Both Pretribbers and Preterists are clearly wrong that great tribulation begins with the DOTL.

[David in NJ]

Dave I believe that scripture clearly teaches that (The Beast) will be made a world spectacle when (The False Prophet) calls fire down from heaven before him

This deception in false miracles will be used in deceiving the world into receiving the mark and worshipping the image, it's not going to be a world secret, it will be front page news on every station, "Don't Be Deceived"!

Revelation 13:13-14KJV
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

Revelation 19:20KJV
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

AGREE
and
Good Morning

Wipe that stupid smile off your stupid face. Your post is as stupid as anything that anyone could ever imagine. As are the rest of your stupid posts…

All you’re doing is showing your own ignorance. The question, then, is whether that’s willful or not, but that matters not in the end…

your stupid belief that God purposely creates people with no ability and no opportunity to have eternal life that are guaranteed to spend eternity in eternal torment. Now, THAT is stupid.

I agree, but that’s not my belief at all. Now, if you can present to me anything I have said I do believe and then present an unavoidable implication that is obviously false and that I don’t believe ~ as I have done here with you ~ then I would have to see that contradiction and rethink some things. And that has been my point concerning what, again, you have said, verbatim, you believe.

So here it is in terms of logic:

A —> a(1) and a(2)

• A is your stated belief
• a(1) and a(2) are the unavoidable implications of A

Logically, one cannot believe one side of the arrow and not the other. If one believes A ~ as you do ~ and does not believe a(1) and/or a(2) ~ and I am fully aware and acknowledging of the fact that you don’t ~ then there is a disconnect, a contradiction in his thinking. Such is the case with you, and that has been my point.

Nothing can be more stupid than to say God doesn't want all people to repent and to be saved…

Agree; yes I have never said that, nor would I…

You can't get any more stupid than believing that God did not send His Son to die for the sins of literally all people in the whole world so that whoever in the whole world who believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16, 1 John 2:1-2, 1 Timothy 2:5-6).

Agree; yes I have never believed that, nor would I.

You know, it’s a curious thing: It makes you so angry for anyone to say you believe something that you don’t believe and that you have explicitly said you don’t believe, and that’s understandable, for sure. But yet you do that very thing, time and time again, not just to me but to others also. So yeah, curious…

And back to what I have said in this post, I mean I know you’re not stupid, or ignorant, per se, buuuuut…

Grace and peace to you.
