Locust

back when I was a child ,maybe 5 years old,there was a pole in the yard that had a light on it . it occurred to me .it ''was''(past tense ) a tree . Acts 5:30 is saying no crossbar . just the trunk of a tree.

you dont like acts 5:30 ? why did you change it

Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. regardless of what people think or feel it ultimately depends on what the judge determines.Matthew 7:23. "Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'". those called the evildoers do know of Jesus Matthew 24:5 says, "For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many" and BTW will be deceived . 2 Corinthians 13:5 New International Version 5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?

have you not been paying attention? acts 5:30 Jesus died on a tree . it very likely it was used several times . please pay attention

please understand that if you end up dead and we never hear from you again ....you were never saved

that's right .it does not give that information. its not in the narrative .yet we have to know it did happen .the bodies of those three men had to be taken down and buried before sun down .that by the way is in the narrative. i have done the chat with different ones that insist that was not the Roman way . however its in the Bible that the bodies were taken down . the only intelligent way to get them down is the opposite way to which it was stood. where then is the standing cross ? chances are it was used before Jesus and then many more times after Jesus

have you ever been asked that ? or maybe you asked someone are you saved ? Matthew 10:22 says, "You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. I'm something of a smarty ,I will quickly ask ,saved from what ? normally its not a question any are expecting. as it is right now we have a enemy 1 Corinthians 15:26 says, " The last enemy to be destroyed is death. it stands to reason the only way to be saved from death to life will come through Jesus the christ. are you saved ? Technically no . there is a good chance you .......someday will die. taken from the people you love . to then to be saved from death to live again when the last enemy death is destroyed.

is it the thought of being caught naked out side the part that bothers the most ? we were born naked ,yes we likely screamed and cried about it. yet someone put a diaper on our butt wrapped up in a blanket and then gave us something to eat .relatively a description of the Resurrection from the grave .......born again ? it is a new start .

if ya dont like the thought of some one being saved from death, then be one of the people handing out robes

maybe you can tell us how the body of Jesus was taken down

hummm ,ya seem to be complaining about the lack of narrative in the scriptures. When you get right down to it there is a whole lot of lacking of narrative in the scriptures. consider the execution of Jesus. Scripture does say after he was dead he was taken down but it does not say how he was taken down. A Layman would say they used ladders and climbed up and pulled out the nails. when in fact it was all stood up it could also be laid down to get the body free. why is that so hard to comprehend ? ya gotta know it was not a one an done thing

How logical does it have to be? clothing buried in the dirt is only going to last a few years . dig up some graveyard of 100 years ago ,ya will find bones ,naked bones . good grief. Jesus will give their life back and ya want to complain because the clothing ya dies in did not make it ? ? don't be worried about it they will be taken care of .

note ,the last to die would be the first to be resurrected . does work with Matthew 19:27-30

i see i get to disagree with the thought of so many going to heaven . really its only the elect that are invited and go to heaven .and that's ok .all others resurrected are here on earth . please consider Matthew 5:5 as I said it would likely be a surprise to realize that its the persons getting resurrected. the ones dying hundreds and even thousands of years back would not have any clothing on . don't be worried i'm sure they will be given some clothing ,something to eat something to drink . note ,the last to die would be the first to be resurrected . Matthew 19:27-30 consider how much teaching there will have to be done . are you ready for that ? almost over whelming

there is a huge mistake people constantly make . They read the book Revelation and they try to understand it as it being literal. after the 1000 years have past they who were of the dead but have by that time could of lived 1000 years . the thought that every one that ever lived would of been resurrected on the same day is ridiculous. It would be utter chaos with millions of naked people not knowing what has happened. That was likely a surprise to here that there would be naked people running around however consider that these people could have been dead for a very long time the clothing would have rotted away

not to throw a wooden shoe into the works (gears) what if it was not a cross that Jesus died on ? I have done a good deal of research into how Jesus was hung up . hang a person on a cross and it can take days for them to die . the cross bar is used to prolong the suffering. Jesus and the other two died in 6 hours . as they were supposed to do according to the law.

why ? consider Revelation 20:5 could be read to mean the dead are all ready living but the next step in there lives are about to get even better. to call them the ''dead'' gives reference from where they came from .they were the dead

I hope its ok to disagree with you . we are told there will be a resurrection of the dead . the thought that it will not happen for 1000 years seems to be in error.

to goto heaven and then told you have to leave ? I think it's not likely

I don't like the word Raptured .ok it means to be taken up .yet the thought of everyone being taken up does not fit . Matthew 5:5 to possess the Earth means some one has to be here to possess it
