Please talk to me. But do not quote from the Bible...
Catchup, thanks for the invite, and as requested I won't baffle you with the bible or scare you with scripture, I would hate for you to be confronted with an inspired quote -we can't have you thinking the end of the world is upon you. As for being your Teacher, I might pass thanks, I might feel just a tad uncomfortable about being associated with any of your current mindset
I see from your first post that your understanding of covenant eschatology is but a reflection of your general understanding of things eschatological -not quite there, but I can tell you're ok with that so that's fine.
I'm intrigued but the constant incredulity and scoffing by yourself and your fellow futurists at the prospect that Christ could possibly be here in person -kind of reminds me of something I read somewhere about someone saying "hah! -where is your Christ and his promised coming! -I don't see him, things are as always they were!!" hhmmm, maybe for the perceptively challenged "seeing is believing."
But hey here's a novel idea
maybe, just maybe, the collective fellowship of believers actually IS the Body Of Christ in the earth -shock horror could it be true, could I have read that somewhere, can I trust what I've read, or should I explain it away as something other or less than what it says??
Anyway Catchup, I'll leave the rest to your imagination -I know it works well
Oh and if you're feeling inclined toward that "ignore button" -if that meets your need, be my guest -you wont miss one less teacher.
