I'm writing to expand on this earlier post/reply about the word "church". It may be good to expand the post I'm relying to in order to catch the connection. 1828 Webster's entry of "church" gives 9 uses or definitions for "church" one of which is: "6. The worshipers of Jehovah or the true God...

NO! I am not talking about his tweets. His repeated uses of full words of B.S. and F..... It is so low-class and unbefitting a leader. I'm being more and more turned off by so many Trump endorsed Republicans. It surely is low class and crude to use the sexual slang BDE (had to go to...

As I'm post-mil, not a-mil, I'll just give a link to a historical look at that. Because of the similarity in some ways between a-mil and post-mil, both may claim many of the quotes listed: https://postmillennialworldview.com/2019/05/03/preterism-in-history/ It is the writings of the apostles...

Dispensationalism is an autonomous approach to Scripture, the true "private interpretation". Directed at ALL dispensationalists, not anyone in particular, concerning Acts 1:6-8: 7 Baptist - Charles Haddon Spurgeon "They had not got rid of their old ideas concerning a kingdom visible among...

I do not see a physical deliverance in that passage. You put in bold text about the enemy and I do not find what you seem to imply. The enemy I find different in the NT - "The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels." (Matt...

You are correct, I should not have placed "heaven" in that answer.

Not "private interpretation" at all. It seems you are the one insisting upon literal when the book is so symbolic in language. "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel...

The apostles often misunderstood things, so I pay more attention to what was said or NOT said by Jesus Christ. There is no prophecy in the NT about the kingdom being restored to Israel. It was clearly stated to be taken away, but nothing about it being restored to Israel. You must read that...

Is Dispensationalism the increase of knowledge in the traditional translation of Daniel 12:4, at the time of the end? When it is pointed out to a modernist prophecy believer that his system is a radically new idea that can't be supported in Scripture or church history, you'll sometimes hear a...

I'm not Lutheran but I like to get input from different Study Bibles. I have very conservative study Bibles, very liberal ones, RCC, the study Bible of the Orthodox Church as well and the Oxford Study Bibles and MacArthur. As to Lutherans, I do like the An American Translation by William F...

I take this as speaking of glory, heaven, the eternal home of God's people from both the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. So, you have the Old Covenant children of God represented by the tribes of Israel, and the New Covenant children represented by the apostles. Since "church" is not truly...

Who spiritualizes, makes symbolic or interprets as a figure of speech in the following passages? I agree with Dispensationalists that Daniel 9, Matthew 24 & Revelation refer to the same time period. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the...

Beckie, you and I have the same memory of the dispensationalists teachings. Your memory is actually better than mine. I had shoved the heresy of dispensationalism so fully out of my mind, I've had to re-look at some of my old notes.

I'll stay with the words of the Holy Spirit inspired Apostle Peter rather than the cafeteria style literalism practiced by dispensationalists. “Fellow Israelites, I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Since he...

On being truly "literal", reading from the KJV "Translators to the Readers", found in the early KJV Bibles: "Lastly, wee have on the one side avoided the scrupulositie of the Puritanes, who leave the olde Ecclesticall words, and betake them to other, as when they put washing for Baptisme, and...

In many ways, as a post-mil, I'm quite similar to the A-mils as to timeline but with more optimism. You mention Luther, and my most trusted Study Bible is the Lutheran Study Bible by the LCMS. I agree with their prophecy charts and how they correct the false teachings of the...

In this day when you hear people talk on and on about prophecy and mention "rapture", they invariably use it as dispensationalists have distorted it.

Thanks for posting that about Scofield. If I ever knew it in the past I've forgotten it. That is what typically the sort of things that come out about the various heretics appearing in the 19th century.

I should add,the idea of "secret is not inherent in the word "rapture: 1828 Webster's RAP'TURE, n. [L. raptus, rapio.] 1. A seizing by violence. [Little used.] 2. Transport; ecstasy; violence of a pleasing passion; extreme joy or pleasure. Music when thus applied, raises in the mind of the...

I sat under dispensationalist deceit for years and they do indeed teach a "secret" rapture that leaves the lost scratching their heads at what on earth happenedf? Martians come and abduct those missing people?? All your claims to the contrary, you do NOT find a secret rapture in commentaries...
