A majority opinion does NOT make a "heresy" valid! If that were true, then the "Trinnies" are right and we "Oneness" folks have it all wrong!

Jesus did say that few would find the straight and narrow way.
5% would make few.

ok now you are inventing statistics to bolster your argument. Rapture, correctly characterized, seems more a passing fancy of new Christians, wadr. Ezekiel's words seem awfully pointed, to be related to such a general subject as idol worship. Also, this would seem to violate the "step by step" approach to the Kingdom that i now cannot find. The Revelation, isn't it? Regardless, if you are confirmed in your own mind, this is what matters; i have no quarrel there.

There is nothing to indicate that we have one world government right now tho, either; and yet i could argue that we do. But let's just stick to "and there was light" describing the sun's ignition. You say we have no indication that millions of years may have passed (in the physical plane; God is outside of time), which is true. However, we also have no indication that millions of years did not pass between the two phrases. Again, miracle either way, to me--i can't make a sun!

But i can show many, many other Scriptural examples in which we typically read "instantaneous" which in fact took years. We read from our perspective, which is...very limited, to put it mildly. i submit that "poof" to God can be any number of imaginary time to us.

Sean, you ascribe to a rapture of the church; and i tell you that as long as Grace over-arches this for you, it doesn't matter, even a little bit. You may even be right, i don't know. I have come to believe as Lafon does there, but frankly i find the subject a red herring, a deviation from the important matter. Something to divide us, who all hope to be caught up by Christ, whatever we believe "in the air" means. Peace to you.

Thank you for your intervention in this dispute. It means alot to me!

Just look back and notice how(out of the blue) Lafon called my life changing MIRACLE..."demonic". I was not happy about that.

We can argue little points all we want, but we cannot tell a man his experience with God is demonic.

Thats where we draw swords!

[Sean]

It reminds me of those narrow minded old timers that would say if the miracle does not come through oneness believers, it is demonic.

[shazeep]

well, Lafon seems earnest to me, and this is a forum. Perhaps it is a test of your forgiveness. We all run toward evil, "drawing swords" etc unawares, so; it takes iron to sharpen iron. No one said it would be pleasant.

[Sean]

Amen, we need brethren like you around!
