Please define what the fairy tale is.
It's your fairy tale, why don't you define it? You should write a book about it. It might be a big seller in the fiction section.
As a literalist about Ezek 38 or Zech 14 you have to believe in sacrifice system operating in Jesus kingdom in israel on earth.
I'm not a "literalist", but I do enjoy being falsely defined by liars and "real writers and grammar scholars".
I simply believe the scripture in its NORMAL and OBVIOUS reading. You, on the other hand, feel the need to "interp" everything since you cannot seem to take if for what it actually says. That's too bad for you.
When the Bible says something, I believe it.
When it says "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives", I believe it.
When it says "this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven", I believe it.
Etc. etc. etc.
The reason the issues of Acts 1:3-4 are there about the kingdom of God is because it was the Spirit coming in power. You are a fool not to see and accept that.
You are a fool to take that out of context and force your fairy tale "kingdom" on the Word of God.
Luke 22:29-30 (AKJV/PCE)
(22:29) And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; (22:30) That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
What fairy tale "explanation" to you have for the twelve apostles sitting on twelve throne judging the twelve tribes of Israel?
No doubt it's some sort of "spiritual" eating and drinking in the "kingdom". :juggle:
The reason that is in the first paragraph of Acts, which was written as background on Paul for Roman admins to read in court/hearings, is so that they knew right off that the 'kingdom of God' was the odd events that happened at Pentecost in Jerusalem and was not another violent Judaistic zealot movement/revolution like so many others, for which those captured by Rome lost their heads.
Fiction from a fiction author. Where do you find this crap or are you the original author of this fiction?
Again, if you would just try to explain yourself instead of calling me one of your names, you and I would understand each other. You need to learn how to explain yourself.
I have explained myself just fine. You're DEAF, DUMB and BLIND to every explanation that you receive.
