Does not your religion advocate separation, which creates division among people?
If so, then you fall into the ninety-nine percent category that lacks brotherly love.

In other words: Jesus didn't write the gospels. THE GOSPELS WROTE JESUS!
I LOVE that part in bold.

RESPONSE:

Yes. Thank you. I base my statements on the facts described by the plain meaning of words (including the plain meaning of numbers of things), as in the singular "it" and the plural "them". In this way I find I can avoid error and self-deception.

Perhaps some others' belief systems will not allow them to use that precision.

As Wikipedia summarizes:

Rationalism holds that truth should be determined by reason and factual analysis, rather than faith, dogma, tradition or religious teaching.

Fideism
holds that faith is necessary, and that beliefs may be held without any evidence or reason and even in conflict with evidence and reason.

God is not the Author of confusion and the Holy Spirit of a "born again" person does the interpreting-so says God.
Your problem is you like to take what God says plainly and twist it into a reflection of what is being said and that's wrong. You can't interpret what you can't understand to begin with according to God. ~your empty and are filled with reflections of truth. You have to understand reflections are not real <period.

Yes, Jer the JW's advocate separation, as do most of the "exclusivist" belief systems. Apparently, they don't really know what brotherhood and agape love means. ::Sigh:: It will take more time for them to realize the error of their ways.

Just to be clear...The Promise of His Coming dwells in me...you know..."Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" Philippians 1:6 KJV

However, I've noticed one thing about every one posting on this thread, as well as most of the other Christian threads...the posts' are presented from the view that we're living on an oblate spheroid.
Tell me...how do you suppose that every eye will behold the Son of man at the same time if we're living on a ball rotating on it's axis @ roughly a 1000 mph hurtling through space around Sol @ roughly 67,000 mph.

Since I can only take God at His Word, and I am one who does...then the only way every eye can see the Son of man fulfilling The Promise of His coming at the same time is if we're living on a vast, round, flat plane. Earth, according to God's word is not a "planet" or "wandering star."

Perhaps, the eye relates to something beyond mere perception?

When Paul saw Jesus he said he didn't know if he was literally there are not. Jesus divided Paul in soul and spirit and he had just stepped into Paul, there was no place to hide.


There is only one spirit and it's coming shows how it happens in the harvest. Passover is when your waters will be divided to expose the hidden chambers of your heart. The fruit harvest happens at the gleaning of the grapes and you have a vat in you that when the Lord comes, he will step inside you and crush the grapes.


People will cry out because nothing will be able to hide them from the face of the king, and everyone who has every lived will stand upon the earth in a single moment in a single spirit. You will either be clothed so that nobody else sees your nakedness or you will be hidden because you have made your garment.


Not only will there be no place to hide from God, there will be no place to hide from anyone if you are naked.
