I see your Thigpen, and I raise you a J. Dwight Pentecost, Walvoord, Ryrie, A.T. Robertson, Thiessen, Chafer, Hunt, McDowell, McCarthy, Packer and many many others. Its not an issue of how many commentaries there are (or what the commentaries say). Commentaries are not infallible, nor are they inspired Word of God, but is what the commentaries say actually hermeneutically sound. John J. Stubbs wrote in the introduction to a compilation of papers he wrote concerning commonly misinterpreted texts, that his series of papers were not apologetics respecting texts misused by the unsaved, or that they addressed so called difficult texts, but instead dealt with those texts that are commonly misunderstood and misapplied by Christians. Those endeavoring to study such texts have already a great love for the word of God, and desire not only to quote it correctly, but also to give to Scripture the sense that the Holy Spirit intended.

To whit I am familiar with all the differing eschatological arguments and even differing dispensational systems, however, I'll go toe to toe categorically with any argument and anyone who wants to refute pre-trib pre-mill rapture, post-trib pre-mill second advent of Christ. I'll show why any other hermeneutic is wrong and how its inconsistent and essentially unsound doctrine.

As far as refuting what you asked me to, see my response to Rockingham above. Its a straw man argument and needs no further refuting.

Blah, blah, blah.

Find me one Christian between 100 AD and 1800 AD who believed in the rapture (I'm leaving the NT out of this because we are disputing over the meaning of those texts).
