Not off topic. It means only that you have no proof for your theory.

Really?

Really......

And you really do not know the Bible or what you're talking about.

I question everything and am careful in what paths I follow. Iv'e seen many geezers die, who believed and taught lies their entire lives. Nothing more sad than seeing a life wasted this way.

Which has nothing to do with what you believe.

It has everything to do with why I question everything and prove it true before building my faith on it.

Whatever your babbling about.

I've seen people played for suckers and waste their entire life believing some of today's most popular doctrines.

So have I. Yours being one of the worst.

The thing is, you cannot support much of what you believe with direct quotes from scripture. I do not believe anything unless I can.

Your problem is spiritualize everything so verses loose their meaning.

No, I take what Jesus taught and make Revelation conform to it. You take what the Pharisees taught and make Revelation conform to that.

 

[CoreIssue]

No, I take what Jesus taught and make Revelation conform to it. You take what the Pharisees taught and make Revelation conform to that.

And therein lies your problem. You take a verse, force your meaning on it and then try to force everything from everywhere else to conform.

No, I follow Jesus' teaching and view Revelation his way. Not the way of the Pharisees which many do today.

No you don't

 

[Phoneman777]

One cannot arbitrarily convert 1,260 days (3 1/2 years) to 1,260 years. Those 1,260 days are the 42 months assigned to the Beast (the Antichrist) in the future. They are also designated as time (1 yr), times (2 yrs) and the dividing of time or half a time (6 months). Therefore the papacy does NOT fulfill this prophecy.

Yes the legs of iron of that image represented the Roman Empire, but the feet having an admixture of iron and clay represent ten kingdoms or nations which will arise out of the former Roman empire to initially support the Antichrist.

Arbitrary? No, it is wholly consistent to reckon that along with the other elements of prophecy that are symbolic - horns, heads, beasts, waters, winds, etc. - time is also symbolic, as well.

What is arbitrary is to agree that the 70 Weeks are symbolic time, but then get over to Revelation and make the duration of events literal time - the absolute height of eschatological inconsistency.

 

[Enoch111]

time is also symbolic, as well.

Rarely. And when an hour or a day is used metaphorically, the context gives us the clue

 

[Dave L]

No you don't

You add to Revelation when you assume the kingdom is physical. It is a kingdom of faith, not a physical kingdom for those who walk by sight.

Both spiritual and physical, which does not exclude faith.
