Besides choosing to believe in nothing, or some false religion or cult, there's only two routes to take.
1) Paul's Gospel
2) Following the law

Do you deny that the members of the Body of Christ will return to the earth when the Lord Jesus returns to the earth to set up His earthly kingdom?
After all, from the point of time of the rapture forward those in the Body of Christ will be with the Lord Jesus for ever:
"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1 Thess.4:17).
If one seeks after eternal life today, read/study Romans through Philemon (Paul's writings.)
I'm not about to get into a discussion with you. You're trouble.
No offence intended. I just don't have a desire to argue with you.
I hope you understand? There are some on TOL I'd rather not associate
with and you're one of them, okay?

That is not right. The Twelve were in the Body so the General epistles are for those in the Body of Christ as well. Let us look at who was being addressed at 1 Corinthians:
"Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's" (1 Cor.1:2).
All of the Christians in every place called on the name of the Lord Jesus, both Jew and Gentile, when that epistle was written. And here is what Paul told them all:
"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit" (1 Cor.12:13).
Ignore him, GM; he has no respect for the issues our posts are addressing; introducing his own battles into them with no intent to let up until he is declared some sort of a Godfather of Mid-Acts.
The man has no sense of class in this; you'd think he'd contribute help with what is being discussed with someone in opposition to Mid-Acts.
No class, whatsoever.
See, just as I predicted.

I shewed you how to rightly divide the word of truth. It's no surprise that you do not approve, although I pray that you do (Philippians 1:9-10 KJV).
Yep, this guy is "trouble city."

Hi GM!
I'm now placing you on permanent ignore. That's reserved for "Special" posters, such as yourself.
That Jerry is a complete hindrance in my opinion.

You tell me that I am trouble but no offense intended. LOL
It is you who is trouble because of your false theology. And now you refuse to even attempt to defend your ideas.
What is wrong, my friend? Do you think that Paul was in error when he taught that from the point of time of the rapture forward those in the Body of Christ will be with the Lord Jesus for ever?:
"Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" (1 Thess.4:17).
Who can take you seriously, especially when you look for excuses to duck verses which do not fit your silly ideas?

You should start with the dispensation of Grace to Adam and Eve and move forward.
The Body of Christ in the Old Testament?
Isaiah 45:20-25 "Gather together and come; assemble, you fugitives from the nations. Ignorant are those who carry about idols of wood, who pray to gods that cannot save. Declare what is to be, present it--let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the Lord? And there is no God apart from me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me. Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked; Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, 'In the Lord alone are righteousness and strength. All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame. But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be found righteous and will exult."

You are a complete hindrance to many of the truths found in the Bible. But you show that you refuse to follow Paul when he said that he "kept back nothing that was profitable unto you" and "I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God" (Acts 20:20, 27).
All you have is your "opinion" and you refuse to support your ideas with the Scriptures.
You have already placed many verses on permanent ignore. And that is why you want nothing to do with me--because I quote those verses which you hate.

No you didn't. You used your doctrine as a divisor. That's poor theology and weak faith.

Neither of you have any respect for the verses which I quote to prove you both wrong. In your case you just run and hide from those verses and GM makes up excuses so that he can run and hide from those verses.
