For someone who claims to be 'biblically literate' you apparently don't read it much:

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

The Day and Hour Unknown

32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.

Christianity requires more faith in Paul than in Jesus....

Hope everyone is having a good restful Sunday! Hope is the key to walking by faith! Hope is what we hold onto, its our joy and peace in believing Jesus! God is with us! I love it!


Romans 15 New King James Version (NKJV)

Bearing Others’ Burdens

15 We then who are strong ought to bear with the [a]scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to [b]edification. 3 For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” 4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the [c]patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Glorify God Together

7 Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received [d]us, to the glory of God. 8 Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a [e]servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers, 9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:
“For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,
And sing to Your name.”

10 And again he says:
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”

11 And again:
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!”

12 And again, Isaiah says:
“There shall be a root of Jesse;
And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,
In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

It's ok to seach. But honestly, you guys are way way way overthinking this.

God loves you. Period. Queer, tranny, rich or poor. This year i have a couple "pipeline" plots. You know... bunched together like he does. Lol. (Yet another experiment). Some are rocking it and the odd little plant is struggling. I won't pull it up, I'll cheer it on "come on little girl, you can make it!" God does the same. He won't fault you for the trivial shit that most people have wrong anyway. Life is life. I think the buddha was onto something.

Sure, he could have made us perfect, but he already did that with angels. We're his kids. His special project. He wants us to do well and will intercede when he thinks we need help and cheer us on to do better. Not when we think we need it. One thing he won't do is pull us up in a grand culling.

So enjoy this beautiful planet and its fruits and especially this wonderful herb.

Watch, listen and think, that´s it, and youself see the truth.


That´s the way, i think, if I watched, thought and listened right. ;-)

By the way, on my workplace we´ve got very religious german-russian cleaning women. They like me, I like them, but when I tell them that everybody has another picture of Jesus or maybe Maria Magdalenas role was more or more important, than they write (lie) in the bible, they are angry on my and hunt me with a broom.

If we don't sin, then Jesus died for nothing.

 

[SamsonsRiddle]

"Anyone who believes the rapture is biblically illiterate."

Use whatever name you wish.

1 Corinthians 15
51 Behold, I tell you a [m]mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

1 Thessalonians 4
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [d]asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

The timing is what some Christians debate. Pre wrath post trib is what makes sense to me.

Matthew 24
The Coming of the Son of Man
29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days....

Rapture has come to mean the pre trib version where it could "happen at any time". God does say that some will be protected in the wilderness during the time of tribulation, but no one is going to be up in heaven watching the destruction on earth (no one is going to heaven anyways since it is going to be established here on earth).



You would have to really study that verse in 1 thess to know that in the air could (and makes more sense) as in the spirit. This reinforces 1 cor 15 that says when jesus returns, those who were his during this time will be reborn (born again) into a spiritual body which is free from the flesh and therefore sin.



The word rapture or "catching away" isn't biblical in the sense that no one is going to heaven. The resurrected are going to be here on earth during the 1,000 year reign and will also be here on earth after the white throne judgement to inhabit the heavenly jerusalem.



I'm not sure what your version of the rapture is, but it sounds like you're on the right track.

 

[SamsonsRiddle]

My point was according to John and my one 'tie to Gog and Magog' because John used the term was that Armeggedon or apocalypse or whatever term the Christains prefer to use, definitely (IMO) occurs after the 1000 years of peace. Anything else makes no sense. The end is the end is the end.

This was to accentuate to Pipeline that there is no sudden in the night or day rapture for regular born agains. According to Revelation - nothing else.





Why repeat what I said?

If what you say is true then why does it mention a "first resurrection"? How can "the end be the end be the end", yet there be another resurrection? When are the resurrections then?



So there is no war against christ when he returns before the 1,000 year reign? then how come the false prophet and the beast system are thrown into the lake of fire before the 1,000 year reign?



Does it say that christ returns before or after the 1,000 year reign? Does it say that the worlds army attack christ as he returns or does it say they wait 1,000 years to attack him?

you have mixed it all up. go back and read what I say. the end is after the 1000 years. this is what I said all along. 2 battles but the end one being gog/magog/armeggedon.

Job 2 New King James Version (NKJV)

Satan Attacks Job’s Health

2 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?”
Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”
3 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to [a]destroy him without cause.”
4 So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely [b]curse You to Your face!”
6 And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”
7 So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.
9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? [c]Curse God and die!”
10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

Acts 7:37-60


Israel Rebels Against God

37 “This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him[d] you shall hear.’
38 “This is he who was in the [e]congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles[f] to give to us, 39 whom our fathers would not obey, but rejected. And in their hearts they turned back to Egypt, 40 saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods to go before us; as for this Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ 41 And they made a calf in those days, offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42 Then God turned and gave them up to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets:
‘Did you offer Me slaughtered animals and sacrifices during forty years in the wilderness,
O house of Israel?
43 You also took up the tabernacle of Moloch,
And the star of your god Remphan,
Images which you made to worship;
And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’

God’s True Tabernacle

44 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen, 45 which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David, 46 who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. 47 But Solomon built Him a house.
48 “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says:
49 ‘Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
What house will you build for Me? says the Lord,
Or what is the place of My rest?
50 Has My hand not made all these things?’

Israel Resists the Holy Spirit

51 “You stiff-necked[g] and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you. 52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who foretold the coming of the Just One, of whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers, 53 who have received the law by the direction of angels and have not kept it.”
Stephen the Martyr

54 When they heard these things they were [h]cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; 58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. 59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Am like your thread Pipeline..


Kind regards

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

I do believe that we can choose to be good or bad - and that in some places being bad is good - and being good is bad - it all depends on what that particular society deems to be good or bad within their laws - Humanity does seem to have a common conscience and basic moral values - that is what being humane is all about -

Honestly I can't see the point in worshipping anyone or anything - nothing is perfect, and everything is fallible - but if it helps you to worship something - then that must be good for you.

Our faith is as sure as the sun coming up in the morning. We worship all creation, and the rules and powers that are behind it. Do you believe good and evil exist?


Why?
