The same sort of reasoned response, addressing points raised, that we've come to expect.
Bad eschatology has consequences.
Sometimes
when one mucks about with
REPLACEMENTARIANS, PRETERISTS, A-MILS, POST-MILS AND RUN-OF-THE-MILS
on a thread . . .
one has to get one’s hip waders on just for survival’s sake.
It’s pretty routine to then have to muck about in the rain soaked hog-wallow trying to lead some of the little piglets to the dry ground of eschatological sanity and Biblical accuracy.
Sometimes calling hogwash hogwash in the process helps clarity.
Yeah, but the JW’s believe Jesus appeared in 1914. That’s the one they run from most.
Walter Martin was a post-tribber. He and Hal Lindsey got along fine. Lindsey spoke very highly of him several times on his radio show.
and talk about reasoned pretexts put-forth.
***hint: it ain't us "preterist, amil, 'replacementarian'" types that have eschatological beliefs nearly lock step with heretic religions.... I'm just saying.
Thanks.
I’d forgotten that . . . I think I knew it once upon a time. LOL.
Always glad to be of service.
I wonder how high on the
SCALE OF DESPERATION
it would register
when folks are left with
vain, inaccurate, shoe-horned, off the wall
‘guilt by convoluted association’
was their best argument????
That tends to be the case, I’ve been accused of being gnostic, a closet JW, a closet Adventist, and all kinds of stuff for believing in a pre-trib rapture. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, and I don’t call anyone names or try to link them with discredited faiths or theories.
But something about the rapture really ticks some of our brethren off, and makes them behave rhetorically much like our liberal political opponents. Wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Crealry
a numbel of forks heleon do
NOT have PhDs in psychorogy.
I’ve noticed that, too.
What do you think is the root of that phenomenon?
Certain . . . Asian governments are moderately reasonable toward most sorts of Christians
AS LONG AS
THE CHRISTIANS DO NOT PREACH THE 2ND COMING; MIRACLES ETC.
THEN THEY GET VERY HARSH AND PUNITIVE.
Their attitudes of derisiveness seem to be almost identical to that of the REPLACEMENTARIANS et al hereon.
Curious.
I didn’t know you could draw in tongues!
When did you become Pentecostal?
I assume someone from your group will be coming forward with the interpretation since I’m sure no one would
draw in tongues knowing there was no interpretation available . . . violating I Cor 12-14.
tee hee.
LOL.
So it seems.
Does anyone see the probable Israeli attack on Iran as the trigger to the beginning of the end? IE the tribulation? Gog/MaGog?
More than a little plausible.
27) Computer technology. (Revelation 13:7)
Huh?
All reasons begin and end with one word, Obama.
I’d want to examine all the translations . . .
but it seems a bit of a stretch, to me.
There must be some extrapolation construing “power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues and nations . . . “ to somehow involve computers.
It’s quite plausible that it does. But that’s not per se clear in the text by quite a margin.
imho.
The Alien - Nephilim Connection
Having been a lurker on this site for a couple of years, I have seen quite a few threads espousing this theory that aliens are the Nephilim that the Bible speaks of. I have not, however, come across anyone who had this opinion that also backed it up with evidence. So I ask those of you who hold this belief, to tell me why you hold this belief? What intelligent evidence has brought you to this idea that aliens and demons and the Nephilim are one and the same?
As a student of comparative religion, mythology and anthropolgy, I have my own ideas on this, and I can safely say that they do not coincide with this theory. So, I’m asking you to tell me why you think this is the case.
