Peace, David! You DO have a point, eh??? *smile*
Philippians 4: 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........
You guys have nice and valid points. I was over there (FaithLife) and could not post an interesting letter from a friend.
I was talking to my friend about 1 John 2:1-2. Basically it's about "believers" repenting in prayer to Christ. He sent me a letter and I wasn't sure how to answer it. I don't think it has anything to do with theology-but its a mind cruncher.
Here's the letter:

“Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.””
(John 13:3–10, NRSV)

I think you've been around long enough to know that such a post is really out of line.
This is not a debating forum.
What are you trying to accomplish by upsetting others who are trying to use Logos Bible Software to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ???

Thank you for your cooperation. Enjoy discussing and learning about Logos Bible Software.
Thanks for the reply and answer. I will go over my commentaries to get a fuller understanding.
Thanks Again.
Thanks Milford for our reply.
I thought that the Post was harmless. I think I was just trying to find an answer to give to my friend so that we both can grow in Christ.
However, Peace. And I will repent.
Phil,
Thanks for your post. I will make a copy and place it on my cork board-that way I will not forget.
Peace also to you..
Oh, man...there is so much I want to say about this. But I'll limit myself here because of forum rules.
Daniel Presley:BTW, The word RAPTURE "harpazo" in the greek never gives any inclination of direction (up), but simply means "to be seized, taken hold of, taken advantage of,.. see Theological dictionary of the new testament & New international Dictionary of N.T. Theology. If "UP" was implied, then the Greek prefix/preposition "ana" or possibly (unlikely) "ek" would be used with "harpazo" to give it direction, but they are not used.
I say just this one thing. If I am standing on the ground, where are the clouds?
To Daniel and Josh! *smile* Thanks to both of you for your attitude!
... and your forbearance!
The Logos Forums are so very important to so many people and are so very helpful in so many respects.
Of course we all have strong and passionate feelings about many things, and it's hard to be always "cool," eh???
May God help us show His Love to one another! *smile*
Peace!

Ok Jerome, I will take a look at Prop 70. Once again, I will be looking for solid Biblical proof of the assertion. I did not find it for Prop 58.
As far as the parables and the Kingdom, James Stuart Russels "Parousia" (not available on Logos) is the best I have read, and I have read a lot.
Josh:I say just this one thing. If I am standing on the ground, where are the clouds?
Surely that would depend on how you define "ground" - if you were standing on the top of a mountain then they would more than likely be below you

Perhaps, if you were in the Himalayas.

Thank you, John, for your willingness to further pursue your study of Peters. I trust that in the long run it will prove rewarding.
