No problem, stuff happens. Agreed, meditating on the word always finds interesting things cropping up. :)

I don't think I said that. As far as I'm concerned the "sons" are those who relate to those teaching that Jesus is doing the works of the Devil. We most likely need someone well versed in Greek grammar and syntax to see whether the demons or the sons are the subject of verse 19.

Based on your post you linked to, it appears people think the "your sons" are Jesus' disciples because of the judgment that follows but I always saw that passage as it was the demons who would judge the false teachers (the ones accusing Jesus of doing the devils work). Luke 11:19 19 And if I...

I agree. I see no Church in Revelation apart from the letters or during the Great Tribulation so why are you arguing against God removing the Church from the place of judgement (ie. Earth)?

He was in the ark, not the rain and unless you think his workmanship and God's plan are faulty, I'm not sure why you think Noah was facing God's judgment? He was safe and secure by being placed out of harms way inside the ark. Jesus promised to return and collect us and take us to where He is...

I didn't answer before because I find the question nonsensical and therefore don't know how to answer. Timing is irrelevant as I'm with the Lord 24/7 now and am content whether I'm here or there. (earth or heaven) About the only time I consider a resurrection body would be nice now is when I'm...

Noah wasn't in the water and lot wasn't in Sodom so not sure how you figure they were in the judgment.

Noah was taken out of the flood and placed in the Ark and Lot was taken out of Sodom. The resurrection of the Church is not about being removed from suffering, it is about being removed from God's judgement.

You haven't told me why you see it as harmful to the faith.

I've heard this argument before but I fail to see how it is harmful. People fail in prosperity as much, if not more, than they fail in persecution. It's God's basic MO to remove His people from judgment (Noah from the flood, lot from Sodom), how can that be harmful?

Yes, Satan wears a disguise of light, not the real deal. John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. One may not always instantly recognise the evil before them but that is why we do the following and wait for direction. The Devil cannot help but give himself...

I quoted you saying you think @Genez is saying ... so who do you think I mean?

If you walk in the light, the enemy stands out like a sore thumb. :)

He is saying they are inevitable, not ok. Therefore, we shouldn't get our knickers in a twist when they occur. Listen, learn, address the error and move on.

Or we could both be wrong.
