Jesus The false prophet

No Icant he gets an F in honesty. A simple reading of Matt 16 should make it clear to any and all that Jesus viewed the Chruch and kingdom as one and the same. Almost in the same breath he uses the terms interchangably. "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it and to You Peter I will give the keys to the kingdom" In Acts chapter two peter used those figurative keys to show entrance into the kingdom or the church.The Apostles were instructed to go to Jeruselum and wait for Power from on high. This power was demonstrated to them in private, then in public at Pentecost.Therefore logically, if Peter were the only one to hear such a claim, he most definately fulfilled not only the promise of the kingdom, but the implimentatation of its powerFurther if we are going to use the same source (The gospels) for our contention as we do our answer, there is no problem involved in Jesus' words or his claims or his fulfillmentsI sometimes wonder if these fellas that start such threads are actually really interested in whether Jesus was a prophet or liar, or are such threads started just to stir things upFrako, are you really interested in whether he was an actual prophet, do you really care about any such kingdomIn fact what do you care about of a religious nature?Dawn Bertot--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Edited by Dawn Bertot, : No reason given.

"Until"Let me ask you a question, Dr Jaywill.You said at the first resurrection, God will seperate the real christians from the fake ones, correct? And the fake ones will be gathered and burnedAt this same time or at the 1000 year reign, Christ will reunite the still disbelieving Jews to his kingdom.Unless I am misunderstanding "Burn" in that passage, why would disbelieving Jews, even up to the point of the second coming, get a second chance at repentance, but unworthy Christians, be sent immediately to punishment, without a second chance.If I am misunderstanding something or have misinterpreted something I apologizeYou may have stated otherwise somewhere else, or I just did not see itDawn Bertot

You deserve it and command that type of respect By false Christians, you mean, not a child of God at all, correct? Naaaa, I started a response to your above statement, but thought it not important enough to distract from your present course.We as brothers are in about 99.99999% harmony on any doctrinal issues and thats all that mattersheck, we are brothers in Christ and that is what is really mattersI always await with anticipation your next post in any thread, its like a big meal at the Golden Corral. A spiritual fillupthanks for your dedication and knowledgeDawn BertotEdited by Dawn Bertot, : No reason given.

I did not realize things could or would deteriate to that point. Would you consider that something as een happening at present?Dawn Bertot
