And yet you have gone on record agreeing climate change is not spoken of in Revelation. Stated plain as day for all to read in Post 18.I beg to differ...as I said the climate change will not be caused by man made industry or cows farting...Rev tells us
Rev 16 8Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given power to scorch the people with fire. 9And the people were scorched by intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues. Yet they did not repent and give Him glory.
The above is a supernatural climate change.
And.....
For the record, Revelation 16:8 does not actually mention any climate. What it states is the angel's bowl was poured out on the sun and the sun was given the power to scorch people with fire. It refers to the scorching fire as plagues. No mention of climates, nor climate changes. There's not even any mention of weather or changes in the weather. This presents one of two problems: either your personal ability to read and understand scripture correctly is poor, or the teaching you've received that taught you Rev. 18:6 is about climate change is poor. It could be both but either way you are personally responsible for and accountable for explaining why a verse that nowhere mentions climate was misused to support a position of God-made climate change. Fire from the sun could fall just as much on the north and south poles as it could on the tropics. That is not climate change.
Did you read the verse before posting it? A simple reading would have prevented Post 20.
More importantly. you're exacerbating the already existing contradiction where in one post you say climate change is mentioned in Revelation and is eschatologically relevant to the separated rapture to which you subscribe and then in another post it is agreed there is no mention of climate change in Revelation. Those two positions cannot simultaneously occur. Your own posts contradict one another.
Weather changes. Climates do not.
Differ all you like but irrational differing is worthless.I beg to differ...
The hail of Rev. 8 or the implied drought of Rev. 16 would have been better alternatives but even then, 1) the events are not global and 2) some account would have to be provided for not interpreting those verses figuratively. Otherwise, there is no mention of climate change in Revelation and not much mention of global changes in the weather, either. People who teach Revelation that way either haven't actually read the book and/or are teaching a baseless doctrine, not scripture as written. Before you respond to this post give the book of Revelation a read consciously looking for specific examples of weather change and/or climate change. Don't post without the scripture to back up the post. Don't post more self-contradiction, either.
bump for @Buff Scott Jr.
Are you a dispy? If so, then how do you address these concerns?
