    If you believe these are the end times, why do you not also believe great apostacy has come?

    If you believe that Jesus is soon to come again, why do you do the same as the Pharisees who looked to the scriptures and thought they had it all figured out? History repeats itself--but this time it's the church who is in the hot seat. I could make a case for what is wrong with what is now...

    Again...who knew what was actually true, the Pharisees whom you now parallel by trusting in your own understanding of the scriptures, or Jesus?

    Outer darkness

    Ask yourself then (leaving me out of it if it helps): Did God cast mankind into the world, or out of the garden? What then is the nature of this world--inward, or outward? And comparatively, by which did Jesus liken the kingdom of God?

    You say the words but do not understand. And what did the Pharisees know but did not understand? Did you not see this coming?

    Outer darkness

    If the kingdom of God is within you, if you look out from yourself--what do you see, outer space? No, but outer darkness.

    Jesus stands at the door and knocks for a time and the End comes in to each one who opens the door, "but each one in his own order", and then the door is closed. The End.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    Don't be sorry. You not seeing is why I have explained it to you.

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    I have not given you my "opinion." But noting the times, what good was "the truth as it was understood" when Jesus first came? I have told you the truth.

    The Great Tribulation

    If you are just saying that there is only one great tribulation and only one [so called] rapture, that is true. And yet there are two narratives, one from the perspective of the world (and time) giving the impression that they are different and separate, and the other from the eternal...

    Why would I tell you the truth and then tare you apart?

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    You misunderstand. If Elie's "image" could talk, it might say, "If you have seen me, you have seen Elie", and "I and Elie are One"; and if Elie's "image" could talk to other "images" it might also say, "my Image and your Image, my Being and your Being." So, no, Jesus would not say a mere image...

    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    As I said already, there are no dead in heaven. Still you are struggling over what is meant by the end. The signs Jesus gave are not the end--He said that. But rather He is the End--He said that also. Little e big E, little end big End.

    Who receives tuition for studies? You have been fishing all night but have caught little or nothing. Let rather your net down on the right side. Why is it not enough that Jesus has called Himself the End, that you should understand?

    The Great Tribulation

    Tribulations come to all who have ever lived and will ever live. Jesus defined a greater tribulation than any one person has or would ever experience...which can only be answered one way--by definition, there can be no greater tribulation than all the tribulation combined that was put upon...

    No, that was me being graceful. And no, Nicodemus didn't "destroy" Jesus either--it was the other way around. But it would appear your pride is too great to take a hint. :(

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    That was not the question nor the point, and you have gotten off track. The point is if you yourself told your own story third person, you are not another person--and neither is God for having done the same. Jesus and the Father are One and the same...except that He has lowered Himself for the...

    Are Jehovah's witnesses real Christians?

    No, that's not biblical. Jesus stated that He and the Father are One, and prayed the we also be included. The mystery of marriage simply tells of how we enter into that same Oneness "in Christ." In. Which is only part of the explanation. The other insight and explanation is that of Christ...

    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    Okay...so you put it together there, but I am not sure you realize it. None of what was before was done without a reason, a precedence, a parable foreshadowing, including all of Solomon's life and words of wisdom. That is the context. But if you insist on explaining things away because of...

    God does not have a timeline.

    No one may respond to you because you misspelled eternity. But, no, your premise is quite unbiblical. God does not "evolve" but "is the same yesterday, today, and forever", and so is the kingdom of God and the new heaven and earth, as it is revealed in the book of Revelation as having "no...

    Exposition: Why "Absent From The Body/Present With The Lord" Doesn't Support Immortal Soul Doctrine

    None of that takes away the namesake of Christ who referred to Himself as the End for a reason.
