Ah, the old ‘see if we can bait a response we can ridicule’ approach. well, Hank, you can deny it all you want but your own posts tell the truth about you: “To say the least, said poster has failed in trying to substantiate that claim” I have not tried to substantiate any claim with ‘an ego pig’. When you purposely mischaracterize it exposes the real spirit that is within you ...
And what have I mischaracterized? Here's your claim (Post 103):
"Not only are there many references in early church writings, but the pre-trib notion is also found early on in church History[.]"
So there's your claim. And I quoted that sentence verbatim (so no mischaracterization on my part). And you made that claim on a discussion/debate forum where one's claims are subject to being challenged. But the moment you got challenged you got whiny and started beating the retreat.
So my merely factual statement that you haven't been able to substantiate your claim (nor even make an attempt) stands as true.
Here's a helpful suggestion. If you don't like having your claims challenged on a public forum, then don't make claims on a public forum you can't defend.
Capiche?
