No, because I don't believe that the "beginning of birth pangs" did take place after 70 AD. Luke does not say that these signs are the beginning of birth pangs (I noted previously that he did). Matthew does, and Mark does, though Mark does not put a temporal indicator on the next section about...

Your dismissal and derogation of a well-respected CHRISTIAN sister is nothing short of despicable, and your self-righteousness is disgusting.

The quotation below is from Michael S. Heiser's The Unseen Realm (Lexham, 2015), p. 36. The Greek word translated by this phrase is monogenes. It doesn't mean "only begotten" in some sort of "birthing" sense. The confusion extends from an old misunderstanding of the root of the Greek word. For...

You have just made an unsubstantiated assumption. Yes, God separated the light from the darkness, but that was after He said, "Let there be light". There is nothing in the text to indicate that light existed "at the beginning".

We disagree on the implications of the infinitive verb. While it can mean incomplete actions, such as a mortgage payment made to fulfill the requirements of a mortgage, a payment made to fulfill the mortgage is different; it indicates completion. So too, Jesus' words indicate completion, not...

Yes, there is a sequence, yet Jesus was there at the start, at the very beginning, when the heavens and the earth were formed, which means He cannot have come into being when God said, "Let there be light", even if it were a millisecond later.

You cite an article that quotes Ellen White, and you expect me to take you seriously? Dude, get some better sources!

So, on the occasions that our goods and relatives have been taken by force, we chase down and kill the offenders, retrieve that which is ours, and are on our way back, we should give 10% of the goods to the Lord? I'll get right on that.... The passage says nothing about money, Christ, or...

Respectfully, no He did not. He commanded them; He did not "ask", and He did not command 10% of their annual "profits", but a tithe from the land: a tenth (fractional) of the harvest, and every tenth (ordinal) animal. Leviticus 27:30 Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land of...

I normally don't vote in polls, and I don't recall voting in this one, but I do disagree with you, for reasons already stated.

Here is the verse in a few different English translations: ESV: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. HCSB: Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen. KJV: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the...

That contradicts what the text clearly states.

Let's examine your premise, that there are two distinct "See, then flee" events prophesied. In Matthew 24:5-14, Jesus gives an overall summary of coming events: 5. Many false messiahs (Luke 21:8; Mark 13:6) 6. Wars and rumors of wars, but the end is still to come. (Luke 21:9; Mark 13:7) 7...

Again, I disagree. Genesis 1:1-3 NIV In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. v. 3 NASB...

With respect, I must disagree with you, on the basis of John 1:3 (in context): "All things were made through him [Jesus], and without him [Jesus] was not any thing made that was made." (ESV) In other words, God made everything through Jesus, and since God made the heavens and the earth in...

Though Scripture doesn’t actually say anything about America. ;)

Yelling isn't going to convince me of anything... except your limited ability to use reason and logic.

Exactly... but as historical records show, the Christians did flee, and escaped the destruction... exactly as Jesus warned them to do. Why people can't accept that is done and dusted is beyond me.

If stuff hits the fan, are you going to get yourself to Judea, and then flee to the mountains? Probably not. Nor are most other Christians. Of course, if you are, then it makes sense to you. Understanding Scripture means understanding that some things have already happened. It would be...
