Who ever heard of church appearing in a body, seen by angels, preaching itself among nations, believed on, taken up in glory?
Think, McFly, think.

I did notice a John W post the other day, where to much surprise he actually was speaking ordinarily about a text.
what a mess. It was 1 Tim 3:16.
Do you remember those bibles with the green X000 in the future lights I mentioned? Well there are also D'ist bibles with green lights wherever the word 'mystery' is found.
This mystery has nothing to do with the church. It is the mystery of God's redemptive work, called the mystery of godliness. The originals have either 'God' or 'He' to kick the thing off, so check the wiring on those green lights.

Maybe there are green lights now for the word body, too, lol!!!
You'd better not be validating people 'believe on ' the church. That's a set up for the papacy if there ever was one!
I suppose 'taken up' is the rapture, whooooo-hoooooey! Funny how it is past tense.
If you see a translation note in a version, be sure to consult and get to a solid conclusion before you go off firing at innocent bystanders.
A 6 year old can see, understand, by studying the details of the book, not commentaries, like yourself,
Wonder what causes that, saint john?
You buy a brand new 2017 Ford Pinto, and instead of reading the car manual, you Google things others have written about the car. A mite curious...
One key to what Paul was actually talking about in the following, is in what he had already been talking about when he then added to that what he then added to it, after it...
He was talking about this, in verse 15...
1 Timothy 3:14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
He then said this about said "house of God..."
3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
:up:
You are a mess. The mystery of godliness is a church, as is the mystery of iniquity.
You nailed that one, Mayor! Keep this up, Sally, and you'll master the US Constitution, in no time. "We...."
I suspect that Interloper's commentaries never covered the mystery of godliness, saint john.
Where is said mystery of Godliness in how we treat those we disagree with?
That'd be T.O.E. - but as usual, ya stuck your whole foot in your mouth :chuckle:
Ya think so, hunh?
.... :chuckle:
Nah, I was just providing an example where you do not always treat others with said mystery of godliness...
It's a conspiracy.Nah, I was just providing an example where you do not always treat others with said mystery of godliness...
The mystery of godliness was about God, but that it profoundly affects our lives. It is not about the church. It is not about the house of God. (Calling all compartmentalizers: where is your HOG doctrine that should be answering questions raised about the so-called mystery of the church?)
After sampling a few STP's today, I notice:
An arrogant person, totally absorbed in himself. I have talked with 100 pagans over the past 2 months and no thanks, I'd rather speak with them any day than STP.
I find him totally DQ'd on Hebrews based on responses so far. How people cannot see what is taking place with the land in Hebrews borders on hilarious. I don't need to hear anything further from a person who knows 8:8 only, end of discussion. Nor that 1:8 says the Son is on God's thrown--as though there were several. who has time or interest in chasing down forced, abstrusities that he invents to protect Chafer and D'ism and 2P2P.
He still thinks the promise verse in Acts 13 is the one about Abraham earlier. Talk about a person who does not know a punchline when he see it.
then he thinks I Cor 10 is about the ends of the world, another grammatical FLOP on the WRONG verse.
Aaaaaah, the internet, where you can dictate to people that you are the only one who knows! No proof, no reasons, just bit-space!
The mystery of godliness was about God, but that it profoundly affects our lives. It is not about the church. It is not about the house of God.
Wow. The blindness...
