    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    P70, That only shows your lack of undertanding of the Bible. This verse shows that TRUE preachers of the gospel are SENT by the Lord Jesus, just as Timothy was SENT by the Lord Jesus. Hence, anyone who dares to preach the gospel of Christ MUST be ready and willing to SHOW proof that they...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    P70, Were you ALIVE when Jesus CAME in 70 AD? If not, then 1 Thes. 4:16-17 does NOT concern you at all. As a matter of FACT, by your own admission that apostle Paul wa s talking speciically to his fellow Christians in his days, NOTHING in  the NT concerns you and all other Preterists...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    P70, If that's how you think, then Rom. 5:8-9 is NOT for you and neither does Gal. 3:26-29. And you are not an adopted child of God either becuse apostle Paul NEVER talked to you, right? Ed

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    Please CLARIFY your belief P70. Earlier, you said that with the coming of Christ, Preterists are ALREADY in the new heavens and new earth. So what heaven are you talking about? 1 Thes. 4:17 teaches that the "DEAD in Christ" and those "ALIVE in Christ" will be caught up TOGETHER to MEET Jesus...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    Justme, Your attitude reflects one who is TRULY seeking the TRUTH. I wish others had the same attitude as you have because you are 100% right. What good is it to believe on something that does NOT lead to eternal life? The belief that Jesus CAME the SECOND time in 70 AD is FALSE! Before...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    P70, What heaven are you talking about, the Old Covenant or the New  Covenant?  I thought you said you are already in the New Heavens and the New earth that CAME with the second coming of Christ. Please clarify what HEAVEN you are HOPING for. Apostle Peter wrote that "according...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    Justme, I don't believe the word "we" refers only to Paul or some of those he was writing to. If Jesus CAME in 70 AD and the verse refers ONLY to Paul and the early Christians, what about people of today. How will we meet Jesus in the air? What are we hoping for if Jesus HAD come already...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    Justme, Rev. 14:6-13 is about the preaching of the gospel by messengers (angels) of God. Rev. 14:13 refers to those who die "IN" Christ who keep the COMMANDMENTS of God and the faith of Jesus.  Those who are DEAD "in" Christ will come to life first when Jesus comes again (1 Thes...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

     P70, since you say that rejecting Peter's COMMAND is NOT an option fo you, let me ask you: What is the HOPE that is in you and what are your reasons for that HOPE? Are you and apostle Peter talking of the SAME hope? What HOPE is apostle Peter talking about? Ed

    Jesus is the SON not the Father.

    Watcher215, Relative to ordinary MAN or normal people, Jesus was the ANOINTED Messiah. John the Baptist even acknowledged that Jesus is MIGHTIER than he (Matt. 3:11).  God PERFORMED miracles, wonders and signs THROUGH Jesus (Acts 2:22). God the Father COMMITTED all...

    Jesus is the SON not the Father.

    Eve, why should "Son of God" MAKE Jesus "God the Son?" Where is that written? NOTHING is taken away Eve because Jesus was NEVER God in the first place.  The FACT that the Father GAVE Jesus ALL authority, as judge, as Lord and has exalted Him to recieve glory, to rule and reign PROVES...

    Oneness Pentacostalism...Jesus Only Theory

    HTD, 1) Speaking in tongues is NOT a sign that you are saved. Being INSIDE the TRUE church that Christ died for (Eph. 5:25,23; Acts 20:28) is  a SURE sign that you will be saved; 2) Baptism per se does NOT ensure salvation. The TRUE baptism is the one that ADDS one to the  TRUE...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    Justme, The Bible does NOT teach that people will die AFTER the coming of the Son of Man. The Bible teaches that those who are caught up (dead and alive "in" Christ) to meet Jesus in the air will reign with him 1000 years (Rev. 20:6). The rest of the DEAD will not live again until...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    Apparently, our understanding of the word "rise" are NOT the same. The Bible says that the "dead in Christ will rise first." This means that those who are dead "in" Christ will "come to life" or "resurrect" first. The rest of the dead will NOT "rise" or will remain dead until the 1000 years are...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    What YOU say and what the Bible SAYS are worlds apart P70. YOU say: The Dead rise first. THEN at a LATER TIME, the living are caught up TO BE together with them.. The Bible SAYS: The dead "IN" Christ will RISE first (others who are dead do NOT rise YET). THEN (following the rising of the...

    Jesus is the SON not the Father.

    EveOfGrace, You are correct in saying that Jesus is the Son of God - NOT God the Son. Being the Son of God does NOT make Jesus God the Son. Suppose Jesus asks you WHO the ONLY true God is EveOfGrace, what would your answer be? Ed

    Jesus is the SON not the Father.

    EveOfGrace, Do you CONFESS with your tongue that Jesus is Lord (Phil. 2:11)? If your answer is YES, let me remind you what Jesus SAID: "But why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord' and do NOT do the things which I say" (Luke 6:46)? Jesus SAID he is a MAN (John 8:40). If Jesus is your Lord and...

    Did Jesus promise to return in the 1st cent.?

    P70, Let me ask you. Is the world that we live in TODAY any better than the world BEFORE the FLOOD or the world BEFORE the DESTRUCTION of Sodom and Gomorrah or BEFORE the DESTRUCTION of Jerusalem in 70 AD? Is the world that we live in AFTER 70 AD any better or DIFFERENT from the world that...

    The Good News of the Kingdom

      Which is this kingdom that God will set up? How is this kingdom related to the kingdom that God will give His Son as recorded in Luke 1:32-33? Which kingdom did Jesus and the apostles preach (Matt. 4:23; 9:35; Luke 9:60) - the kingdom mentioned in Daniel 2:44 or the kingdom...
