    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    What I did was RELENT with kind concession (more than was done for the Priests and the Pharisees). But you have rejected it.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    No, and you are obviously not listening, for I explained the difference between sinning and Him only bearing the sins of the world. And in the same post you falsely accuse me. PS, On second thought...this is not good that we should be at each other over what are perhaps semantic differences. In...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    The problem is you have contradicted yourself with these two posts (below), as if Jesus never died (meaning never died for sin), nor was ever raised up as "firstfruits" of those "born again." Which I do not say to claim that Jesus was not before the foundation of the world--He was. But the...

    Secular legal question

    If you have a deed for your property, you have proof. If it is disputed, the legal system will establish if your property is actually your property. Meanwhile, if you are quite certain that it is your property, you can do what ever you want on it within the laws of your state, city, etc.. Also...

    How would you reach out to a non-believer in a way that it doesn't sound fake but real?

    Just live it in the way that Paul came to say "for me"--"to live is Christ." Beyond that be observant and caring, listen, and only speak when it seems welcome; and when the opportunity presents itself, give your own testimony of what God and coming to know Him has done in your own life. Be a...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    I have nothing to correct. There is simply a difference between "committing sin" and "being sin" (or taking sin upon Himself)...and you apparently have the idea of "committing sin" stuck in your mind--which I did not say. I am not saying Jesus sinned, nor have I. However, in order for Jesus to...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    The point is that even committing no sin Himself, Jesus took it upon Himself, meaning that He became a man born of the same "kind" as Adam who bore many children born of sin after him. That was the first act of the salvation plan of God, which was the baptism of water and death. The second and...

    Secular legal question

    Just drive a couple of your own posts on your own property and hang some wire fencing in front of his gate. If He damages it--then call the cops.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    I was responding to (correcting you) on this..which you definitely did "attribute": Again, Jesus did not remain sinless, but "became sin" ("he hath made him to be sin") 2 Corinthians 5:21.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    You can attempt to rationalize that Jesus did not take on "the form of a bondservant, and come in the likeness of men", but it isn't so. The problem with such an hypothesis is that the sentence of death for sin was upon mankind-- meaning He had to be a man of that kind. That, by definition, is...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin..." 2 Corinthians 5:21 For which He suffered death.

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    That is not an accurate understanding of what actually occurred. It is true that no man procreated to conceive Jesus. But the error and misunderstanding then is to assume that the Holy Spirit did. He did not. On the contrary, what actually occurred is equally true of all who are born of...

    The Person Without The Spirit Does Not Accept The Things That Come From The Spirit Of God

    Indeed, and what is most amazing is that, just as Paul sighted above, this condition of "not accepting the things that come form the Spirit of God" is quite common among the people of God. Paul spoke of the Priests and would be members of the early church of the time, and it has continued to...

    Is Race A Myth?

    We know what the worst of race issues looks like (all too well). To the contrary, what it would look like if we rejected race as an issue, we have also seen. In fact there are some incredibly beautiful interactions between those of race difference that are also there and should be the thing that...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    You (and most of Christendom for 2,000 years) are trying to fit the kingdom and the events thereof into this world and its timeline which cannot and does not contain them. The kingdom of God, is not of this world. In that greater kingdom reality, the rapture and the resurrection are only one...

    Meaning of This Generation Will Not Pass Away Until All These Things Take Place

    I wasn't speaking in terms of discussion, that I might be "wrong." I was stating the facts. But you are thinking too small. Babylon was just the namesake of Babylon the great, which being "great" means all...not when Babylon was great, or when the spirit of Babylon would be great again at other...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Every influence is like the waves that toss a ship, in this case the ship of destiny regarding these times of the gentiles. But the greater cause, what in fact creates the multitude of influences, is the nature of mankind being a fallen kind. Essentially, the false teachings within the church...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Unfortunately the stumbling block that has plagued the church, is not [actually] rightly dividing the word of truth between the events of this world and those of the kingdom of God that is not of this world. Thus, one either changes from their worldly paradigm and way of thinking, or dies before...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    David, Yes, the closest theory on the rapture/resurrection is "Post-Tribulation", meaning after tribulation. The problem however, and why I in fact say it too is wrong, is because most who believe the "post" theory to be true, believe it comes as a one-time worldly event, which it is not. That...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Answers: Both Daniel and Paul and even Jesus only eluded to the time of the so called rapture. Paul was most revealing, saying "but each one in his own order." Jesus did not lie, but only eluded to what is true. But it is a play on words--a question which few even consider: When is it in...
