Here we go again.. Bob the antichrist, or instead of christ. As if he’s knows better than Paul and John. The workers do huh! That's such garbage, Bob is no such thing, understand what you are reading because what you just said is rediculous. |

I think we’re using the word stage or staging in different ways. You’re using it in the sense of theatre; I’m using it in the sense of succession. That is to say, both John and Paul depict the reception of this world into heaven in stages. Through the years you’ve demonstrated yourself willing to entertain Jesus in terms of a myth. Whereas I venerate the man himself, and recognize him as being the literal leader of our world to come. Impossible, that man if real, is dead. |

Just happened to see this striking thread title as I went scrolling by.
I think that the idea is that we are all significantly disobedient (for all have come short ...), which is why redemption is the palliative it is.

I don't understand the notion that this world is being received into heaven in stages. I entertain such things as you mention the say way as I entertain your thoughts in this discussion. The entertainer is not the buyer. Went over my head |

Paul and John could very possibly known that Jesus' coming was another telling of a previous such advent. It's fundamental to an understanding of the "christs" of world history. I suspect Paul and John didn't know anything at all about Lee's Christ.... They were adamant a resurrection of the saints would coincide with Christs return. Being resurrected meant being glorified in terms of wisdom, action, and power. Being resurrected also meant being united with those who had had a critical relationship and connection with God while they were still living, the Christos, and and His power. Popular Christianity, including the 2x2, has tended to define the resurrection in contrast to a negative: not going to hell. It’s less than one half of the actual gospel. |

That is my worldview. |

The jokes on you. You can look forward to telling Jesus why you felt “smug as a bug in a rug” while the demons were directing our world.
