What is Emory's explanation then for the witness and explanantion of the angels to the disciples at Christ's ascension after He was resurrected as recorded in Acts 1:9-11.
9. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

10. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold two men stood by them in white apparel;

11. Which also said, Ye men of Galillee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

If Jesus, John, and others who spoke of His return were liars, then I guess we can't believe other vital doctrines in the Bible, such as salvation, repentance, etc.

A slippery slope. How can Mr. Sprague pick-and-chose doctrines at will?

As long as we have the written Scriptures, the Word of
God, in the hands of just plain down to earth people
instead of it being held captive by "religious elite
hierarchy", we are safe. Thank God for it and for Truth
being in the hands of the masses if they'll only read it.
We need it in order to avoid wolves in sheeps' clothing.
