» The Israel of God.

Most Christians have been taught the true “Israel of God” is comprised of all biological descendants of Abraham only. However I believe God’s word teaches that “true Israel” has always been a (willing obedient spiritual group of people) in a covenant relationship with God form various nationalities, not just an exclusive biological group.

» Why and What Did Jesus Write in the Dust?

To quote a friend of mine, "there is a rock solid reason for every word in the scri pture. None of it is there without a purpose."

The idea of silence after AD 70 standing as a basis for a literal rapture cannot stand in the light of the expectations of the apostles.
