We have 2,000 years of Church History. I went to several Bible Institutes to get a better understanding of those views. History DOES NOT LIE! And you are nowhere aligned with History. That indicates you are full of baloney.
show me specifically.
what was Irenaeus wrong about.
The trinity?
(you did not know your dead men were wrong about that also did you)

The biggest argument is deciphering the comments concerning what some believe is the claim of Age of Christ vs some believe the knowledge of Christ seemed more like an Old Wise man.

look
those guys saw Israel as scattered, dispersed and destroyed.
basically no Israel.

so nobody blames them for getting wacky on end times. Nonethelss they were WAY OFF

IOW it is postribbers claim to exault the early church as their basis for doctrine that ended up being a trap.

IOW one man got the idea to make the early church some great infallable template and what happened?
They decieved all postribbers!!!!!!!

And since you tossed the Trinity into the mix, Tertullian gets credit, but the first mention of triune or trinity actually came from Theophilus of Antioch

And i bet you did not know but in his older age, Tertullian, joined Montaneus, and became a Speaker of Tongues.

I am just saying, WE HAVE the HISTORY. And it proves this pre-trib Doctrine was not preached or believed. Why it is today, is beyond me when we know it was not 1900 years ago.

I don't have to justify anything because the beautiful thing about the past, is that it is documented history. And that documented history shows us what was being taught and what was not. And pre-trib rapture was not being taught by the 2nd century to the 18th Century Churches because they did not believe that is what Scripture claimed. Anything being taught from the past 500 years is New Age Myth!
The souce....Paul....taught the pre-trib rapture. Any subsequent failings of men are to be ignored. Which are many and continuous.

Look at what Polycarp states about the Coming of Christ, this is from 100 A.D.

Chapter 2. An exhortation to virtue
Wherefore, girding up your loins, 1 Peter 1:13; Ephesians 6:14 serve the Lord in fear and truth, as those who have forsaken the vain, empty talk and error of the multitude, and believed in Him who raised up our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, and gave Him glory, 1 Peter 1:21 and a throne at His right hand. To Him all things 1 Peter 3:22; Philippians 2:10 in heaven and on earth are subject. Him every spirit serves. He comes as the Judge of the living and the dead. Acts 17:31

He comes as the Judge of the living and the dead. Acts 17:31

No mention of pre-trib Rapture, just when He comes it is as JUDGE!!

The Church Fathers knew the pre-trib rapture was FALSE and did not teach it!

This is the Apostle John's Disciple, so this is what John the Apostle taught to his Disciples, no Pre-Trib Rapture:

Clearly, the Disciple/Apostle Beloved John, who was given Revelation, knew pre-trib rapture was False or he would have taught it to his own Disciples!

I've not seen you "hashing out" what I put at the links (to my posts) I supplied in those posts, though. = )





Irenaeus also believed in "3 levels" of destination for the believers [of all times]: "heaven," "paradise" and "earth"

[... so ^ because of the way he viewed this aspect ^ makes it even more convincing that how I'm reading him is indeed as I explain in those posts / post-links I supplied... b/c that is very similar to how the "pre-trib doctrine" understands things as well, differing only slightly]



P.S. to this post, in case some don't go look at those links to my posts... I am pretty convinced many people are MIS-READING Irenaeus (on the Subject of the timing related to Rapture / Caught Up... of the Church which is His body... in relation to what other thing he addresses in that quote...)
