HOW CAN YOU?
The New Testament consists of gospels, Acts, Revelation and letters to churches in the early first century. Was it written to them in the first century, or to you and I today? One cannot fully understand intent without recognizing who was speaking to whom, when and where they were.
How can you not ask:
Who is "You"?"
Who is "We"?
Who is "Us"?
When is "Now"?
How can you
interpret the word "you" to mean yourself?
Interpret the word "we" to mean ourselves today?
Interpret the word "us" to mean ourselves today?
Interpret the word "now" to mean your present time?
How can you not ask
End? End of what?
How can you
believe in Telescopic Time Compression?
How can you
believe in Dual Fulfillment?
How can you
read into Biblical text 2000+ year time gaps?
How can you
believe a future temple will be built in Jerusalem
with no Biblical reference?
How can you
understand intent
without considering place and date,
and without an attempt to see through the eyes and ears
of those who spoke
so very long long ago?
How can you
not believe Jesus, John, Paul and Timothy,
when they tell you when the End Time would be?
How can you
believe the time of the end they gave couldn't be?
How can you
believe the end has been near for two thousand years?
How can you
believe the world is coming to an end
and then
interpret the Bible to make it so?
