That's funny...or sad, but it does make me smile :) The thing is though, as a society we have taken the whole "Question Authority" thing too far. We question even the word of God - which is not good or even good to condone. Which is too bad, 'cause we should question the authority of men. Not...

Either way...you made it about me.

Go ahead...make your case, that all may know the truth.

Like you would know.

This is the word from those who have not seen Him coming in the clouds. But if you only believe those who do not see Him who said "The kingdom of God does not come with observation" and "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where...

No... Jesus identified that generation as that "wicked generation" of that very time when He spoke it and when they rejected Him.

John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

My question was not for my sake, but for yours. You have misconstrued the timing of events, therefore you also confuse the fate of the flesh with that of the spirit. The error is in assuming that the resurrection of the body of Christ is proof of a physical ascension. This is the teaching of...

...And do you believe that will be in the spirit (as God is spirit) or in the flesh?

So..."when the Bridegroom comes"...do you believe you will become One in the spirit, or in the flesh?

Prayer is good. But why pray for me when I have reconciled the fact that we "were" crucified and raised up with Christ during His hour, but you have not reconciled it? Who will pray for you?

Again, I get that. But you have put off to the future what He said was [then] "at hand." So my comment to you, is that He spoke of what "quickly" took place...because He himself entered into the kingdom as "the Last" of that "fold", and "It is finished." So, then, what He eluded to of the...

No, I am not mixing, but telling you that you have the timing incorrect. You are assuming that He spoke of the future...but I am not. I am saying that He spoke to and of Israel about what was happening right then (and "quickly" thereafter). Only then does Jesus go on to the "other fold" of...

Okay, but then why did He say it? Which I say rhetorically, because it is not one or the other that is true, but both what He said and what He did are true. And if the conflict or appear to contradict, it is not because He is wrong, but because our understanding is wrong. This, is a matter of...

You are missing the point, and it is obvious that the reason, is that you are fixated on the "believers" with the idea that He was speaking to or about the "other fold" of the gentiles...when He was not, but was speaking to and about those to whom He was sent, which was only Israel. Therefore...

Your point is mute. The whole point is that Jesus was speaking to the problem and consequence of Israel not receiving Him. So, whether He was finished with every sect or not, the fact that He was already speaking of consequences was enough to show that it was a problem.

Jesus spoke to Israel of what they missed, which was not the marriage supper, but rather the reaping of the harvest for which they were employed but did not reap. That harvest was not limited to Israel however, but was a blessing for every nations and tribes throughout all the world. This was...

Not negating, but confirming it - that not having been received by Israel, He took measures toward the "other fold." And then sent Paul.

I got all that...but He himself said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” So, then, you have made a doctrine of what never was, nor shall ever be.

Hmmm... You are out of context. Jesus spoke to and of those of Israel of that time, to whom He had come, and whom did not receive Him according to the promises given to Israel. That was Jesus telling them that He would therefore invite the gentiles to take part in the "supper", which is the...
