    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    "Called from the grave" is "this world" language for all who have died ("but each one in his own order"). If you will notice, that is not what it actually says in the verses you quoted.

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    You have quoted the verses. That all was from the perspective of "this world" so "up" was part of the presentation to metaphorically demonstrate that God is "higher." But Stephen did not go anywhere--that is the point--and it all happened then at that time, not in the future (as many believe).

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    You're doing it again--not "rightly dividing the word of truth." The day the Lord came (again) to Stephen, was that not "the Day of The Lord" and also "The End of This World" for Stephen, just as Paul said it would come, "but each one in his own order?" That is exactly what it was...and that...

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    Opinions don't count. You have it correct--but you are not understanding even what you yourself said. When is "The End" for someone whose time ended yesterday, or a year ago, or a thousand years ago? The times of "this world" are not the measure of the things of God, but only those things...

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    I already gave the biblical scenario with what is written of Stephen. What is it about Stephen's experience you think is missing regarding the return of Jesus? As for your "red flag" scenario--you just condemned most of the prophets. Good thing you are not actually Judge.

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    I was not asking a question that you should answer, I was stating a fact. But obviously you are considering the matter from the perspective of this world (and making the words fit those terms). I was not, but was giving the truth from God from His perspective rather than the perspective of this...

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    Because many are dead...which, for the dead, is when every eye shall see. This is a great mystery: We all leave this world "but each one in his own order"--but we all arrive in the presence of God--together.

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    So it may seem, but there is still part of that lost in translation and common understanding. What is unseen is that salvation which comes "but each one in his own order" is that holy fire come down. But the earth is not dissolved until the last trump. There is more, but it is enough for...

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    Yes, for Stephen did not ascend, but Jesus and the Father came (again) to where he was--even showing that ascension is not actually up, but "within" as Jesus said, and only metaphorically up, as being "higher", as God is higher. But the important thing to learn and to know--is He did not come...

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    What is missing in that understanding, is that it is "literally" impossible for every eye to see Him on one day in this world. Which is why it says "with clouds"--because it is not in this world, but in spirit (clouds). Which comes to some in death, some when born again--"but each one in his...

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    And here is your name-calling again. But no, it is you--you who "have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    Is God a "metaphor" to you then--because He is spirit? Is Christ's return "in the glory of the Father"--who is spirit--only a "metaphor?" Do you not know that to say such a thing is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    This is the clarification that Paul made, saying, "but each one in his own order."

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    You can tell that to Stephen when you see him. But he'll surely correct you--for both Jesus and the Father came [again] to him. But the good news of the gospel of Christ is that since Pentecost we need not pass from this body of flesh for Him to come. As He said, "Behold, I stand at the door...

    Man's Preterism, An Abomination

    It is obvious that this is all a pet peeve of yours--even from childhood apparently. The problem--and you make some good points--is you have only developed your own tethers, and call many that try to show you your own errors: "Preterists." In fact, you are quite unapproachable, and quickly...

    In these Days the Wolves think they the sheep!

    The passage you chose was regarding the Temple of Jesus's time and before, for which He turned over the tables of the money-changers...having nothing to do with entering into the spiritual rest of God that would only begin with Jesus as firstfruits after He died, rose again, and ascended. That...

    Isreal

    Kayla, Jesus was the Alpha and Omega, the First and Last...meaning the first and last of both houses, the house of Israel and now this house among the gentiles, the Church. When He said "It is finished", everything He came to do had done for the house of Israel for whom He had first come, was...

    A Conflict in the Old Testament- a Tip of the Iceberg?

    There is no conflict between the old and the new, but between the flesh and the Spirit. But you are missing the point. The flesh, the Law, the Old Testament, and the house of Israel was first and foundational pointing to the spiritual--as it is written: "The spiritual is not first, but the...

    Democracy is a farce

    The USA is not a Democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic. But neither of those is the real reason for not fully releasing the Epstien files and no arrests. The reason is we are under Continuity of Government and the covert takedown of those that should be arrested, and very little can be...

    How do you contain your ego and self-pride and be humble?

    Simply understand and take to heart that in and of ourself--we are little more than death waiting to pass. Scum, destined to fail and collapse under our own weight. I am well aware--and I remember that. But now--I am who God says I am--saved.
