As Balaam went to call upon God to curse Gods people, so have you done on post #152 with me. But God has turned your curse into a blessing (Matt 5:11).

As Satan, the Accuser of the Brethren, the Prince of Darkness, the devil and Satan used God's word from the beginning (Gen 3:1) until Christ (Luke 4:10-11), so do you.

As your fathers, so you are stubborn and uncircumcised in heart and ears and always resist the Holy Spirit. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who foretold of the coming of Christ, who they also betrayed and murdered.

There you go again with your false accusation.

Saying it more often will not make it true.

If you despise God’s word, that is not my fault.

When you say that what Yeshua says is going to happen in Matthew 24 cannot happen, it is him that you call a liar.

When you say that he said something that he did not say, who is bearing false witness?

false

Really? As usual you don't back up your blank assertions.

As Balaam went to call upon God to curse Gods people, so have you done on post #152 with me. But God has turned your curse into a blessing (Matt 5:11).

What is false about that?

As Satan, the Accuser of the Brethren, the Prince of Darkness, the devil and Satan used God's word from the beginning (Gen 3:1) until Christ (Luke 4:10-11), so do you.

What is false about that?

What is false about is that it has no relevance to our discussion.

What is false about it is that stuffing that nonsequitur line into the thread seems to suffice to you in place of serious thought.

Ditto to all the other irrelevant snippets that you keep posting.

What is wrong with sticking to the subject? Yeshua did not state that nobody would know the time of his coming; he injected a cultural idiom that conveyed to his disciples exactly how they would know.

If you cannot grasp that fact, it doesn't detract a bit from its truth.

Yeshua demands that we watch for his coming, lest he come to us as a thief. He wants us to be like the Thessalonians, to whom he would not come as a thief, because they kept his appointed times.

In case you weren't paying attention, the discussion changed.

The first discussion ended with your failure to reconcile three major scriptural conflicts with your post-trib doctrine.

This current discussion, in which, as usual, you are semi-incoherent, began with your obnoxious, non-sequitur post #152, your obvious sour-grapes way of dealing with your unresolved issues. In response to that post, I listed three things of which you flatly assert, as usual with no support, are "false".

So now you've got six unresolved problems, three from the first discussion and three from this one. But I don't have the time nor do want to try to help you anymore, so you're going to need to go somewhere else, preferably first, to the Lord.

No there was no failure because there are no conflicts in the scripture, but in your own misunderstanding of the scriptures.

There are no unresolved issues. All there is is the typical shock Dispys experience when they realize that there is zero support for their imaginary theology in the scriptures.

I hope you find time to study the scriptures that I posted for your benefit, but that choice is of course your own to make. You deeply need to do this to help yourself to the real word of Yehova instead of the sweet lies of your local nicolaitan in the pulpit.

Especially, it must be noted that there are no conflicts in scripture, and what you see as conflict is just a need for more literal reading of the word instead of articles by dispy doodles.

>> “post #152” <<

Pre-trib rapturism is the reason that Matthew 7:23 is in the Bible.

So say you. Your continued and insistent unsupported flat assertions and non-sequitur, conclusory, and irrational Biblical interpretations in your flights of fancy and mean-spirited attacks are a waste of my time.

You've got six unreconciled issues among all of your sputterings here, and I'm not going to continue to engage with you as the list of your convolutions continues to grow.

Go tell it to someone else, but I pity whoever that might be.

Do yourself and your family a big favor: Study, and demand scripture in Whole Chapters for every point.

The Pre-Trib Dispyism will instantly disappear!

Do everybody a favor and learn how to put together an actual argument with scripture-based, not Hebrew idiom-based, or tradition-based, or Navajo code-based, reasons and evidence to support your wild assertions and conclusions.

Your post-trib assertions have failed to reconcile every Scriptural test presented.

Your cursing me in response meets the diabolical similarities noted.

Your flights of fancy take you into denial of Scripture and your own actions.

Lots of luck.

Keep on smokin’ whatever!

Denial of scripture is called Pre-trib Dispensationalism.

I got cured of that dreadful disease years ago through large doses of full context scripture. That made it go away, and replaced it with the gospel of the kingdom.
