I'm an ole time religion guy, my point to this was that since Jesus does not know the timing why do we concern ourselves with this? It does not change the story of Jesus or what he did. Just factional infighting...

Maybe this might help, I guess I envision this as the troops are assembled but are awaiting the GO command. I still believe the bible was written for the average person to understand without having to have someone interpret.

I whole heartedly disagree with you, Jesus himself tells us in Mark 13:32“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert e ! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: He leaves his...

I never quoted Works save us only the blood does this, but works does play into this. If we accept Jesus and the gift he gave and did nothing more, do you believe that is enough? Or does the parable about Hot, Cold, and Lukewarm apply? You also have Jesus saying in Matthew 7:19Every tree that...

So I am not sure what you are trying to say? Obviously I do have life in this world but that does not guarantee me Eternal Life. I will point you to Jesus himself in John 3:13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. I understand that we are saved...

I understand what you are saying, my point is why do we even waste time on Pre, Mid, Post? The question is What does "but the one who endures to the end shall be saved" mean? The operative word here is END. End to me means Complete or "There is no more". Jesus did admonish us about the...

It is said that faith without works is Dead!! James 2:14-16 14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be...

So tell me why does it matter about Pre, Mid, Post? The command to us was to be ready because he comes like a thief in the night! Not even Jesus knows when he is coming back! If Jesus doesn't know, I doubt any of us Earth bound mortals will figure it out either!! In my mind it is just talk...

I guess what I am learning here is the meaning of John 3, the exchange between Jesus and Nicodemus. Truly GOD works in mysterious ways!!

Just to be clear, I still disagree... I am not a Gentile trying to be a Jew. God made his Covenant with Abraham which became the Israelites or Jewish Nation. At that time it was not Israel plus the Gentiles, it was the Israelites. Through this lineage he raised his Savior for the world...

I do disagree with you, 1. Don't you think this might be the case where Jesus says "Sorry I never knew you!"? A tree with no Good Fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. I believe this is the image Jesus used. Then you have James 2:14-26, saying Faith without works is Dead!! The blood of...

All my life I have heard Pre, Mid, and Post Tribulation. It finally occurred to me that most make it up as they go along. Honestly they just don't know and are just giving you their opinions. Gird up and prepare for the end, no one knows what is coming or when. Jesus himself does not know...

So I read through your post and I have a couple of questions for you. 1. Please explain what Jesus meant in Matthew 5:17-19. Remember this is Jesus saying these things and he is the Master. I don't want to see the Servant quoted to rebut or refute the Master. I am a Gentile and not a Jew so...

Are we not suppose to take care of the Widows and Orphans? Feed the Hungry? Clothe the naked? Are these not acts of doing GODs work? Showing Goodness and Righteousness on the Sabbath or doing what is Good and Right on the Sabbath, in my view, is not breaking the Sabbath. I feel you only...

I am guilty of the same...
