I can agree that it is NOT a salvational issue..and I respect your feelings but at the same time I believe the scriptures speak for themselves.Go to any bookstore in America and you will see the shelves for "end times"just full and about every author and their uncle has wrote a book about what they think will happen.What you will not find is a book on what DID happen and what is found in
Matthew 24.Those personal pronouns {YOU's} are hard to ignore and many people have been taught to slide themselves into those verses instead of allowing those scriptures to speak for themselves..I respect anyone who disagrees but it is not me they are disagreeing with it is in their own bible as well..The scriptures had an original audience and we fail to look through the eyes of that 1st century church.I cannot say I am total agreement with Elder Blume but we do see some things the same..
Your ministry will be in my prayers.God Bless
