There's an eternal lesson to be learned on what Jesus was making a comparison to. When you ponder Mt 18: 2-4 it makes very good sense about faith and trust. A child inherently has faith, trust and security in his father and believes everything he says. Generally a child is humble and obedient until the point the child gets to questioning his fathers wisdom and starts making bad decisions on his or her own. That's how I interpret the verses meaning anyway. Me too Dennis. Well said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew chapter 24 verse 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. You do not believe in a rapture of the Christian population then ?

A botanist bathes, worrying about spoors in the water. A biologist bathes, thinking of what diseases may be present. An existentialist bathes, and cannot feel the water. A kid bathes and has FUN SPLASHING. You question is a little too small and restrictive. Why not ask for the code of the particulate matter locked in the materials and the numbers for the trace elements found on the parchment and ink. I think sometimes we try to darn God's socks, not being aware that He never wore them. As the apostle said, (paraphrased). Hey dude; look around you; see that wonder of it all; that is God! He is self evident in all His Creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course .... Yet another example of the pre-tribulationist view being completely congruent with God's Word being fulfilled during the tribulation as stated , face value , without qualification . The Word alone will bring forth the "elect " during the tribulation. No assistance from super - duper Christians required. No interpretive interjection of super-duper Christians needed . Only the Word . His Word will never " pass away " period , and will always be in full saving effect , unto the uttermost . God's eternal Word alone is able to bring forth the " elect " Jews from Israel during this tribulation period , as it will never " pass away " . Not even with every Christian gone from the planet . Whereas the post-tribulationist view requires the ad-hoc modification that presence of believers will be needed by God , to lend God assistance in bringing forth the " elect " from the nation Israel . God not being able to go it alone during the tribulation the post-tribulationist would have you believe . " John did no miracle ."
