I guess you get what you need. All I can say is that I asked God for understanding. I will change my views as the evidence clarifies.<br /><br />I refer you back to the opening statements where I say that it's prudent to be aware of all the possibilities. Believing a prophetic interpretation is not a salvation issue, but it has been foundational for me to establish faith, and faith is a salvation issue.<br /><br />If God did lead me to these conclusions, then I have done very little in passing it on; however, I'm sharing my personal study on the subject, and at least it can serve as an example for others to conduct their own investigations; and maybe encouragement to not just buy what's being sold because "it must be true because everyone, or my group, says it is." No more 'emperors new clothes' beliefs.<br /><br />No more following after a man. There is no one standing between any one of us and Jesus.Luchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03711073897831398677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528158760608808912.post-89240266065110247212010-03-23T11:27:49.202-04:002010-03-23T11:27:49.202-04:00You deserve to be praised for this series, Luc.
I...You deserve to be praised for this series, Luc.<br /><br />I'm not going to go so far as to say that I completely agree. I'm not saying I disagree, either. I'm withholding judgment until a later date. So please forgive me for that. I've been burned by prophecy before.<br /><br />But that's why I'm saying you deserve to be praised for this.<br />You are giving a cogent, well structured, researched alternative to the boiler plate Armstrongist interpretation. I don't need to say "I believe all you have said," in order to say, "what you have said is a good thing."<br /><br />God bless you for standing out from the crowd and honestly taking a second look. God bless you for doing as the Bereans did. Then you've given that, free of charge, to all of us - asking nothing in return. Well done!xHWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061716053302210598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5528158760608808912.post-90318520578185214762010-03-22T14:29:29.509-04:002010-03-22T14:29:29.509-04:00It looks good again from here, Luc.

Quite frankly, I'm leery of any interpretation that comes from Armstrongism. <br />According to HWA, Christ was supposed to return in 1936. I pretty sure that's an indicator that he didn't know what he was talking about.xHWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061716053302210598noreply@blogger.com
