Re: Interesting alliance forming.

I am glad that everything Jesus said was only directed to the 1st century believers.

Yippee, let's just do whatever we want.....LOL!!!

That's not what Truthseeker was saying, but you don't care about that.

Technically, not one word was spoken to us.

It takes rightly dividing his words.

When he told them "when you see these things" they could trust they would see it.

"These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but having
seen them afar off, and being persuaded of them, and EMBRACED them, and
confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say
such things declare plainly that they seek a country."


I "...see these things...", for it has been given unto us to see them. If anyone
does not, or can not SEE, they have need of an ophthalmologist!

His NAME is Jesus!

That means, we as the same church of believers as the disciples were, do not have to apply what Jesus said, Right?

Yes, I see. We will rightly divide the 1st century church from the modern day church....The list of commandments given from Jesus to them, that we, today do not have to obey.

When he told them "when you see these things" they could trust they would see it.





And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.


Yes, then they were to look up for redemption has drawn nigh (for 2000 years so far). But in reality, they were severely persecuted from 70ad and onward until now, not yet being delivered from this world.

Some people just don't know how to rightly divide the word.

2Ti_2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2Ti_3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Nope not one thing about being profitable for reading future events!
We are to study scripture for those things that help us live a right life unto Christ.
Sean seems to think we are to study in order to determine the end of the world or some such nonsense. Fulfilled eschatology simply put all that end time nonsense behind us and live towards spreading the kingdom of God through the love of Christ. Not propagating fear through some last days destruction.

2Ti_1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
