Had you carefully studied the context of these words, you would have discovered that this was NOT a challenge to the expectatation of the supernatural. Christ ascended to Heaven supernaturally, and the apostles were assured by an angel that they could also expect His supernatural descent from Heaven.
lol, ya, i'm fam with the drill ok, hence
"
you will see Him come down in the same way you saw Him go up" is a lie, and the correct interpretation is actually
"
you will see Him come down in the same way
they saw Him go up," if only Scripture had got it right dang.
Maybe they didn't have a term for "your posterity" yet?
but the truth is really right there, right in front of us;
they saw Him come down the same way they saw Him go up,
just like the Bible says
Now you take a statement from God and misapply it. God was addressing unbelieving and disobedient Israel and telling them -- His chosen people -- to return to Him and He would return to them. This has nothing to do with the rejection of the supernatural and the miraculous.
look, your opinions are fine and all ok, but i am not interested in challenging them here so much as examining how we come to have them in the first place. i am not trying to challenge any beliefs that anyone holds, you are entitled to your own beliefs just like everyone else, and you can even hold them to be Absolute Truths if you like, i mean diff subject but i guess you even hold some truths to be self-evident right, even if the people that was written in mind of are snickering. behind their hands of course
This is total Leftist nonsense.
ok awesome, ty for the heads up but idc about articles like that anyway, now if you would ID the leftist nonsense inherent in "people tend to be much worse at statistical analysis than they believe, and we now have a reliable gauge for this," the article at hand, that would be great
