"We must always defend the scriptures and not our theology." A very good line, DLL! Another one that I have used throughout the years is: "Sometimes we let our theology get in the way of our honesty." Subjects like "eternal security" are not that cut and dried. Or what do you do with the scripture: "Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord." Or unless one speaks in "tongues" he is not filled with the Spirit. So---we box ourselves in with man-made theology, because we "read a book", or a popular preacher impressed us, or our church/denomination says this is the way. Or baptism, do we immerse, pour, or sprinkle. On TV the other night I was listening to a person telling about the benefit of prayiing to the Saints because they were such good persons and they would have the ear of Jesus. On and on it goes. Have a phenomenal Tuesday, DLL. You'll never have another day like today. OMB

Dear DLL, We can trade out of context verses forever and we are no closer than before. I was just giving you the words of our Lord that His Second Coming would be in the time of the generation of the apostles, and some of them would still be alive on His return. I think that you are trying to separate the Jewish believers from Christians and suggest that they have a different destiny even though they have denied the Son of God. Here is another prophesy in Malachi about the apocalypse and mentions Elija which had to be John the Baptist, giving fair warning to the Jews about the immminent return of the Lord. Malachi 4 1For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. 4Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. I would not assume in any way that Jesus and the Apostles were wrong about the time of the Second Coming during the Apocalypse in 70 AD during the destruction of Judah and Israel. The Christians were warned to flee to the caves and mountains and I believe that they did just that prior to His coming. Santiago
