Never mind the answering. I'll quit on that one. We aren't agreeing on anything it appears. Sorry Frank.
Hi John: The people on this forum that actually read my posts and try to understand them (whether they agree with me or not) know that I have never questioned either "the heavenly hope" or that Jesus would have a Bride of 144,000 persons from the earth adopted as "Sons of God". What I take exception to John is the notion that salvation is synonymous with the heavenly hope that you espouse. It is not true, and it is not a teaching in God's Word the Bible. It is a fabrication of people who have little real understanding of God's Word and is a "feel good" theology. If I am wrong about this John, prove it to me scripturally. I have done my best to inform you, now it's your turn. Take me to school if you can. Now, that may be an eventuality many hundreds of years in the future, but it is not a basic teaching in the Bible. God's Kingdom will be over someone John. If all Christians are in heaven, who is the Kingdom for, the wicked? Frank
