Figurative and Literal interpretations of God’s Word

[ninicat]

Hi everyone! I am participating in an online Bible study of Isaiah. The instructor has made it clear that he interprets the Scripture of the Lord’s Holy Mountain as figurative and not literal. And that the Lord will not physically reign on Earth for 1000 years. It doesn’t feel right. I asked the instructor what his views on the rebirth of Israel being part of God’s redemptive acts toward his chosen people and does he think that the church is “spiritual Israel”. I haven’t heard back from him yet but I have a feeling I’m sitting in a replacement theology setting…

Run from that group. Nothing but false teaching there.

BTW, please do not name or link to that group, so that others don't get caught up in that false teaching.

You can also visit the main site at Rapture Forums as there are over 15,800 article on the main site to read and study from.

Thank you.

I always wondered what exactly they teach in a figurative Bible study? It's like teaching figurative math or figurative chemistry -- it just doesn't make sense at all!

Run away from this person.

As stated by several already, leave/run/flee from anyone who teaches thoses lies.

Replacement Theology and Calvinism are probably the two worst theologies/teachings out there.

@ninicat, I agree that you should flee from that group.
