The Manner of Jesus' Return

[Jack]

I believe it's called reasoning on the scriptures. It's something God's servants do, don't you think? I mean you know as well as I do that in the scriptures Jesus talked about Gehenna. Many Bible translations have translated this Greek word as Hell, Hellfire, or fires of Hell. These translators of the Bible looked upon the Greek word Gehenna as a place where unrighteous Souls went to after a human dies, because these translators believed humans have Souls, not that humans are Souls as the scriptures teach. So this Greek word Gehenna being believed to be a place by these translators, translated Gehenna as Hell, Hellfire, or fires of Hell, but these translations are inaccurate translations of the Greek word Gehenna.
When Jesus taught about Gehenna, he was using an actual place that existed outside the walls of Jerusalem. He was using this actual place, not to teach people that all Souls from all over the planet went to this actual place outside the walls of Jerusalem, but to teach people about an eternal condition that would happen to people that God judges unworthy of eternal life.
Gehenna was a place, that at one time when the Jews fell into false worship, some children were sacrificed by fire to false God's. By the time Jesus was on the world during his ministry the place called Gehenna had become a garbage dump that they kept burning with fire using sulfur and brimstone. Whenever a Jew had been tried for breaking the law covenant and was judged unworthy of being put in a memorial tomb, after the death sentence had been carried out upon that person, the dead body or corpse was thrown into this garbage dump to be cremated. Whatever dead body that wasn't destroyed by the fire would be eaten up by the maggots that lived in this garbage dump. So the Greek word Gehenna is represented as a condition of a person, that God judges unworthy of eternal life. This means fire represents eternal destruction. So when a person dies and God judges a person not deserving a resurrection this person has been judged unworthy to exist as a living person ever again. That person is completely annihilated from existence for eternity. So when God uses fire to destroy the weeds or chaff they're destroyed out of existence as living persons for eternity. Now will God use literal fire to destroy the unrighteous, weeds, or chaff during Armageddon, I don't know, but however God destroys the unrighteous, weeds, or chaff the scriptures using fire as symbolism teaches us that this destruction is an eternal destruction. These people will never exist again they're destroyed out of existence as living persons, forever.

I think you're speaking for Kingdgom Hall, not for God of the Bible.

 

[Jack]

God has never promised eternal life or everlasting life for the unrighteous. It's those that love God and exercise faith that are the ones that get everlasting life. The unrighteous, those who don't love God and don't exercise faith in him they will suffer eternal destruction, eternal punishment, that eternal destruction or eternal punishment means they never existing as a living person again for eternity. Anyone who says God will allow the unrighteous to exist as living persons for eternity, are not being accurate. Eternal life or everlasting life, means a person will exist as a living person for eternity whether it be in heaven or on earth. Everlasting fire represents, eternal punishment, eternal destruction, so those judged by God for everlasting fire are destroyed forever as living persons.They will not exist as living persons ever again.

Why are you evading the Scriptures?

 

[BARNEY BRIGHT]

I think you're speaking for Kingdgom Hall, not for God of the Bible.

I know what you believe, that you disagree with me. So what, I disagree with you.

 

[BARNEY BRIGHT]

Why are you evading the Scriptures?

Why are you evading the Scriptures?

I'm not evading scripture. Nowhere in scripture does it say the unrighteous will get everlasting life. That means those God judges as the unrighteous will be unworthy to live. They will experience eternal death. For eternity they will never exist as living perons.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

I'm not twisting nothing just because you say so. Like I said the scriptures say that two angels said that Jesus would come back in the same manner he left. You obviously want people to believe that the manner that Jesus left is that the whole world suddenly stopped and looked with awe as Jesus ascended into heaven, but that's not the manner that he left. He left not with such a public display, but he left quietly only believers were aware that he ascended into heaven at the time it happened. That's the truth that's not twisting anything.

Well the bible teaches that every eye will see him- not brain discern Him. Once again you twist teh SCriptures. the angels told the apostles He would return physically and visibly for that is how he left!

 

[ScottA]

Well the bible teaches that every eye will see him- not brain discern Him. Once again you twist teh SCriptures. the angels told the apostles He would return physically and visibly for that is how he left!

Ronald, that's not a reasonable argument.

The only way that "every eye will see Him" would even be possible as a world event, is if Jesus returned every day in all of history, or if everyone who had ever lived were resurrected in mounds of bodies all over the world...which in both cases He would have to then also circle the earth in glowing glory--not for a day, but for many days (and the blind would be left out).

Alternatively, such an event being an act of God would rightfully be in the presence of God who is spirit and [in heaven] where it could spiritually be seen by all who have ever lived--"in the twinkling of an eye." Which, of course, is why it is written as, "coming with the clouds of heaven.”

 

[Jack]

I know what you believe, that you disagree with me. So what, I disagree with you.

So you don't deny that you're speaking for Kingdom Hall?

 

[Jack]

I'm not evading scripture. Nowhere in scripture does it say the unrighteous will get everlasting life. That means those God judges as the unrighteous will be unworthy to live. They will experience eternal death. For eternity they will never exist as living perons.

No Scripture? Of course not. You don't have any. Ever read what Jesus said about "EVERLASTING fire"?

 

[BARNEY BRIGHT]

Well the bible teaches that every eye will see him- not brain discern Him. Once again you twist teh SCriptures. the angels told the apostles He would return physically and visibly for that is how he left!

Actually, I'm not, you simply don't want to accept the fact that John was told Revelation in signs, so a lot of Revelation is symbolic. I know that the eyes that say they see Jesus at Revelation 1:7 is the eyes that pierced Jesus, which was a roman soldier. I'm not going to teach people that roman soldier is still alive today after 2000 years and he will see Jesus with his literal eyes. You may teach people that but I'm not.

 

[BARNEY BRIGHT]

So you don't deny that you're speaking for Kingdom Hall?

I'm speaking what I honestly believe just like you. I understand that you disagree with me, so what I disagree with you

 

[BARNEY BRIGHT]

No Scripture? Of course not. You don't have any. Ever read what Jesus said about "EVERLASTING fire"?

Ever read where scripture speaks about everlasting life? Show where in scripture that the unrighteous will get everlasting life. As I said the scriptures teach only the faithful the righteous get everlasting life. Everlasting fire is talking about everlasting destruction, which means they're destroyed forever as living persons, or everlasting punishment which is eternal death, no possibility of existing as a living person ever again.

 

[Jack]

Ever read where scripture speaks about everlasting life?

Many times!

Show where in scripture that the unrighteous will get everlasting life.

Guess Who said this:

Matthew 25
41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

As I said the scriptures teach only the faithful the righteous get everlasting life. Everlasting fire is talking about everlasting destruction, which means they're destroyed forever as living persons, or everlasting punishment which is eternal death, no possibility of existing as a living person ever again.

That's totally ridiculous. If they are destroyed there is absolutely no reason for "everlasting"! It's the same Greek word for "everlasting" life! NEVER ending.

 

[BARNEY BRIGHT]

Many times!

Guess Who said this:

Matthew 25
41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

You can continue to believe that the unrighteous get everlasting life, but they don't. The unrighteous get everlasting punishment and that everlasting punishment is eternal death. Death is the punishment for sin. Those God judges unworthy of life will never exist as living persons again. Because God is the one who decides whether one gets a resurrection back to life or not.

Genesis 2:7 shows us that when the breath(spirit) of life wasn't in the flesh and blood human body after God had created the flesh and blood human body from the dust from the ground but hadn't blew the breath (spirit) of life into that flesh and blood human body, yet. That flesh and blood human body wasn't a living soul or living person. It's was only after God blew the breath(spirit) of life into the flesh and blood human body, that it became a living soul or living person. So when a person's breath(spirit) of life leaves the flesh and blood human body at death, that person ceases to exist as a living person because that flesh and blood human body no longer has the breath(spirit) of life in it.
So at death if God judges a person unworthy of life, unworthy of becoming a living person again because God has judged that person or persons as unrighteous then they will never exist as living persons again.

2 Thessalonians 2:1 KJB - Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,​

Paul refers to the second Advent of Jesus Christ when he says “by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” and further by adding, “and [by] our gathering together unto him”, which are similar to the passages of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 KJB; [see also Matthew 24:31; Mark 13:27 KJB]:

According to Strongs, this is 3708 horáō – properly, see, often with metaphorical meaning: "to see with the mind" (i.e. spiritually see), i.e. perceive (with inward spiritual perception).

Why only give half a definition? To see with the mind, often (not always) involves seeing through the physical "eye/s" which are directly connected with the brain/mind/heart/spirit.

For instance:
