God bless you Beckie! I can see the grace of patience is strong with you, it is my weakest, and I must pull away from threads and the nonsensical replies at times to keep my BP down. ;)

I find the simple, most natural understanding of Scripture the best. I embrace the words of Matthew Poole on 2 Cor. 11:3 - Paul, "was afraid, lest that as the serpent by his subtlety deceived Eve, so some subtle seducers should corrupt them, and so withdraw them from the simplicity of their...

One BIG advantage of being 80 is, I can see if dispensationalists' prophecies came true! "Hal Lindsey, author of The Late Great Planet Earth, believed he had unlocked the secrets of this passage in Matthew 24:32-33, suggesting the generation that saw the 1948 rebirth of Israel as a...

If the corrupted FBI comes away with any illegally kept documents from Trump's Florida home, I'll know the FBI planted them there just like crooked cops will plant drugs or a gun on a targeted victim. After ignoring Hillary deleting emails that had been subpoenaed, and the Russia collusion...

By a Freudian slip, you seem to reveal what you truly think. There was a sacrifice that removed ALL the sins of his people, and it is Jesus. "For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. Unlike the...

The phrase "the end of the world" I find in Matthew in the KJV, RV, ASV, The Peshitta, BBE and the CEV as to the translations I have in my software. What was in the disciples' mind we cannot know for certain. Did they think the end of the world was the end of the Jewish age with the...

If Jesus was the final and true sacrifice by being slain in the last days, how can dispensationalists adhere to the following in their idea of a future 1000 year kingdom where Christ rules in Jerusalem? "There were also four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, a cubit and a half long...

The promise of the land was only for Israel's obedience and they lost it, after having FULL possession of it. What is eternal, everlasting, is salvation through faith in God. I cannot understand why people will not believe the clear words of Scripture in the following: "Now, as you see, I...

Brother, having been in Scofield dispensationalism when young, I began to see something very serious. It is about "pride". As a dispensationalist, when I visited another church, my first inclination was to check to see what Study Bible they used. If the congregation wasn't using the Scofield...

Since the disciples so often had misunderstood Jesus, we cannot read the disciples' mind on what they meant by "the end of the world/age". They possibly considered that the destruction of the temple would be the end of time, world or age. The same Greek word had been used previously in Matthew...

I notice you evaded the challenge and proceeded to duck the issue. You class me with "amil/preterists", which I am NOT, and claim I am making this about a salvation issue. You are making a false statement about what I wrote. I did not mention "salvation", but I referred to Jude 1:3, "the...

A CHALLENGE FOR THE DISPENSATIONALISTS "Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints." (Jude 1:3, ASV) I cannot find in...

You are the one needing to get things right. The "world" under discussion in Matthew in Strong's is: "G165 αἰών aion (ai-ōn') n." It is not cosmos. I was not discussing John 3:16. The argument about "the end of the world" holds true whether it is translated "age" or "world" - and the enemy...

Are Dispensationalists Judaizers? I do believe they come close to that. Read the article in the Jewish Magazine: http://www.jewishmag.com/157mag/israel_returns_to_promised_land/israel_returns_to_promised_land.htm The last paragraph of that article reads: "The Twelve Israelite Tribes will...

What the NT "world" meant in Matt. 24:14 and in Rom 1:8 are both referring to the then known world. Rom. 1:8 even reads "whole world", the total. That is the Roman Empire to the people at that time. Col. 1:23 reads "preached to every creature which is under heaven", so that has to be the...

The latter days, or last days? Read about when this took place, according to Scripture, not silly footnotes in a study Bible. "And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven... But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to...

I do not find it so important to be premil, amil or postmil. I just wish to be ready on that day. But I do care when I see false prophets twisting Scripture to support their already held, man-made conception of eschatology. So, I offer the following on Matthew 24. "And as he sat upon the...

Paul speaking of books: "The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments." (2Tim 4:13, KJV)

John Gill, the 18th century Baptist was premillennial, but NOT a dispensationalist, which heresy did not exist then. Here is part of what he wrote about the millennium - "This glorious and visible kingdom of Christ, will not take place till after the resurrection of the just, and the renovation...

On Romans 11 - But if some of the branches(Physical Jews) were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot(Elect Gentiles), were grafted in their place to share the richness/rich root (Jesus the Christ) of the olive tree(God's people), do not boast over the branches(Physical Jews). If you do boast...
