Just because you don't know what I'm saying doesn't necessariliry mean others don't as well.
It's very likely the case.
The point I was making is simple.
Then try explaining it simply.
When Jesus returns He rewards faithful servants with authority over things.
Yeah, so?
Are we to believe they maintain this authority throughout eternity then, even after 1 Corinthians 15:28 has been fullfilled?
Sure, why not? Is this your argument, that this authority given is temporary? You think this is a strong argument?
What do you think, that 1 Cor 15:24-28 describes the thousand years? No chance of that. Jesus will have delivered the kingdom to the Father at that point, so how could it relate to a thousand year earthly kingdom of Christ on earth?
What would they need authority over at that point?
Scripture simply doesn't tell us much about what things will be like in eternity. That's no reason to assume that there won't be levels of authority at that point. The angels have different levels of authority now, so I imagine it will be similar to that.
Do you dispute that that parable in Luke 19 involves the literal bodily return of Christ in the end of this age?
No. Why would I?
So what if it's a parable? Parables can't involve actual truths, such as the leaving and returning and receiving a kingdom per the parable, that these are actual truths?
Why are you asking me this as if I said that parables can't involve actual truths, which I never said? You're always imagining things for some reason. It's very strange.
That we are to take those events in the literal sense. Otherwise, we might as well all be full Preterists since there is no such as a literal bodily return in the future per that view.
LOL. I have no idea why you're saying these things to me as if I said we can't use parables to help determine the truth of things, which I never did.
BTW, are you making fun out of the way I post by saying no one ever understands what I'm saying?
I'm not saying no one ever understands what you're saying, but I think that is the case fairly often. Surely, not every time you post by any means. But, you sometimes have trouble getting to the point and being clear. You have said as such yourself before, so why be so defensive about it now?
And if you are and everyone else is as well, thus me being the laughing stock around here, I'm through posting on this board then.
Calm down. I'm not saying you're never clear. But, in this case and some other times, you're not. Again, you have said before you are able to communicate better verbally than on here, so that's just the way it is. So, try to be more clear then about what you're saying in this case. And don't act like you are being clear because you're not.
Pretty much every post I make that you address, you can't help laughing out loud about something I said.
It's not just in response to you only. Any time I see someone say something I believe is ridiculous, I respond in that way. If you don't like it then you can either just ignore me or stop saying ridiculous things. It's your choice.
You were obviously being a phony when I knew you over at BibleForums. I don't ever recall you acting in that manner towards others even when you disagreed with them. I suspect the reason is because the Mods would not have let you get away with it if you had.
I'm sure they probably would not have, but I was not being a phony. I was posting according to what was allowed on that forum. If I see something I think is ridiculous then I laugh at it. I like to show how ridiculous things are that people say on here. People are constantly trying to make scripture say what they want it to say and, in my opinion, they deserve to be called out on it and ridiculed when they do that.
