what are we Christians to anticipate as we see the day approaching

[Solar]

This is too bad.

I've been following this thread with interest and was hoping for a better ending.

I am familiar with both sides of this argument and was enjoying the banter.

I will make two observations.

1) Always be suspicious of anyone designating themselves as "Reverend".  We all have feet of clay and there are none Reverend except God Himself. 

Someone calling themselves Reverend on this forum is trying to intimidate the reader.

2) I have studied both sides of this argument extensively.  There are wise men of great theological renown on either side.  I do not condemn any of them on their sincere belief and commitment to truth.  I have great respect for those on both sides.  Both sides have strengths and weaknesses.

However, theologically I am convinced that Dadman is fundamentally correct.  I've spent many years on both sides of this debate but cannot embrace the concept that all prophecy has been fulfilled already.  It defies logical exegetics.

I never take sides in Christian debate where conjecture of faith is concerned, it's all opinion anyway, considering none of us truly knows what the future holds.
For all we know, it's already happened and we're all living purgatory, especially when you look at the mess the left has created in removing God from the equation.

But my issue was with the level of immaturity of Dadmans exit from the debate, which appeared more of a concession for someone unable to posit their position.
Too bad, considering were all on the same side.

Did I leave the debate ?? .. no, I BANNED walkstall ... for being a, well okay I apologize for calling him an idiot, maybe I should have used another term like a water-head or dunder-head oh I know, how bout a pea-brain .. lol ...... the kind of un-Biblical crap I got from this so-called "reverend" is the same kind of crap I get from an unbeliever parading as a Christian .. an unsaved individual .... HECK NO Revelation has not begun yet, and the Antichrist (whoever he might be) I believe is ready to emerge probably preceded by his false prophet ... they will deceive many .. they will entrap many < ESPECIALLY those so-called "christians" unfamiliar with the Book of Revelation or even worse render it to the past and therefore irrelevant to this time and age .... open your eyes folks, the time for preaching and teaching God's truth is NOW .. don't let these decievers intimidate you ... the time is at hand and the fields are ripe

Remember Dadman, patience is a virtue.  It is a fruit of the Spirit of God.

There is a right way and wrong way to accomplish most things.

Eph 4:2
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,

Eph 4:3
being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Hello!!  YOU can not BANNED me.  Now you can stop replying if you like.  But like you I have right to say what I like.  There is a God, how we get there is up to us. 

Now if you don't like what I say it give you room to do a lot more preaching on this forum.  Be you right or wrong it up to the reader to decide for themselves.  We are not children we are adults and can think for ourselves be it right or wrong by your way of thinking.   

You need to learn for kroz when I post something that she doesn't agree with she post a reply.  She lays it out for me, I can take it or leave it.  All this is just my way of thinking.

Indeed and I agree ... where was this advice when the "rev" labeled me a "sick, sick, sick individual" / "People like you" ?

You engaged with the "Reverend".  It was your debate, not mine.

You should be able to fight your own battles.  You knew from his "name" what you were up against.  He wasn't interested in learning anything.  He is here to teach only!!

You weren't going to teach him anything and you lost your opportunity to teach other readers anything.  That is unfortunate because I am sure you are theologically astute.

then why is your advice to me and nothing to Rev ?

[kroz]

then why is your advice to me and nothing to Rev ?

Because he is not teachable.  Hopefully, you are.   

[dadman]

Because he is not teachable

lol ... you hear that "rev" ?? ... you're not teachable .. lol .. yall killn me

[walkstall]

lol ... you hear that "rev" ?? ... you're not teachable .. lol .. yall killn me

And you call yourself a man of God.

LOL! You can't ban my Mods. They, on the other can ban anyone they want to, I give them free call.

I understand, but debate, don't just write someone off. To those following the thread, your post appears as if you were unable to debate his points and resorted to childish insults.
That's my entire point.

[dadman]

your post appears as if you were unable to debate his points

really ? ... please clarify what points were unable to be debated

1 Show me where the word rapture is located in scripture.
2 Show me where there is a second and a third coming of Christ.
3 Show me where it says that the anti-Christ is a Catholic Bishop (pope)
4 Show me where it says that Revelation is written for a 21st century audience.
5 Show me where it says that none of this has happened before

Went right over your head I see.
I stated it was your childish post that I took issue with and how you just ended it with total nonsense in a very disrespectful way.
You are not posting to a couple of people, you have an audience in the 10s of thousands, people actually come here to learn, which is what this forum is about, FACTS!
If you disagree with his points, prove him wrong, or simply bow out and tell the individual you agree to disagree.
The Religion forum is held to a higher standard that all other forums on the board, decorum is expected and a manner of respect is first and foremost when discussing the bible.

Now does my response make sense?

[dadman]

your post appears as if you were unable to debate his points

like which ones ? ... I'm curious

[Solar]
