    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    I would have to say that you are assuming too much, that God the Son would have to be in creature (or physical, or flesh) form to be visible to the Father. By what is written, it is not required that one have creature form to be visible, but rather that we "see Him as He is." That would indicate...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Yes, and as I elaborated, it was limited by the example because using the flesh to portray a spiritual matter relative to the resurrection--but specifically not the resurrection, just as Mary noted. At most it was one of those "like unto" examples. In the process though, as Jesus said, it was...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Yes, and a good thing to observe here is that Paul did not quote Jesus' words exactly, but paraphrased and even built upon the same principle foundation, all of which agrees scripture to scripture. Each person sent does their own work having the same Spirit.

    The Sun Shall Be Turned Into Darkness

    Indeed, the moon is not a light, that is, just like Satan, it is a vision of light that is not His own. And, yes, there are other examples given, but from the beginning it was God vs. Satan, Light and darkness.

    The Sun Shall Be Turned Into Darkness

    The world happened. His story.

    Body of Christ never mentioned in Revelation, but The Bride is.

    It is that very thing that qualifies you--you shall indeed come to know all!

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    That "flesh and blood unit" is just an outward image, but having no actual substance. Matter is a myth. God spoke and cast us in His "image." Like an image in a mirror, it only reflects God's word on the whole matter.

    Body of Christ never mentioned in Revelation, but The Bride is.

    Nancy...there are seven churches mentioned in Revelation: Revelation 2:7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

    The Sun Shall Be Turned Into Darkness

    Just who it is that rules what: Genesis 1:16 "Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also."

    The Sun Shall Be Turned Into Darkness

    Not exactly. You see, there is no actual timeline. Those events are with God, in God, whom is the same yesterday, today, and forever. They are simply written revelations in story form. Better then to hear from God in the way that He exists, rather than the way we think we exist. So...all of...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    You obviously do not believe that "all is vanity", meaning "breath", "vapor", or "emptiness." Just because we see a friend walk through this world the same as we do, seemingly walking, talking, and having a form of perceived "literal" substance...we should not believe the scriptures that say...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    By "literally" I gather you mean, in worldly terms rather than heavenly terms. But, yes, it is written, and so it is; and yes, those saints are with Christ.

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    This is a big subject, one that has not been fully understood and even taught in error for 2000+ years. I will try to address things one at a time and concisely: I am not out of context...but you are correct, each body does produce "after his kind." But the leap is not out of context, but...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Matthew 27:50-54 "And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    So...you're convinced then, just like the demons, great!

    The Sun Shall Be Turned Into Darkness

    This is the same as this passage, only in other words: Revelation 8:1 "When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour." Both are "the shadow of death."

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Paul also said, "you do not sow that body that shall be." The common mistake and misunderstanding that is made, is that when Christ laid down His life and took it up again in the flesh, it was not that resurrection. His rising from the dead in the flesh was only the manifestation of His having...

    The New Covenant

    This is yet another issue where time messes with people's understanding--but it is both, both with Israel and with the church...for the two meet in the air.

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    "Depart visibly? Bodily?" --Yes! But to say that He arrived in heaven that way, is not biblical. To say so would be to deny each of the scriptures I quoted. That's not good enough. For the whole truth, you need to reconcile all that is written, not just pick out the parts that seems right to...

    The "like manner" of Acts 1:9-11

    Yes, all is manifest for that purpose. Each in his own order (time), until the end. Which is to say, that what is man-ifest shall come to pass, but that which is born of God and of His spirit, is forever.
