Whew.
So way off where do we start?????
5 foolish virgins are VIVIDLY DEPICTED AS BELIEVERS!
THEY HAD:
OIL ( THE HOLY SPIRIT)
LAMPS ( VESSELS WITH OIL WITHIN..AHEM.
THE HOLY SPIRIT)
LIGHT( JESUS SAID WE ARE THE LIGHT OF.
THE WORLD)
WERE WAITING FOR JESUS.
WERE SLEEPING ALONGSIDE BELIEVERS.
CALLED JESUS THEIR LORD
ASKED OTHER BELIEVERS FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.

AND MORE!!!!

ALL THAT...AND YOU SAY THEY ARE HEATHENS.

SMH
WAY WAY OFF.

PSSSST...BOTH PAUL IN CORINTHIANS AND JESUS IN REV 2 EXCORIATED EXCOMUNICATED AND THREATENED
BELIEVERS.
YOU JUST NEED TO DROP FALSE DOCTRINE.
FYI - Jesus said to the five foolish virgins = "I do not know you"

How about you start by actually addressing what I said in post #456? You didn't address a single word of what I said there. Are you afraid to do so?


Whether they were at one time or not is not the point. Are they believers when they say "Lord, Lord, open to us" when He comes? He will tell them that He doesn't know them. Is that something Jesus would say to believers? Absolutely not! And I showed what happens to those who will say "Lord, Lord, open to us" at that point. They will be cast out in the fire "where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth". Why do you do NOTHING to address that?


LOL!!!!!! Does someone calling Jesus Lord mean He is their Lord? Anyone can call Him that. It doesn't mean He actually is their Lord. Are you just ignoring that He will tell them that He doesn't know them? That is not something He would say to a true believer.


LOL. Is your caps lock key stuck? You continue to embarrass yourself with your babbling. You are not able to speak coherently for whatever reason and it makes it impossible to take you seriously. If you want to be taken seriously then you will stop being a coward and actually address what I said in post #456.
Lol
"Know" is the word for intimacy.
"Mary knew not a man"
Ahem...does not mean she never met a man in her life.
Read the 7 letters to the 7 churches.
".... but I have this against you, that you have lost your first love, I suggest you go and buy gold refined and Fire..".
I wonder if your Doctrine also has these people in these churches as unsaved, because it's talking about the exact same thing,.
The foolish we're not intimate with the Lord, they had oil but it ran out, they had oil and lamps and Light but when the oil ran out all they had left was an empty vessel.
I can lead you to the water but getting you to drink it is a whole nother ball game. You have no understanding of intimacy with the Lord do you?
It goes completely over your head , in what's happening in the seven letters to the seven churches, and unto the foolish virgin's

it completely goes over your head.

Then Rev ch 2 is a lie.
Try reading it and what happens to believers that lost their intimacy with Jesus.
There was no difference outside the MISSING OIL THAT HAD JUST RUN OUT OVERNIGHT, IN THE WISE AND THE FOOLISH.
NO DIFFERENCE.
You are saying that your salvation can go away by your neglect of oil.

Out of 10 components in the parable, you COMPLETELY OMIT EVERY ONE OF THEM , then make " know" the pivot point.
...while "know" ,reframed, is erroneously your banner.
Wow..go for it!!!!!

Will await your non answer.

Every postrib WITHOUT EXCEPTION , MUST change the 10 virgins parable.
FALSE

Parable of 10 virgins is the SAME Warning that the LORD used multiple times in the Gospel.

EXAMPLE: Luke ch13
And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?”

And He said to them, 24“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ 26then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ 28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. 29They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. 30And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

Okay, I’ll stop trying to convince you and @rebuilder 454 . God bless.
Show me one component where I am wrong. Just one.
The pretrib rapture verses?
The Church in heaven in rev19?
The " like manner" ascension of Acts 1.?
The AC killing all refusing the mark in Rev?
Rev 14:14 ( the one no postribber can go to)?
Mat 24 :38 " before the flood"?
MAT 24 :40 "One taken/left" before the flood?
Jesus said watch and be ready before the flood?
Lot gathered before judgement?
Rev 2 " I will keep you from the trial about to come upon the entire world"?
Jesus said " pray that You may be counted worthy to escape the things about to come upon the world and to stand before the Son of man?

Take any one and show me how it is not saying the obvious.

At the same time, show me a postrib rapture verse
When I saw you align with spiritual Israelite and name calling I knew you were here for other reasons.

Lol.
I challenged you guys earlier and you did the same thing.
Avoid the parable.

More babbling and incoherence. Another admission that you are not able to support your doctrine with scripture.

What does this even mean? You just say things like this with no explanation and you expect to be taken seriously? What does "before the flood, one taken, one left" mean exactly as it relates to the topic at hand?
Read mat 24.
At this point, I would have thought you and Petra would have a vague knowledge of the rapture and 2 comings of mat 24.

Read mat 24.

So, you are not willing to even explain what you believe? I don't see what you see when I read Matthew 24, so why are you so afraid to clearly show what you're talking about so that I don't have to guess?

I have addressed it in detail and you are too cowardly to address what I've said about it. You can't be taken seriously. You're all talk and no substance.
Lol
You just showed us your twisting of it.

Your Nasty name calling is telling
You have become a little pesky troll.

I showed that those who say "Lord, Lord, open to us" when Jesus comes will be cast out to the fire where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. That is something that is said only of unbelievers. And He will say to them that He doesn't total know them. He would never say that to a true believer and that is obvious. Your response to these points is total silence.

""....Mary knew not a man"
The written word of God

You : "that is babble."

So vile and nasty.
Your comments are babble. You do NOTHING to explain what you're talking about. Everyone here can see that. Your arguments are completely incoherent and unconvincing.

SI has become unable to talk without being nasty.
I do feel your frustration friend.
You need a break from this place before you blow a gasket.
