Eric,
Apostates of a feather flock together. As always the Laodiceans are left in the dark. IE: blind. Notice it did not say the world is blind, but the church is blind.

Now I fully understand the fullness of your apostasy. So you do not believe the Great White Throne Judgment, the 7 churches, ( church age ) are not to be literal.

Wrong again, he holds that the Catholics hold to this view. He dose not even know who the real church was in the line of the apostles. The Novatians, Donatists, Bogomiles, Albigenses, Paulicians, etc. were all belived in the rapture.

When you use a Catholic translation of the Bible IE: Translation based on the corrupt text from Africa this is 100% understandable. Therein lies the whole of your problem. Samuel E. Waldron does not have the inspired Word of God, nor do you. You do not have " the inspired Word of God. " Only the originals were inspired. Isn't this 100% correct? All you have are translations of copies and no translation or copy is inspired or perfect. This is what you believe. So do not come on here and lie to us about " the inspired Word of God " that you do not have, have never seen or will never see. At least be a man about and say " the uninspired imperfect copies that have some of the words of God in them.
Rule 1: All apostates are liars, as proven over and over again. As you have proved here with your own post.
Apostate liars tell you they have something they do not believe they have, " the inspired Word of God. " You can call it what you may yet a lie is nothing more than faking reality. That is all a lie ever is. Believing reality is one thing while saying reality is something else. You need to repent and turn from the sin of telling lies.
Here is your lie one more time.
" It is our conviction that the post-tribulational, pre-millennial return of Jesus Christ is clearly revealed in the inspired Word of God "
By using the word " our " you are saying that you and Samuel E. Waldron must have read " the inspired Word of God " at some point in time. Not one of you have ever seen one original book Bible in your life, nor will you. Not one much less all of the original books of the Bible even exist today. Never forget there can only ever be one original of anything. Adam was the only original man, you and I are just copies of copies. Their was only one original Model T car, all others were just copies. The same hold true for all 66 books of the Bible. There was only original of the book of James, Gen., and so on and so fourth.
So after you go read this post go and repent for telling lies.
Now Bible believers do believe we can have a perfect copy, and even perfected copy of God's Word. We do have the inspired Word of God. We can hold it in our hand and read it. I do so every day of my life. This is something that you apostates say you do and preach from the churches, but all lie about all the time. You guys are so lukewarm, so sinful and so damaging to the work of the Lord. Apostates are the ones responsible for the shape the church is in today. I have more respect for a drunk or a whore than I do a Bible correcting apostate. The drunks and whores will at least admit what they really are, this is far more than I can say for the apostates. The drunks and whores do realize what kind of shape they are in. The apostates are blind just the Bible says they will be. The Bible predicted this about 2000 years ago, the church is full of them today. The Bible was right again, as always.
