Bible Note: Nolan Again you assume your view is the right view. A high number of bible scholars agree with my position over yours. I think we are a empasse not because we can't articulate our idea clearly enough. I think we are at an empasse because for whatever reason we see the scriptures to say something different than the other. Yours is an idea that was held for many years, mine is a rather new idea last 200 or so years but is probably the most widely accepted. Of this I'm certain Jesus is Coming back. And when he does one of us is going to say wow was I wrong, but you know what? Being wrong won't bother us because it will be overshadowed by the Glory of the Lord. I live for that Day! I wait for that Day! And if it took agreement between us for that day to happen I would agree with you in a second, however it doesn't and I reserve my right to disagree with you on this. Besides just think how much fun one of us will have being able to kiddingly say to the other in heaven nay nay I was right! One Day together with the Lord EdB |
