Beckie, you and I have the same memory of the dispensationalists teachings. Your memory is actually better than mine. I had shoved the heresy of dispensationalism so fully out of my mind, I've had to re-look at some of my old notes.

I'll stay with the words of the Holy Spirit inspired Apostle Peter rather than the cafeteria style literalism practiced by dispensationalists. “Fellow Israelites, I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Since he...

On being truly "literal", reading from the KJV "Translators to the Readers", found in the early KJV Bibles: "Lastly, wee have on the one side avoided the scrupulositie of the Puritanes, who leave the olde Ecclesticall words, and betake them to other, as when they put washing for Baptisme, and...

In many ways, as a post-mil, I'm quite similar to the A-mils as to timeline but with more optimism. You mention Luther, and my most trusted Study Bible is the Lutheran Study Bible by the LCMS. I agree with their prophecy charts and how they correct the false teachings of the...

In this day when you hear people talk on and on about prophecy and mention "rapture", they invariably use it as dispensationalists have distorted it.

Thanks for posting that about Scofield. If I ever knew it in the past I've forgotten it. That is what typically the sort of things that come out about the various heretics appearing in the 19th century.

I should add,the idea of "secret is not inherent in the word "rapture: 1828 Webster's RAP'TURE, n. [L. raptus, rapio.] 1. A seizing by violence. [Little used.] 2. Transport; ecstasy; violence of a pleasing passion; extreme joy or pleasure. Music when thus applied, raises in the mind of the...

I sat under dispensationalist deceit for years and they do indeed teach a "secret" rapture that leaves the lost scratching their heads at what on earth happenedf? Martians come and abduct those missing people?? All your claims to the contrary, you do NOT find a secret rapture in commentaries...

The religious humanism form of post-mil teaching died out after the attempt to bring in the kingdom of God by the civil authority. First declaring slavery in itself is sin and it must take war to stop it; then came government takeover of the schools; then woman's movement, and of course...

Studying the deceit of the dispensationalist Scofield Study Bible footnotes, is what eventually made me a postmillennialist The kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven are different, according to Scofield on Matt 6:33 " The kingdom of God is to be distinguished from the kingdom of heaven (See...

You are taking completely out of context what the typical evangelical of today means when he speaks of the "rapture". The word "rapture" in the old commentaries merely refers to the taking up the saints at the last day, those dead and in the grave rise first and those alive meet them in the air...

Where do dispensationalists find the imaginary 7-year tribulation? A more accurate depiction of the 70 weeks by chart: http://www.geocities.ws/gacbloomington/70wksdaniel.gif The dispensationalists invent a 7-year tribulation in our future by separating, without any basis to do so, the 70th...

"Q: What is the rapture? A: There are many Christians who believe that the second coming of Jesus Christ will be in two phases. First, He will come for believers, both living and dead, in the “rapture” (read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). In this view, the rapture—which is the transformation and...

After reviewing the responses to my post-mil post, I see I'll have to connect the dots and expose the oft-repeated canard of the dispensationalists that they are consistent literalists. The prophecies in the book of Revelation in 1:1,3 & 22:6,10 clearly state that the prophecies "must shortly...

The world the disciples heard Jesus speak to in Matt. 24:14 is obviously the same world Paul refers to, the known world, the Roman Empire and lands bordering that. So, what Jesus said was fulfilled by the time of Paul. So, Matt. 24:14 has been completed, fulfilled if language means anything at...

Do you not realize how silly your last sentence sounds speaking of the Holy Spirit inspired words of the Apostle Paul?

Yes, the word "rapture" is used in older commentaries prior to dispensationalism, but not in the same sense as the dispensationalists. No, Revelation 20 does not refer to two resurrections. There is nothing there about a second resurrection. "But the rest of the dead lived not again until...

BDAG kosmos in Rom. 1:8 - planet earth as a place of inhabitation, the world oikoumene in Matt 24:14 - the earth as inhabited area, exclusive of the heavens above and nether regions, the inhabited earth, the world In the BDAG, the actual definition is given in italics. Your argument falls...

So, the Apostle Paul was in error in Rom. 1:8 and Col. 1:23? For myself, I will believe the Bible.

I'm aware from the etymology that "rapture" comes from the Latin. Keep in mind that the Roman Catholic Douay-Rheims translates the Latin into English and it does not use "rapture" in the text you give: "For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto...
