Why? Stranger

Didn't I just give you Scripture? Stranger

Please. The reason why the disciples asked is because Jesus had not taught in parables before. Thus they were wanting to know why. And Jesus told them why. Concerning the kingdom of God, it is now taught in parabolic form. To hide truth form those who reject Him and reveal truth to those...

I can say that because I didn't jump from (2 Thess. 2:1) to (2 Thess. 2:3). I included (2 Thess. 2:2). (2 Thess. 2:1-3) " Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him. That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither...

Brother, I would encourage you to rethink that. Just because Walmart sells it or it is translated doesn't mean it is not holy and sacred. What makes it holy and sacred is it is the written Word of God. And, if you put it in a paper shredder knowing it is the Bible, I wouldn't want to be...

No, I don't pick and choose. If Scripture indicates something is a parable or a symbol, then it is to be interpreted as such. But, with you, it is all parable, and all symbolic, so that you can dream up your own interpretation and look...oh so spiritual. Because you make it sound so...good...

So? This doesn't teach that Jesus always taught in parables. I am not saying that Jesus didn't use parables. But not everything Jesus said is a parable to be mutilated by you and ScottA and others, by which you come up with your own words and interpretation, by which you can make Scripture...

These speak to the mystery of the kingdom of God. It doesn't mean everything in the Bible is a parable. In other words, it doesn't give you the license to dream up whatever you like. Which is what you do. Stranger

Indeed, Jesus Christ is God and Man. He is the GodMan. Stranger

Where do you get that Jesus always taught in parables? The Bible, by Jesus example is to be taken literally. Your last paragraph makes no sense. Stranger

The order for Lazarus to come forth was not a prayer. It was a command. But it was a command after a prayer. (John 11:41-42) "...And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand...

Well, you skipped (2 Thess.2:2). Once you read that in you will see that the phrase "for that day shall not come" in (2:3) refers not to the 'gathering' in (2:1), but to the 'day of Christ' which is the day of the Lord. (2 Thess. 2:2-3) "...be not soon shaken in mind...that the day of Christ...

Well, you disagreed with the rapture. I wouldn't say you refuted it. There are plenty of believers who believe It. No, those are things one must believe in order to be in agreement with you...to allow your theology to work. To disagree with you doesn't mean one jumps to conclusions. Stranger

Read the book. Why would you not want to do that? Read it and let me know. You won't lie to me will you? Stranger

I claim to be Christian. I make no claim to being good. And, no one said anything about 'hell' till you entered. And, neither do I care for someone entering in a high and mighty fashion, portraying themselves as some 'peacemaker' as you do. Save your words for another. That is my...

Listen. You say it makes no sense to you, yet you haven't read the book. Does that make sense to you? It doesn't to me. So, you can have it read by tomorrow. You can do it. Get back with me after you have read the book. Stranger

And you're a liar. (Heb. 10:5) "...Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me". (John 20:17) "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father" (John 20:27) "Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands...

(Mark 4:11) "And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables" See? All these things speak to the parables of the mystery form of the kingdom. Not to everything Christ said. And not...

What does Fwiw mean? I don't know which book of Job you are addressing. The one in the Bible or some other one you spoke of. If you had wanted to, you could have read the whole book by now and probably been able to answer most of your questions. So, why didn't you? Read it and let me know...
