come again?

this is a logical conclusion, either A or notA, and there is a third choice
My cell re-re-re'corrects' my spelling.
I try to hit send before it makes any more changes, but it doesn't always work.

The angel said he will return the same way he left.
did not :)

but good way to see why all those "see's" are in there though, huh. massage oil lol. Why dint the angel just say that, huh?

See (), i am in perfect agreement with the passage; the same way you saw Him go up, you will see Him come down, and i can only explain the lying to the watchers--which you must concede, if Christ has not yet returned, right--by Pentecost, which for whatever reason you don't accept?

you are reading the work of acknowledged dialectical masters, who carefully crafted sentences with an understanding of the pov it would be read from, and knew how to play a logical reader. Christ is usually said to have come when He did because of the Roman Empire; but it is just as likely because that was at the time of the rise of rational or logical, "Greek" thought. How we think in the West, as opposed to an Easterner, who does not think like we do, even today

imo

Jesus Christ told his disciples in private that he speaks in parables in public so that those listening will NOT understand. And he told them that he does not speak in parables to them so that they will understand.
That is not exactly correct. He told them, not that He did not speak to them in parable, but that it was given to them to understand. On the contrary, He also told them, "All things come in parables." Which is confirmed by the prophet saying, "that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'"

You can always draw the lines anywhere you like.

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
The point is, I do not draw a line, except that line which God himself has drawn...before and after the cross.

He was risen but not resurrected?


Matthew 28 King James Version (KJV)
28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy;
That is the confusion that I explained. Indeed, many expect that they are one and the same, and they are...just not in our viewing. All things happened "in the twinkling of an eye", but are a witness to us by the media of time, that we should understand their distinction. But if we see Him raised up in the flesh, before He ascended to the Father, and call it the same thing as when He actually did...then we have missed an important revelation. And yes, you are not alone, many have missed it.

and note that of course they did not understand at all, at least right then, in the account. Pretty glaringly even
True, and yet we can thank them when we see them. For if they would have seen and heard and understood, the end would have come well before our time.

There are lots of scriptures that point to an appointed time.
and i am not disagreeing. you have an appointed time, now, and you are a Living Stone, also a Temple, you are building a Temple right now, and Christ is being Revealed in you as we speak.

there are lots of Scriptures that point to a life of poverty too, you aren't paying any attn to those :)

understand I AM

you might be looking for a news article or something that the headline reads "people beheaded for their testimony of Christ" ok, and this is not going to happen. See that those who manifest Christ have been getting "beheaded" literally or figuratively since Moses ok.
For sure if we include figuratively...... :)
