The silence in most churches regarding our “blessed hope” makes our expectation all the more difficult to maintain. On top of that, many of our Christian friends and family members believe it’s irrational to regard the Rapture as something that might happen anytime soon or even in our lifetime. Many in our churches think we are crazy for believing that there is such a thing as the Rapture or a seven-year Tribulation.
In spite of the long wait and scoffing that comes my way, I remain convinced that imminency is not only incredibly important for today, but also an essential aspect of our walk with the Savior.

And you'd be wrong in your assertion.
Also, Cyrus Scofield was NEVER a SDA or had any association whatsoever with that church. Took over for EGW? Are you serious?
What a ridiculous argument....and I'm being generous with the use of the word argument.
Do you know what “Dynamic Equivalency” is?
Yes. And I avoid those translations.
One Greek verb, the meaning of which, would cover an entire page. Choose the word you want to use out of all of them. DE means there is no direct meaning of a word from one language to another so the closest meaning is used thereby causing people to misconstrue what the original passages mean.
Please list the authors of a Rapture theory prior to say: 1790. And the church they were members of.

No, he was not.
Sad.
That you have no idea what you’re talking about?
I just proved you wrong on everything you said. You should be ashamed.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Saying "No, he was not." (post #106) is NOT "proof."
Game. Set. Match.

NOT SDA, and never was.
But he’s in the camp though.
Even you cannot admit that he was NEVER SDA?
Didn’t say he was....but he’s in the camp though.
Like Dispensationalists are in Satan’s camp? Like that?
Why can’t you address the specific question in post 94? Why won’t you answer it? Edward Irving either translated Lacunza’s book into English, or he didn’t. Why are you purposely dodging the question?
Why does Christianity have so many denominations?
Followers of Jesus span the globe. But the global body of more than 2 billion Christians is separated into thousands of denominations. Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Apostolic, Methodist — the list goes on. Estimations show there are more than 200 Christian denominations in the U.S. and a staggering 45,000 globally, according to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity.
I’d be careful listening to a poster who denies the duly elected pope of his/her denomination...whichever that one is.
So what if it was translated.....big whoop.
