You belong to a strange cult!
The Revelation is Yeshua’s 5th gospel.
It is literal in its general respects, using figurative language only to better set the scene for its prophecies.
It told the past, and it tells the immediate future in vivid detail to those that have the Holy Spirit.
The foolish term “futurism” in no way describes Darby’s beliefs. Darby was simply confused as to the extent to which Yehova would protect his elect. Take away the pre-trib rapture, and place it back where scripture has it, at the last trump of Yom Teruah, and Darby ceases to matter.
Luther doesn’t matter due to the anti-semitism that he acquired toward the end of his life; his earlier beliefs were closer to reality.
You need to get out of the cult and find Yeshua, the real one, not the Greek Jesus.
“You belong to a strange cult!”
Two things:
You know nothing about me or what I belong to and;
This thread isn’t about me even if you did.
Discussion welcome. Personal attacks you can leave at the door.
“The Revelation is Yeshua’s 5th gospel.”
Certainly an unorthodox view, but matters little one way or another to the discussion at hand.
“It is literal in its general respects, using figurative language only to better set the scene for its prophecies.”
I have no idea what this even means.
“You need to get out of the cult and find Yeshua, the real one, not the Greek Jesus.”
You really need to lay off the personal attacks. It says little about your ability to argue. It says even less about your “Christ-likeness.”
So are you a Seventh Day Adventist?
