No, but it was at the beginning of the first 1.500 years that the departure of the church took place. Which Christ too warned of even before the cross, saying: Matthew 24:44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. But they were not ready, and...

You're funny! But, to give you a head start on that "intense indoctrination"...you might start by loosing the former religious indoctrination and speculations of these last days. As it is, you are potentially spreading the nonsense of unspiritually discerned scripture, such as the thousand year...

Okay...let's nail it down then: Do you accept or reject that Christ has arranged leading us unto "all truth" by the Spirit of Truth during these times, which was not yet "all" when the gospels were written or is even "all" to this day?

Well, the words are correct enough according to the scriptures...but lack complete spiritual discernment. The 144,000 is not unlike the use of "a thousand years" in referring rather to "the fullness of time." In this case it means, the fullness of every tribe, Israel being the basis of...

Let me say it again: Can there be anything more severe than all severity? All severity (tribulation) does not come upon any other than Christ. That is, the combined total of all individual tribulations the world shall ever know. As for Matthew 24:22, everyone comes to the same end, His sun...

That's not really what I was saying or referring to. But rather that just as Israel got it all wrong about the first appearing of Messiah, we too are looking at His return all wrong as well. Most have imagined visions of the flesh and blood man Jesus touching down on the mount of olives on a...

I do understand your logic, but it is the thinking and rationale of men. Such thinking would also deny that "two [actually] become one flesh", which among men never is the case, but only points to God in whom all things are real, just as they are written. Therefore, when the scriptures point to...

No...Jesus said, "you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." And He prayed that we would be "one" as they "are one", meaning, "I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one." That "one" being God.

Indeed, our perceptions mean nothing unless they agree with God. As for the definition of what being "born again" means, Jesus gave the definition: John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. "God is spirit" Jesus said, and therefore in...

Oh contraire...Jesus took upon Himself every evil, and there is nothing more. What makes the "great tribulation" of prophecy "great", is that it is all (tribulation) and cannot be made exception to. The sum is greater than any of the parts. Yet many have been and are in the weeds looking for...

I would even go one further and suggest that we considered just what "a Lion" actually would look like in the context of God being the Author and source of His coming. In other words, if we just think that Jesus' return is what Israel expected, which was a conquering king...we are likely to be...

Okay... Just so you realize, I quoted Jesus, and you quoted and follow those whom Peter warned against, saying, "But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought...

Now you have left the path of scripture. Jesus only said to "Do this in remembrance of Me." The fact that He said it was His body, was only symbolic, just as He also referred to the mana come down from Heaven, which only pointed to His coming. Nor was Jesus an actual wooly Lamb, nor were the...

Indeed, communion is handled poorly by most congregations, with very little explanation even of what it is for. And it would be so easy to explain and say, that it was begun by those who knew Jesus and is now the practice also of those who know Him, which was and is done in remembrance of His...

At least one of them likes Ice Cream...which is mana from heaven as far as I'm concerned.

@Philip James So the question was raised asking whether or not the Catholic Church excludes others, and why you think that is? I can only answer for myself, where even family have not even allowed my wife and I to take our grandchildren to church with us, unless we go to a Catholic church. And...

Sorry. Were not communicating. Here is Jesus' prayer which defines the Oneness that I was referring to, that you apparently do not consider the kind of oneness that makes Jesus God: “I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all...

Jesus did not explain being born again in that way. But rather, that it is a necessity for all before entering into the kingdom of God. Verily, verily. As for reigning with Christ, that has been occurring since Peter confirmed the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. I could say more...but...

The chink in that armor is the error of believing there is a greater tribulation than [all] tribulation taken on by Christ at the cross. If you can see that, then perhaps we can go further into it.
