Signs Of The Times - For The Rapture Or Second Coming?

[webdog]

Actually webdog I was like Adam and Eve in the Garden, innocent, until I came across dispensationalists on this Forum. I detected a quality among them I was unfamiliar with, particularly among Christians. I soon learned that quality [word loosely used] was prideful arrogance. They believe that everyone who does not agree with their false doctrine is either liberal, ignorant, think that God lies, and other assorted evils.

I'm one of those, and I don't believe what you state, so now you can quit using "everyone". You paint with too broad a brush.

Big man webdog,

I never would have posted on this tread save the fact you made this statement..

...then you admit you have trolled by picking a random sentence to respond to. You don't know the contex of my statement, nor the context to which I responded. I don't disagree with anything you posted, so you are basically wasting your time.

For future reference, refer to me as webdog or Mike.

Scripture Please!:wavey:

Mr 13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

And you can read this verse as if it was an "oath" sworn by God to fulfil the above.

31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

I thought we were already living with Jesus Christ, true believers that is.

Colossians 1:27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Spiritually yes He is living with in me, after the rapture we will be living with Him both spiritually and physcially. Jesus Christ is still God. I'm sure He could explain that better than I can. He can be with in us and standing right beside us at the same time.

...then you admit you have trolled

I have no idea what you mean by trolled. I seen nothing from you or others that would cause concern in my book, till you said Christ is not with us. That my friend is error

by picking a random sentence to respond to.

It was no such thing. This is the 2nd time you have claimed this. How can you know what I have read and have not, other than to ask me. The fact is, I have read the full thread. This was not a random pick, but rather a sight of true error.

Lets review..

To which you replied on the very next post..post number 101...

We are "in" Christ...not "with" Christ. We will someday be "with" Him.

http://www.baptistboard.com/showpost.php?p=1339504&postcount=101

In this post it is clear you want to distinguish between the phrase "in Christ" and "with Christ". You say in the post that we are not "with" Christ, but someday will be with Him.

OldRegular pointed out your error...

The Scripture I posted states unequivocally: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. If Jesus Christ is in me He is certainly with me don't you think. So argue with the Apostle Paul when you meet him.

Which is found in the very next post...post number 102.

To which you reply...

I'm a big man.....
and....
No need to argue with Paul about this one. Nothing like taking figurative language literally

you also said..

I doubt His physical body is in you, too.

It should be noted that no one but you has said physical body applies to this. Thereby you see it as "figurative language"

This can be found on the next post by you and also the next post in the tread..number 103

http://www.baptistboard.com/showpost.php?p=1339527&postcount=103

It is at this point that I make my 1st post. It was not based on one post as you have said. It was in full context as I have said. You were showen your erro and you still rejected it.

At this point I bring yet another verse to the table to show your error in hopes that you would see your error.

I posted...

2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

found in post 104.

Somehow you still see this as figurative....

I'll stick with it too, I just see the difference in figurative language compared to literal. Of course God dwells within us, and Christ is God. This is not the point being made. In the future God will live with man in New Jerusalem. I'll stick with the Bible on that.

Where does Christ's physical body fit inside you...or do you not think He ascended to the Father in a real physical body?

Which is error.

You don't know the contex of my statement, nor the context to which I responded.

I feel I do mike...

I don't disagree with anything you posted,

Does this mean you agree with all my post...even those on election...or just my last post?

so you are basically wasting your time.

not at all. Others read these post than you and I. For others to read the error and the error exposed helps all readers.

For future reference, refer to me as webdog or Mike.

good deal mike.

Good post #125 Jarthur001!

In post #49, I say:

Thus Matthew 24:4-14 describes all of the
church age even up to this time.
Matthew 24:4-14 describes the church age.
The signs of Matthew 24:4-14 are signs
that the church age continues
NOT that the Second Coming is near..

In fact, the only sign that the pre-tribulation rapture2 is closer now then it was before - time has passed & the pre-tribulation rapture2 is in the future.

good deal mike.

Rev. 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, (A) for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea existed no longer. (B) 2 I also saw the Holy City, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, (C) prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. (D)

3 Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: [a]
Look! God's dwelling [b] is with men,
and He will live with them.
They will be His people, (E) and God Himself will be with them and be their God.


'nuff said.
