Tell us about that " magical " day, that magical moment god told you what religious group to join.
I bet you remember it like yesterday hey ?
So so Lucky.
Ok go.
Notice in that sentence I am using "will receive on the Last Day". This is in the future tense. The Last Day has not yet occurred.
Notice in that sentence I am using "will receive on the Last Day". This is in the future tense. The Last Day has not yet occurred.Its been over 2000 years now. How do you know the last day/s hasn't already happened and Jesus has come and gone before you were even born?

How do you know the last day/s hasn't already happened and Jesus has come and gone before you were even born?It depends which last days we are talking about.
The last days of the covenant between God and Israel has come and gone. Ad 70 - was the occasion of that time of when the historical temple was destroyed and the sacrifices were abolished.
This accomplished historically what had happened spiritually in Jesus' death on the cross.
The last days of the world however is another occasion - the one which is also often mentioned.
This last one however will not be ushered in until the church has historically grown up and become an adult - mature and spotless in every way.
Given that the church is very much an adolescent. One which is having trouble understanding its identity, it is very unlikely it has occurred.
For the record, I don't think the Last Day of the world - when Jesus returns to judge the world - is the end of the world.
once sin has been dealt with
The imagery we have in Revelation - brings down that division - so that the city of Heaven - will be on earth.
Since we are not currently living in heaven -
Jesus has not yet returned in his fully glory to collect his bride.
The last days of the covenant between God and Israel has come and gone. Ad 70 - was the occasion of that time of when the historical temple was destroyed and the sacrifices were abolished.Do any of the gospel writer confirm this? Do any of them for instance tell us that with the destruction of the temple that this was the end of time or the end of old covenant?
This accomplished historically what had happened spiritually in Jesus' death on the cross.Do you have any biblical evidence to support that, or is this just your own opinion? It appears that Christians have quite a few opinions on why Jesus died on the cross and none are to do with ushering in "old last days" or new ones.
The last days of the world however is another occasion - the one which is also often mentioned." the last days of the world"? And where or who by is it mentioned?
This last one however will not be ushered in until the church has historically grown up and become an adult - mature and spotless in every way.And the bible confirms this does it? Or is this just your own opinion? And what do you mean by "spotless"?
Given that the church is very much an adolescent. One which is having trouble understanding its identity, it is very unlikely it has occurred.Which church?
For the record, I don't think the Last Day of the world - when Jesus returns to judge the world - is the end of the world.Neither do I. Jesus/bible only mentions the "end of the age" which in my own opinion is clearly a term used often in astronomy of which the bible and Jesus makes many references to.
once sin has been dealt withDidn't baptism take care of that. The bible clearly says so. There are no appendages. But then there is the belief that the death of Jesus "washed away the sins of the world" . Is this not true?
The imagery we have in Revelation - brings down that division - so that the city of Heaven - will be on earth.You do know that none of the things that were expected of Jesus as messiah never came to fruition don't you? Not one.
Since we are not currently living in heaven -Define heaven?
Jesus has not yet returned in his fully glory to collect his bride.I agree. Jesus hasn't returned in my time. But then the bible does mention that Jesus was physically "resurrected" from being a three day old corpse as a man 2000 years ago and in his own body:
Jesus appearing to his some of his followers said- " Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself. Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”
And Paul says - "I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable".
So with this in mind and your own opinion that the "last days" started with the destruction of the temple isn't it more likely that your lord Jesus has indeed been and gone and you have missed the bus?
How does one tell and ready thier 7 year old girl about this end of times being only just around the corner ?

Or is this just your own opinion? And what do you mean by "spotless"?Yes. The bible confirms it. You can go and look up the verse or don't you know it?
Given that the church is very much an adolescent. One which is having trouble understanding its identity, it is very unlikely it has occurred.Which church?The church - invisible for want of a better word.

Jesus/bible only mentions the "end of the age" which in my own opinion is clearly a term used often in astronomy of which the bible and Jesus makes many references to.Age / world often used synonomously. Eaon v kosmos.
The imagery we have in Revelation - brings down that division - so that the city of Heaven - will be on earth.You do know that none of the things that were expected of Jesus as messiah never came to fruition don't you? Not one.Well - I obviously have a different position. How about you start by telling me what things were expected of Jesus that you say never came to fruition?

But then the bible does mention that Jesus was physically "resurrected" from being a three day old corpse as a man 2000 years ago and in his own body:Well actually the bible is very clear that Jesus was physically resurrected.
Jesus appearing to his some of his followers said- " Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself. Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.”Where does it say that?
And Paul says - "I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable".So?
So with this in mind and your own opinion that the "last days" started with the destruction of the temple isn't it more likely that your lord Jesus has indeed been and gone and you have missed the bus?Jesus has not returned yet. Nothing you have said - would indicate anything else. Perhaps you should fill in the gaps that you seem to see - but no one else does.
Do you have any biblical evidence to support that, or is this just your own opinion? It appears that Christians have quite a few opinions on why Jesus died on the cross and none are to do with ushering in "old last days" or new ones.I never said it was to usher in the last days.
