Framework for Replying to Controversial Comments

The goal is to move the commenter’s focus from “Am I saved?” to “Am I prepared and knowledgeable concerning the Lord’s Return?”

Comment Type / ObjectionStrategy & ToneSuggested KJV Scripture Focus
“That doesn’t matter for salvation.” (General objection to Feasts, Law, etc.)Acknowledge and Pivot. Agree that salvation is by grace, but immediately pivot the discussion to the non-negotiable requirements for being a watchful servant or a ready bride.Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV): Acknowledge salvation. Then pivot to Luke 12:35-37 (KJV): “Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning… Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching…”
“That’s Old Testament/Legalism.” (Attacks The Law Before Sinai or Sanctuary articles)Define Immutability. Distinguish between the temporary ceremonial law (fulfilled) and the eternal, unchangeable principles of God’s character (reflected in the Law).Matthew 5:17-18 (KJV): “Think not that I am come to destroy the law… Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law…” This shows Christ validated the law’s authority.
“The Rapture/Return is imminent and unconditional.” (Attacks Hidden Covenant or Feasts timing)Challenge Passivity. Use parables to show that readiness requires active, ongoing work. Redirect the focus from God’s timing to the Church’s condition.Revelation 19:7 (KJV): “…and his wife hath made herself ready.” Focus on the active role the Church has in its own sanctification and preparation.
“Where did you get that interpretation?” (Requests source/authority for Unseen Sanctuary or Angel Theory)Cite and Contextualize. Direct them back to the specific biblical text and the cultural/archaeological context that informs the reading. Emphasize that context unlocks clarity.2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV): “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Use this to justify the deep, context-driven study.

The Best Final Line: The Prophetic Hotspot

Always conclude your defense by linking the topic back to the urgent, central theme of your site.

“We are not debating the path to salvation; we are identifying the Prophetic Hotspots that prepare us for The Lord’s Return. The question is not ‘Do I need this to be saved?’ but ‘Does this help me understand my role in the end-time preparation?’
