| Dec 6 at 23:03 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | Overview questions are okay, though personal answers still aren't allowed 🙂 | |
| Dec 6 at 22:56 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | No, people in answers can disagree, but the important thing is that they at least attempt to present the same perspective. In Peter's questions there might be disagreement within Catholicism, but Protestant answers would be invalid. People can then judge which Catholic answer best represents Catholicism based on the evidence they present. This question doesn't do that, it invites answers from opposite sides of the debate, from two very different camps of eschatology. | |
| Dec 6 at 22:44 | comment | added | Jacob McDougle | @curiousdannii Neither explicitly state which perspective they're looking for - the very thing my post is apparently being moderated for. Wouldn't this then allow for protestants or others to provide their perspective too? Regardless of this, the posts allow for people to either agree or disagree with the matter - another thing I've been told I cannot do on this site. | |
| Dec 6 at 22:22 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | Those questions you linked to are both asking for the Catholic answer, not anyone's personal opinion. That's the kind of scoping we want all questions to have. | |

I have now explicitly asked for an overview of all Christian positions, as per the edit requirements provided.

| Dec 6 at 21:29 | comment | added | Jacob McDougle | @PeterTurner There is nothing off-topic about this question whatsoever - as I pointed out numerous times. | |
| Dec 6 at 21:26 | comment | added | Jacob McDougle | @PeterTurner Are you kidding me. Are you going to close out your questions that would fall into the same apparent error here, here, etc. where you offer proponents of multiple sides of an argument an opportunity to answer? This question I have here is no different than many, many questions. This is disgraceful moderation. | |
| Dec 6 at 21:10 | comment | added | Peter Turner♦ | @JacobMcDougle I didn't think it did make much sense either, but that was how I read your question. If you want a Biblical defense of doctrine here, you need to specify the faith tradition that you want the defense from. If you want straight up what do the words mean, check out the hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/ site | |

| Dec 6 at 17:13 | comment | added | Jacob McDougle | @PeterTurner The question as you’ve edited it literally makes no sense now. I’m not looking for a response from pre-tribulationalists in particular. My question, which is why I stated it as it was, is looking for a biblical defense (irrespective of personal view) as to whether or not it is more likely that these titles are referring to the same event or not, just as Son of Man vs Son of God refer to the same entity. | |

focusing the title of the question to people who do believe in the rapture makes it easier to answer.
|
| Dec 6 at 14:10 | comment | added | Peter Turner♦ | Still, I don't see why you can't just edit this question to ask something specific. I honestly don't understand the rapture and tribulation stuff enough to comment. It's been 25 years since I read Left Behind... Definitely makes more sense to focus on people who do believe in the rapture than don't though. | |
| Dec 6 at 14:09 | comment | added | Peter Turner♦ | @JacobMcDougle Yes or No and then give a defense is not what we do here - that would constitute either personal opinions or two different perspectives competing for correctness. The kinds of answers we find acceptable on the site are encyclopedic in nature. There's no place here for Perspective A to say yes: because yadda yada and Perspective B to say no: because blah blah. If you're looking for two different perspectives you have to ask two different questions. | |
| Dec 5 at 23:16 | comment | added | Jacob McDougle | @curiousdannii In the future I will be more direct, but this seems frustratingly focused on my post, given I see you have answered multiple questions that would fall into the same supposed issue as you suggest with my post. | |
| Dec 5 at 22:45 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | Each question must be scoped to a particular Christian denomination or movement, so that all the answers present the same perspective. We don't allow questions that could be legitimately answered from both the for and against sides. If you haven't read it, please see the Meta page What types of questions can I ask on this site? | |
| Dec 5 at 22:38 | comment | added | Jacob McDougle | @curiousdannii At the end of the day, the post poses a simple "yes" or "no" question. Anyone is invited to either answer "yes" or "no" and give their defense. I don't see how this would be a deviation from many other questions asked on SE-C, including some questions you have asked yourself. | |
| Dec 5 at 21:42 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | Ah, it's not clear exactly what your position was, I was assuming you were critiquing the rapture entirely, but if it's just the pre-trib version that would make sense too. In any case, on this site we don't do both-sides questions, so that answers don't compete on theology with each other. You do need to pick one side of the question. If you want the other side's perspective it can be asked as a separate question. | |
| Dec 5 at 13:41 | comment | added | Jacob McDougle | @curiousdannii First, I’m curious what about my post would make you think I fall in a non-rapturist camp (at least that’s what I gather from your comment). Regardless, I believe the post lends anyone the opportunity to respond without constraint of their view. Those who disagree (predominantly pre-trib & possibly mid-trib) can offer response as to why. Those who agree (post-trib & non-rapturist) can offer further explanation as to why they may agree. | |

| Dec 5 at 9:59 | comment | added | Wyrsa | @curiousdannii I assume that they are looking for supporters to explain their understanding. gets popcorn | |
| Dec 5 at 5:58 | comment | added | curiousdannii♦ | What kind of answers are you looking for? Responses from rapture proponents? Or agreement from non-rapture-ists? A question like this can really only do one side of the debate, so it would be best to be explicit about whose answer you want. | |

| Dec 4 at 20:39 | comment | added | Jacob McDougle | @MikeBorden Thank you. I agree, it often seems the view stem from a doctrine defining one's reading of Scripture rather than one's reading of Scripture defining their doctrine. | |
| Dec 4 at 20:24 | comment | added | Mike Borden | An astute question. Often distinctions are made in order to buttress a theological stance rather than gleaned from Scripture itself. +1 | |
