Re: Why I Am A Futurist

You violate the scripture:

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

You believe in two gospels:

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Gospel above is not the gospel here:

Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

or here:

Colossians 1:5-6 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; (6) Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

You judge me as going to hell for believing leaves are symbolic.

Matthew 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

You believe the church is the city and are as trees with leaves and fruit is whacko symbolism. Meanwhile:

Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,


Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Isaiah 62:12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.


And yet of them all, you say I am going to hell for believing leaves are symbolic.

Sean, get a grip. You are acting nutty. Saying the leaves are symbolic is not taking away the words of the book of Revelation. It is keeping those words and interpreting them by other passages in the bible like Psalm 1.

You say the leaves are real but not the Lamb. Why? What gives you the right? how do you know? The verse says nothing about the lamb being a symbol. What gives you the grounds to say it is a symbol and leaves are not. What is different about what is said about the lamb and about the leaves in the same book that makes one a symbol and other not?
