Subject: What does Matthew 24: 28 mean? |
Bible Note: Hi, Ross; Even the original disciples acted on their own sometimes, arguing about their places in Heaven and such. It should come as no surprise that we more recent ones don't always get along as Jesus wants us to. All that proves is that Christians are not perfect - something that most of us already know. Your comparison with Babel is off the mark - the languages of the workers were confused by God's design. In fact different churches and different denominations work together often. If they fail to do so when they should, that's simply a human failing, not God's design. As for the passage at the top of the page, I have no idea what it means; it's not a passage I've studied. But that's not the point. You claimed to have knowledge about a prophecy that "no Christian on Earth" has an adequate understanding of. That's gnosticism. If gnosticism masquerades as Christianity, it's a heresy that was exposed in the first century. If it does not masquerade as Christianity but comes from another religion altogether, it is of no theological significance to a Christian. Muhammad misreprented both Moses and Jesus. You could hardly expect a Christian to learn anything about either of them from the Qur'an. Or from any other religion that departs from orthodox Christianity. From what I've seen, Bahais misrepresent Jesus in a similar way. You and I can respect each other and learn from each other as fellow humnas on this earth. But I can learn nothing about Jesus from any source but the Bible, the Holy Spirit confirmed by the Bible, or brothers and sisters in Christ confirmed by the Bible.
