The Scriptures teaching the resurrection and the judgment occurring on "the last day", is the "end of the world" as we know it. But dispensationalists end up with multiple resurrections, not just two of the historic premillennialists or the one by post-mils and a-mils.

Being brought up in dispensationalism and the Scofield Bible, we were taught the Olivet Discourse was supposed to be in our future, a 7-year tribulation prior to Jesus coming for his saints and then the millennium was to begin. That is a corruption of the Bible by dispensationalists. That...

"Several of the traditions today strongly associated with Christmas have a very long history indeed, even pre-dating the Christmas celebration itself. Early Christianity sought to distance itself from pagan practices and so later Roman emperors closed down ancient sacred sites, prohibited...

It would pay you to use the cross-references in your Bible to see where that apocalyptic language is to be found in the OT. I'll hold to the words of Jesus as he expressed it as understood by OT knowledgable Judeans.

I agree, Cameron. The last verse of the book of Judges does seem to describe the world today in like manner to the time of the judges: "In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes." (Judg 21:25, ASV)

I haven't the time or inclination to refute the many errors in that link. I'll offer the following for anyone wishing to know the truth: John Gill would be called an "historic premillenialist". He was a British Baptist (1697-1771) - Gill believed in the "Spiritual Reign of Christ" as in his...

I suppose I experienced the opposite of the so-called "repressed memory" there. Sorry about that! :confused:

Xavier, consider other scriptures. Jesus is recorded as saying all the signs he mentioned, including Matt. 24:14, were to be accomplished during that generation to which he spoke - "Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished." (Matt 24:34...

You have written "to our Gentile apostle", so can you give the verse you are basing that upon? I see where Paul in Rom. 11:13 writes that he is "an apostle" of Gentiles, but I am not sure there is anywhere that Paul is termed the apostle to the Gentiles as if Peter cannot equally give truth to...

After Jesus prophesies the destruction of the temple in 70 AD in Matt. 24:1-35, Mark 13:1-31 & Luke 21:5-33; all 3 gospels record Jesus then turning his attention to "that day". In context it surely is referring to "the last day" of the resurrection in John 6:39, 40, 44, 54 which is also that...

I agree with you Billy! I've only been in Florida 12 years and he is the best Governor I've ever seen and I came down from Virginia. After 2020 I had decided to stop giving a single dime to any politician, ever again. But, I am now waiting for an honest and reliable DeSantis for President PAC...

I've gone from considering Ron DeSantis to run for the GOP nomination for President, to 100% backing him to run. Trump's gutter mouth and his recent nicknaming Ron as DeSanctimonious plus DeSantis' impressive win yesterday convinces me he is the better choice. Apparently most of the candidates...

I know what you mean by the "two worlds", but I found out we can get into trouble being too simplistic with the word "world" and its use in the Scriptures. I had a WatchTower type explain to me that since Satan is the prince of this world, we should not involve ourselves in any way with...

I'll be voting for a Democrat for the first time in over 30 years. President Trump endorsed a female by the name of Anna Paulina Luna (Mayerhoffer) to run for Congress from the 13th District in Florida. Even if I would ever vote for a woman, in denial of explicit Scripture commands that the...

Oyster, solid words of comfort there. I often sing the words of the old song "This world is not my home I'm just passing through". Even though we are warned not to put our trust in man, it is necessary that myself and fellow believers actually live the life of Christ as we should, and we are...

Moses wrote about Noah and the flood: "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD." (Gen 6:8 KJV) "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he." (Gen 6:22 KJV) "And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me...

I've been studying the book of Judges of late and it surely is a sad portrait of Israel. Even some judges were not so righteous, Samson a womanizer and even Gideon causing idolatry. The last verse of the book describes it well - "In those days, there was no king in Israel,––every man did, that...

Possibly having the advantage of 80 years on earth, and seeing the perversion of feminism snowball into all areas of life, it is easier to see the contrast of religion today compared to the clear teachings of the Holy Scriptures. It is astounding to watch blatant rejection of the emphatic...

Try your own selves, whether ye are in the faith; prove your own selves. Or know ye not as to your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed ye be reprobate. (2Cor 13:5) And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind...

Can we miss the larger picture by dwellling too much on fine points of grammar, when comparing Scripture to Scripture and doing word studies may give different results? Here are two translations of the same two verses - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was...
