[quote who="Humility" reply="52" id="3175303"]If anyone desire enter life, I would listen (obey) Word of Yahweh, and Messiah rather than church and even Paul's writing(peter said Paul's writing is hard to understand and people mess up and easy misunderstand) , chruch often making mistake, error, even teaching a lie they do not know it. Look up His Word, rather than listen speaking from men in church as they are not to be trusted easy .[/quote]

[quote who="Jythier" reply="51" id="3175140"]You should be able to find the Revelation's 20 sermon on the website. We just went through it recently. [/quote] Hi Jythier, So, then it should be easy for you to summarize how your pastor explains Revelation 20:4-6 (referred to in point 11 : "What We Believe" ? @ Pine Ri

[quote who="Jythier" reply="50" id="3174982"]Well, okay, I misspoke. The Catholic church has a lot of extrabiblical stuff going on that they consider to be as important as the Bible doctrinally, whereas we do not. Also, I used to listen to Calvary Radio with Pastor Chuck Smith.[/quote] No harm. Extremes are always a danger! SOLO vs SOLA Scriptura is certainly a problem that was well covered by Keith Ma

[quote who="Jythier" reply="45" id="3174882"]Rick Warren? No, Rick Nohr! The pastoral staff at my church attended Dallas Theological Seminary, at least 2 of them did, and some continue to, so a lot of stuff I learn about comes from there, where people actually read the Bible and interpret it instead of relying on things outside of the Bible to interpret it.

[quote] Yes, I've read and underlined a good many parts of Currie's appendix on hyperpreterism. Currie's book is dyn-o-mite! All 486 pages! The Apostles' Creed teaches the coming of Christ to earth in only 2 events. The first at the Incarnation and Christ's second glorious coming at the end of the world to judge the living and the dead.

[quote] Quoting Jythier, He's not done with Israel, [/quote] [quote lulapilgrim, You are so right. God's not done with the Jews. He sent His Church to complete His mission to convert them and be baptized that's exactly what St.Peter did beginning in Jerusalem.

[quote] Quoting AERYCK, reply 15 My own studies of the whole Bible have led me to conclude that there is not going to be a rapture (Edit Add: at least the way that some pre-millennialists describe it) and that the coming of Jesus will coincide with and end time resurrection similar to that taught in the Old Testament.

Thanks for your reply Lula. It's a little too late to reply but I wanted to thank you for sharing your insights and am going to enjoy reading them and thinking them through in the morning. Peace, Aeryck.

[quote who="Jythier" reply="26" id="3172889"]That doesn't sound like Christ coming. It sounds like him staying. We meet HIM in the clouds. That's not coming. And then, after that, more things are going to happen... I don't see how this makes sense... Christ is going to come and rule on earth for 1000 years. That's what the Bible says and I'm not inclined to believe that it was metaphorical in that context or meaning anything short of 1000 year

[quote who="Jythier" reply="25" id="3172825"]So... what do you believe here?[/quote] It's still very much a work in progress and I'm largely indecisive but I don't intend to sit on the fence and say something like 'I'm a Panmillennialist' and it'll all pan-out or reboot in the end. I think the bold section of the following quote pretty much summarizes my own thoughts thus far: &nb

Keith A Mathison author of "Postmillennial - Post Millennialism - An Eschatology of Hope wrote the following in response to a review of his book: ’I don’t know that I would say of myself that I’ve “undergone some theological changes.” My interpreta

The dominion that Adam first received and then lost by his fall will be restored to redeemed man. God’s people will then have a long rei

So, I'm 54 and thinking. So what're your thoughts/beliefs about the rapture? (and end times) I get that it's quite a modern development born out of the schismatics and combined with the anti-Orthodox position held by many Protestants has pretty much gone and developed into a frightening tale that is more an invention of bad exegesis than anything worth believing etc. Peace, Aeryck. 'The Rapture doctrine, which was the invent

[quote who="InfoGeek" reply="11" id="1392444"]But, if I understand the belief of the end times, there is still a chance after the rapture for those behind to be converted. If that is the case, would it not make more sense to stay behind and help them on their way, or at least make their last days on earth bearble? Also, why would you leave such an amazing show. Never before seen. Chaos loose on the world. the rampant fury of a vengeful deity. IG[/quote] <

Wow, how the years have passed us by and these EA's have risen and fallen and yet still remain a very real presence though as I read through a section of Prof. Richard Dawkins' book "The Devil's Chaplin" ( BBC Coverage ) I discovered that he too much like the late Stephen J
