First Adam/Second Adam
Gregor:
Perhaps you're referring to the carnal nature and the spiritual nature (Christ in us) at war in our members (the same lump or "heart")??
hillsbororiver:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Bingo Gregor!
Gregor:
Luk 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken (WHERE?), and the other shall be left (WHERE?).
Luk 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken (WHERE?), and the other left (WHERE?).
Luk 17:36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken (WHERE?), and the other left (WHERE?).
37 And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?”
In context, the reference is to "as in the days of the flood". Those that were taken away were those who perished. Those that were left, were those who were saved in the ark. So does this contradict the popular rapture theory that the "good" are raptured leaving the "bad" behind? I see it the complete opposite (correct me if I'm wrong). Isn't it the first Adam that is destroyed and the second Adam (Christ in us) who remains?

Bingo once again!
Joh 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.
1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe

Sorry Gregor I missed this the first time around, no, those on the Ark were taken (above the earth) those who were left became (returned to) the dust of the earth, the new man (in Christ, Christ within) is taken to a higher realm than the old, carnal, earthly man whose flesh (sinful nature) is consumed by the same Fire that his spirit is purified in.
My point in referencing the rapture was that the two in the field actually represents one person, not as rapture proponants teach.
Peace,
Joe
