Before one jot or tittle of the so called 'new testament' was ever placed upon plant fibers, or animal skins. Christ declared the following:
Mark 13:20 - 23
20And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
21And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
The so called 'New Testament' can be found all through the 'so called' Old Testament, and there is no conflict. Christ declared He had 'foretold all things'... before these so called early 'fathers' ever recorded a letter.
Paul explains in I Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Wow, Have not seen a discussion here on FR get this heated since you guys crucified a double pair of JWs and Mormons together. No wonder our numbers are dwindling.
And from a group who is supposed to be United in the common cause of Liberty. Agreements not arguments would be more in order for furthering the common cause, ( I would call it a “crusade”, might give some of those present the wrong idea re: unification in our desire).
Find common ground, and act like grown ups.
