You just put Jesus's ascension before Him speaking of great tribulations. But, no, that is in the wrong order. This is the proper order: First He spoke of great tribulation, then the greatest tribulation--all tribulations--the complete wrath of God came upon Jesus, then He rose from the dead...

This is quite commonly misunderstood as a put off meaning that Jesus has not returned, when in fact that is not what it says. But it only eludes to what is meant, whereby imposing the same type of blindness place upon Israel, now also placed upon the gentiles for the same reason: until the...

Okay. These things foretold also included great tribulation...which I only bring up as a point of reference. Now, the great tribulation was to be "such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be." Which I would challenge you to name a greater...

It is not anyone's opinion that trumps any consensus...but rather the Father that trumps Peter, and who is the "rock" and who is the "Rock", regarding the things Jesus said to Peter.

Yes...but what have you not seen? I would like to address each one at a time.

It simply means we completely trust in God (In God We Trust). God is good, but it is the world that includes both darkness and light (evening and morning, good and evil)...by His design. So in the world we will experience both, but what men may foolishly mean for evil (to their own downfall)...

This is true...but with the understanding that "the living in Christ" also includes the living (alive in the Spirit) who have already come to the end of their days on earth, as well as those "alive and remaining." Each is taken "each in his own order." This is also what Christ referred to...

That is good--but "at an hour you do not expect."

Yes, these are signs of the times. But what have you not seen?

Loved it! "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." "In God We Trust."

Unfortunately for those churches, by that same measure that they measure, they have limited the terms regarding themselves. :( But as you have said, though they may withdraw, God has not, nor has He left them without. Praise God!

It is that time of the Father's choosing where one lays down the life of that old man of flesh and blood, not literally, but in heart, that they gain life again by the spiritual resurrection of Christ--this is that day and hour which no one knows, not even the Son, but the Father only. This is...

We abide in Christ by first hearing Him knock at the door and answer, allowing Him to abide in us. It is only Him in us that makes it possible for us to abide in Him. We must be fully given over to Him, a complete surrender--which is us laying down our life, that He may take it up again--just...

I would not consider this a Calvinist issue, but rather an issue of all those in the church who place a heavy burden on any who are just learning of Christ and the gospel. It is an offense to God, Him having drawn them in love, to not have them also met and welcomed into the church in love. The...

These things are mostly correct, with the exception of the timing. It is true that we do not proceed Israel (the dead in Christ). That is a different matter. But regarding the deceased of the church, though each leaves this world "each in his own order", we all join Christ as one (together)...

You are lashing back--and what you have assumed of others is not true. They too know the scriptures. It is slanderous, the very thing you are saying is wrong. If you want to come together...do not divide.

Okay...this needs to stop. Here again is you quoting the psalm referencing a "false witness." ...I also quoted you quoting it in post #315.

God is the god of the living...any who have died to the flesh but are alive to God--they are alive in Christ. Praying between the living is good and biblical. As for praying for the dead...they lived and died in their times. But to be clear: this topic is not to included Israel, for they only...

These things I have answered. Apparently you did not hear--as you say, just "As expected." That is the measure by which you have also received.

Thank you! The confusion then, stems from your responses to my post by quoting the psalm addressing false witnesses. I can now see that you posted the psalm for the first part only...but it does say more, and you quoted it all. As I said: Not to worry. We can be done with it. Carry on.
