I think that we find the answer to this question in some Old Testament imagery. When the children of Israel first thirsted during their wilderness journeys, God instructed Moses to smite the rock, which we know was a type of Christ (1 Cor. 10:4), to satisfy their thirst. Similarly, our initial...

Again, I get what you are saying, and I agree almost entirely. My sole objection would be this: Instead of saying, "Be who we are, not who we were," I would say, "Be who we are capable of being (by truly abiding in Christ), not who we were." Other than that, which might just be semantics, we...

Hey, marks. I get the distinction that you are seeking to make, but, quite frankly, it seems like you are proving my own intended point while simultaneously disproving your own. How so? Well, for example, the Sun is the natural "light of the world," but nobody needs to prescriptively instruct...

Hey, Marks. When Jesus spoke those words, his audience was not only Israelites/Jews. Instead, we know, of a certainty, that people from Decapolis, which means "ten cities," were there as well, and many of them were Gentiles. "And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and...

Amen, but I wish that you had posted a fuller version of this. Proverbs 27 [5] Open rebuke is better than secret love. [6] Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. If we truly love people, then we are more than likely going to need to openly rebuke them...

Hey, Shane. I hear you, and, knowing a little bit about you, I believe that your heart is in the right place. Although I do not believe that you are wrong for boldly defending the gospel, I would like to just clarify a thing or two. For starters, The Great Commission, as it is commonly called...

Hi, Kabone. Actually, that is not what they asked him. Instead, this is what they asked him: "At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" (Mat. 18:1) The first thing that we need to understand is that the terms "kingdom of heaven" and...

You need a lot of help. Just because you are ignorant in relation to the topic, it does not mean that God ordained for the rest of us to be ignorant in relation to it as well.

The Vatican/the Papacy is Daniel’s “little horn” (Daniel 7:8) or “little kingdom." In Bible prophecy, a "horn" is representative of a "king" and his "kingdom." For example, we read: "And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and...

Wow. Studying a biblical topic is "a meaningless, time-wasting rabbit hole to nowhere?" It seems to me that you are way too much into yourself, and not nearly enough into scripture.

According to scripture (as opposed to human reasoning), Israel has been attacked by foreign nations many times throughout its history, and a lot of those times, it was God himself who stirred up enemies against her. For example, God sent the king of Assyria against her 10 northern tribes, and...

Job personified death and destruction, too. Job 28:22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word that was translated into English here as "destruction" is "'ăḇadôn."...

Deluded people ought not be using laughing emojis. If you honestly believe that ANYBODY is going be enjoying the marriage supper of the Lamb in heaven, then you have no clue whatsoever. Jesus will remain seated at the Father's right hand in heaven, from where he intercedes for the saints while...

Nope. Instead, it sounds as if you need to reread your Bible, but with the Holy Ghost's assistance this time. Sad to say, you even have the whole "left behind" thing backwards. Here, try this on for size: Two complete charlatans, Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins (his son, Dallas, who is the...

Nope. The rapture and Jesus' return to earth both occur at the same exact time, and nobody will be raptured to heaven at that time...at least not to "the third heaven." "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot...

Amen.

To be with the Lord where? In heaven or on earth? Nowhere does the Bible say that Christians have not been appointed to Satan's wrath. In fact, it clearly indicates that Christians have been appointed to his wrath. Also, Christians will still be here on earth as the wrath of God is being poured...

Exactly. It's good to see that somebody here knows how to rightly divide the word of God.

May I ask where you believe people will be raptured to and when you believe it will occur?

Honestly, I feel a bit awkward with that because my username pertains to Jesus Christ, and not to me. I prefer to draw attention to him, and not to myself.
