As mentioned in the first part, Hart views these two passages as incompatible because he construes verses 4–35 teaching signs before Christ’s coming, while verses 36–44 teaching no signs before his coming. Therefore, he claims verses 36–44 must not be referring back to the coming in verses 30–31, instead must refer to a pretribulational rapture […]
Rebuttals
Part 1 – Why the “Coming” in Matthew 24:36–44 Refers Back to Verses 30–31
Pretribs have three big proof texts: James 5:7–9, Titus 2:11–14, and Matthew 24:36. It is the latter proof text that I will split up in a six part series. This first part is the introduction explaining the argumentation for their interpretation. In the next five parts I will give five reasons why the “Coming” in […]
Bible-Centered Conference Contrasted with America-Centered Conference
This is a teachable moment. An hour ago, I posted about Jan Markell’s upcoming prophecy conference. I was curious to see what prophecy subjects and biblical texts the speakers were going to be covering, and I was alarmed to learn about the Me-centered (or America-centered) sessions by the speakers. If the following does not represent […]
On Pat Robertson, Eschatology Matters…Again
A lot of people are shocked when Pat Roberson makes bizarre statements every so often on his television show. I’m not. I am not left wondering why he said this or that because I understand it stems from his sick and perverted, health-wealth, dominion postmillennialism (to be sure, there are other versions of postmillennialism that […]
A Norris Update: He Gives a Non-Response Response
“I only have this to say about Alan Kurschn [sic] and his blogging about me: LOL.” —Wesley Norris There you go folks, I did not expect a meaningful biblical response to my articles on Wesley Norris’ pretribulational theology. For the record his response has been basically name calling: heresy, blaspheming, apostate, and flippantly laughing (“LOL”). […]
“The pre-wrath movement is apostate” —Wesley Norris
I am calling on Wesley Norris to publicly repent of his egregious slander against his prewrath brothers and sisters in Christ. If anyone knows where Norris attends church, please let me know. His elders need to be informed of his slander he is propagating on the Internet, so they can restrain him from continuing to […]
Wesley Norris Doubles Down On His Perversion of God’s Purposes
Norris: [W]hat kind of glory would it bring the Father to physically persecute His Son’s bride before His Son is married to her? I don’t know about you, but I think that is a sick and twisted concept. Yet this is what the pre-wrath crowd is wanting the Church to believe. (Source here). Wesley Norris […]
Some Things Just Speak For Themselves…
Wesley Norris: [It is] blasphemous to put the revealing of Antichrist before Jesus and the Church. The apostle Paul: Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him… For [the day of the Lord] will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is […]
Antichrist and Alka-Seltzer™ for Wesley
Eschatology matters, folks, as the following prerib rant demonstrates from a Wesley Norris who essentially calls Jesus and Paul’s warnings to the church blasphemous. If you can’t argue against it biblically, try calling it blasphemous! (I don’t mean to minimize Wesley’s slanderous accusation against God’s Word). See also Ryan Habbena’s response in the link (source […]
Apostates Such as Brian McLaren Are Not Content With Just Denying the Faith…
they feel the need to oppose the faithful: http://standupforthetruth.com/2012/05/brian-mclaren-wants-end-time-believing-christians-robustly-confronted/ (h.t. Amanda Hadaway)
The Number of the Beast, and a Response to Walid Shoebat
New Testament scholar Daniel Wallace provides a brief note on the possibility of the number of the beast being 616, not 666, here. Wallace also refutes Walid Shoebat’s sensational and fallacious claim about a New Testament manuscript and a supposed Arabic insertion, here. Also, James White one of today’s most effective Christian apologists on Islam […]
