A warning is a warning, not a threat...so I can see the problem you are having: I say one thing and you see it as something else. As for what I posted, it is not what I "believe", but rather multiple different passages that all agree with the warning that Jesus gave regarding the evil servant...

I did not threaten, or give commentary or opinion--I quoted Jesus who gave His own explanation regarding the timing. That was the point. Which you scoff at--fine.

You believe these things to be literal or of worldly nature, but do not regard any of them as signs or as only pointing to that which is actually real with God. Do you also (likewise) believe that the Temple of scripture is only stone, rather than only pointing to that Temple of His body?

I advocate no such thing as "mysticism" as you accuse me, but rather the hidden things of God and the mysteries that are revealed and not often understood. While it is obvious in your reaction that you would have been one of those who walked away when Jesus Himself spoke of what many thought to...

Furthermore... Isaiah 44:6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. While the above verse from Isaiah identifies the First...

You call me a mystic, while you yourself are not reconciling all scripture: Name calling and mishandling of scripture--these you are a witness to regarding your own self. Thanks for being obvious.

I quoted Jesus, and you point the finger at me. And this you do while your rationale is no different than those of 2,000 years of speculation, rather than the simple words from Jesus. You even refer to Revelations--with complete disregard for the fact of what John was told, chapter one, verse...

If you actually did, I wouldn't have to keep quoting and correcting you. Here again: Jude 1:3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all...

Revelation 5:1-7 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth...

James 1:25-27 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from...

That is completely understandable and typical of most Christians. Which is a sad testimony regarding the state of the church, to say the least. Because what you have described is that you have believed the teachings of men, many of whom were the manifestation of warnings regarding "false...

Groundhog Day repeating what you have not understood...is getting you nowhere.

Oh, man--I have got to quote you on this!

I don't know how you did it...but starting with Jesus saying very matter-a-factly that before they themselves would have time to go through all the cities of Israel, He would come [again] to them--you then ended up right back at the idea the unbelievers taught that rather than that, "My master...

I recommend you stop calling what you are referring to as "allegorical" teaching, as (again) that is also the method presented throughout much of the scriptures from the beginning. I also submit to you that, yes, Jesus explained the classic parables, but also referred to our need to "understand...

Again, we need not argue if these things are properly reconciled. Peter actually referred rather to the disanointed causing the falling away: 2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive...

One thing at a time. "Rightly dividing" is what Paul indicated is a must regarding understanding "the word of truth": 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. This he said in regard to guiding...

The scriptures must be spiritually discerned. So, yes, the connection must be made to Christ regarding much of what is written--indeed all of scripture points to Him. "For He says: “In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the...

You yourself have shown what you do not see, in that you Jesus then coming and explaining the reality of those Old Testament scriptures as being "like."

You have not understood the scriptures. Peter is not saying baptism is that entrance, He is saying it is a ministry pointing to that actual entrance whom is Christ.
