I suggest studying that passage more and having a little more humility, as there is at least one other solid understanding of that passage which has nothing to do with a rapture, as it’s based on a cultural context.
You really shouldn’t try and play this game with me. Let’s look more closely at your claims in the above quote.
You first stated HERE:
‘Christ pointed to "these my brethren", which proves they were seated with Christ judging the Sheep and Goats:
"And the King will answer and say to them,`Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' (Matt. 25:40 NKJ)’
I responded with these “two” questions HERE:
‘Where, exactly, does it say that these believers "were seated with Christ judging the Sheep and Goats"? Where is that in the context?‘
And then added additional context to consider:
‘Mat 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
Mat 25:32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. (ESV)
First, Jesus "will sit on his glorious throne." It is the only throne mentioned in the passage and he is the only one said to be sitting on that throne. Second, "he will separate people one from another . . . the sheep from the goats." The sheep are the believers. So, there are believers of all sorts before him. Those to whom he is referring are those believers who helped the "the least of" the believers, showing the mercy, kindness, and compassion that he showed.’
And repeated my question:
‘Again, where in Matt 25:31-46 is it stated that there are believers either seated with Jesus on his throne or seated alongside him on their own thrones?’
You responded HERE, but notice the three things you did:
‘If you ignore the scriptures I cite, there is no point to our conversation. I cited the precise text where Christ POINTS to people with Him, and says "these my brethren"
"And the King will answer and say to them,`Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' (Matt. 25:40 NKJ)
Christians are Christ's brethren:’
First, you claimed I ignored the scripture you posted, when in that very post, you quoted my clear response to that scripture. So, you falsely said I ignored the scripture you posted. That’s issue one.
Second, you initially said ‘Christ pointed to "these my brethren", which proves they were seated with Christ judging the Sheep and Goats.’ So, I asked, ‘where in Matt 25:31-46 is it stated that there are believers either seated with Jesus on his throne or seated alongside him on their own thrones?’ However, instead of answering, you purposely imply that I was asking something different by saying ‘I cited the precise text where Christ POINTS to people with Him, and says "these my brethren".’ I suspect you did that to make it (deceptively) appear that you are answering what I asked. And you still haven’t answered that question despite me repeatedly pointing that out. That’s issue two.
Third, implied in your response is the question you have since kept repeating, despite me saying I have answered it and even have you two posts in which I show that I did. The question you have taken to repeating, in red and increasingly larger font size, is, ‘So was Jesus mistaken when He said "these my brethren", the brethren weren't there?‘. However, in my post #30, which I quote above and which you quoted when you falsely said I didn’t reply to your scripture, I stated that ‘The sheep are the believers. So, there are believers of all sorts before him. Those to whom he is referring are those believers who helped the "the least of" the believers, showing the mercy, kindness, and compassion that he showed.’ Not reading my response and seeing that I already addressed your question, is issue three. Of course, your question is based on your deceptive change in what I was asking, as shown in issue two.
So, have I evaded anything? Not at all; I have clearly addressed everything. Have you addressed everything? No, because you purposely made it look like I was asking something I wasn’t. And that was after falsely accusing me of ignoring the scripture you posted. You then followed all that up with repeatedly asking a question, which I repeatedly stated I answered, and even gave the post references.
Basically, you said I was ignoring context, but when I asked you about what you had stated was in the context, namely, that ‘Christ pointed to "these my brethren", which proves they were seated with Christ judging the Sheep and Goats,’ was when you deceptively changed what I was asking. And so here we are.
