    Is The Rapture A Literal Event?

    Perhaps you can put things IN CONTEXT, and help out with the following. John 1 [13] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Who are the parents of the Elijah and Enoch you mentioned? And do you believe Jesus (John...

    Hi Stan ~ Can't quote a number. To otherwise answer your question... 1) Warning. Gen 2: [17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 2) Failure to heed warning...Appointment with Death required...

    Is The Rapture A Literal Event?

    Agree. I find Scripture silent on the Body's of Saints who rose up out of their graves. Do you have a Scripture relating to that? Body, soul & spirit? BEFORE Christ Jesus? Who is First/Before ALL things? Col 1 [17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Glory to...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I find it kind of funny, that people who Don't believe something, think themselves the most qualified to Define what they Do not believe or understand. I am also amused, when an other DOES have something they DO believe, that they can NOT explain HOW or WHY they came to their Belief. The Pope...

    Is The Rapture A Literal Event?

    Point. Bodies of men do not go up to the high heaven. Enoch question; Why not? DO not, is a reference to a humans body presently. YOU reiterated the same concept... Ie "will be". Much has NOT YET been fulfilled. (Continued Division, Great Tribulation, Millennium reign, Chaos, Raising up in...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Can't say for sure. Perhaps smiling to Finally see the self-proclaimed Catholic teacher in Agreement with Scripture that Jesus came to earth "AS" a human. Phil 2 [5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in [B Christ Jesus: [/B] [6] Who, being in the Form of God, thought it not robbery to...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I do not deny Jesus came to earth IN THE LIKENESS AS A MAN, just as Scripture Says. YOU EXPAND the Scripture TO Ridiculous length...making the TRUTH, A LIE. Making God fertilizing Mary's egg. Making God a HUMAN. Making God the Creator of Himself! Making God the Same KIND of thing, He created...

    Already have. TY. The Point is: Body's of men, Do not go UP to the High Heavens. Body's of "saved and born again" men, Are Lifted UP Off the Face of the Earth. It signifies, what comes Nexr... Destruction upon the Earth. The Saved and Born Again are NOT Subject to; and SAVED FROM Gods Wrath...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Wrong again. God established "KINDS" of things. God established "FROM" WHERE those "KINDS" of things "CAME". REPRODUCED "KINDS" of things "Come FROM" SEEDS, After IT OWN KIND of thing. Gen 1 [11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding...

    REALLY? People are READING Scripture to FIND OUT, they were NATURALLY BORN with a MIND that can MAKE it's OWN "behavioral" CHOICES of the person? LOL. The Scriptures ARE FULL of descriptions of BEHAVIORS of people. Behaviors THAT, are ACCEPTABLE to GOD... ...called Good. Behaviors THAT, are...

    Define "kecharitomene", and see if the Definition of that "word" means...SINLESS. No one is arguing that Mary was NOT set apart. No one is arguing that Mary was NOT "IN CHRIST"....DUH, you were shown the Scripture of EXACTLY when that happened...(AFTER Jesus returned to Heaven!) You...

    No, it simply reveals YOUR LACK of UNDERSTANDING and WILLINGNESS to believe what you ARE TOLD, and FAIL to VERIFY WHAT you ARE TOLD is TRUE according to GODS WORD! Glory to God, Taken

    Why? I own several Bibles and can Read. I find no such thing, IN Scripture or IN the meaning of Words from One Language to Another. Latin ~ rapio Meaning ~ seized or snatched from one place to another. Latin ~ rapturo Meaning ~ Caught up Greek ~ harpazo Meaning ~ snatch or take away...
