The religious humanism form of post-mil teaching died out after the attempt to bring in the kingdom of God by the civil authority. First declaring slavery in itself is sin and it must take war to stop it; then came government takeover of the schools; then woman's movement, and of course...

Studying the deceit of the dispensationalist Scofield Study Bible footnotes, is what eventually made me a postmillennialist The kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven are different, according to Scofield on Matt 6:33 " The kingdom of God is to be distinguished from the kingdom of heaven (See...

You are taking completely out of context what the typical evangelical of today means when he speaks of the "rapture". The word "rapture" in the old commentaries merely refers to the taking up the saints at the last day, those dead and in the grave rise first and those alive meet them in the air...

Where do dispensationalists find the imaginary 7-year tribulation? A more accurate depiction of the 70 weeks by chart: http://www.geocities.ws/gacbloomington/70wksdaniel.gif The dispensationalists invent a 7-year tribulation in our future by separating, without any basis to do so, the 70th...

"Q: What is the rapture? A: There are many Christians who believe that the second coming of Jesus Christ will be in two phases. First, He will come for believers, both living and dead, in the “rapture” (read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). In this view, the rapture—which is the transformation and...

After reviewing the responses to my post-mil post, I see I'll have to connect the dots and expose the oft-repeated canard of the dispensationalists that they are consistent literalists. The prophecies in the book of Revelation in 1:1,3 & 22:6,10 clearly state that the prophecies "must shortly...

The world the disciples heard Jesus speak to in Matt. 24:14 is obviously the same world Paul refers to, the known world, the Roman Empire and lands bordering that. So, what Jesus said was fulfilled by the time of Paul. So, Matt. 24:14 has been completed, fulfilled if language means anything at...

Do you not realize how silly your last sentence sounds speaking of the Holy Spirit inspired words of the Apostle Paul?

Yes, the word "rapture" is used in older commentaries prior to dispensationalism, but not in the same sense as the dispensationalists. No, Revelation 20 does not refer to two resurrections. There is nothing there about a second resurrection. "But the rest of the dead lived not again until...

BDAG kosmos in Rom. 1:8 - planet earth as a place of inhabitation, the world oikoumene in Matt 24:14 - the earth as inhabited area, exclusive of the heavens above and nether regions, the inhabited earth, the world In the BDAG, the actual definition is given in italics. Your argument falls...

So, the Apostle Paul was in error in Rom. 1:8 and Col. 1:23? For myself, I will believe the Bible.

I'm aware from the etymology that "rapture" comes from the Latin. Keep in mind that the Roman Catholic Douay-Rheims translates the Latin into English and it does not use "rapture" in the text you give: "For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto...

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matt 24:14, KJV) That was certainly fulfilled when the Apostle Paul was living: "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken...

"Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." (Matt 2:2, KJV) Scofield - "The King" is one of the divine titles Psalms 10:16 and so used in the worship of the Church 1 Timothy 1:17 but Christ is never called "King of...

"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 unto his servant John:" (Rev 1:1, KJV) The word "signified" is "G4591 σημαίνω semaino (see-mai'-nō) v." and Strong's says it...

John Gill (1697-1771), Baptist Historic Premil does not take Ezekiel 40-48 literally, nor does he insert a 2500+ year gap between the 69th and 70th week in Daniel. Inserting a non-existent gap is a corruption of God's word and is only done to fit a man-made scheme of prophecy. In the...

Adam Clarke, (1762-1832) Methodist Commentary. This being the 3rd representative of Baptists, Presbyterians and Methodists from the past. All three men of God were post-millennial. "Both these parables are prophetic, and were intended to show, principally, how, from very small beginnings...

"Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out." (John 12:27, 31, KJV) "But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom...
