Great harm has been done through the assimilation of this
teaching (Mt 24 & 1 Thess) into the lives of unwitting christians and
unwitting non-christians. It reflects ultra-poor hermeneutics. But then, there's
nothing new in that.
The above teaching reflects one more area where no amount
of diplomatic engagement would bring about one centimeter of theological
movement. Therefore, I shan't engage on this. Ya won't be cast into 'outer
darkness' for believing it, Dean.

Well said, Dean.
'TRIBULATION PERIOD'? Please tell me that you're not
into that 'rapture hokum' ala LaHaye/Jenkins.
cd: Yes I certainly believe in the
rapture-a time when the Lord will gather his people (1
Thess.4:13-17). Actually the word Rapture is not in the Bible but
being "caught up" is interpretation in the Greek as "rapte" (I think-JD is this true?) which means "seized up" or
snatched up with force,but I do not agree with the time that Tim Lahaye
places (pre-tribulation) the rapture because of the marriage supper of the
lamb isn,t until Rev..19:9 which isn't until much later into the tribulation
period. How do you view 1 Thess.4:13-17 as meaning?

The law of MAN(?)ogamy? It's always been in
place. The problem was, is and, will be the law of WOMANogamy?
Chauvinism, sexism and the like have prevailed, do prevail and, sadly,
will prevail amongst so-called 'believers' of all stripes.
cd: I am of the belief that it will
prevail for the term of the "times of the gentiles"-then they will need
us for survival (Tribulation period)and then calm down as stop saying:"
I am women hear me roar ! ". To be fair polygamy also was a
failure-consider the problems in the bible that arose from that
type of union. David newborn son dies,he loses his kingdom,Absalom
dies,daughter is raped by other son. Joseph brothers from other mothers
kidnap him sell him as slave. Ishmael and Isaac mothers
clash-Ismael/mother is driven into wilderness. Solomon falls into sin
lead by Egyptian women and builds temples to other Gods which are not
torn down for generations later and most likely went to hell. Esau is
outcast by his father and cannot find a place for repentance due to his
multi-wives (daughters of Ishmael)....etc...etc... If the Mormons would
be honest they would give similar records from
SLC.
