Bible Question (short): Do you pick/choose what is for you? |
Question (full): Fellow Heir, so if He is talking about coming for Israel in Matthew 24, is it because He is talking to the Jews at the time? That is what I have heard others say. He spent most of His time talking to Jews ... so is the rest of His messages in the Gospels only for them? Or do you (and others) pick and choose what is for you, too? Is the Sermon on the Mount for you? What about the Holy Spirit ... the Last Supper? Do you not see how closely related the three passages are (Matt 24:27-31, 1 The 4:13-18, 1 Cor 15:51-53)? Will you accept what Paul wrote ... 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10 Paul says that God will give the believers rest when Jesus comes (1 The 5:7-8) and at the same time the unbelievers will pay the penalty, "when he comes to be glorified in his saints on that day" (vv 9-10). 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3 The apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction (2 The 2.3) ... before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him (vs. 1). It all fits that we Gentile Christians will go through the Tribulation. |
