I agree with that. I don't know anything about this "Clear Truth" conference, but they lose some credibility by featuring the notorious "Cussing Pastor" Mark Driscoll. For those not familiar with Mark, here are some links...

There is a significant difference in Bible interpretation, between (1) those who hold that Christ came to establish a spiritual kingdom and that He succeeded, and (2) those who believe that Christ came to establish an earthly kingdom and He failed. I hold to the first position, while some...

What earthly kingdom? Jesus did not come to establish an earthly kingdom. "When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone." - John 6:15. "My kingdom is not of this world." - John 18:36 In John...

2 Samuel 7:12-17: No "dual fulfillment" here - just a continuation of the fulfillment of the prophecy that the house that God established on behalf of Solomon would always exist. Joel 2/Acts 2: There is no basis for saying Joel's prophecy was not completely fulfilled by the events of Christ's...

No. WESTMINSTER CONFESSION OF FAITH, 1648: "The true and full sense of any scripture . . . is not manifold, but one." MILTON TERRY: "The moment we admit the principle that portions of Scripture contain an occult or double sense we introduce an element of uncertainty in the sacred volume, and...

I don't recall insisting there will not be a thousand year reign of Christ on the earth. So I can't really explain why I insist on that, when I have no recollection of insisting or even bringing up that issue at any time on this forum. You have a habit of bringing up these rabbit trails, like...

Church Fathers who taught that the fulfillment of Christ's prophecy of the "abomination of desolation" was fulfilled in 70 AD: JOHN CHRYSOSTOM: "For this it seems to me that the abomination of desolation means the army by which the holy city of Jerusalem was made desolate." AUGUSTINE: "Luke...

Don't have a cow, man.

Where does the Bible teach that "there will be a Temple before the Lord returns?" Since there is no Temple now, does that mean that the Lord's return is not imminent? If the Lord's return is not imminent and He cannot return now because there is no Temple, then why all this hoopla and...

Biscuit, you didn't answer my question. Where does the Bible say that if a red heifer is identified and/or sacrificed in Jerusalem, that is a sign that the Rapture/Second Coming is near? The articles I have read about the red heifer over the years all say the same thing, that belief that the...

What does the appearance of a red heifer have to do with the coming of the Lord? Where in the Bible does it teach that when a red heifer is identified, this is a sign of the Rapture and/or Second Coming? Show your work. "We also know that for the first 1,800 years of Church history, virtually...

Breaking news - President Trump has just announced that Israel and Hamas have signed "Phase One" of the peace agreement. So does this start the Final Countdown to the Rapture? We're leaving together, but still, it's farewell And maybe we'll come back to Earth, who can tell? I guess there is no...

Since it appears that I have been demoted to a mere "professing believer," I won't venture an opinion on this, but here are some comments from more reputable sources: "I think one of God's major personality characteristics is mercy. And I think that's the reason it [the Second Coming] hasn't...

Okay, since there is concern that I may not believe that Jesus is coming to earth again, here is what I believe, from the 1833 New Hampshire Baptist Confession of Faith: "XVIII. Of the World to Come We believe that the end of the world is approaching; that at the Last Day Christ will descend...

Zechariah 13:8-9 is commonly cited by those who believe that 2/3 of all Jews must die in a future Great Tribulation period. Liberal Protestants, Roman Catholics, Jews and Muslims are aware that evangelical Christians believe such a thing, and they think we are nuts for teaching this. I think...

One reason why so many dispensationalists oppose and warn against any peace agreement between Israel and the Arabs is because they have been teaching that "there can be no peace in the Middle East until Christ returns." Any peace treaty or agreement between Israel and Arabs would tend to...

"Give Me that End-Time Religion" Cries of warning of terrible danger posed by Middle East peace are nothing new - any time that anyone proposes any sort of peace agreement that might benefit Israelis and Arabs in the Middle East, the dispensationalists rally against it...

I hold earned Master of Theology and Doctor of Philosophy in Religion degrees, and my master's thesis and doctoral dissertation have been posted on the Internet and translated into foreign languages. This is typical dispensational dogma, and it is unscriptural. Christ's reign over all things...

You say none of these events, even when peace treaties were signed, were the right kind of events to start the countdown, but if Trump's peace proposal is signed, that will start the countdown. Please explain your rationale for asserting this. Show your work. Admittedly, for non-dispies like...
