Dear Jimmy, If that is true, then we must conclude that the men who penned these writings were not wise. :-) Personally, I don't get a whole lot out of apocalyptic writing. I'm also convinced there is an unhealthy (spiritually) over curiosity about such things. See, too often, it requires wading out above our heads in order to interpret it... whereas there is so much other stuff that we can state definitively elsewhere in Scripture, spending a lifetime at its study, and never plumb the depths. (Sorry for mixing metaphors.) I think it was Goeth that said, "Grant me the benefit of your convictions, I have enough doubts of my own!" :-) In Him, Doc |

well, thank you for that response Doc, but lets face it, the words were written and recorded for reason, did you not understand the parable of the pound(Luke 19), put your money to work, put your wisdom to work my friend, God gave you a gift to be able to see things most people cant see, even as it is presented right to them, you got this amazing gift to understand the word of God, why quit now? | ||||||

Dear Jimmy, Yes, of course, I believe the verbal plenary inspiration of the Scriptures. However, not every word of Scripture was written for the same purpose. Indeed, as the old divines put it, "The Holy Scripture is the only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience;" and "The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture." Consequently, I'm happy to leave the unprovable speculations of what will be to the dispensationalists. One thing is for certain, when prophecy is fulfilled, it is clear that it is fulfilled prophecy. That's when I'll be lief to take a stand! :-) In Him, Doc |

ok, you will deny everything til its fully proven, i get it, but um, i think that even as prophecy is fulfilled, there will be doubters, so , i guess, good luck with that philosophy, thats not the way i would encourage anyone to live thier life, my advise for you is to fear God and his word a little more, this aint no joke | ||||||

JimmyHen: My advice to you is to lighten up on other forum users. You don't have to make personal remarks whenever someone disagrees with you. Posting to the forum is not a right; it's a privilege. To abuse it is to lose it. THIS aint no joke. --Kalos |
