Alright, I'll try to deal with this in the format given...

You're saying the folks you reference were not sinners...never sinned....ever. They were not in need of offering a sacrifice for their sins.....ever??

Straw man. Go back and read what I wrote. If you truly don't understand it, let me know and I'll try to explain it better.

Does this preclude God from removing someone from earth if He choses? No.

Why then do you limit God in dealing with others of His people? Think about it.

We believe in the rapture and when that happens we will be snatched up, so none will die in that instance.

And yet, in Scripture, ALL die. You haven't yet dealt with this dichotomy. Besides, you lambast the Church for "making up" doctrine... care to remind the class when the doctrine of the rapture was invented?

The concept that there may be some who don't committ personal sins is a new one to me and not a concept I've found in the Bible outside of Christ.

And that is what matters in the Kingdom of God... you finding it in the Bible. You have missed some very important things because you immediately discount some truths simply because of who promulgated those truths. Open your eyes! See what the Church Christ gave us has taught us (1 Tim 3:15)! If you only read the Bible, you will know wisdom, yes... but you will have missed out on the last 2000 years of revelations by the Holy Spirit. He has not been silent all this time.

I’ve read the Bible.

I have...we only have the two instances as noted in the Bible.

You’re saying the folks you reference were not sinners...never sinned....ever. They were not in need of offering a sacrifice for their sins.....ever??

Straw man. Go back and read what I wrote. If you truly don’t understand it, let me know and I’ll try to explain it better.

Nope...no straw man. Taking what you said and trying to understand it because your points don’t line up with Scripture.
