    Rapture is not in the Bible

    You are attempting to hold to a literal translation...as if the "Lamb" of God were also a literal young sheep. And I have attempted to show you the greater parables. But if you do not want to go, then stay.

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    You judge Christ, for it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me. And so shall you be judged.

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    Indeed, what chance has the truth against the words? I shall have to ask the Pharisees. Good luck with your reading.

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    I have answered and explained, and you dis' me and tell me I have not answered. I will not answer you...again.

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    You don't want me to explain the parable? No problem. Why would I read back to you what you do not understand? I have done better than quote.

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    Yes, big difference...that is what I have been saying. "Sky" was me being facetious about your apparent interpretation of where Christ went and will again descend from. It was me who indicated that was wrong. We aren't going to get anywhere if you go flying off like this. I didn't say caught up...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    You have not been getting much of what I said...and now your summary shows it. Let ME summarize, you're not doing so good: Jesus lowered himself (not literally from upstairs, but in stature). He died for our sins. He rose again (not just from his earthly tomb, and not to the rooftop or the...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    If you are going to refer to the truth as bs, then we will have to slow down and take things one at a time. I did start with Christ's comment. I said that. Then I explained that I started at the finish...because Christ had the final say. Simple English.

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    Not exactly. What I am saying - if I use myself as an example, is that I sinned my last some moments before Christ saved me, made me a new creation...that that old man is dead, and I live with and in Christ and Him in me, who can do no sin, for He to died to sin on a cross. But if you witness...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    If I have started with you at the finish, it is only because that is where we are. No, that was me assuming you would take Christ's comment as the final word on the matter. Descending from the sky would be geographical. But the kingdom of God (heaven), according to Jesus, "is within you", not...

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    No...It is just the opposite of that...as I have shown you in the scripture. But apparently you do not love the truth.

    Catholics

    This is a tough subject. But it is like being "saved" while in the rain...and then thinking that the rain should stop, or have anything to do with your inner self. It doesn't.

    Salvation loss. Is it possible?

    That is not a proper or even good representation of the salvation process. You have a way of not representing the whole truth of scripture. You cannot say all that and contradict the dozens of other scriptures that say that "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    I am not starting with Christ's comment, but finishing with it. This is the nature of God's continued revelation unto all truth. In Him all things are "finished." His statement does not mean that "caught up" does not mean "caught up", but rather it explains just [how] it is meant. Yes, "rose...

    Carnal Christians ?

    It is good to know the battles that were fought leading up to Christ's victory, but that was then, and this is now. Christ has overcome the world and taken possession of those whom are His. If we are "saved" by this victory, "it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us." Against...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    Let me say first, that it would appear that we are in agreement that the scriptures are true. But thank you for noting the issues. I submit that what I have asserted is not different than what is written, only that it is a difference of perspective, as "discerned spiritually." So, then, one at...

    Rapture is not in the Bible

    Keep looking. :) “Surely I am coming quickly.”

    Is Christ now only a spirt or still a resurrected man

    It's really quite simple: God is spirit. The Father is greater than the Son. Jesus went to the Father. I think the misunderstanding here, is simply the inability to imagine that the spirit is greater than the flesh. So many just read into the scriptures what they want to hear. But that is just...

    Carnal Christians ?

    It does...if you can receive it. We should consider that just as it is now with new believers, during the time when Christ and the apostles preached, the word was mostly for the unsaved, and therefore spoke of the unsaved experience. But the verse above was for the knowledge of what was to be...
