41 | I would like to learn more about this! | Acts 1:11 | tomsweetstir | 79201 | ||
Taleb is so right. I love church history too. From what I remember about the origin of the teaching of the “rapture” it began after some lady had a dream in the 1800’s. Some have told me they believe Jesus made some kind of transition in Matthew 24 from the destruction of Jerusalem in 67-70 A.D. to the second coming 1000’s of years later. But Luke instantly cancels any such notion. Have you ever noticed how they don’t line up? It's important because it proves any "transitional period" can't be. By comparing Matthew 24:17-18 with Luke 17:31. and Matthew 24:26-27 with Luke 17:23-24, and Matthew 24:28 with Luke 17:37 and Matthew 24:37-39 with Luke 17:26-27 and Matthew 24:40-41 with Luke 17:35-36, it sort of puts a huge hole in the “transition” theory. You would have to ignore Luke’s to make a transition of time work. In my Bible Matthew 24:36 “that day” is the same “that day” as Luke 17:31. So it means one period of time rather than 2,000 years of in between. May I suggest you read what Albert Barnes wrote about these things in his excellant volumns of "Notes on the Old and New Testaments." Perhaps your public library, or church has them. Tom |

42 | Does most of the Gospel say women teach? | 1 Cor 11:5 | tomsweetstir | 79442 | ||
Sir, please note Acts 2:16 for the time period this happened in. Peter, under the influence of the Holy Spirit declared, “BUT THIS IS WHAT WAS SPOKEN THROUGH THE PROPHET JOEL: it will be in the last days.” In effect, Peter was saying what so many said in those last days. “What Joel talked about – is now here.” You don’t have to think we are “in the last days” yet. We aren’t. Peter WAS. And just as foretold, Acts 21:9 mentions the four daughters who prophesied. You mentioned that the Eph list is “all male”. So what? In every language, words are either male, female or neuter. Do you know which of God’s “names” are feminine? 1 Cor 14:24 says “Therefore if the WHOLE CHURCH assembles together and ALL speak in tongues.” “Church” IS feminine. “All” means everybody, male and female. Verse 24, “But if ‘ALL’ prophesy” also goes to both sexes. |

Hank, You stated what I have heard many preachers proclaim, even some books I have read - "you might suggest to your friend that she run a tally (using an exhaustive concordance) of the number of Jesus' references to both hell and to heaven in the New Testament. (There are more of hell than of heaven, by the way.)" It's where do the preachers and authors get their information that I don't understand. Don't get me wrong, Hank. I AM NOT SAYING everyone will be saved and somehow delievered from the flames of hell. But according to Strongs Concordance - Jesus talked a lot more about heaven than He talked about hell. Hell is only mentioned a total of 15 times in the Gospels and only 8 times more elsewhere in the New Testament. Heaven is mentioned 130 times in the Gospels and about 108 other times elsewhere. This is just to "keep the records" straight. Keep up the good work. :) I appreciate you. Tom P.S. If I have neglected some detail about this subject that condradicts my conclusion - I am very open to being corrected. |
