I asked if you consider yourself to be Postmil, but you didn't answer that question. It seems that is the case? So, in your view a thousand years figuratively represented about 37 years. And you're comfortable with that? It certainly makes no sense to me. Instead, I would think when the term...

Where do Matthew 24:31 and Mark 13:27 indicate that the ones being gathered from heaven are not the souls of the dead in Christ who have not yet had their bodies raised up and changed? You are not addressing my points. Where does Paul indicate that the sudden destruction he talks about as...

Setting aside that there isn't a "last seven years" period of time taught in scripture, how exactly would someone confuse a long period of time that has been almost 2,000 years so far with a 7 year period of time? Why would that be a concern to you when it's impossible for anyone to equate those...

Do you never read any other English translations or consult any Greek resources? Revelation 19:8 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. The Greek word translated as "wife" or "bride" can be used to describe a...

Of course not. That is the point I've been making, so why would I have a problem with it? Do you have any other ridiculous questions that you'd like to ask?

:mad:

What does that mean? Do you think Peter was writing about a different day of the Lord than Paul was? Of course. But, I don't believe it will be pre-trib.

I don't know what you're talking about. Do you not think that Peter, in Acts 2:16-21, was applying the prophecy that he quoted from Joel 2:28-32 regarding the last days to what was happening on the day of Pentecost? I'm not saying he was implying that the last days only applied to that time, but...

I did what? Can you try to learn to be more specific? Right. That's the type of Jew Paul described in Romans 2:28-29. That doesn't mean that there isn't also outward Jews (Jews who are Jews by way of physical things). No, that is not according to me. That is according to your made up straw...

You are a partial preterist, right? You can be a partial preterist and be an Amil at the same time. Most partial preterists are Amils. So, are you really meaning to say that you are Postmil rather than Amil now?

LOL. I could see that you were just not going to get it, so I decided it's not worth the time going on and on trying to help you get it. Isn't it up to me to decide what I think is worth my time or not? You don't need to take offense if I feel that spending a lot more time on that with no...

This is a confusing analogy. Who represents "True Israel" in your analogy? Your "true biological children"? In Romans 9:6-8, being part of "True Israel" is not based on being biological children or physical descendants of Abraham but rather on being spiritual children of Abraham, so it doesn't...

I believe you are the one shifting things to fit your view. Revelation 19 does not say that the wedding has already occurred at that point no matter what you try to say. It's figurative language, so there's no basis for comparing it directly to a Jewish wedding and wedding feast. There is no...

You seem to have no concept of interpreting scripture with scripture. Yes, it's true that Paul does not specify the scope of the "sudden destruction" he references there. So, how do we determine that? Are we just out of luck and left to speculate? No. We can look at what Peter said about the...

There is no difference between the dead in Christ being gathered from heaven and coming with Jesus in 1 Thess 4:14 and the ones being gathered from heaven in Matthew 24:31 and Mark 13:27. That is what you are missing. Yes, we are first gathered to the Lord in the air and then the destruction...
