The remarkable work of the Holy Spirit thru regeneration!
Since we are deep in the Passover, please edify us by expounding on the following. Use Biblical passages as proofs.
The Book of John has (4) Passovers.
Each Passover relates to the (4) cups of the Passover.
Tell us what are the nature and descriptions of the (4) cups.
Then tell us which Passover relates to which cup.
Then tell us how these are directly related to the 153 fish of John 21.
You say and you think that you are a teacher?
Well then teach us teacher. If you are able.
Or is strong meat too much for your delicate stomach?
If this is too tough, maybe you need to stick to your diet of pablum.
You see, this is being taught to me (right now actually) by an ACTUAL teacher, a wise man, a diligent thoughtful man,
a man who dug deeply sought earnestly. A man we can all trust to teach what is right in good conscience.
Yup. Literal demon armies from that abyss.
Not only that, God literally suspends death for 5 months.
Why?
As a MERCIFUL WARNING to men of what awaits them in the lake of fire should they take the mark.
[Rev 9:5-6 KJV]
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Rev 9:10
And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Use relevant Bible passages.
?????????
If you are somehow disabled from doing so, I offer my sincerest apologies.
Are you able to copy and paste passages? Please tell us.
No worries we only wait for our Bridegroom to remove us from the time and place of testing and trial...
Rev 3:10 - Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Yes Christ reigns on the earth during the millennium. But only AFTER Israel cries out for Him to return to save them...
[Hos 5:14-15 KJV]
14 For I [will be] unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, [even] I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue [him].
15 I will go [and] return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
[Hos 6:1-2 KJV]
1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
[Zec 12:10, 12 KJV]
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn. ...
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
Come to think of it, infinite Jesus God possesses infinite blood of infinite potency.
More than enough to go around, considering that sins are merely finite.
The constraint is the reality that there are those who do not want it.
How are you thinking?
Are you thinking?
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
"We, means?" The CHURCH members that had not died prior to that day!
The Church is one body!
How did you screw that up in your brain????
Get the context. - 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17
According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until
the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice
of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in
the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Christians who have died before the Rapture will be resurrected first!
What voices do you listen to!?
Test the spirits.
I am serious. Your confidence does not come from God.
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,
because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
That is where I see you right now.
You have been suckered.
Like Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland had great confidence in teaching false doctrine.
It appears...
You're here to be trained and perfected by the entity that guides you to resist Christians who walk in the Holy Spirit.
Never want to meet you.
How did you screw that up in your brain????
Nobody knows, but lets hope whatever the reasons its not catchy!
And PLEASE somebody tell @Cameron143 that there is no historical record saying that the apostle John was raptured.
Or Timothy or Luke or Mark or Titus......
So then ask yourself: Why does the biblically illiterate nonsense being peddled here continue unabated?
**********************************************************************************************
Several disciples, coworkers, and close associates of Paul almost certainly did survive to AD 70, even though Paul himself did not. The evidence varies in strength, so I’ll distinguish between very solid, probable, and traditionally attested cases.
Very solid / highly likely
Luke (the physician)
- Paul’s close companion (Col 4:14; 2 Tim 4:11).
- Almost universally regarded as the author of Luke–Acts.
- Acts ends before AD 70, but Luke clearly lived long enough to compile extensive eyewitness material.
- Strong early tradition places Luke living into the late 1st century (often dying in Greece).
- Almost certainly alive in AD 70.
- Paul’s trusted emissary and coworker.
- According to tradition, first bishop of Crete.
- Church tradition places his death late in the 1st century.
- Likely alive in AD 70.
- Associated with both Paul and Peter.
- With Paul late in life (Col 4:10; Phlm 24; 2 Tim 4:11).
- Traditionally linked to the Gospel of Mark (often dated shortly before or after AD 70).
- Almost certainly alive in AD 70.
Timothy
- Paul’s closest protégé (“my true child in the faith”).
- Mentioned as alive after Paul’s death (Heb 13:23 implies Timothy had been imprisoned and released).
- Later tradition places Timothy as bishop of Ephesus until his martyrdom (sometimes dated c. AD 80–97).
- Very likely alive in AD 70.
You only cite the number.
You never post the actual passage for us to see?
You're an illusionist.
Creating an image of knowing something.
But? When presented and shown for what it says?
You are just a TIME WASTER.
I feel sorry for you.
You are doing just what Satan did to Jesus in his temptation.
Citing Scripture. But evil.
God was de-creating Egypt and Sodom?
Ridiculous.....
Tell us again that the pillar of cloud, fire and manna were largely symbolic while you are at it.
