[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Hi all[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]and Hi again Interplanner,[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]It is a shame that most American Evangelical churches dogmatically teach the scriptures in such a way that it promotes strong political pressures to NOT think very deeply concerning other interpretations that could become “more” eternally fruitful than what is already being taught. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]So that each generation could be taught to resist evil OR to flee from the presence of obviously prideful or carnal men, so that newly converting believers might then more easily grow in their grace and knowledge of the Lord and in their holiness+ towards Him and all others.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][+: Holiness defined via scripture is - - "set apart for service" to "all" of mankind, and the Trinity does this without favoritism so that eventually 1 John 3:8b would be fulfilled in the earth as more "believers" would become "Holy" disciples of Jesus.][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Since in my view most evangelicals, such as myself, have rarely been taught to rightly-divide or discern that the scriptures are “meant” to be interpreted and then taught by His converted Saints to (1) save souls by giving them “hope” and to (2) then disciple their lives to a godly saintly walk, not because of one's fear towards God that dogmatic men would teach to a novice, but from the logical, wisdom and prudence that the scriptures should promote when ably taught by a converted-converting and loving teacher-mentor.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]So it is sad that as a consequence of not being able to ever consider another point of view without a fear of being excommunicated (e.g. similar to M.Servetus and J.Calvins disagreements over each others dogma) that Matthew's words in chapter 24 are much more “difficult” for many Evangelicals to acknowledge and teach as two (2) separate events.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Which were firstly the holocaust of 70AD, and lastly the return of the Lord and the taking-up of His chosen bride that has yet to occur.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Thanks for all you posts, I pray a few of us are learning and growing as a result of your tireless efforts.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]God Bless.
In Jesus' love - we should all put our trust eternally,
