Posted by Joyce on 3/25/2007, 11:56 am, in reply to "Re: His Appearing and His Coming" I won't bother you again with this. But I did want to point out two things. 1) In this message you are saying in effect that Christ will appear (epipheneia) two times, once at His parousia and another time that is never mentioned in the Word of God. And this is based on the fact that "parousia' is not used in the prison epistles. 2) In your last message you said that II Cor. 15 was a unversal truth but the fact that "parousia" is used makes it a dispensational truth. In other words, you have a contradiction here. I will suggest one more time that you consider the possiblity that the five Greek words used in connection with His coming are not used to denote a different time, but are used to describe 5 different aspects of what is in my opinion, the most important event since the resurrection of Christ, i.e. His second coming. In Him,
