1st Thes 5. I had to read verse 4 over and over and over. I finally think I got it. Paul is not saying that BECAUSE we are not in darkness the day that the Lord comes should surprise us, but that for those who ARE IN darkness, the day will come like a thief. I had to read it several times, with emphasis put on different words each time to fully understand what Paul had written. Just last night I was thinking that it would be SO beneficial to mankind if Paul were to be reincarnated and we could hold and interview with him. These are some of the questions I would like to ask him: Can one lose his salvation once he is saved? Precisely what are the requirements for salvation...what must one do, or not do to be saved? Should those who lead churches get paid from God's monies given for the church to redistribute, or should church leaders work a 'regular' job like you did for your livelihood? Did you write the book of Hebrews? Did Jesus have long hair, or short? Why did you say that women should be silent in church? What do you mean by 'a holy kiss'? etc etc etc What about you? Do you have any OTHER questions you might want to ask Paul if he was with us in bodily form today? Reply to this
