***I have a "selective" reading problem.***

I ~KNOW~ this! Whenever confronted with scriptures which contradict your Premillennialism, you run to your pet verse.

Now, address these quotes directly:

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; WHEN HE SHALL COME TO BE GLORIFIED ~IN~ HIS SAINTS, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.



I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead AT HIS APPEARING and his kingdom;

What does communion mean to you?

If you quote scripture you're supposed to include the citation.

"The sign of the Fall isn't your sin, folks --- Jesus took care of your sin. The sign of the Fall is your reversion to THE LAW."



Evidence of this ALL over FR

[Matchett-PI]

"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them."

And what religious Christian FOOLS (legalists) don't realize, is that if they want to revert back to the law --- they must revert back to the whole law and continue to do ALL THINGS which are written in the book of the law to do them".

A half-way "reversion to the law", ain't gonna get it, which some may realize --- since they advocate bringing all that stuff back. LOL

"I don't have a reading comprehension problem."

You cannot comprehend what you don't read!

If your going to get into these discussions, xzins, then you best read the responses given you. You might just learn something!

This one was the right length so I read it. I don't read long posts. At best I skim them looking for answers to the questions I've asked. Short is good.

Constructive Criticism Alert

"At best I skim them looking for answers to the questions I've asked. "

Not intending to take a "cheap shot", I must confess that this might be why you continually look like a bafoon! Really!

This doesn't mean that I don't think that things are going to get real bad before the return of the King.

From what I understand the Return of the King will be on December 17, 2003.

4.) The world will cease to respond to the Gospel (II Timothy 4:3-4). Cross-reference with the fact that Satan will be loosed from the Crucifixion-Binding to once again exercise a Dominion of Deceit over the Gentile Nations (Revelation 20:3,7).

Thanks for your distillation OP, *hic*. ;^)

You say that once Satan is loosed that the world will cease to respond to the Gospel. What did Satan blind the world to before he was bound?

I guess we could describe "the Gospel" as God's truth about Salvation. Would you make the case that Satan was keeping the world from responding to God's truth about Salvation pre-Calvary?

[xzins]

I don't really worry about your opinions a lot. If you want things read (by me, at least) then make them short and to the point. If you worked for me, I'd zing you for inability to summarize your views.

[ksen]

Don't you mean you'd "xzing" them?

[xzins]

I see you've been reading RnMom again? XzinG!!!

[Frumanchu]

Excellent, thought-provoking post. Reflects my personal views on the subject.

***If you quote scripture you're supposed to include the citation.***

Are you a ~teacher~ and you don't even recognize when scripture is quoted to you, even when I clearly indicate this in these following posts under consideration:


A little of an ~EPISTLE~ you should acquaint yourself with: #494

Here is some more of that ~HEBREWS~ letter which you are ignoring and actually boasting that you don't read: #497

Now, address these ~QUOTES~ directly: #500,501

Perhaps this explains why earlier you called a direct quotation of scripture "non-scriptural". I'm being serious now, and I don't intend any offense for I have a learning problem, but have you ever been tested for your inability to read long posts?

Perhaps this also explains why you called the words of Isaiah 65:22 a "lie from the pit of hell."

[Z in Oregon]

Why do you believe that Revelation is the real deal, when in fact it is the heretical rantings of a single madman, who wrote down his drug induced dreams?
