Why there is no rapture
Gina:
I could've sworn all that is being spoken of those verses is symbollic.
"The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra," Assuming that the child is very young, why would he want to play over the hole of a cobra? And what if he falls in? :D
"...and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den."
There's no mention of bees here.
v. 19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Just bread? What about meat? How about vegies? And what about fruit? No mention of drinking water or anything and water's pretty hard to come by in certain parts of the world.
It's funny how:
"The earth as we have it now is about 71% water and 29% land..."
And yet that's pretty much the composition of the human body.
It's all symbollic.

Hey Gina - I, like you believe symbolic is right!
Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life, he who comes to Me will not hunger, and He who believes in me will never thirst. John 6:35
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread... Matt 6: 9-13
Jesus is absolutely the *bread* of all mankind!
This is some good discussion and observation!

Hi Gina,
Bread is often used generically as is the word "meat", but bread is made of vegetable matter e.g. ground seeds and oil and yeast if it is whole grain and fresh. Plus for common country folks, flesh for food is a luxury, you don't kill the goat or cow that is giving milk and more calves or the chicken that is giving eggs several times a week. I can live quite well on rolled oats and honey with skim milk and dried raisins or plain unsweetened apple sauce. Scrambled eggs and beans. Sour dough bread and cheese.
Just my two cents worth of useless info.

Joel:
Is everything symbolic, or Spiritualized?
Luke 24:37-39 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Joel

Of course not, Joel. You and I and everything and everyone here is living proof of that. But the verses I'm talking about, those are definitely speaking symbolically. Don't you believe me?
