ECT MAD 1: Jesus ministered to the circumcision.

[SaulToPaul 2]

(Heb 9:28) so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.

(Phil 3:20) But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

:chuckle:

 

[tetelestai]

:chuckle:

Keep laughing.

Is Phillipians 3:20 about your rapture, or the Second Coming?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Keep laughing.

Sometimes it is the only appropriate reply.

 

[tetelestai]

Sometimes it is the only appropriate reply.

If you disagree that Heb 9:28 and Phil 3:20 aren't speaking of the same thing, then prove me wrong.

The writer of Hebrews and Paul both say they are eagerly waiting for Christ Jesus.

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

If you disagree that Heb 9:28 and Phil 3:20 aren't speaking of the same thing, then prove me wrong.

Because I know better, and so do you, deep down in your heart somewhere.

 

[tetelestai]

Because I know better, and so do you, deep down in your heart somewhere.

The writer of Hebrews and Paul are saying the same thing.

They are both eagerly waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Deep down in my heart, I believe they are saying the same thing.

(Phil 3:20) But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Do you eagerly await a Savior from heaven?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

The writer of Hebrews and Paul are saying the same thing.

To different groups, for different events.

 

[tetelestai]

To different groups, for different events.

Why is it that neither Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, John, the writer of Hebrews, nor anyone else in the NT ever made a distinction between the alleged rapture and Second Coming?

You claim the rapture and Second Coming are two completely different events involving different groups of people, yet no one in the NT ever makes a distinction.

Instead, every NT writer (including Jesus) says "the coming of the Lord".

Yet, you claim "the coming of the Lord" refers to two completely different events.

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Why is it than neither Jesus, Peter, Paul, James, John, the writer of Hebrews, nor anyone else in the NT ever made a distinction between the alleged rapture and Second Coming?

:up:

 

[tetelestai]

To different groups, for different events.

Do you eagerly await a Savior?

If yes, I thought you were already saved?

Please explain?

 

[tetelestai]

:up:

Why didn't they make a distinction?

Why didn't Paul ever make a distinction?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Do you eagerly await a Savior?

If yes, I thought you were already saved?

Please explain?

Phil 3
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

:chuckle:

I await The Saviour.

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Why didn't Paul ever make a distinction?

:chuckle:

 

[tetelestai]

I await The Saviour.

I thought you get raptured away before The Saviour returns?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

I thought you get raptured away before The Saviour returns?

Catch that wording TOL?

 

[tetelestai]

:chuckle:

Why can't you answer?

Why did Paul never make a distinction?

One would think that with two huge events as the rapture and Second Coming, Paul would have made a distinction between the two?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

One would think that with two huge events as the rapture and Second Coming, Paul would have made a distinction between the two?

Yes, one would think.
Why did you believe in the Rapture for 27 years?

 

[tetelestai]

Catch that wording TOL?

Here is what you said:

I await The Saviour.

Does that not mean the Savior returns?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Does that not mean the Savior returns?

Titus 2:13 (KJV)

 

[tetelestai]

Yes, one would think.

So, you admit Paul never made a distinction?

Why did you believe in the Rapture for 27 years?

Because from the time I started going to Sunday School in 1st Grade, I was taught about a rapture.
