Jesus's return, clearly laid out in scripture
with not a single
hupostrepho nor
shuvu in sight, right, so wadr "clearly" your imagination mixed in with some expectations and desires, but not Scripture, sorry. Christ is
revealed, appears, even
comes again, to those who were blind and could not see before, yes, but nonetheless
I will never leave you nor forsake you, so see its the blind leading the blind, and not Jesus moving around anywhere, wadr
Worship of the Lord, some of the many scriptures that could be quoted
wadr "Lord" is an Anglish translation of a word you do not even know yet, and Yah does not "lord" it over anyone, "lord" is a hideous interpretation to hold of Yah once you think about it, to hell with all "lords" imo. I could easily demo how "lord" is also applied to ppl in Scripture, not going to bother, bam worship your High Priest as long as you like ok, i understand
I like to read what you believe, but it does not reflect scripture
? lol, i pretty much been exclusively Quoting Scripture?
Jesus's return, clearly laid out in scripture
oh goodie, another round of "nevermind that whatabout this"
Please tell me which scriptures you want addressing?
the ones in italics might be a good start sis, and i wish you the best ok? I am not asking you to alter your beliefs right this second ok, i understand that this will require some contemplation. Test everything, and keep what is good imo. Worship Jesus until the day you die if you like, when you believe your "afterlife" will begin, right? Ok with me, pretty sure you wont even be judged for that, but you will reap what you sow i guess, and imo that is a bunch of wind
I as all believers in Christ love Him.
well, believers in Jesus anyway, right, and who doesnt love love? lol
so bs, wadr. "Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky"
Whether He bring eternal life or not, is actually up to the Lord, it is the path that interests us most and how to walk it.
then imo the Two of You should maybe obey Jesus' explicit--iow not implicit, explicit; clearly said and recorded, even as we go to Luby's for a little post-baptism celebration instead right--instructions on
going to another town, stay in one house, eat what they feed you rather than forcing bad definitions on terms like "eternal" that are, after all, spaces of time? Bc im pretty sure as far as we are concerned anyway eternity will end when we die,
from eternity to eternity.
I as all believers in Christ love Him. Whether He bring eternal life or not, is actually up to the Lord, it is the path that interests us most and how to walk it. I came to Christ to make sense of my family and my life experience. I was lost in confusion, without any clear direction or motivation in which to move. I had though lots of burning issues which I wanted answers to, and it was Jesus who supplied them.
In a strange way meeting the Lord is gaining eternal life, because the life with Him is the beginning of a life that will never end, but as a believer I did not really appreciate this. I wanted to resolve my sin, my guilt, my shame, my confusion and find peace. It is like a blind man stumbling in the dark, bumping into things and not knowing why or how they can see or know what is and is not. The woman caught in adultery summarised so much, legalism, compromise, acceptance, forgiveness and the desire once life is set straight to walk in it.
that is all interesting, dont get me wrong ok, it is even a great beginning imo, but it is wadr just more "nevermind that, what about this?" as long as you refuse to address the Scriptures i have Quoted. The ones you Quote i could offer a diff interp for, no reason those could not happen today for instance, but we are not even close to there yet wadr; suffice it to say that we accept the interp that most accomodates our expectations and desires, and Scripture was after all written so as to hide wisdom from the wise. Yes, we will not all "sleep" or iow remain cluelessly worshipping Jesus as Apollos our whole lives, some few will actually "get it" and that always comes as a what we call a "realization," "in an instant" iow,
I will never leave you nor forsake you, I desire mercy, not sacrifice, No son of man may die for another, et al
No, you will not be Quoting "Jesus shuvu" or "Jesus hupostrepho" today, bc they are not in There, but bam give it your best shot.
