That was just a photo op :rolleyes:...thinks she's going to run for President. :confused:

I did not reject, but explained in post #45. How is it that you did not know that corrections were to come?

Jesus purposed a choice in Matthew 16:13-19 for us either to follow Him in what comes from the Father in spirit, or to follow mere men. Read it carefully and understand. The rest is mostly man made religion. Such is the abomination that makes desolation.

Of course, but that does not address why there are so many differences among the body: Each has its own purpose appointed by gifts from God.

That is reasonable, but you lean on your own understanding. Daniel's prophecy gives its own definition clarified by Christ: "Of desolation...stand in the holy place (whosoreadeth, let him understand)." Who makes desolate by the Judgment...and who is the holy place but Christ?

As I said, I did. But now you have rejected it two times. So be it.

The union is the Head, that Head of His body of many members.

I was referring to the church, not all religions. I edited my post for clarification.

The scriptures do not say "idol."

No it does not. You are under the wrong impression. To the contrary, just as Jesus carried the evidence of a world of sins after being crucified until He ascended, we too carry the evidence of a life of sins until we ascend. Until then, as it is written, we are "alive and remain."

The Christian church is one body made up of many [different] members. The other religions are just man made attempts at human perfection.

This world and the timeline you are considering to be the time frame around which all things revolve, is not at all the case. All this is created just as we were created that Adam, the man of sin, should be revealed throughout every generation. The point is, it is just an image cast through a...

That's a dodge...and you never answered my question.

You are mixing darkness with light, those not (yet) saved with those who are. Paul was not speaking of himself as not yet saved, but speaking as one who was "all things to all people, that he might save some"--that was his good fight. Which he did as the structure of the church for many...

Just as Paul proclaimed the mystery of marriage after thousands of years of people practicing it without full understanding, with words that were not so much his as God's, I proclaim to you who have been all this time with out understanding the mystery of birth, which by the Spirit is salvation...

You are drawing out what need not be drawn out. Salvation is of God, timeless by his nature, that change is best said in worldly terms as "in the twinkling of an eye." But salvation is not a worldly term, therefore the time that you refer to is only for those who prolong it by the ways of the...

I did. How is it that you do not recognize that I was quoting the scriptures?

There was to be no "future" per se for Israel beyond that ("this") generation of Christ 2,000 years ago, as He came but for the house of Israel and "It is finished."

Okay, thanks! Israel has preceded us. Then we who are grafted in "each one in his own order" 1 Corinthians 15:23. As for the modern "state" of Israel, it is only a redeclaration ex post facto declaring the time of the end. "Then comes the end."

You are giving Satan too much credit, the world is all He has. The things of God, including God's people, Satan has no power over. Those who are born of God (born again of the spirit of God) may be "alive and remain" in this world which is under the rule of Satan--but we are not of the world...
