The Rapture: Perhaps The Most Important Piece Of Prophecy For Us To Understand
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/4221617/posts
While I am not a preterist this article is spot on.
Without the promise of the rapture, I’ve heard no one say, “maranatha. Lord come.”
God made unconditional promises to Israel.
Then he withdrew them?
I guess God could do that with justification by faith in Christ.
You’re saved from Hell, then you’re not?
The Bible is to be understood as one understands other writings and communications. That means that context determines if something is taken literally, symbolically or a it’s a figure of speech. People do this all the time in every day communications.
God wrote his word to be understood. The Word’s meaning is not dependent on subjective interpretation.
#4 is just a flat out lie.
NOBODY demands that the entire Bible be taken LITERALLY.
That is a false accusation lobbed out at Bible believing Christians that has NO basis in reality. That accusation is simply used to discredit those who accept the Bible as God’s inspired Word as being Truth, since it is breathed out by God.
Where to start.
This writer does not know anything about the OT prophets or dispensationalism.
He distorts and puts words in his opponents’ mouths.
If your going to start a discussion, at least begin with an honest description of the other view, and have a disciplined hermeneutic.
Many thanks for the post!
When did the dispensationalism begin to be taught?
Was it Darby?
Good article. Sane and pragmatic. Definitely calibrated to bring out the crazies!
