Hello again, @bbyrd009,sorry you came up last today charity, I have basically wasted my morning I guess, so in reply here I would just ask you to address these vv in that context,
The kingdom of heaven is within you
No one has ever gone up to heaven
There is only One Immortal
And I guess maybe a brief explanation of your understanding of our baptism ritual, what happens when you go under, what did the pastor say, what happens when you come up out of the water, what did he say then, you get it I'm sure.
multiple posts bc iPad, sorry
I did not realise that you had made three replies to me, I will address the points you have referred to, but want to ensure that we are on the same track, by confirming the following points you have raised:-
- The kingdom of heaven is within you - Luke 17:21
- No one has ever gone up to heaven - John 3:13
- There is only One Immortal - 1 Timothy 6:16
- Water baptism and it's significance - Romans 6:3-5
* Are these the verses and subjects you are referring to, bbyrd009? Do you still want me to address them?
----------------------------------
* Also in reference to 1 Thess. 4:13-14, you said (quote):-
There is no "return" in that passage charity, and we have gone over this one too I guess. So rather than the same retread reply that will not change until Scripture does, I would say read your passage up there, and then address why do you stand there looking up into the sky if you would, ty, remembering hidden from the wise once again. I would love it if Jesus proved me wrong and appeared in the literal clouds, by way of returning, and I believed that pretty much my whole life too ok
* The word, 'return' may not be in this passage, @bbyrd009, but it is obviously His returning, for He had gone back into heaven. Those who rise to meet the Lord in the air will return with Him to the earth.
In Christ Jesus
Chris
