Funny Jerry...NOTHING in scripture validates that reasoning. The Jews problem was they fell into the false belief of salvation by works. There's NOTHING in Hebrews about ia rapture, nor any connection.
The mystery is laid out in Ephesians 3:1-12. How that differs from what you think!
The KoG is in heaven and on earth Jerry. Try reading what the Lord said in Mark 10:15. When one is saved they are in the KoG Jerry, they only wait for the reality of the kingdom at the end. Once again red Romans 14:17.
Jerry, ALL of that is the gospel. Doctrines don't separate the gospel, they teach us the WHOLE of the gospel.
No. All of it is the resurrection which includes the rapture...and it's all on the last day. The entirety of 1 Cor 15:12-58 is the resurrection. You make assertions Paul NEVER makes.
This is know where in scripture. It's once again the error of dispensational theology The KoH and the KoG are synonymous Jerry...and you don't see it.
Tell you what brother Jerry...there's no need to go around and around about this. You've made your stand...and I have made mine. We both KNOW Jesus is going to return...the question is "does it include your pretrib rapture?". You, and many who believe as you do, will know when it doesn't happen.
There is no eschatology teaching that is without error...but I have found dispensational eschatology to be quite aberrant.
ebedmelech,
1. Disagreeing doesn’t prove anything.
2. Jews did seek the righteousness of the law by works instead of faith in Romans 10.
3. I didn’t say the rapture was in Hebrews.
One can divulge the truth of the rapture to understanding the resurrection of the dead which was an Old Testament doctrine and Hebrews is a contrast between the Old and New Covenants.
But I wasn’t saying that Hebrews was dealing directly with the subject of the rapture.
4. Ephesians 3:1-12; I believe the same thing.
All I said was this was instituted at Calvary but didn’t unfold into reality until Peter and the vision of the clean and unclean.
Then both Jews and Gentiles were one on the same level. Do you understand that?
5. The KoH is the physical kingdom on earth Matthew 4:17. The KoG physical is the whole universe.
The Spiritual KoH are the spiritual things in the KoH.
The Spiritual KoG was about the spiritual kingdom in their hearts that would receive eternal life and be blessed Matthew 6:33, Luke 17:20-21.
The physical earth is out of harmony with the physical KoG and must be brought back in to harmony.
This will happen at the eternal perfect state in Revelation 21.
6. Doctrines like the rapture etc. do not save a person, only the gospel of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ.
You’re not in context with what I was saying.
7. You misunderstand the resurrection and the rapture and the last day and try to put it together as one and it is not.
The truth of the matter is that all believers will be resurrected but not at the same time.
And all the resurrected believers from Adam to the last of the tribulation saints which are the blessed dead Revelation 14:13; 15:1-2; 20:4-6 which are the resurrection of the dead only who don’t take the mark will be in time for the Marriage of the Lamb in Heaven Revelation 19:7-10 and ready to come out of Heaven to go to Armageddon.
The last day is right before the 7 vials are poured out on the beast kingdom worshippers Revelation 16:2.
There is no rapture of dead and living believers at the end of the tribulation.
Apparently, you do not understand true dispensationalism. Jerry kelso
