***You don’t think??? You forgot to read the words: “in the which” in the following:
“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night in the which the heavens shall pass away...”
Kind of like Adam who died not at the beginning of his 1000 year day but at the end of it, but it was still during that 1000 year day of God.***
So much for the plain literal meaning of words. It is amazing how quickly Dispensationalists jump off their own bandwagon when they have to defend their theology. Also, in this theology you have invented, you still have to have the thousand years literally be a thousand years. Therefore, the disollution cannot happen until the conclusion of that, yet we have Peter here confessing that it must happen, accoring to you, within that timetable. Ergo, the only time it could happen is at the very end.
So much for coming as a thief in the night.
John to Steve: Better watch out for the coming of the Lord like a thief when the elements melt. We gotta repent first.
Steve: Isn’t he already here in Jerusalem?
John: Maybe it is not a literal coming.
Steve: Maybe we don’t have to literally repent, either.
***Glad I could help and I was able to do so without asking a 5th grader —***
You do realize that everyone around you is laughing at you for the way you are acting.
Oh, Is that your problem??? Well Peter clearly says that the day "comes" [begins] as a thief in the night but it ends with a bang.
You do realize that everyone around you is laughing at you for the way you are acting.
And my 5th graders are laughing at the way preterists explain what they read.
