eph3Nine said:2 Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; (what is the truth? That God has changed programs!)
2 Timothy 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. (God wants people to recover themselves OUT of this snare by believing Pauls information)
They looked forward in faith to that which God promised and according to this passage it wasn't a little bitty parcel of land in the Middle East.

Let's look at the scriptures shall we?
The fathers (abraham, enoch, david) was never And I repeat never promised Heaven, they were promised the earhtly kingdom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This after Jesus was crucified!!!!
Heaven was only promised to the body of christ,(pauline revelation).
Your saying your going to heaven and you don't have the slightest clue why!
Now that's a mystery in itself.
Millions of people claiming to go to heaven and don't know how this revelation came to be....
It's because of the mystery Jesus revealed to Paul.
Paul message is the only gospel that has a heavenly reward, not the twelve, they had an eartly reward.................................

1:6
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Oh my how can he tell these Gentiles that they have been called to Christ's kingdom?
2Th 1:5 [Which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
Now this is getting funny. He is telling the Thessalonians that they are suffering for the kingdom of God. Why would they suffer for something of which they have no part?

That's a promise!!!!!

eph3Nine said:Ya cant argue with a person who is blinded to truth. If you ignore all of Pauls words, which were given by the Risen Christ, and only focus on Peters words, given to the nation Israel, yer gonna be a really confused little puppy. Its like talking about brain surgery with a pizza man...are ya gonna get anywhere?
Nahhh......Let those who set themselves up in opposition to the truth, talk to themselves. Im here to be edified and to edify others with the words that are OUR marching orders today!
Yee haw

Thats RIGHT! But to those who are still ignorant of Mystery Truths, and who do NOT study and rightly divide, the lines are really fuzzy!
I cant believe how much more clear Gods Word IS since I learned how to properly READ it and understand it!
YOWZER!
____GLJCA said:Tell me, all of you who compare David's exile to that of Christ. Do you also believe that when Christ becomes King of His kingdom that He will be driven out of His kingdom by one of His children just as David was driven out of his kingdom by Absalom?
If you are going to use David's life to compare to Christ's then you have to use all of it, right or do you just pick and choose on that also?
