posts 2, 4 and 8. Let me now if you want me to expand on anything I said in those posts.

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Please be serious. If you didn't have extreme Premil bias you would not be saying this. It means there will only be righteousness and no more wickedness. That is confirmed in Revelation 21:1-4 which says there will be no more death when the new heavens and new earth are ushered in. No more death...

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    LOL. How would that make any sense? LOL. The first one? Okay, tell me which day of the Lord that Paul wrote about in 1 Thessalonians 5? The first one? Second one? How many are there? Which day of the Lord did Peter write about in 2 Peter 3? How about we just all decide for ourselves how many...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    I have. You should consider whether any scripture besides Revelation 20 ever refers to Satan's little season. I believe it does just as other scriptures refer to other things referenced in Revelation 20 like Christ's reign, Satan's binding, Christ's people reigning with Him as priests, the...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Then I'll ignore your argument that ignores the fact that every concept that is written about in Revelation 20 is also written about in other scripture, and that includes Satan's little season. But, you apparently think that Revelation 20 is the only place where that is written about. There's...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    LOL. I'm not ignoring anything, buddy. Should I accuse you of ignoring my arguments? I guess I should since that seems to be exactly what you're doing.

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    Of course there is only one future day of the Lord coming. That's why Paul and Peter referred to THE day of the Lord. Because there's only one future day of the Lord and that will be the day when we are caught up to meet Christ in the air and when He brings "sudden destruction" by fire upon the...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    You know me better than this. I'm not going to play games like this. I'm ignoring nothing. Just address what I said instead of playing games.

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Just responded to his comments made in that post, so you can read that. He and I have discussed 2 Thessalonians 2 before, but I'm not sure if he remembers that. I don't believe so. It says in 2 Thess 2:7: "He who now restrains", so the restrainer is a "he" and not an "it". I had previously...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Yeah, I don't place the same confidence in them that you guys do. You know this. We've talked about this before. Do you recall? So, you think. I do. As you know...if you recall our past discussion about this. Is it your view that Satan's little season is only ever referenced in any way in...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    What is your understanding of the following verse... 2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Do you understand that the reference to "his promise" here is a reference to the promise of His coming (Christ's...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Of course. Well that's not me. Puts what 2000 years after the time of Paul exactly? I'm sure almost everyone agrees that the mystery of lawlessness was already at work in Paul's time, as Paul explicitly said. Yes, and that's what I'm doing. What I'm asking you to do is explain how you came to...

    Rapture Thoughts of Some Early Church Leaders

    Exactly. People don't even think carefully about why there is silence in heaven at the 7th seal. The reason is that no one is there because Jesus, His angels and the souls of the dead in Christ will have descended from heaven at that point. He will return at the last trumpet, which is the...

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    Why is that? I don't think that makes any sense. The second coming of Christ that Paul referred to is the same as the second coming of Christ that Jesus referred to in the OD. There's only one second coming of Christ. Also, there's only one gathering of the elect (Christians) that will occur at...

    The fallacy of believing Jesus was talking about the temple of stones on the Mount of Olives

    There was no gathering of the elect by the angels at that time. It implies that the elect from the uttermost part of earth to the uttermost part of heaven (Mark 13:27) are all gathered at the same time. No such thing happened in 70 AD. Also, don't you think that Paul, in 2 Thessalonians 2:1, is...

    Who is Paul discussing in 2 Thessalonians 2?

    Right. What or who else would restrain lawlessness? Right. The question remains for you, anyway. I don't believe this is something that can be easily identified, but has to be spiritually discerned as far as when the restrainer is taken out of the way. The restraint being lifted coincides...

    The Conundrum of Zechariah Ch. 14

    Since we're talking about symbolic text here, it's silly to try to apply rules that would only apply to literal text to those verses. If those verses are symbolic, then there's no reason to insist that the verses have to be logical in a literal sense as would be the case if it was literal text...
