| Sep 6, 2014 at 5:14 | comment | added | david brainerd | @user2479, If "active present sense" means something like "will he REALLY find faith" I can agree, and the NKJV puts it that way. What is "faithfulness" if not someone who really has faith rather than just sort of does? | |
| Sep 6, 2014 at 5:10 | comment | added | Tau | Thank you for your response! I believe you adequately dealt with the Scofield note(although Hal Linsey and others use it to affirm their belief in pre-trib rapture. Wayne House and Thomas Ice focus on the 'avenge speedily', although it remains to be seen how 'speedily' those with faith are avenged. I still hold to the 'active present sense' these authors use, it's just that their 'justification' for it is the church's departure, something your examination refutes. | |
