1 | When will Jesus return? | 2 Thessalonians | john 146 | 96966 | ||
Thank you for the welcome justme' But I think that you might have misunderstood what I was trying to convey. I was not trying to push my view, although I do believe that it is obvious from reading it where I stand; it was not my intention to try and prove or disprove any view one way or the other. What I was trying to do is to ask the reader to consider the repercussions of what they are telling the world. So I didn't feel it nessessary to quote a whole lot of scripture when I was simply discussing an opinion on a controversial interpretation and its consecquenses. And one more thing, I was speaking about the rapure of the church in relation to the tribulation, not the millenial reign. And yes I completely agree with you on the point that Jesus said in Matt 24:36 "No one knows the day or the hour" so I don't pretend to, in fact I take it a step further and leave the door open for a pre-trib rapture, although I don't take that stance, I'm in no way dogmatic about it. But in considering the consequences if we're wrong, I think the price is too great. Which is why I said in the opening sentence of my previous letter, "hope for the best, but prepare for the worst." In response to your comments regarding my format, in furture letters I will try to remember that our opinions should be scripturally backed, although in this case, I don't see how I could have done that, being that I was just asking the reader to think about the consequences of what they are preaching. Thank you for your thoughts, I do appreciate your criticism and no I don't take it negetively. I always try to remain open to correction from other chritians, we are after all one body. However I do feel that you may have misundersood what I was saying, so in light of this letter maybe you could state more clearly what it is that you would like to tell me. In regard to the format of these letters though I will try to apply what you have said. Thank you, your brother in Christ, John 146 |

2 | Would you kindly explain this text. | 1 Cor 14:34 | john 146 | 96702 | ||
first off lets start with 1 Cor. 14:33 the latter half reads "As in all the congregations of the saints," VS-34 continues "women should remain silent in the churches."- I then ask you, do we not belong to a congregation of the saints?- any reference to yelling by women is non-scriptural; historically speaking the seating arangements may differ but I doubt that people would be so rude as to interupt a teacher in the middle of a sermon and yell "Hey honey,whats that mean?" And when you do go to scripture I think we can all agree it is pretty clear. Why are we looking for loop holes in scripture? Understand the times? LOL well in our time its okay to suck a live fetus from its mothers womb, should we then nulify any scripture that would disagree? Please people, remember that we are to submit to the will of God, not impose our opinions on the Most High God; who are we to force our opinions into scripture? His will be done, not ours. | ||||||
