solite3:
the type of fish is unimportant to the message it carries

The authencity of acclaimed facts gives credence to a story.

U implying that if I give u $1Million as at this moment(for no apparent reason), the source of the cash is unimportant to u, you'd rather stick to my claim of incredible benevolence?
Ur remark is a careless one, sir.
It means it's very well acceptable to employ dubious means for a good cause, provided the motive is good.


U seem to fink I got a prob with jonah. Not exactly, if u wud re-read my original post. I gave credence to the fact that he(jonah) was swallowed by a fish, not a whale. This is coz I choose to give credence to his story from the perspective of an eyewitness's account.
I choose to not be dragged into a debate of the authenticity of acclaimed authorship of the book of jonah as at dis time; atleast not to derail the thread. Tnx and do ava gudnite

solite3:
nobody knows the type of fish biologically whale is no fish
but by resemblance it looks like a fish OK?

Even the Person swallowed by the fish, don't know the kind of fish that swallowed him up?. Yet he cud write the book of Jonah(as we're made to bliv) in detail about every other thing. The last time I checked, the books of the bible were supposedly written under some sort of Divine inspiration and revelation. You, my friend, are bout to tel me now that the description of a fish must av eluded both the Eyewitness and victim of the Incident as well as the Divine spirit that inspired him to write the book too?

Adam was expelled not because of competition with God but
because God didn't want him to live forever in that fallen
state

On the rapture issue, u made no point. U merely highlighted "caught up" which I already emphasized is not the same as "rapture"...I'll appreciate apt points pls..tnx

Hmmn...u got such an interesting perspective on why God purportedly sent Adam and Eve out of Eden.
So, sending them out of the Garden and heaping quality curses upon them is an indication that he wants them not to remain in a fallen state.
I never knew Irrevocable curses of pain can put man on a risen state.
JESUS IS LORD.

Scholar8200:
Well, why didnt you just quote from these? Why use the word in the midst of the KJV especially when the word as used in Matthew 24 is not found in 1 Thessalonians in the same version?

Am sori..I neva knew "those left" and "those remained" seem dissimilar in meaning to u. I, however, can't communicate to u in any other language aside SIMPLE and PLAIN English sir.

Scholar8200:
Interesting, what does this imply, 2 raptures isnt it?


And

"Caught up in the flood".."Caught up in the fire"...
Does any of the aforemention express semantic similarity to "caught up to meet the Lord"?....
It was the good guys I likened to bein caught up with the lord as stated in 1thessalonians 4. The bad guys are "taken away UNTO JUDGEMENT. I wrote in English, not german.
Plz raise some relevant point...u are abt to bore me

Scholar8200:
Well, it is NOT the saints but those left behind after the Battle of Armageddon:

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Zechariah 14:16
They were not part of the armies of the Beast (Rev 19: 19-21), but are the ones who, for the time of the Millenial reign will be free from deception because the Devil is bound. Once same is loosed, they, not the saints,will be deceived!

This lays to rest your claims of sinners being taken first before the saints!!!

Stop muddling things up, u av shifted from the false ideology of rapture to the characterization of the prophecy of GT in Zechariah.; all In a desperate bid to emphasize that the Sinners will be the one to remain. This is pure digression, u're unconsciously abating the rapture dogma now which might put u very well in my perspective. I'd advice u avoid this!
U r talkin abt battles now, how does that reiterate the concept of rapture with the Saints being taken up, leaving behind sinners.
Zechariah 14:16 clearly states that the ones who are left or survives from coming up against Jerusalem have faced such fate through the aftermath of Battles, not being "raptured"
Lolz...u av totally abandoned the rapture theory and now talkin wars of GT. Smh
Oya make a U-turn. U aint debating with a Kid here.
I must commend ur prowess in rendering a plethora of scriptural references that happen to be out context in the discourse of a debate.

shadeyinka:
I guess you mean that THERE IS NO WORD or TEXT as rapture in the Bible. The word RAPTURE describes the words “caught up” or “taken away” . So what?

Firstly, read my write-up on rapture again to grasp where I said "rapture" is not descriptive of "caught-up" or "taken away"..it was a mistranslation.

Then follow my debate with scholar8200 from the inception of this thread. come back afterwards with relevant points(if u apun to av 1 by then) that we can cross-examine from opposing sides.

shadeyinka:
You started well but your conclusion is wrong. Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden NOT because God did not want a competition. No!

They were expelled so that they may NOT become ETERNAL Sinners and Unredeemable Souls like the fallen Angels who left their first estate.

A human being is a Spirit, hence he is Eternal NY nature. A man need to Die to be rebirthed.

"Behold adam become as one of
us,
knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he
put
forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat,
and
live for ever"


If that passage don't come across to u as some sort of avoidance of competition, then I'd leave u to ur opinion. You should ask urself why "satan" who's in competition with God is the same person God warns Adam and Eve against, so as not to take upon themselves the sort of wisdom he promises dem if dey cud go against God's will.

Hmmmn...human being; a spirit, then needs to die again to be rebirthed, yet u say he is ETERNAL by nature. You are about to confuse urself with delicate terms sir.

none will be denied His resurrection!
God's wrath will be poured out on the earth and its
inhabitants during the GT. Since we (the Church) are
delivered from wrath through Him, would not the Judge of
the Earth do right?

Hold on, sir, b4 u start doin copy and paste of some orthodox theological junk u don't understand. Do u intend to confuse readers with these mumbo-jumbo?
Let the audience learn in layman's terms. All these highly digressive perspectives of urs can't elude me. Keep that in Mind
Now, to the subject matter.
1. Enoch's case has nothing to do with rapture...in view of the fact that ur idea of rapture is the trasnport of saints into another state. U seem to forget Enoch wasn't the only saint on earth as at when he was taken up into heaven. So are u telling me there's "selective rapture" ?...lolz
2. Abeg, give a scriptural reference that implies the transfiguration of Noah and all other saved creatures b4 the flood and another evidence in the case of lot being taken into a figure.

P.S: Counter my points in context with or without scriptural backings(as u please), but don't come pasting stuffs here u obviously dint read Up b4 pressing the SUBMIT button. Remember, I know how to paste too.

Scholar8200:
This is a description of Revelation 19&20 when the false
prophet, beast and armies and finally the post-Millenial
reign world would be destroyed. Nothing here shows or
suggests that those that will meet the Lord in the air are the
sinners!

I never implied directly or indirectly that those that wud meet the lord are sinners. U can quote me on any part of my writing where I said so..
My point is "getting caught up". To meet the lord has nothing to do with ur idea of rapture.
Obviously u'e been speaking but not listening sinx. #Strange

Scholar8200:
Caught up on arrival, not in the air? Then just who does
satan deceive after the Millenial reign? Revelation 20:7-10)

Yet again, u quoted a scriptural reference u got no understanding of.
Sir, that passage actually talks bou the defeat of satan. I fink I'll not give u a cheap and direct answer on this. It'll come in form of a rhetoric
U asked me. Who does satan decieve after the Millenial reign"...I guess u don't want to assume it's the saints satan decieved.
Well, verse 9 tells us how satan was defeated, so on whose behalf was satan defeated by God?
The same sinners that he must have left on earth to suffer chey?

Scholar8200:
I prefer a cross examination of Scripture with Scripture,
promise and prophecies! Not a straining at words to extract
self-serving albeit scripture-contradicting meanings!

I gave u a detailed comparison of three scriptural references which were indeed prophecies and promises, u're stil askin for cross-examination of scripture with scripture, promise and prophecies..
Kindly open ur dictionary to check the meaning of words b4 u use them..
The funny thing is that u r yet to gimme any scriptural cross examination, u merely quoting various scriptures haphazardly to backup ur claims on rapture. U really have a loose perspective on this.
Not to worry, I'll help separate the RELEVANT seeds from the shaft.

Scholar8200:
I dont find the word left in 1 Thessalonians 4! I hope it is not
an attempt to confuse the readers as to which group exactly
you are referring to?

Lolz...yet again u just showed ur shallow understanding of subject matter...u don't just debate scriptural meanings and What they imply with one translation of the bible. That makes u reek of bigotry or ignorance.
If u're looking for "left"...go read the passage in ESV(english Standard Version), NET(new english translation) and ASV(American Standard Versions) bible Translations to mention a few. #CaseClosed

kilo4sure:
I think the major issue here is how you interpret ''caught up" , l would love you to explain your interpretation of the term better, if you don't mind.

Bro...there's no issue of interpretation conflicts here..I strictly explained within the boundaries of context..it's the good ones that are left behind while the bad ones are taken away first... The problem here is the erroneous interpretation of "caught-up" for the "rapture" ideology. They are never the same.
The good ones being "caught up" in the air with the lord HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RAPTURE

-----------

The term in
the Bible commonly mistranslated to the word “rapture”
actually comes from the Greek ἁρπάζω (harpazo) which
actually means “caught up” or “taken away”

-------------

So, sinx they interchange "caught-up" with rapture, they assume that "a non-existent prophecy or situation" where the good ones are taken-off, leavin the bad guys behind to be destroyed with the earth is "rapture"...
Ironically, the bible, as I've proven it(which u quoted) never painted such scenario. The bone of contention here is a gross misconception of 1thessalonians 4:16-18. They good ones being with the lord in the air IS NOT RAPTURE. Sinx, they assume, the good ones being in the air have the bad guys left behind, hoping they cud join dem up above. Nah!

The online bible site indicated who'll be taken Away and who'll remain.
This sort of debate requires an individual to consult different translations of a text to get a bigger picture of the intended Meaning of a passage.

-------------

The people that invented this false "rapture" doctrine(that's a story for another day)..took the mistranslation when it was used in the context of being applied to philip being "caught away"(or raptured as they erroneously put it).
The sold out idea of rapture being originated from philips incident was that the saints(just as philip was) would be suddenly taken-way to heaven.
The strange issue here is, philip was actually not taken into heaven. He vanished from there, only to appear somehwhere else.
Kindly read Acts 8:39-40

Cc: solite

The “Rapture” being referred to in a passage in 1Thessalonians 4:16-18, where Christians are “caught up” in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” have been largely misconcieved.

Many Christians believe,
and promote, that this being “caught
up” to meet the Lord will occur before the Great Tribulation
sometime in the near future. Christians will simply vanish(as we've always assumed),
meet Jesus somewhere in the air, and then return with Him
to Heaven to await the end of time.
But notice, in 1Thessalonians 4:15, Paul says that “…we who are alive,
who are left,” shall be caught up.
This is a very important
point to stress to rapture enthusiasts.
Those who are “left”
get caught up to meet the Lord.

Keep that in mind as we look
at these next couple of Scripture passages.

The "rapture" concept got their ideology from a passage in
Luke 17:22-37(the very one scholar8200 refused to read up for understandable reasons), and a similar passage in Matthew 24:29-44, which
"strongly compares" the coming of the Lord to the days of Noah and
the days of Lot.

Matthew 24 puts it this way: “As were the
days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man…[they
ate, they drank, they married] and they did not know until
the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the
coming of the Son of man. Then two men will be in the field,
one is taken and one is left. Two women grinding at the mill,
one is taken one is left.”

----------------------------

“One is taken, one is left” — the Rapture right?

Jesus takes
the Christians and leaves behind non-Christians!

That’s how rapture enthusiasts interpret these passages..

---------------

Well, there are however. Two problems with these "rapture” interpretation:

First, in the passages from Luke 17 and Matthew 24, Jesus’
coming is compared to the days of Noah and the days of Lot.
Let’s think about that for a moment. After the flood, who was
left?

Noah and his family — "the good guys". The bad guys
were taken('caught up' in the flood) and the good guys were left behind!

-------------

After Sodom
and Gomorrah went up in smoke, who was left?

Lot and his
daughters — "the good guys". The bad guys were taken('caught up' in the fire) and
the good guys were left behind!.

------------------

The second problem with the dogmatic “rapture” interpretation,
has to do with what I mentioned above: 1 Thessalonians 4
says that those who are “left” get to meet Jesus in the air.

-----------------

You want to be left behind. Why? Because those who are left
behind get to meet Jesus on His return to earth.

Again, when
you put 1 Thessalonians 4 together with Matthew 24 and
Luke 17, it becomes quite apparent that the good guys are
the ones left behind to meet Jesus.

------------------

And, if you need further proof of that, there’s a passage in
Matthew 13 that pretty much seals the deal.

Matthew
13:39-43, “…and the enemy who sowed them [the bad seed]
is the devil; the harvest is the close of the age, and the
reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are gathered and
burned with fire, so will it be at the close of the age. The Son
of man will send His angels and they will gather out of His
kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers(the bad guys), and throw them
into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their
teeth. Then the righteous(the ones that remain after the bad ones have been taken and dealt with) will shine like the sun in the
kingdom of their Father.”

------------------------------

So when Scripture says that “one is taken and one is left,” as
it does in Luke 17 and Matthew 24, it is not talking about the
Rapture, it is talking about the harvest at the close of the
age(which we have translated to the rapture ideology, as evident in these sermon and xtian films).

The ones who are taken, as it says in Matthew 13, are
the evildoers. The angels will take them and toss them
into the furnace of fire(somewhere else). So, the "rapture ideology" got it
wrong. The ones taken are not the good
guys, they are the evildoers. The ones who are left behind
are the ones who get to be caught up in the clouds to meet
Jesus in the air(to go nowhere actually) at His Second Coming, when He will bring all
of the angels and saints with Him and there will be a new
Heaven and a new earth.

Ii is only when the bad guys have been taken away unto judgement, then the good guys left behind will be caught up with the lord upon arrival. There's nothing like "the good guys will vanish or get caught up, then the bad guys remain to suffer whatever stuff with the destruction of the earth". That is a misnomer, which in itself nullifies the ideology of rapture, to say, it's not anywhere in the bible.



In other words, there will be no Rapture like the ones you have always believed. The rapture ideology teach the
opposite of what Scripture actually says.

You both should educate urselves by visiting the link below which has various bible translations of the Luke 17:22-37 and Matthew 24:29-44 where the "rapture" ideology actually came from. 1thessalonians 4:16-18 only buttress the idea, emphasizing on who are "left behind" after the judgment of the bad guys have taken place.

THERE WERE NO "THREE" WISE MEN

There weren’t three and they didn’t visit Jesus in a manger.
The Bible never mentioned the number of wise men (but does state the number of gifts as three, which is probably where this misconception stems from). Additionally, Herod demanded
the death of all boys under two, making it probable that
Christ had been born up to two years prior. Also, the wise
men visited Jesus when he lived in a house(not a manger) according to the
Biblical account in Matthew 2:11.

DELILAH NEVER CUT SAMSON'S HAIR

I can imagine some intense disagreement to this within some us at this moment. Samson's hair was indeed cut, but strangely, we've always imagined it to be delilah. Nah!

Samson and Delilah is a famous story from the Old
Testament which ends rather badly, as Samson’s long hair is
cut short to destroy his strength. The common misconception is that Delilah was the one to give him the chop. But in fact, it was Delilah’s servant who did it.

HEAVEN HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES

A more common version: “God helps those who help themselves” – a wise and good
quote that (almost)everyone presumed is from the Bible. But, in fact, it isn’t. It was a man, not even any of the apostles, and not even a god who coined the well known (and overused) proverb. It was Benjamin Franklin in his
Poor Richard’s almanac. He was, at one time, the President of the United States of America(not actually, but passively), with his image on the U.S dollar bill.

Now consider this in the light of this and kindly show me what there underscores your position:

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to [size=13pt]meet the Lord in the air[/size]: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thesalonians 4:16-18
This was to happen only to those in Christ.

This is the very strong point that we xtians have held onto NARROWLY. Don't get me wrong, I dint dispute the meaning of this passage, but most of us av refused to look at d big picture somehow. Despite the fact that u've refused to consider my perspective at all on this delicate but technical passage that talks bou the rapture.
However, there r 2 or more bible references that are akin to this. Kindly quote them here(if u can) and make some comparison(in context) to 1 Thesalonians 4:16-18 that u pasted above. We r slowly attempting a close examination of the big picture now.

What is the dumbest question anyone has ever asked you?


Few years back, a friend walked up 2 me and asked if I can allow my sister to marry him....So stewpid a guy!!

The guy is really stewpid for actually asking such a question. Thinking he needs ur permission to marry ur sista. I no go lie.
But, u're actually stewpider for thinking u've got some veto over their affair, if they both choose to get serious with it. That is, if u respect ur sister as ur babe's brother respected her enuf to allow her date u as her ultimate choice.

Nonsense!
When u wanna marry someone else's sister, you're the qualified type, but when person wey be ur padi, wan marry ur own sister, they're always the unserious type.
