I have great peace (internally) and no level of external conflict can take my peace! Besides The church as ambassadors of Christ may be called back home before the antichrist begins his ride.

They do but you won't accept the words as written. You have been taught to trust the faithful discreet slave class.

I think that is stretching "interpreting" beyond where it should og. One is dreams and the other is language. They may both be interpretations but for vastly different things, and dreams were not a gift given by the Spirit to edify Israel.

I would like to see how you line them up. I am certain it is the way I used to long ago.

Just simply that between teh time Mary saw HIm in the garden and was forbidden to touch HIm, and the time Jesus told Thomas to touch Him, He ascended to heaven and poured out His blood on the altar in the heavenly holy of holies, as prescribed by the law for a high priest!

And your point?

Well you misunderstood or I mis wrote- the church is composed of peoples in all denominations who0 have trusted in the death and resurrection of jesus as the full and total payment for their sin. No people within all denominations that are savced are the church (the ekklesia or called out...

And you know this how? It is a safe assumption, but an assumption. No Jesus needed to show them the signs that are the end times. THE Abomination entering the temple is the big sign! agreed Jesus did not say what starts the 7 year trib or Daniels 70th week. Daniel under inspiration did...

You love piping up just to show you are wrong with your watchtower beliefs.

Well when you give me Scripture which is the facts for believers, I will listen, but as you love to give allegorical reinterpretations and slick philosophical arguments, no you have not given factual rebuttals. You believe what your bishops and popes have taught you whether it is biblical or...

Or is it your men that are not telling you the truth. We test all teachings and "doctrines" by what is Scripture. I know your church doesn't. And what teachings do I hold that are opposite of Scripture? That faith alone through grace apart from any works saves me?

Which church? and you know what I mean! Iwas threatened with excommunication from the RCC for rejecting transubstantiation, Mary stayed a virgin and she had no sin. For these have no place in Scripture nor should they have any place in the minds and hearts of those who follow Christ! And...

On this we agree! The teachings of the Apostles are the first and final word for the church. and those words were closed with the death of JOhn!

Yes we are to suffer for His sake, but that is not to suffer for salvation! Only Jesus blood shed paid for our sins, our sufferings do not. they are simply things that happen to those who live godly.

Straining at gnats! Jesus presented His blood sometime after He saw Mary in the garden and before He told Thomas to touch Him. John 20:16-17 King James Version 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 17 Jesus saith unto her...

Well I agree context determines precise meanings. But the Olivet discourse is broken into two major themes. Matthews portion focuses more on teh end, while Lukes focuses more on the time from the birth of the church to the destruction of the temple. Remember the signal to flee in Matthew is...

Because he was showing what was NOT asign! Matthew 24:4-6 King James Version 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that...

There was no gift of tongues in the OT? Tongues as spoken of in Cornthians is a gift from the Holy Spirit given to the church. And based on Scripture, what I believe is true.

Thus endeth this fruitless conversation. Learn the Scriptures better and we can have a more enlightened discussion. Have the last word if you wish.
