That is your personal opinion, so I leave you to your own personal hell

It's a non issue - you propose that sinners live eternally separated from God. The bible says they suffer the second death. What you propose and contend attributes cruelty on God's part.

That would mean Jesus made up a story knowing it wasn't true - maybe rethink your position. - posted once again

"“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: ..." Isaiah 1:18a (ESV) God gave us the ability to reason and consider, and in these last days He has given us of His very character. You have intellectualized and rationalized God as a monster. Oz, do you need my other post spelled out...

"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Rev 20:14 (KJV) The "hell" cast into the lake is the same word as the "hades" the rich man was in. That's Bible, too.

Hi, Biblewriter, Merry Christmas :-) As to your question - we both know the wicked go to church, too. "'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?' "'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the...

I suppose if only partial preterists, by definition, answered your OP all the answers would be the same. That's likely one of the reasons I offered my thoughts - bit of diversity. :-) No apology needed - I see you were not being sarcastic.

Are you being sarcastic? I said I didn't know what I'd be classed as - but I do know what preterism is and I think any sort of "ism" or "ist" label is foolishness.

Hi, LittleLambofJesus, I really don't know what I'd be classed as, but figured I have an answer applicable to your question. As I see it, the following verses state what we can expect next, the previous already being fulfilled: Mat 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days...

Thanks, dfw69. In both sections the angel is identified as one of the seven angels with one of the seven vials of wrath - that's what led me to wonder.

Rev 17:1 "And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great harlot that sitteth upon many waters" Rev 19:10 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do...

Thank you everyone for your feedback to my OP. I've come to the conclusion that I don't have enough information to support my speculation that the falling away may be related to the reformation, but I'm also not persuaded on a falling away yet-to-happen position either. This thread has taken...

I'll really have to give this some thought. I had always considered those who receive the mark, name, or number were still able to repent and be cleansed of it. I think where I'm having difficulty is that I'm persuaded it's a past/current event rather than future. By that I mean the falling...

Douggg, thank you for sharing your research. There's definitely a lot to digest - I'll need to take more time going over this. What I do know at this point, though, is that there isn't a scriptural reference to any "the" Antichrist - not in the original text. 2Th 2:3-4 "Let no man...

Hi, TPeterY, and thank you for your feedback. I must admit I'm finding another issue with logistics. If the church is gone and there's only the unrighteous remaining, aren't they already fallen away? I agree on your recounting of what people will be like in the last days - I consider...

Thank you again, bibletruth469. You have an unassuming way of presenting ideas that really help me to take notice :) I'm not able to resolve a rapture to Rev 4:1 because John starts the vision in 4:2 - and as that vision unfolds there is no one found worthy to open the seals in Rev 5:3...

I agree that the devil is against Christianity, and I consider he uses the religion to be against it. There's an interesting page, "Victims of the Christian Faith" Christian Atrocities | Victims of Christianity | Catholic Church Inquisition | Crusades I'm not sure about the videos or...

Thank you, bibletruth469. I have wondered the same thing. It does somewhat conflict with my understanding that the wheat harvest is the rapture (not sure if I would use that word, but for familiarity) - the event of the 6th seal. I'm thinking Paul was discussing the deception that, if it were...
