Standing on the outside and viewing these discussions, I can't help but ask myself the question. With so many well meaning individuals looking into these scriptures and yet arriving at different conclusions? What is missing? I see a great deal of confusion. What is missing? What is missing? Deference to the Spirit of truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has this knowledge? My best answer... 2 Peter 1:20 (KJV) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. Edit: Or I should say the Lord's answer.

Instead the Truth is divided amongst us that we will come together in Unity of the Spirit, In Humility and fulness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the picture is incomplete without others contributing their piece of the Puzzle. this is the fellowship of the saints.

That continued on downward through the early church fathers and to today. Today we're getting a birds eye view and better understanding seeing it come about.

This doesn't square up with the point regarding different members have some pieces and are energetic when defending them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lord and His Spirit are quite capable of making things clear to His sons. Right? 1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV) For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. I take this verse to mean or imply; we will not know everything for sure until the Lord reveals it in His timing. But for now, we will only see portions, shadows and glimpses of the whole picture. Just my view. The Lord allowed Paul to reveal a couple of hidden mysteries. The Lord did not allow Paul to reveal what he seen and heard in Heaven. It will remain somewhat hidden util the Lord's perfect timing IMHO. Edited November 12, 2019 by Dennis1209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
