Believing in Jesus is more than just believing in the person of Jesus Christ. Believing in Jesus is believing in everything He taught, said, and did. If we are not obeying Jesus or seeking to follow Him then we are not really believing Jesus. Hebrews 11 defines faith as both a belief...

1 Corinthians 15:52 - trumpet sounds. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 - trumpet of God. 1 Corinthians 15:52 - dead shall be raised 1 Thessalonians 4:16 - dead in Christ shall rise. If 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 was describing the commonly understood flesh and blood resurrection then it would not be a mystery...

Not at all. They are not being resurrected from the dead to life so as to have a flesh and blood body. Paul says, “It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:44). Then Paul says, “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50). Paul...

I explained what I did. Your just not getting it. That’s okay. The Lord will reveal all things in time. Moving on beyond my discussion with you on this topic. May the Lord’s peace and goodness shine upon you greatly.

Have you not read about King David losing his son because of his sins? The deeper reason his child was taken was because it gave an occasion for the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme (See: 2 Samuel 12:13-15). So his sins had a consequence upon his own child by God intervening Himself...

Again, I just read this verse and believe it. 1 Corinthians 15:52 “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” It talks about how we will be raised and changed in the same event...

I don’t agree with your odd interpretations. I also have already made my case with Scripture. I am not going to beat this dead horse with you continually. If you don’t agree, we can agree to disagree in love and respect. May God bless you.

It sounds like all one event. They are being changed as they are taken up is how it reads to me. But we can agree to disagree (of course).

This is all people want to hear these days. But the gospel is more. The gospel also includes 1 Corinthians 15:10.

My point about being born again is the same in relation to Original Sin. We die physically because of Adam’s sin. We are made alive spiritually by Christ. The same is true with regards to our physical birth and our spiritual birth. One is natural and the other is spiritual. Ezekiel 18 is...

To all: People don’t like to see the fact that they are sinners or bad in some way. This is why I believe that they cannot accept those verses in the Bible on this topic. They cannot reconcile the verses in their thinking. But God does not call us to believe what we wish. We have to believe...

There are things in the Bible that I call exceptions to the rule. We see this with the Canaanite woman and Jesus (Matthew 15:21-28). She wanted her daughter to be healed of demon possession. But Jesus said, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” The thing is that she...

I used to believe the gospel could only be 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. But recently when I was reading 1 Corinthians 15, I did not see an end in Paul’s line of thinking on the gospel until verse 10 (with a concluding summary thought with verse 11). There is no break in his thinking In starting another...

Isaiah 55:8 says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” I strive to just read the Bible and believe it In what it says and I don’t try to rely on my own thinking that would contradict what the Word plainly says. I would encourage you to simply...

The poster of this thread said (at the opening of this thread) that she would not read any boxing matches (i.e. debates on this topic). So I replied mainly to her and to those in whom have ears to hear. Why would I preach something to one who is closed minded on a topic that is not as...

The problem with saying we are innocent at birth is that it denies our need for a Savior. To say that man can be good on his own without Christ denies the need for a Savior.

To all: Think about it like this. If man was created innocent and pure then by all respects there should be at least one man who existed (Who is not God incarnate) who would be able to not sin and do evil. Remember, Jesus said a good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot...

Yes, this is in reference to physical death. Babies can potentially die physically or they will one day die when they grow old as an adult. If babies were innocent, then death would not come upon them. So this does not help you. For the wages of sin is death. Babies in your view did not sin...

It is not an elephant in the room. Adam was influenced by his wife (Eve) to sin, and Eve was influenced by the serpent to sin. This influence is similar to our having a sin nature. So we were on the same playing field but in a different way. I am not saying that one cannot sin with having a...

Not here to debate you. I am only here to share. I have my reasons in Scripture for believing the way I do. In other words, I don’t debate Eschatology. Most Christians need to know first about salvation and sin these days (When they really do not understand such topics). So to debate the End...
