Title: 1Thessalonians 4:17 ???
Post by: Marky Mark on January 20, 2009, 12:46:01 PM

1Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Master in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Master.


   I guess this is a question on the above scripture. We know as Truth seekers that the world takes this verse quite literal,but,being Spiritually minded people here could I presume that this could be defined as a Spiritual gathering(clouds) of the Spirit(air) and not some type of a physical occurrence that all Christan's believe?

      TIA,

Mark

Yeah the literal and dispensation teachings would have you thinking your going to be floating in the sky and that is where you meet Christ. It's quite sensational! :-)~

Thanks for that link Rodger I have read it but need to read again.
I wonder what a spiritual gathering will be like?
Has anyone else wondered, or is it just my small thinking? :)
Sometimes when I am on BT, I think could spiritual be similar no body but lots of personalities of like mind?
Sorry folks I am having a blonde moment.. ;D ;D
