Mark: You're welcome. And thank you for challenging the pre-wrath position. If it will not stand up under scrutiny and examination -- searching the Scriptures to determine whether those things are so -- then I want to know that it won't. I do not want to believe something if it is not true. Your challenges will either reinforce my views or correct them. Either way, I only want to know the truth. Grace to you, Kalos |

Mark: The Pre-wrath position teaches that the second coming (parousia) of Christ will take place sometime between the opening of the sixth and seventh seals of Revelation, which is not the same as knowing the DAY and HOUR. Grace to you, John |

"How can you possibly have expectancy without imminency?" Ask a woman in the first trimester of her pregnancy. Mark: Does a woman who is expecting a baby believe that at "any moment" the baby could be born? Is it likely that at any moment in the nine months of her pregnancy the baby is going to appear? Perhaps you hadn't noticed, but usually I do not engage in lengthy one-on-one debates, especially debates about prophecy. Nothing personal. Grace to you, Kalos |

Luke 21:36 NKJV "Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy[R144] to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man." (FOOTNOTE: F144 NU-Text reads may have strength.) "that you may be counted worthy." 'Older Manuscripts say "that you may have strength.' (Footnote at Luke 21:36, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) I wonder, if this verse pertains to the rapture, then how much strength must one have to be raptured? Good News Translation - Second Edition Be on watch and pray always that you will have the strength to go safely through all those things that will happen and to stand before the Son of Man. Holman Christian Standard Bible® But be alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place and to stand before the Son of Man."

'For the following reasons, this passage in Titus [2:13] cannot support the notion that there are two comings (parousia) of Christ: one for the saints, the "blessed hope" and one for the world, "the appearing of the glory of... Christ Jesus." '1. In Greek grammar, there is a rule known as Granville Sharp's rule, which says in simplified form that if two nouns of the same case are connected by the conjunction 'and' and if the definite article (the) is used preceding the first of the nouns and is not (necessarily) repeated before the second noun, the latter always relates to the same person or event described by the first noun as identical or at least similar. 'By using Grandville Sharp's rule in Titus 2:13, we see that the "and" joins "the blessed hope" and "the appearing of our ... Savior, Christ Jesus". The meaning of the conjunction "and" may be translated "even" or "also". It is therefore to be understood that the two phrases are equal in relationship. In other words, they are not two completely different time and event references, rather, they are both speaking of an event that has a common referent or focal point. 'A literal translation of Titus 2:13 would then be: '"...while we wait for the blessed hope even [the] glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ," '2. In I Peter 1:13, Peter writes: "...fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." Peter understood that the believer realizes his "blessed hope" at the revelation of Jesus. It is interesting that Peter, who surely would have known if there was to be both a time period and a different focus or objective between the Rapture and the Revelation of Christ, did not even hint at such a difference. Rather, he simply says that the hope of the believer is to be realized "at the revelation of Jesus Christ". The conclusion one reaches based on this verse is that the blessed hope of the believer takes place at the same time as the revelation of Christ, the time when Christ comes to rescue the righteous (the rapture) and pour out His wrath on the wicked (the revelation, as per the pretrib definition). 'To use Titus 2:13 as a Scriptural base for establishing a pretribulation Rapture is a weak argument at best. Not only is the Rapture, separated from "the revelation of Jesus Christ", not the intention of the passage, it cannot be hermeneutically substantiated by any other verse in all the New Testament...' ____________________ 'Two more reasons are given in the article at the following website: www.solagroup.org/articles/ faqs/faq_0011.html |

Mark: Although the quote has been provided to me in the past, I did not recall it or have it in mind when I posted what I did about the earliest teaching of the pre-trib rapture.

710 | Fair multitude die without gospel? | Rom 1:20 | kalos | 165522 | ||
MJH: It's always a pleasure for me to exchange ideas with you. I respect your views and appreciate the fact that your posts cause me to think. You write: "She was a Jewish believer who loved the one True God and served Him, prayed to Him, knew His Word and followed it as best she knew how. She did know about Jesus, but in her words, "He hasn't spoke to her yet." As He apparently did for her daughter." In Acts 4 in the NIV we read: 5 The next day the rulers, elders and teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and the other men of the high priest's family. 7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: "By what power or what name did you do this?"...8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the [Jewish] people...12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." What group of people was Peter speaking to here? Were they Jews or Gentiles? Did he not say to the Jews, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved"? Grace to you, Kalos |

711 | An offering for sins is no longer needed | Acts 24:17 | kalos | 165519 | ||
An offering for sins is no longer needed Hebrews 10:15-18 'Having God's Torah written in one's heart and mind necessarily implies that God has forgiven one's sins, so that "an offering for sins is no longer needed." Therefore the readers of this sermon should free themselves from their compulsion to offer animal sacrifices as sin offerings and instead be fully assured of the sufficiency of Yeshua's (Jesus') sacrifice of himself on their behalf. We moderns have no such compulsion, but we too should be convinced of the necessity of blood sacrifice for sin while having assurance that Yeshua's blood sacrifice fulfills that requirement. With this, the author's major argument is completed. 'But the author is very specific in limiting what he says. "An offering for sins is no longer needed" and is ruled out. But the other sacrificial offerings remain part of God's order even after Yeshua's death, as proved by Sha'ul's (Paul's) activity in the Temple at Acts 24:17. With the destruction of the Temple, sacrificial offerings became impossible; but if the Temple is rebuilt, thank offerings, meal offerings, and praise offerings may be offered once again. The author of this letter [to the Hebrews] does not proclaim the end of the sacrificial system in its entirety, only the end of animal sacrifices for sins.' ____________________ (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H.

712 | Is it a sin to be love with your cousin? | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 165460 | ||
Cousin marriage-no Biblical prohibition "Fact: Leviticus 18 lists all forbidden sexual relationships. Cousin relationships are not included. "Fact: God commanded many cousins to marry, including Zelophehad's 5 daughters, Eleazar's daughters, Jacob (who married both Rachel and Leah, first cousins), and Isaac and Rebekkah (first cousins once removed). All were ancestors of Jesus Christ." "There is more than one account of where God put cousins together. Read the following references in their entirety. "Isaac married Rebekkah, his first cousin once removed. Genesis 24:12-51 "Jacob married two of his cousins, Rachel and Leah. I love this story! Genesis chapters 28-29 "Zelophehad's five orphaned daughters were commanded by God to marry cousins. Numbers 36 "Eleazar's daughters each married first cousins, as they were instructed. I Chronicles 23:22 "In the 18th chapter of Leviticus, the Bible provides a lengthy list of forbidden relationships. These laws are the scriptural definition of sexual impurity. Not one mention of cousins, of any degree, is made. "Some would argue that these are all Old Testament references. That is correct. The reason for this is that the New Testament does not specifically address the rules of sexual misconduct, with the exception of fornication, other than to refer you back to the Old Testament laws. "Biblical prohibitions of cousin marriage reside only in the minds of the unlearned." (www.cousincouples.com/info/religion.shtml) |

One thing I, too, would add. Check out these links: www.watchman.org/cat95.htm 'Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA), Washington, DC: The largest Adventist church. Ellen G. White, who claimed to have “the spirit of prophecy,” was an important early leader of the movement and taught a number of distinctive SDA doctrines, including the Investigative Judgment and Sabbatarianism. While the church’s official theology now appears to be generally in the tradition of evangelical Christianity, certain SDA claims and unique doctrines continue to raise questions. These doctrines include the SDA belief that Sunday worship will result in the “Mark of the Beast,” imbalanced teachings on keeping the commandments (baptism, Sabbath observance) that often implies a kind of salvation by works, the “Remnant Church” doctrine that implies that the SDA is or will be God’s only true church, and the doctrine of the Investigative Judgment.

717 | Jesus, the Uncreated Creator? | John 1:3 | kalos | 165375 | ||
Jesus, the Uncreated Creator ____________________ "Never read a Bible verse. That's right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph at least." ____________________ '...With the larger context now in view, you can narrow your focus and speculate on the meaning of the verse itself. Sum it up in your own words. 'Finally, and this is critical, see if your paraphrase makes sense when inserted in the passage. Does it dovetail naturally with the bigger picture? 'Here is an excellent example of how effective this paraphrase technique can be. (...) 'Jesus, the Uncreated Creator 'In John 1:1 the writer states plainly that "the Word was God." In verse three he provides backup support for this claim. John writes, "All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." 'John says the same thing in two different ways for emphasis and clarity: Everything that ever came into being owes its existence to the Word, Who caused it all to happen. If the Word caused all created things to come into existence, then He must have existed before all created things came into existence. Therefore, the Word could not have been created. Jesus is the uncreated Creator, God. 'Those who deny the deity of Christ offer this rebuttal, though. "Wait a minute, Greg. You didn't read the verse carefully. You missed something in the text. Notice the phrase ‘apart from Him.' The apostle excludes Jesus from the count. If you said, ‘Apart from Billy, the whole family is going to Disneyland' you wouldn't mean that Billy wasn't part of the family, just that he wasn't included in the count. Every member of the family is going to Disneyland with the exception of Billy. In the same way, every created thing was created by Jesus with the exception of Jesus Himself. Jehovah created Jesus first, then Jesus created everything else. Jesus is not God." 'Note that this rebuttal turns on the ability to replace "apart from Him" with the phrase "with the exception of Jesus." Allegedly they're synonymous. Okay, let's try the replacement and see what happens. The verse then looks like this: "With the exception of Jesus, nothing came into being that has come into being." 'If your brow is furrowed trying to figure this out, I'm not surprised. The reconstructed phrase is nearly nonsense. Strictly speaking, it means that Jesus is the only created thing that exists. Read it again and see for yourself. Obviously, the phrase "apart from Jesus" can't mean "with the exception of Jesus." These phrases are not synonymous. '"Apart from Him" means something entirely different. It means "apart from His agency." It's the same as saying, "Apart from me you'll never get to Disneyland. I've got the car." Apart from Jesus' agency nothing came into being that has come into being. Why? Because Jesus is the Creator. He is God. That makes perfect sense in the context.

718 | Pearls Before Swine? | Matt 7:6 | kalos | 165369 | ||
'Pearls Before Swine?' 'How do you know when to "fold your hand" and drop out of an unproductive discussion? 'Jesus warns us, "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine." (Matt. 7:6) How do we know when we've crossed the line when we share our faith? When do we have an obligation to speak, and when should we keep our pearls to ourselves? 'The answer is easy when we consider the rest of the verse: "Do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." We should be generous with the truth unless we encounter someone who shows utter contempt for the precious gift he is being offered. He will simply trample it in the mud and then viciously turn on you. Don't waste your time with people like this. There's plenty of ripe fruit waiting to be harvested.' ____________________ Pearls Before Swine? by Gregory Koukl President, Stand to Reason www.str.org |
