-Removed-I'm not protecting my precious personal doctrine anything, let along the eternal
suffering doctrine. I'm just accepting the Word as written, not attempting to alter it
to suit me just because I don't like what is written. As I have pointed out to you
and others here, truth isn't going to alter itself to suit me, if there are things about
scripture I don't like, I don't get to say, "well I don't like this, but I like that" so now
that which is written is subject to what I like. Reality doesn't bend to suit us, the
only thing that does that is our opinions, we have to adjust ourselves to suit it.
@proper-knob saidWhich one you referring to, I cannot think of any I would say wasn’t literal?
@KellyJay
God's trumpet Kelly, is that literal or metaphorical?
@KellyJay
There are numerous verses relating to Gods trumpet. This being one of them -
1 Thessalonians 4:16 New International Version (NIV)
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

@proper-knob saidYou are talking about God who created everything and holds it all together by the power of His Word. So I would say where ever He wants.
Where does a spirit keep a trumpet?
@proper-knob saidAccording to scripture this natural world comes from the spiritual, God. If you are looking for a weakness in Him there will not be any. He designed our lungs I am sure whatever is required to accomplish His will, will be done.
How does a spirit blow down a trumpet? Surely one would need a pair of lungs?
