Here's a clear and balanced reply you can use: Yes, that’s correct — Peter explicitly says in Acts 2:16-17 that the events of Pentecost are the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy: So according to Peter, the “last days” began at Pentecost. This is important because many people today treat “the...

I didn’t substitute the Antichrist for the crucifixion. The text itself distinguishes the two figures in Daniel 9:26: “An anointed one shall be cut off” → Jesus the Messiah at the cross. “The people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary” → The Romans under Titus...

I understand the futurist perspective, but I see some important problems with applying the entire 70 weeks (including the 70th week) to a future period where Israel as a nation accepts Jesus. Daniel 9:24 says the 70 weeks are “determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city” to accomplish...

I agree that Daniel 12 speaks about “the time of the end.” However, we need to be careful with the context. Daniel 12 is directly connected to the events described in Daniel 11–12, which include the destruction of Jerusalem and the sanctuary (see Daniel 11:31 and 12:7 — “when the shattering of...

@Researcher Thanks for the kind words! I saw that YouTube video too interesting. I respect the view, but I have a hard time seeing the Abomination of Desolation as the Crucifixion itself. Jesus directly links the Abomination to the surrounding of Jerusalem by armies and the need to flee Judea...

Amen Brother Jesus said it would happen in that Generation

Interesting take! I like how you're trying to consistently apply the day-year principle and make everything point to Jesus that's commendable. That said, I think Daniel 9 is best read as literal “weeks of years” (70 weeks = 490 years), not folded into the day-year system. The prophecy flows...

Many expect a future 7-year tribulation as Daniel’s 70th week. But scripture and history show it was fulfilled in Christ's 3½-year ministry and the events of AD 66–70. Let’s examine Daniel 9. Daniel 9:24: “Seventy weeks are decreed about your people (Israel) and your holy city (All 70 weeks...

Let’s actually reread Matthew 24 together real slow word for word no skipping or twisting anything. Jesus says it’ll be just like the days of Noah. People were eating drinking getting married going about normal life right up until the day Noah went into the ark. Then the flood came and took...

One thing women I find don’t understand about men is we don’t care what you make or what your job title is. That’s something women care about in men. The simple truth is this physically men care about attractive women (and when I mean that men are not as picky as women think we are). When it...

I’ve read all your verses carefully. Claiming I haven’t is just nonsense. You say Matthew 24:29-31 supports pre-trib? Read it again: “Immediately after the tribulation… then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds… He shall send His angels with a great trumpet and gather His...

Hey, I’m not glossing over your concerns. But your recent pre-trib view — which was taught by men starting in the 1800s — is forcing the text in several places. First, there is no 7-year Tribulation clearly taught anywhere in the Bible. That idea is a misinterpretation of Daniel 9:27. Daniel’s...

Here are my points on what you said. First, the 144,000 — the Bible clearly says they're 12,000 from each tribe of Israel. Post-trib has zero problem with that. They're Jewish believers sealed during the Tribulation. Doesn't mean they have to be the Church. Second, Revelation 14 doesn't...

I agree that genuine faith produces a changed life and a desire to follow Christ — that’s the biblical evidence of true salvation (James 2, 1 John 2-3). On John 10:27-29: Jesus is emphasizing the security of His sheep. The text says they “hear My voice… follow Me… I give them eternal life, and...

The “silent years” refer mainly to the absence of new prophetic Scripture, not total inactivity by God. Cessationism doesn’t claim God is inactive or never answers prayer today. He still works powerfully through providence, the Word, and prayer. It simply holds that the foundational sign gifts...

I believe salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, not something we earn or maintain through our works (Ephesians 2:8-9). I don't believe water baptism saves us, but I do believe it is an act of obedience that follows salvation. As for assurance, I think many sincere Christians...

Here’s the fatal flaw in your entire argument: You just built a whole doctrine on three narrative examples in Acts, called it “consistent witness,” and then completely ignored that the epistles — which are the actual doctrinal teaching for the Church — never once teach what you’re claiming...

I appreciate your response. My point isn't that cessationism has no biblical arguments, but that the specific claim that the gifts ceased when the canon was completed is not explicitly stated in Scripture. It's a conclusion reached through interpretation. That's why I think it's fair to call it...

Got it. So after all the proof-texting, your best response is still “just read Acts with the epistles bro” while completely ignoring the actual question. Let me make it simple, since we’re going in circles: Show me one single passage in the epistles that teaches a born-again believer can...
