    A question about the rapture

    Unbecoming of you. Are you hoping I report you, or just attacking what you do not understand? Typical. :(

    A question about the rapture

    You accuse me apparently without even knowing the meaning of Preterist. But yes, out in left field like eating Christ's flesh and drinking His blood. As for your two mentioned things that only occur in the future: Apostacy was already at work when Paul penned his explanation of what must first...

    The (potential) Treachery of Doctrine > My way, or the highway >

    The danger of men arriving at a doctrine that seems good to them, is much like the danger of Brown Belts. It's all knowledge, but lacking in humility and maturity, and therefore lacking in actual spiritual understanding. In other words, under our own power we can do a lot. But if the light in us...

    A question about the rapture

    Firstly, what I like or dislike is not the reason I read or comment. But rather being faced with a question (as in the Original Post of this thread) I freely give what has been given to me to answer, which is by the spirit of God in accordance with the gifts given to men by Jesus, the evidence...

    A question about the rapture

    :( What good is it to requote the scriptures, only to yourself assume what is contrary to what is also written? You say "only on the day of Christ's coming to destroy that "man of sin", will that false one then be revealed..." But the scriptures say that Christ destroyed that man of sin to...

    A question about the rapture

    I was not speculating or giving my opinion, that you might disagree. But let me ask you: So, you believe that you are not fallen, that you are not descendant from Adam and Eve by whom all have sinned against God and who hid themselves; or that sinning after Adam is not anti-Christ and against...

    The Tyranny of Politeness

    This is the enactment of good vs. evil, the finale. But we know who wins, and ultimately, deep down, so do they. They're just buying themselves more time. That's the game: Anything to get people out in leftfield prolongs the end of their ruse. So, out they go, saying, "Come!" So, yes, we...

    A question about the rapture

    ...It is because men are self-centered. In other words, it is easier to read that there is "a falling away" and believe "Surely not me!" in spite of confessing to be a sinner and one who's fall dates back to Adam in whom all have sinned--and point the finger...than it is to admit to the whole...

    A question about the rapture

    Your beliefs are certainly in accord with the teachings of the church (which was foretold to be tainted by false teachers), and yes, the future was indeed to experience a falling away. But the greater context and truth began in the beginning with the falling away of Adam and Eve, and...

    A question about the rapture

    Verse 3 of 2 Thessalonians 2 ( Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, ...) describes a circumstance that can and does occur at any time in history. In other words, there is...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    Whether you read this or not...the point is not that the words are not "written in a book"-- they are. But rather that they are so much more, and more by the spirit of God than mere "literature." Indeed, distinctly more--exclusively, as heaven is more than this world, and as God is more than man...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    God having created this world and also the kingdom which is not of this world, does indeed demonstrate mutual exclusivity. For which Paul wrote that a worker approved of God need not be "ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." As such, Jesus not only performed many miracles, but being a...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    Further explanation: What prompted my run-in with this so-called teaching of interpretation of scripture limited by "genre" against the fact that "all scripture is inspired by God and profitable for doctrine", etc...was my offering help to my pastor after he preached a sermon including much...

    The error of Biblical Interpretation by "Genre."

    Many pastors and church leaders have been taught that the Bible is "literature." Here is an example of what is commonly taught: The Bible is a work of literature. Literature comes in different genres, or categories based on style, and each is read and appreciated differently from another. For...

    How many ages are there?

    Bob, As there is no time in the heavenly realm of God ("no shadow of turning"), the "age" to come is not actually an age or "world" as it is also defined or translated, but rather to be understood as "ever" or evermore/"everlasting." Contrary to the five ages that you have suggested, Daniel...

    The Messiah

    Again, you're not listening. I told you I wasn't having a "discussion." Furthermore, I have not been saying what I "think." But make no mistake, in spite of your insolence, it has been an offer of kindness and help.

    The Messiah

    That's what you get when you pit one against another. To be clear...I do not specifically "agree" with @Behold, but I was "not at all" saying he is wrong. This confusion is yours. My point was that you misunderstand the issue and therefore are assuming something wrong about something you have...

    The Messiah

    That explains your lack of comprehension. You asked if I agreed. I answered, "Not at all." Now you say you "took that to mean I agree."

    The Messiah

    That is a lie. I did not say any such thing. On the contrary, I gave you the truth which showed you wrong in your assumption about God.

    The Messiah

    Nice try, but no. You have been having a discussion while I have simply been stating the truth from God which is not open for debate. You should have been asking questions...and paying close attention.
