Red Room

[~InHisHands~]

I guess if I'm going to start hanging out here I might as well have my own place.
I haven't taken the time to really look at what all the Anabaptists believe but, I think I will do that. For the time being I will leave a link to a short video clip that I thought was very powerful. Keep in mind that I believe in the rapture.

In Christ's Love

Good morning everyone.

 

[MrJim]

Belated goodmorning

It was 13 hours workday today

 

[~InHisHands~]

I used to work close to 10 every day. I was thankful when they went back to an 8 hr. shift.

 

[ACADEMIC]

I can relate to insane work hours...in addition to being "on-call" 24/7. Thank God for vacations!

Red, the video for me just keeps saying "loading" and will not play.

 

[~InHisHands~]

Hmm, it's either down right now or maybe it's used it's bandwidth up for the time being. Try again another time maybe.

[~InHisHands~]

Good night!

 

[ACADEMIC]

Ah, I have seen this video once before. Interesting fiction.

 

[~InHisHands~]

*Pulls on that tongue and laughs*

 

[~InHisHands~]

You never know Academic. If it's true, are you ready?

 

[~InHisHands~]

Well, anyway, I will simply leave these few verses in here. I'd be interested to know what all of you think of these particular verses.

1Cr 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

1Cr 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

 

[ACADEMIC]

I know all those Scriptures.

I used to be pre-tribulational dispensationalist until God interupted me. It utterly transformed my Christian life.

You should consider a partial preterist view sometime. Here is a great book that is online for free: http://www.entrewave.com/freebooks/docs/html/dcpr/dcpr.html

A great place to get an overview is to start at this chapter: http://www.entrewave.com/freebooks/docs/html/dcpr/Chapter10.htm

I'm sorry. What? What's a preterist?

 

[~InHisHands~]

On second thought, nevermind there Academic.

Preterist: 2. (Theol.) One who believes the prophecies of the Apocalypse to have been already fulfilled.

If this is what you believe, then what exactly are we doing here? Just wandering around aimlessly?

 

[~InHisHands~]

Good film.

Thank you.

 

[~InHisHands~]

You believe this has already happened?
a prophetic revelation, esp. concerning a cataclysm in which the forces of good permanently triumph over the forces of evil.
Hmm, I don't see how but, to each their own I guess.

 

[MrJim]

OK I got the message on that one...

I am not sure where the red text is sourced from. Can you help me?

Also, there are very important differences between Preterism and Partial Preterism. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preterist I am a partial preterist.

I would suggest reading an entire book on partial preterism before responding against it. The book I posted earlier is probably the easiest to read book on the subject. And you can't beat the price.

BTW, I am pretty mellow when I share about this issue. I know there are plenty of good Christians regardless of their eschatology.
