Misty, As a newer member of the Forum, I would point out that the burden of proof is on you! You haven't remotely established your case. One verse of scripture does not a doctrine make! You might want to consult with some of the godly scholars on this matter to see what they think. I think Steve is on-track with his responses to you. Are you familiar with the principles of Biblical Interpretation? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hey, BradK I don't know about Misty, but I would absolutely love to know the principles of Biblical Interpretation. Especially with some of my non-Christian friends pounding me on all sides saying things like, "how do you know it means that", or "how do you know that that law no longer applies", or "that's only your interpretation". Some guidelines would make it a little easier. God bless Jo |

Hi Jo, I'm glad to be of help. I would recommend going to www.carm.org. Look under The Bible, and then click on Interpretive Principles. It's fairly basic and certainly not all-inclusive, but a sufficient place to start. It's very practical and gives you a sample excercise to work through too:-) If you're looking for something more in-depth, bible.org is excellent and there are also many fine sites on line (but be careful), under Bible Interpretation or Principles of Biblical Interpretation. I found several good resources for my own use and study. If I can be of further help, e-mail me at the address under my user profile. God Bless, BradK |

Hi Brad, I looked at that site (carm.org) re interpretive principles. I thought it had some good things to say about how to go about understanding the Bible. It used a passage for an example, but I don't think it went far enough. The passage used was 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come" (NIV). It went on to explain how this did not mean what most people think, but that it means the ones removed are taken for judgement. I just wonder, though, if that is in harmony with the rest of scripture? As in the parables, and in Matt 25, the judgment between the sheep and the goats, the wicked are taken away, leaving the righteous, however, that is after they are gathered to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and so the wicked are not plucked out leaving the righteous standing there doing dishes, they are all brought from the kitchen to be judged. Logically, will they actually be business as usual on the final day of the great tribulation? The other thing I wonder about is that this passage goes on the say that we don't know when He is coming, but when He comes to judge, it will be 1260 days from the abomination that causes desolation, and so those on the earth can know the very day. For these reasons I question this conclusion, and encourage all Bible students to be diligent to ensure that any conclusion reached regarding the meaning of the Scriptures is in complete harmony with the rest. That notwithstanding, I've bookmarked the site. It looks like it may have some interesting material. Thanks! Love in Christ, Mark |
