That's okay. I like your congenial spirit. That goes a long way with me. Thanks!

I agree things are not getting better. "Kingdom Now" theology seems to think different? I don't like to characterize those who disagree as "idiots," but I agree that if they are Christians witnessing the decline of Western Civilization and think things are going well, they have rose-colored...

Unbelievers do not read the book of Revelation! The book was said by Jesus to be for the Church! Rev 1.1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. It is just plain Common Sense to understand that *Jesus' servants* are the Church! So...

This is purely an assertion, and not reality. The reality is that Adam and Eve had a conscience. This makes sense because they were given a command which, if not followed, would result in disobedience. They clearly had a conscience, as indicated when they chose to do wrong and then felt guilty...

If you don't believe the Coming of Jesus for his saints is not "the Rapture," and is not in the book of Revelation, you have an even greater problem! Why on earth would God give the most important prophetic book in the NT for the Church and not include our hope? If the word "church" is not...

That is a misrepresentation of Protestant teaching, that we are saved by Grace, and not by the Law. The Law of Moses was designed to show Israel how to live in preparation for Salvation, but could not save in itself, because the Law was carried about by imperfect men. Just one sin would keep...

The problem with this is, it doesn't make sense. God created Man in His own image, and assigned to him a distinct mission. He was, in other words, told what the right thing to do is. Man was also told what *not* to do, namely not to eat of the forbidden tree. If Man did not have a conscience...

When the Lord reminds you that you should not add to nor detract from the book of Revelation, what are you going to say? To add a Pretrib Rapture to the book is "adding" to the book. To take away the Church form the time of Antichrist's reign is "taking away" from the book. You have been warned...

You're very much mistaken. First of all, Paul was teaching on the basis of Dan 7, where the Little Horn is viewed as doing harm to the saints. And so, Paul said that Christ, the "Son of Man" in Dan 7, would not come until it is time for him to come and destroy the Little Horn, in order to...

Yes, wherever the Lord goes, He requires a holy environment. Since He has mercy He doesn't destroy all impurities immediately, but gives laws to enable people to conform over time. But if people refuse to conform ultimately they will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Yea, I believe the laws that exist with God's word ensure that the environment around it guard its purity. Wherever God's word goes forth, whatever is contrary to it is proscribed.

For those of you who think that as Christians you won't have to see the Antichrist, think again. What you're witnessing right now is the beginning of what I think is the beginning of the end of European Civilization as we knew it. The Antichrist spirit has been taking over, and it has been...

I don't think that's what Paul meant, that without the Law no sin is incurred. Rather, God doesn't hold one completely accountable for what he doesn't know is wrong. However, sin is wrong whether one understands it as such, and he is held accountable whether he knows why or not. Sin preexisted...

No, I've not been misled. I've just studied these things for decades, prayerfully. I don't claim, absolutely, I'm right, as you seem to be claiming about yourself. I never said 70 AD was "the end." My position is not contingent upon that. What Jesus proclaimed was that Jerusalem would fall in...

You seem to think there is only your argument? There is actually quite a good other argument, which is the approach I take. My view is based on the idea that Jesus was not referring to all the signs he had listed, but rather, only to those signs connected to the fall of the temple in 70 AD. He...

I've been studying the book of Revelation for about 50 years. So I'm very familiar. If you haven't studied well enough, you will see things only through the lens of modern eschatology, or popular eschatology. Much of it is futurist, as I am. But it tends to think *everything* in the Bible...

That's the usual argument, to try to prove that this generation is an end-time generation. However, it is illogical, because Jesus said all these signs would take place in "this generation," referring to his own generation. 1) Jesus was speaking to his own Disciples in his own generation. 2)...

Yes, the Coming of Christ is indeed noisy. That's a major argument we Postribbers use against Pretrib and their "Secret Rapture." If you don't believe in a Secret Rapture as a Pretribber, then you're a rare Pretribber indeed!

You didn't show differentiation at all between what you just said and what I said. I do believe that the book of Revelation is largely about the last 3.5 years in this age, when Antichrist presides over 7 leaders and 10 states in Europe. It is in fact future. But all of this is given to the...

What are you talking about? *Pre-Tribbers* are the ones who concocted the Secret Rapture theory!!
