LOL. It's not "alleged" if it has been set down in writing for 2000 years. With a minimal effort, an openminded person can find it easily on the internet where it's there for all to see. Even Martin Luther and the "Reformers" had recourse to them and cited them frequently.
Your whole Bible interpretation house of cards is built on speculation and hearsay...Then that leaves you with nothing more than YOUR own fallible personal interpretation of the Bible.
LOL. I haven't offered any interpretation at all, let alone my "whole Bible interpretation"!
Sure you have.
You keep putting up your interpretation on end times events and the return of Jesus for all to see.
Additionally, you accept the Catholic religion interpretation as valid, which means that you agree with it since it matches yours.
LOL! Those who think an eclipse is a sign need to know that we can predict eclipses way out in the future...and it will get a LOT worse before Jesus returns...by then, these will seem like the good old days...
They believe He came already ... in 70 AD ... and we are living in the millennium now.
I gotta say ... if this is the kingdom ... I'm very disappointed.
Demar is a date setter ... he just retroactively sets the Second Coming date in 70 AD.
I still have two cheap booklets “Why the Rapture will be in 1988! along with other books dealing with the End Times. One claimed nuclear war with Israel in 1985! another 50 year old book claiming the Rapture “would be in your life time!” Another declaring the End Times were upon us 30 years ago. That book eventually rotted and fell apart waiting.
Yet the Bible clearly states that No Man will know when that will be. Jesus himself said “Will he find FAITH when he returns?” indicating a non-Christian world. Maybe it is like LOT at Sodom, The LORD said “I will not destroy it for ten righteous people...” But the world seems to have far less righteous people every decade.
As I look at the state of the World today I often long for the End Times. Then a family walks by with little children and I instead pray..”Dear LORD, Give them a chance to make a decision for you. Amen.”
Amos 5: 18Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD! What will the Day of the LORD be for you? It will be darkness and not light. 19It will be like a man who flees from a lion, only to encounter a bear, or who enters his house and rests his hand against the wall, only to be bitten by a snake.
20Will not the Day of the LORD be darkness and not light, even gloom with no brightness in it?
Pimping yet another blog site? How many do you have??
You have various and often contradictory opinions from various ECFs. Ya know, for a group that claims an existence of 2000 yrs youâd think theyâd been able to dogmatically define more than a very small number of texts.
I tell my boys this, “I’m not necessarily afraid of dying because I know where I’m going, it’s more about how I die. I’d much rather go quickly and in peace, rather than in a violent end or a prolonged illness.
The Church Fathers Didnât Teach Sola Scriptura (Part 1)
Grumpa - I cannot wait for my Crown of Righteousness!
2 Timothy 4:8
We donât have anxiety meeting our King.
We long for it!
You Preterists on the other hand will have much to answer for in your false teachings, scoffing, and mocking of The Lordâs Return.
If this is the âkingdomâ, weâre all in trouble!
These people donât even think about what they are saying and posting just to keep their blogs and egos going.
They still refuse to answer how Nero (their AC) pinned his âMarkâ on Mayans, Chinese, and Pacific Islanders to enforce Revelation 13.
Itâs childish to even debate them with their view of reality.
Amen!
Donât ever let these naysayer heretics rain on your expectation of Our Lord taking us home!
He will!
He said so!
This is our Eternal Hope!
Amen!
And that Crown of Righteousness to go with it..
