Interesting.
Perhaps it’s worth checking out . . .
given that y’all are seemingly so much more INTO cultism sorts of things. Y’all are likely much more experts on such things than I am.
Though I have read a lot of Walter Martin’s Kingdom of the Cults.
However, my impression has been that if y’all don’t find someone in 98.99999998888887778889% agreement with y’all’s perspective,
then the “cult” label is automatically thrown out most derisively.
Very impressive, that.
Thanks for your kind words.
I suppose I should be more compassionate . . . at least in theory.
Whe seemingly weak minds of the rabid clique sorts must be REALLLLLLLLLLLLY EXHAUSTED by all that complicated scrolling.
OH, DEAR! And there I traveled all that way to Jerusalem to see Calvary when I could have just gone a ways North of Spokane to see the sacred mount in Calgary! What a surprise!
BTW, I think your point is mostly a straw dog that speaks little to the prophetic or the eschatological issues.
Unless, of course, those dirt and rocks and “vain” genealogies are an integral part of the promises made to the nation of Israel that God has yet to fulfill.
= = =
INDEED.
THX FOR THE PING.
PLENTY TRUE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES TO A POINT . . . HOWEVER . . .
NOTHING OF WHICH, REALLY HAS A THING TO DO
WITH THE PROPHECIES AND ESCHATOLOGY INVOLVED.
Y’all seem to have a huge kennel of straw dogs.
I think you need to be a little more obvious with what you are trying to say to me since I am not sure what you are trying to say exactly.
I’m not accustomed to seeing a lot of absurdities over your screen name.
There are an abundance of Biblical prophecies about the blood children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob AFTER they return to Israel
AFTER the dispersal in 70AD.
Ignoring such and mangling them to terminal absurdities is off the wall as well as horrendously UNBIBLICAL and heretical.
Thank you so much Mountain Man. I knew there was scripture to back up the concept of the “Rapture,” so I’m not sure I understand the person(s) trying to say this is not true. I haven’t read this verse in a long time. Guess it’s time to reread Thessalonians. Amen and amen.
INDEED!
THX THX.
WELL PUT.
INDEED.
IN my experience, haughty self-righteous arrogance seems to be a hallmark of the preterists, REPLACEMENTARIANS et al.
Curious, that.
Kind of like they are DETERMINED to put ALMIGHTY GOD in their tiny tidy little box.
Sheesh.
I loved it.
Great chuckle material.
Sorry! I was saying that the rapture is not just a New Testament idea. That there have been 3 raptures already; Enoch, Elijah, and Jesus Christ. So it should come as no surprise that the Church the Body of Christ will be raptured before the wrath of God is poured out.
Now, mountn man, all you have to do is throw half the Bible in the garbage and you, too, can feel better knowing that none of those Daniel and Revelation nasty thingies are actually going to really happen.
We can all discard what God told us and live in a world of cotton candy and butterflies if we just try hard enough.
INDEED.
WELL PUT.
A lot of others seem to feel otherwise.
Regardless, Almighty God is my judge and paymaster.
And the absurd affrontery to even hint—much less so brazenly assert that
ALMIGHTY GOD LIED
WHEN HE PROMISED HIS EVERLASTING PROMISES TO THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB
IS BEYOND SCREAMINGLY OUTRAGEOUS.
The most polite, loving kind of response I can manage is to characterize such hideousness in satirical modes and styles.
It’s quite possible that a horse-whip would be a more fitting response—given Scriptures about the rod of correction etc. Perhaps if such 2 year old thinking were caught early and sternly enough folks wouldn’t be lulled into deceptions sliding them toward hell by such nonsense.
THE VERY IDEA THAT GOD ALMIGHTY WOULD LIE ABOUT HIS EVERLASTING PROMISES TO HIS BEST BUD!
SHEESH!
IF GOD WOULD LIE ABOUT THAT, HOW CAN HIS PROMISES OF ETERNAL SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST’S BLOOD BE WORTH ANYTHING???
WHAT AN OUTRAGE!
Also, the rapture is not new in the Bible. Enoch, Elijah, and Jesus Christ were all raptured.
INDEED.
THANKS FOR SAYING SO.
I do try to offer light etc.
I also try hard to characterize hideous affronts to God and Scripture as hideous affronts to God and Scripture. The wise are well warned thereby.
I guess.
