I have questions for all chronological scholars:
Do you really think it is necessary to know exact years what happened and when?
So many groups and organizations come up with different ideas. What are laypeople supposed to do about who one to follow?
Jesus says no one knows when Jesus comes back. Why did Jesus gave this warning if He wanted us to know when? |
Howcome no one is responding to this post at Donald's forum?

Greetings Hitomi,
I can't speak for any one else, but why I did not reply there, is because I do not wish to get into another debate with Alexander.
I will give you my take on your question....I had, in the past, been of the view that it was very important to try to work out exactly chronology. Now I only look at it as a guide, & concentrate on building up my faith in the Lord, & drawing as close to our Father in heaven as I can.
If we, as christians can build a close relationship with God/Yahweh, when the end comes, is of no importance, as we are already in a "saved condition."
I was previously worried that I may be found unprepared, at the last trumpet blast, but not any longer, I now have peace, knowing that my future is sealed.
I hope this helps.

thanks Ion,
If you dont care so much about the chronology, why do you argue so much about it?
I personally dont believe it is important when and what is happening. I just serve God on daily bases and I am ready to meet the Lord any time. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord |

As I said in my reply to you, "anymore." No more debates with Alexander.
If you check out my last few replies to him, you will understand what I mean.
I believe now that his intention for being on any forums, is to push HIS views only, & like the JW's, regards all others as not able to understand the scriptures without HIS help.
He has told me in private emails, that HE is THE teacher, & will not be taught or corrected by any one else. This arrogance is clearly displayed by his replies on most topics if he is challenged to prove from the scriptures what he says. I now believe there is very little point in wasting my time & energy in responses to his discussions.
As you will see, my last reply to him, was a scriptural rebuke.

It seems all denominations and organizations are into chronology and they all come up with different dates and ideas. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord |

so do I, but I want the truth and we have no way to know the truth.
I just wait Jesus' return and lean from Him directly instead of man's speculations. _________________ YHWH is my God and Jesus is my Lord |
