There is no "rapture" in the Scriptures. It must be interpreted there.

Can you show IN THE BIBLE where the word "rapture" is located?



The word "should" is often used by those who would impose their own morality on others.

The word "forever" is NOT Scriptural. No matter if you spell it in caps or bold or whatever.

CLV 1Tim 1:17 Now to the King of the eons, the incorruptible, invisible, only, and wise God, be honor and glory for the eons of the eons! Amen!

How many "forevers" do you think there are?

What 5 paragraphs do you mean? Who are you talking to?



I could also explain in detail what prophecy tells us. I have studied the Scriptures (and prophecy) for 47 years. Does this mean I win? LOL

Can you tell us where Paul tells us about the 5 eons?

Strong's

G165 aion ahee-ohn'
from the same as G104;

properly, an age; by extension, perpetuity (also past); by implication, the world; specially (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future). Compare G5550.

In the manner that I used "should " is 100% accurate.

And yes I know the word rapture isn't in the Bible ,but what it represents is and is an acceptable word to define an event that hasn't happen yet , but will happen .

There are many words not in the Bible that can be used to teach, describe, expound , illustrate, ect. God and His teachings and prophecies.

Nothing wrong with that as long as it is in harmony with the Scriptures and within the context of the Scriptures.

The End of the World

Well, I hope it is not until the end of the baseball seasons. The N.Y. Yankees are really a roll.

I would hate to see it end because of that

I don't adhere to your particular morality. Therefore, it is NOT 100% accurate.

And by whose standards is it not "wrong"? Certainly not by Paul's standards. How can it be OK to add words to the Scriptures...

CLV Re 22:18 "I am testifying to everyone who is hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If ever anyone may be appending onto them, God shall be appending onto him the calamities written in this scroll.
19 And if ever anyone should be eliminating from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall be eliminating his part from the log of life, and out of the holy city, that is written in this scroll.

Can you post a verse from the Bible that says it's OK to make up words and add them to the Bible?

Just a quick question or two:

1. Where is it written in scripture that it is okay to interpret the words written to have meaning other than exactly what is written?

2. Where does scripture exactly describe God to allow you to recognize Him as only God when you meet Him?

3. Why does scripture refer to God as Him? Why not Her? Why not It? Him implies God is a Male. Yet, we have examples of life on this very planet that are neither/both male/female. Who are God's parents?

Since all scripture is open to interpretation, the words are not as important as the intent. So Eon and Hell are just words and the intent and interpretation, of that intent, is what the scriptures give people.

Religion is a unification of belief based on the interpretation of scripture intent, not the actual words.

Since scripture implies "What does it mean to you" creates a conflict of interpretation because the intent is not always clear by the words that are written. Its the whole reason there are different sects based on basically the same scripture.
What's more, the scripture was written thousands of years ago, in a different land with different values, different trials and different concerns. Not to single out but just as important, a different language.

The intent of scripture is mutable to allow someone to find unity in 2018 by encouraging interpretation.

I do not care what you adhere to and there is no particular morality being spoken of.

No where in my post you quoted does it say anything about adding words to Scripture.

So I'm not sure why you are implying that and asking your latter question.

Again, untrue. When you use the word "should" you are speaking of your own morality. You are trying to impose your own morality onto me. It won't work.



Sure you are. You are trying to fit the word "rapture" into the Bible. You even say you know it's not there, and yet you insist it is, if only in meaning. You said...



There is no "rapture" in the Bible, despite what "Left Behind" tells you.



There is no implication. I am asking you to back up what you say with Scriptures. So far, you have not done that.

CLV 1Thess 5:21 Yet be testing all, retaining the ideal.

Or, as the KJV says...

KJV 1Thess 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

I don't see anyone using the Scriptures to back up their ideas here.

If you're using scriptures to back up you're idea then it's not your idea, you're just quoting someone else's idea

Perhaps that's why I used the word "post." Nelly!

This .

I have no idea what this means.

Mistranslating the word 'aion' into "eternal" brings no glory to God.

An 'aion' is an age. a time period. It has a beginning and an ending.

It is NOT "eternal."

Still, you didn't answer the question. If so many of these "aions" are translated as "forever," how can they be plural?

How many "forevers" do you think there are?

Still no answer.

What doesn't bring God glory is denying the deity of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is in the Bible .

No one is denying Jesus Christ here.

You seem confused.

Apparently it is you who is confused because I never said anyone denied Jesus Christ .

I said , "what doesn't bring God glory is denying the deity of Jesus Christ.

Hope the second time helps.

Telling the truth brings God glory. Making up words and adding them to the Bible does just the opposite.

Then refrain from making things up .

You mean like "rapture"?

There is no "rapture" in the Scriptures.

Yes there is. We already went over this several times.

There is no laptop in the Bible.
