Well, what about the rest of the world...? Will there be no one anywhere else other than... You know, Jesus did say, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5)... It does no such thing. We will go out ~ up ~ to meet Jesus in His coming, but there is nothing...

Much agreed. There is a sense in with it has been fulfilled, but similarly a sense that it has not yet been fulfilled: It has been fulfilled in the sense that the time is now here, and that this is what is happening... God is putting His laws into our minds, writing them on our hearts, and He...

I would say, Ziggy ~ and you might agree ~ that... Well, you're talking about gifts of the Spirit, which Paul talks about in Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12. And I agree, but I would say that none of us are limited to one spiritual gift, but that one or two may be far dominant to the others in...

Well, hard-headedness is hard to overcome. :) Something else that what others wrongly think they mean, yes. They impose things on these plainly stated Scriptures, inadvertently making them into something other than they are. And in doing so, very often they inadvertently make other...

He certainly did, yes. No, but He surely called many ethnic Jews to be Christian, as you said. And as such they are Jewish Christians. God calls folks from every tongue, tribe, and nation. Ahhhhh, here we go. Yes, God calls everyone in a certain sense ~ the general call of the Gospel is to...

Yeah I say much the same. Thanks Paul. And Peter. And Isaiah. And a host of others. But really, thanks be to God, Who is really the Author of His Word. Grace and peace to you.

John 1:3, Peterlag, says ~ and again, I'm quoting ~ "All things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made." All things means all things, Peterlag, not, somehow, "all things except for one thing." In effect it does, because in John 1:14, John says, "And the...

Maybe I misunderstood you, but I seem to remember you postulating just that. Okay, I see you saying above "removal to a safe place on earth." Okay, well I disagree with that, too. :) Ah. Gotcha. :) Grace and peace to you.

And ~ I'm being a bit facetious with this ~ where's He going after that? :) No, when He comes back, heaven and earth will finally be one. He won't be going anywhere, nor will He take anyone with Him, either at His return or any number of years after. :) Well, this is where we could get into...

I agree wholeheartedly. But how can you see in that passage ~ because it is surely not there ~ that with or without anyone He then returns to heaven? Grace and peace to you, Keraz.

There is no "contemporary" or otherwise with God's Word. Well, unless you consider it all contemporary, regardless of any time reference, which is true in the case of God, the great I AM, and His Word, which stands/endures forever. Grace and peace to you.

Ah. So you're including Paul among those you consider "racist anti-semitic satanists." Hm. Well... Grace and peace to you.

He probably was well aware that he would be perceived as such by some. :) But that's speculation on my part, of course. :) Grace and peace to you!

Jesus was not "made." As John says, "(a)ll things were made through Him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made" (John 1:3). With regard to Adam, his failure is what made necessary Jesus's coming. Jesus... succeeded, to put it mildly. :) And this was because in addition to...

Might as well accuse Paul of anti-semitism... "For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God" Romans...

This is incorrect. The definition of the Koine Greek verb 'harpazō' used in the New Testament is "to seize upon, spoil, snatch away or take to oneself.” Nothing about removal or taken somewhere else is intimated in any way in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 or anywhere else. This seizing is what will...

Excellent question. Especially in view of the passages from Paul's letters about all those, Jew and Gentile alike, who are in Christ, and the Hebrews 1 passage in my signature: "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days He has...

I did? :) Okay, sure. Yeah, I kind of picture Jesus always out among His people... :) And He will forever be our King... :) Maybe He and I will have a round of golf together, at, say, Pebble Beach, since we have eternity to do that... :) And maybe I'll even beat Him... :laughing: Hm...

Well, opinions are like noses... :) Well, sitting in the seat of David's kingship over Israel ~ again, in the Greater sense. And He is. The idea that Jesus is actually sitting on God's hand is ridiculous, of course. :) That's what people who are not really thinking are thinking...

"For no one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God" (Paul, who ethnically was very, very, very Jewish, Romans...
