I'm not going to take 1Thessalonians 4:16, 17 or 1Corinthians chapter 15 out of context of the resurrection because that's what Paul is speaking about in those scriptures.

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating from “the tree of the knowledge of good and bad,” they committed what many call the original sin. (Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:6; Romans 5:19) That tree was off-limits to Adam and Eve because it represented God’s authority, or right, to decide what is good and...

I don't call agreeing with such scriptures as Romans 6:3-5 that show what occurred in the case of Jesus as setting the pattern as arguing, no matter what you or anyone else says about that. Jesus wasn't restored to heavenly life until after his death and resurrection. 1Corinthians 15: 35,36,44...

I already know this, but people have been saying this and that is the truth about the scriptures. The pharisees of Jesus day thought Jesus was wrong about the scriptures so much so that they called him the prince of the demons and that he broke the law covenant so was a criminal. Just because...

People certainly have the right to disagree with me but as I said and will continue to say you're taking harpazo out of context. Paul was speaking about the resurrection not a rapture. I'm not going to take the word harpazo out of that context just because of what you believe or how much you...

I really don't worry about what people say about the organization of JW's. I can't verify her story to be true or not and I don't judge someone or an organization on the testimony of one person's testimony that I can't verify to be true or not. What I know is what I've been taught in the...

I'm going to disagree with you. In all the Bible translation I've read no translation translates the word harpazo as rapture. The translations of the Bible I've seen so far not saying I've seen or read all translations, translates harpazo as caught away or caught up , seize etc. but not as rapture.

Actually it's not, because the 144000 are those chosen by God. These people didn't just decide they were of the 144000 but God beared witness with their spirit that they have been chosen by God, there's no work's there at all.

The problem I have with people applying the word rapture to the word harpazo is that by doing so your taking the word hapazo out of the context that Paul was speaking about which is the resurrection. Paul was telling his fellow Christian brothers and sisters to comfort one another with the...

It's true JW's don't believe Jesus to be God but instead believe him to be the Only Begotten Son of God as the scriptures say Jesus is. As for you saying they believe that the only way to get salvation is through works that just shows you don't truly know JW's. They teach that the only way to...

I disagree that harpazo means rapture. When Paul was speaking to the Corinthians in his first letter to them at 1Corinthians chapter 15 and his first letter to the Thessalonians at 1Thessalonians 4:13-18 he was speaking of the resurrection. The scriptures clearly teach that the hope for the dead...

According to Romans 6:3-5 and 1Corinthians 15: 35,36,44 a person must die before they can gain heavenly life. What occurred in the case of Jesus set the pattern. His disciples as well as others knew he had died. That he wasn't restored to heavenly life until after his death and resurrection. In...

No, the word rapture isn't in the scriptures and the greek word harpazo doesn't mean, to rapture, it means, seize, snatch violently. Bibles translate harpazo as, caught up at 1Thessalonians 4:17. Paul was speaking of the resurrection here in 1Thessalonians 4:13-18. So for anyone to take the...

There is no rapture spoken about in the scriptures. None of the scriptures in Thessalonians or Corinthians or any other scriptures in the Bible talk about a rapture. From everything that other people have explained to me about the Rapture they believe in is that they believe some people will...

All the scriptures speak about is the resurrection not a rapture. Paul was speaking to the Thessalonians and the Corinthians about the resurrection not a rapture. I don't know what others will choose to believe but I'm not going to deny the resurrection Paul spoke about to the Thessalonians and...

The expression “heavenly places” here does not refer to their promised heavenly inheritance. They don't get their heavenly reward of immortality and inherit incorruption until they're resurrected at the second presence of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:2-6 talking about their exalted spiritual...

Johann said: Listen Barney, I know I am in good hands. I know as long as I believe what Jesus says in the scriptures like for example at John 17:3- that you must know two persons to get eternal life and after Jesus was resurrected from the dead said at John 20:17- that he has a Father and God...

I understand that people don't agree with what this scripture is saying and this disagreement has been going on for centuries. Some say that this scripture is saying that Jesus who is the Word is God and others say that Jesus who is the Word is the Only Begotten Son of God. So because of these...

Argue? So I guess now someone disagreeing with you is arguing? That would mean since you disagree with me, you're arguing. Is that what we are to do, argue with one another? I can understand someone disagreeing with me because they honestly believe that what they believe is biblical. That...
