Actually Jesus returns twice...

[Spiritual Israelite]

Rev 19 return is not "like manner" in which Jesus ascended.

Do you believe He will return visibly and bodily at that time? If so, then it's the same manner in which He ascended. You're reading more into Acts 1:11 than what is there.

I disagree with your made up biblical gymnastics. Sorry.

LOL. You're not sorry. But, you're also being completely unreasonable here. Neither 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 nor Revelation 19:11-21 can be compared to Acts 1:11 in every possible way, but that seems to be what you insist in order for Acts 1:11 and Revelation 19:11-21 to be about the same event. Yet, you have no such requirement for seeing 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 and Acts 1:11 as being the same event, which is very inconsistent. So, you are the one making things up, not me.

We have got to rise up to be with him before we can return with him to reign a thousand years.

100% CORRECT

EASY READ

That we may perfect understanding = please read 1st Thess straight thru beginning in chapter 1 and then get back to me and confirm what you read.
