Nancy, Do you think that I am a false teacher? I give you Bible facts and you tell me with no thought at all that he was talking about and did come back as the Holy Spirit to fulfill those verses. The Son is the Holy Spirit. The Son is not at the right hand of the Father today? Or did he switch places with the Holy Spirit so that he could go back to take his rightful place with the Father? There were thousands of Gentiles and Jews that were converted, esp. by Paul who started many Churches. Now, this is truth. The Jews didn't know when he was coming back and didn't care. The Christians however, talked daily about the soon return of the SON, not the Holy Spirit. All the Christians were Pre Trib, Preturist because he TOLD THEM he would be back in there generation while many of them were still alive! When they saw the Roman armies on the advance and about to encircle Jerusalem, they did as JESUS TOLD THEM TO. They fled to the hills and mountains. and hid until God resurrected all of them. No more letters, Nancy. Not from Timothy, or Dr, Luke. As a matter of fact, there was a several year pause and nothing was heard again from the thousands of Christians because they were gone to Heaven! The Jews paid the price for their denial of the Son of God. Read the history about how they were slaughtered. Men, women and children slaghtered in masse by the Roman armies. Then After it was all over, the main Jewish Synagouge at Jerusalem never was anything like they were. You will find out that a few small groups hid out in the caves, but they were never an effective force for Judiasm or the Lord. Yes, he came in on a cloud, and thousands of Christians saw him as he resurrected them. Course they were not around to tell what happened to them. The only one who was a witness to the plight of the Jews and the glory of the risen Christians was a Jewish General named Josephus. He knew the secret of warming up to the Ceasars so they allowed him to live. He wrote many books about the Jew and the Christian. He heard and saw the Heavenly forces of Christ in the Heavens as they did battle with Satan and his army during the Apocalypse. I can't give you a detailed study of the Parousia over a computer terminal, Nancy. I will be in deep prayer for you from now on until God shows you the light of the truth. The truth can not be hidden under a basket so long as there is one soul to light a candle. Dear Nancy,your objections do not hold water. Ask God to forgive you for speaking out untruths about Jesus and the Holy Spirit. May you be refreshed by our Lord and Savior, my Christain sister. James
