“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!" :(

I have explained what you did not understand, and have explained my explanation, and now explain again: Even Jesus explained scripture and his own words using other words and did not change the meaning. Nor have I changed the meaning. You need to ask yourself why you will not hear.

Okay, so I can see that you are looking only at the words and not discerning the scripture spiritually...which is why I used the metaphor of tongues. Sorry, from now on I will stick to English. So, the term "order" simply refers to the order or time of when "each" comes into the world...and...

Buddyt, Please consider using the "Reply" feature...so I am alerted to your reply. That is the misunderstanding of many. Yet, Paul explains that it is not a one time event, but instead it is "as with Adam." With Adam all died - but not as a one time event. So, too, is it with the resurrection...

No, "one speaks in tongues, another interprets."

First, it is important to separate what is said of the "dead" (in Christ) from what is said of the "living." Also, that during that generation, Paul is addressing some of each group - some of the "dead in Christ", and some of the "living." As for the "living", we are "changed" (and become "a...

I understand the scripture, but I do not understand what you are saying you disagree with. You refer to the second part of verse 23 "afterward they that are Christ's at his coming." What is your point? My point...is that "we who are alive" "pass from death to life" "at his coming"...meaning...

Each in his own order...means, each in [his] order (singular) - not, each in [their] own order (as in the case of first fruits - plural). But the answer of [when] "each" is caught up is - just as it says: when they are "dead." In other words, not a some mass, future event...but when "each"...

If I may... You have quoted correctly, but not understood. If you go to the "end" of a road today, and I go to the "end" of the same road tomorrow...who arrives first? And if you die tomorrow and I die the next day, who shall see the face of God first? What you have not considered, is that the...

Yes...I just skimmed through...but your assertions are generally correct.

Just as you have quoted it: "as in Adam" all die - not all with Adam at once in a mass event, but "each in his own order"...throughout the course of time, as it is now evident.

Again, yes, but no. It is correct that it is a one time mass event, but only from the eternal perspective. But from our worldly perspective, it is as Paul indicated: "each in his own order" (each in his own time).

This is a Yes - but No, issue: Is there a rapture? Yes. Does it occur as a mass event at some future date? No. The rapturous experience described in scripture is accurate enough...it is just the timing that is confused. Indeed the answer is given in the above verses, as the time of falling...

This all speaks of labor pains. But I do not participate in the Catholic and Protestant opposition. Though I do not condemn it either, for in the body analogy, it is the driving force of the legs, one thrusting backward and the other forward, that drives us on. So then, if I, speaking from the...

God doesn't kill babies - he saves them. It is a great misunderstanding of humanity to think of a free-fall toward death as life, when it would be better described as a slow death. The misunderstanding is one of context. We are destine for death from birth...and it is God who has come to our...

This is all just a misunderstanding, an inability to relate to the greater complexity of God through human eyes. It's ridiculous. But even using a man as an example...if I am a father to my son and a son to my father, should my own children deny that I am a son because they have not seen my...

I will quote you again then: ...You say Jesus is merely "called" God, and is "as" a mere "representation." So...are you saying that Jesus is God or not? Because your words so far say he is not.

This is you saying Jesus is NOT Emanuel (God with us). You have spoken. So be it.

If we call Jesus Christ Emanuel, being God with us, whom lowered himself for us...is he lesser for having done so? Certainly not. Or if we have seen Christ, but not the Father, have we not seen the Father also...as he himself said? Of if we are filled with the Spirit of God, shall we not call...

"Today" is the day of salvation...meaning that we can be saved from our fallen [nature] today: A new creation - today. But most see it incorrectly as a process, and therefore only receive in part what God has made available in full. Whether we think "the day is coming" or that "today" we are...
