Re: PreTrib is invalidated because it does not uphold "no one knows the day or hour"
I think you may be confusing yourself a bit: First you said there is no adverse effect for having incorrect views of the Bible. Then I countered that. But now you're saying you have no incorrect views. Whatever you views may be, that wasn't the issue. The issue is your mistaken notion that incorrect beliefs about the Bible make no difference.
That's the entire topic of this thread. (?) Feel free to weigh in. I would assume you're PreTrib? Knock'em dead.
There's no place in the Bible that talks about whether it's OK to play video games either. I would say you're getting too "spiritual"...too "holy" when it comes to simple, practical common sense.
Well, wait a minute --I wasn't aware there is a place in the Bible which instructs "pre-arranged provisions".
Which of your two views do you hold to? That we shouldn't undertake to set aside provisions...or that we should undertake to set aside provisions?
You're kind of funny. You think if you make an unpleasant, sort of sneering remark and then simply declare you weren't making an unpleasant, sneering remark...you're covered - lol.
In any case, you're apparently making an argument that if you only have a week's or month's worth of "fleeing" provisions, you're maintaining proper 'sanctified' behavior ...but my 6 month's of provisions...well, that's grounds for sarcasm and belittling. I would say you're confused. Just my impression.
did I say say there is no adverse effect for having incorrect views of the Bible? I don't think so, but if I did, what I meant was that a sincere Christian who believes in a pretrib rapture will continue to live the same way if they change to posttrib.
if I understand you right, you're staying that a posttribber will have some provisions set aside for the great trib.
I believe I wrote, 'I don't believe I have an incorrect view of the Bible. If you want to talk about that, we could.' The 'that' is an incorrect view of the Bible. There are loads of things I still have to learn about what the Bible says, so I'm sure I'm wrong about many things. But, I believe my overall view of the Bible is correct.
I don't think the bible says it's wrong to have some amount of provisions set aside for emergencies. But, I'm not aware of a place in the bible where pre-arranged provisions are talked about as a way of preparing specifically for the great trib, if that's the idea under discussion here.
the phrase 'pre-arranged provisions' was used by yourself in your post 232, that's why I used it in reply.
I think it's wise to set aside a small amount of provisions for emergencies, say a few day's worth, but I would think that whether I was pre or post trib (I lean towards pre myself, but I'm not set in stone about it.)
so... you're right that I am confused... I still don't understand what you're advocating, and why...
some provisions stored in a car? or a large amount stored in a remote location?
and the stores are to survive the trib, or some other reason?
I don't believe I've made any unpleasant, sort of sneering remarks. But, if you do, I'd recommend we stop stop conversing, since it doesn't sound like the situation is edifying to you.
