Hi meta, I don't want to come across as gruff, but when you said: "Christ and His Church sounds good to me" -in reference to the new temple, I believe: That is a misleading statement that will lead to misleading doctrines. Because, if we are THE temple, then what seat does the antichrist sit in and claim to be God? I know that Scripture teaches that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, but is that not saying that there are many temples besides the one spoken of? Don't get me wrong, I understand, and sympathize w/you. You said you have more questions than answers. And that is good. We all do that. Or, at least we should, because it has been said that the only barrier to the truth is to think we already know it. To challenge the word millenium because of the fact that it does not appear in Scripture is a weak argument. Sorry, but the word trinity does not appear there either, do you believe in the Trinity? -nor does Missionary, Rapture and Bema Seat. Yet they exist. Apostle Paul instructs us to: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2Tim 2:15) It is my belief that this is where amillenialists fall short. By not studying and learning the correct meaning of passages, we can come up with as many interpretations as we have Bibles. Do you understand, meta? I also posted to beja, for clarification on his term, so please, remain in touch. I would like to continue this discussion, because we are all here to learn, and you pose some interesting avenues (o: keliy |

Hi Keliy, You are not gruff, be blessed. And you are correct in what you said about my taking note of the word millenium. What was I thinking. I know it means 1000 years. I was being silly. To say that my statement will lead to misleading doctrines implies that you have this area nailed down. I know that is not what you meant It is ok to state your views however I have strained at a gnat and swallowed a camel before. The more important issue is to manifest the love of Christ and adhere to Eph 4:29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. In our disecting of truth we need to be careful not to cut the members of our own body with the scalple. I utterly reject your sympathy. That is for your protection as well as my own. I am certain that you are not aware of what you are saying and I consider it nothing more than a slip of the tongue but I must not receive it. I believe your intent is basically good. I find that this forum does sometimes have a flavor of judging and rebuking one another rather than simply aiding one another in our search. It is unnecessary and uncomly. It is also very easy to fall into. How do I know? From picking the pebbles out of my own forehead. I look forward to further posts Love in Him Meta |

Well, I think I am aware of what I am saying. The problem I believe is the nature of this electronic format, which eliminates body language which projects the mood of what we are saying. I actually believe that God is in heaven smiling as we toil over His Word, trying to get it straightened out in our feeble minds. This should not be a divisive issue and we should not reject anyone for how they interpret these things. The basic point is that we are saved by His Blood. We will find out one day that the answer is not one or the other, but somewhere in the middle, or maybe even outside the box. However I do believe that we should study, and be diligent in our studies. We should scrutinize what we are taught, as the Bereans did. So shall we use discernment with our teachers. I am not trying to say anyone is right or wrong, but I will say if someone is saying something that is contrary to what I believe the Bible is saying. And it is alright for us to imply that someone is staining gnats because that is how we learn. We are here to learn. This is how we grow. In Him, keliy |

Excellent keliy, Thank you. That was very well put. You are right I ought not to have said " I am certain that you are not aware of what you are saying " That was presumptuous and inaccurate. Forgive me. Also when it comes to sympathize I may have over reacted. Here is a definition. 1. To feel or express compassion, as for another's suffering; commiserate. 2. To share or understand the feelings or ideas of another: sympathized with the goals of the committee. 3. To be in accord; correspond. My reaction was due to the fact that I am more familiar with definition #1. That I could not come under. However #2 and #3 are uses I can receive. Thanks again Meta |
