What I have told you does match the scriptures. But you are seeing the parable, and I am explaining it. Perhaps it does not make sense because you have not considered that the subject and the object of all parables are not the same, but different.

You have quoted the verses showing them as the same event, all these things being "in the twinkling of an eye." But you have separated them as different events, just because he has broken them out to see for our understanding. By the same logic God would not be One, but many...which is not...

Christ is One, just as God is One. But one who is One, does not turn to himself and ask or wonder if he is not one. He knows, because he looks to himself and sees only One. But the one who looks to himself and those around him and sees division, that person is not One. That person is in the...

I give you nothing, nor do I need to. Nor do you have anything. You speak of the affairs of men, I speak of the spirit of God. You speak of the "rock', I speak of the "Rock." Come, or go. That is the choice you have been given.

My roots are sin, and I do go and sin no more. If all do not speak the same, we do not all speak the same. But those who speak the same, speak the same because they are One. He did not say "unity" but "love" (one another), but I understand your point. What you describe is the world seeing the...

Indeed, there is One whom has authority and the final say, the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not the church that is divided. Nor are there any denominations in the church, only branches. It is the world that is divided, and if the church has let the world in, it is not the church in the church, but...

Not at all. It is the husband who portrays Christ, therefore the message is the same - Christ has the final say, and directs and makes things clear for the bride. Male and female, He made us. That is not part of our job description. It is Christ whom carries the sword that divides, and if we are...

That is a good analogy, but it would be more like: It would be nice if both teams and all the players were on home plate singing Kumbaya, but that is not how the game is played, and not how you get home.

And what should be said also...is that all races are good, because they are of God.

You are propagating the teachings of men. All of those verses are true, but the interpretation is not. Paul does not declare a mass event, but "each in his own order." Christ tells us that that time is "the end." Paul, then, clarifies to say, that "We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be...

No...the original splinter was in following a man instead of the spirit of God: the rock, instead of the Rock.

Jesus said it best: "deny yourself", and Paul adds, "to live is Christ." When Christ comes to us, it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. So, then, if we do not give Christ first position in our life in all things, we are not bearing our cross, but denying Christ in our life...

This is weakness.

How can anything be cut, that is not first allowed to grow?

It is as I said in post #20. Do the chefs see eye to eye with the waiters, or do the jockeys always agree with the horse trainers, or do players never argue with coaches? If they are one restaurant, and of one horse, or one team, why is it so hard to see that the church is one body if they are...

That would certainly be the world view. But, if we are of Christ, we are not of the world. The world is dead: "passing away", and so too, is the flesh. So, when Paul made his statement of women being silent in church, he was not referring to females, but of the dead, being different than the...

And so you shall remain as you are.

Just as Paul explained the "one body" analogy, the foot is not the eye, nor should it try to be, nor should they see thing the same or have the same perspective. But what you see in the church today, is not division, it is the dead speaking. Paul also goes on to say that women should be silent...

It was Christ who came for the house of Israel. But Paul's ministry was not Israel, but rather the gentiles. So their message was indeed different...because they preached to two different groups. Nonetheless, they preached the same gospel. But each from different sides of the cross, each under a...

Only, it was not I who said it. And for believing and taking the Lord at His word, you call me perverted. I guess that is the thing about unbelief. :( Yes, and I will speak against seeing through a glass dimly, now that He has shown Himself face to face.
