The reason I stressed my questions was that you had indicated that you thought that you would never change your mind about secret-pretrib and dispy...and I and Joe and others cited just few examples that present enormous exegetical problems for the secret pretrib,dispy...all the commentaries in the world can't change facts of the Exegesis of those scriptures concerning the return of Christ.
All I am saying is to give a full hearing of something before saying that it can't ever change. Honestly some of the answers that i've seen on those passages on the return of Christ from people like Walvord (can't remember spelling) are scripture twisting in my opinion.
Whether Christ come in Two stages or NOT, He's still coming back more than a second time according to that.Rather, let's let scriptures speak:
Heb 9:
23Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a [b]second time[/b], not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
