    Thief in the Night-- Pretrib or Second Coming?

    Im trying to catch up on thread by reading previous posts and working out what makes peoples brains tick, so you may have heard this all before if you have then please just ignore me. 2 thes 1 from a pre tribbers point of view is referring to the time of the tribulation (when He comes in that...

    Thief in the Night-- Pretrib or Second Coming?

    Thanks, when you say Just to be clear(sorry this is all new to me) The only mortals who enter into the kingdom are unbelievers so no believers? the survivors who, can I presume worshiped the Antichrist? took the mark of the beast persecuted Jews are also the ones who go up to Jerusalem every...

    Thief in the Night-- Pretrib or Second Coming?

    Its not the fact there are survivors, its the fact there are no believing survivors from post tribs view, as opposed to believing survivors from a pre trib view, I guess you can say the unbelieving mortal survivors become believers in the 1000 kingdom? Im having trouble seeing how that can be...

    Thief in the Night-- Pretrib or Second Coming?

    Sorry I dont understand, those that believe what? Does He not tell us how He will judge them? For instance the unbelievers at His coming. 2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 2Th 1:8 In flaming fire...

    Thief in the Night-- Pretrib or Second Coming?

    Yes I understood, and the verses you gave me from Matt 25 that say the nations are gathered, those who did good to God's people are seen as sheep and enter the 1000yr kingdom are also seen as righteous and have eternal life? 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate...

    Thief in the Night-- Pretrib or Second Coming?

    Interesting verses thanks, so I'm trying to understand it from post trib and this is what im seeing, one does not believe in Christ therefore misses the rapture as He comes, yet according to matt 25 if they have done good works they are actually also sheep and by their good works not only enter...

    Thanks, so if all believers are raptured the mortal survivors are all non Believers?

    Thief in the Night-- Pretrib or Second Coming?

    Just a quick question, if you believe the return of the Lord and the rapture happen at the end of the tribulation, does that mean you see all believers resurrected and or transformed into our eternal bodies then caught up to Christ as Hes descending to the earth. Does that mean only non...

    Paul's man of sin is Revelation's false prophet

    For what its worth, I also think the AC and FP are the same person, yet I arrive to the conclusion from a different angle, I believe the AC morphs into the FP. I think the AC is mortally wounded, and more importantly is the first beast of Rev 13. Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were...

    Exorcism

    Jude was inspired, he could have been informing us directly what Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied with or with out the existence of the Book of Enoch, it would not be the only time scripture does this, obviously you dont believe Enoch the seventh from Adam wrote the book of Enoch? And as I...

    Exorcism

    I did, and I also read and maybe mistakenly thought that you were also not here to debate if the book of Enoch was inspired. If someone says they dont think Jude was actually quoting Enoch, Ive given a heads up on my position and You probably already know my arguments, no doubt you would have...

    Exorcism

    I dont put any stock in the book of Enoch, it's obviously not inspired, if Jude quoted from it, which I don't think he did (I agree, that's another topic), it does not necessarily mean God put his trust in it enough to treat it as gospel truth, To me Satan or a heretical book could be quoted if...

    Exorcism

    I said it, my point is man is fallible, you said not to put all my trust in modern scholars, and that the ancient Jews knew directly from the prophets, I dont know what your point was going to be, but those at Corinth knew the apostles directly and made huge mistakes, Peter an actual apostle...

    Exorcism

    It cuts both ways, I see you as doing the same with scripture with verses like John 12:31 and then the figurative verses you see them as literal for example some people think when a person is excommunicated he is literally handed over to Satan, and some think hes put out into the world, which is...

    Exorcism

    Sorry im not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you saying that Goliath was a man/Giant the offspring of an angel/human, and after he died he became a demon, this may be not what your saying I just want clarification, as i said im not the sharpest tool in the shed... Any chance you might say...

    Exorcism

    Totally agree, we should read scripture and let scripture influence us and it should form our views and we all we need to change how we think and what we think as our understanding of Gods word should be increasing as we mature on to the meat of the Word. What I do when I have two views...

    Exorcism

    Hi Pilgrimshope I love your name :) Thanks for all these verses, I cant but help reading through all the posts though that people seem to explain all the evil in the world as some evil supernatural influence and blame all our troubles upon this outside influence, and they interpret the verses...
