and yet you still use Bullinger's notes to guide you... a pre-trib rapturists believe that they have been led by the Holy Spirit to believe in a pre-trib rapture, and yet they still follow the notes of Lacunza, Darby, and Scofield... Christina, Jordan, ask yourselves these questions:"Am I relying on the Holy Spirit to tell me what is right or wrong, or am I simply taking what the Companion Bible says is true just because the commentary says that it's true?""If I didn't know anything about the Great Tribulation, the rapture, Dispensationalism, Covenant theology, or any other teaching, and if I had a simple Bible with no notes, commentary, appendices, or anything, and simply relied on the Holy Spirit to guide me and to help me, would I come up with exactly what I believe now?"seriously ask yourselves these questions, and don't be ignorant and automatically say yes... 6 months ago when I first started to study the Bible, I asked myself that question, and I had to say no, because I was always going on what other humans were saying to be true... and according to the Bible, we're not supposed to do that.Jordan: E.W. Bullinger is the person who wrote all of the commentary for the Companion Bible... it's what theseason.org bases all of it's info on... the Kenite serpent seed doctrine?... yeah, that comes from the Companion Bible as well.you're only getting Bullinger's opinion on what he thinks the Bible says... the opinion of a human being... how about you take a step back and break away from everything Bullinger taught, and start to read it, not thinking "I believe in Hyper-Dispensationalism/Covenant Theology" and go in and try to prove it... simply read the Bible and bring out what the verses alone say.I know of an author who not only believes that there is no pre-trib rapture, but he also believes that the first seal was opened on 9/11/01 when the WTC towers fell, and that America is the Whore of Babylon. He is a great guy and loves God, but do I only follow what he says because he says it?... absolutely not... he even encourages his listeners to read the Bible for themselves, and not to take his opinion as truth just because he thinks that it is truth.Now isn't that a surprise... a man who studies the Bible asking his listeners and subscribers to read the Bible for themselves... he goes by 1 Thessalonians 5:21 and 2 Peter 1:20... he encourages Christians to seek out truth for themselves and not simply rely on men's interpretations. that's the way it should be in this world when it comes to God. God's Truth does not come from E.W. Bullinger, or Richard Perry, or Dwight Pentecost, or John Walvoord, or John Nelson Darby, or Roman Catholicism, or Iraneaus, or Ephraem of Nisibis, or Robert Emmitt, or John Hagee, or John Calvin, or John Wesley, or Matthew Henry, or John Gill, or Cyrus Scofield... ONLY from the Holy Spirit.are there prophecies in revelation that haven't been fulfilled yet?absolutely.have there been some already fulfilled?absolutely.I am going to say this to you one last time, Christina, because it's obvious to me that it still hasn't processed for you yet:I. DO. NOT. BELIEVE. THAT. THE. POPE. IS. THE. ANTICHRIST.I'm even going to say it one more time, just so that it properly sinks in...I. DO. NOT. BELIEVE. THAT. THE. POPE. IS. THE. ANTICHRIST.
You see all that highlighted stuff in the quote. Yea, I know no man, so don't accuse me of saying it came from Bullinger, because1. I don't know and probably don't care for a companion bible.2. I study alone myself before I even came to CB.And you absolutely love to add words to people's mouth...
