    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    And all you do is stand on a fiction with 1 verse about the resurrection and gathering of the saints twisted to a false doctrine of cultic origin, while denying the plain meaning of scripture that contradicts your childish understanding. Am I condescending? You bet I am. Grow up!

    What is meant by Christ coming to "each in his own order."

    Paul devoted an entire passage to the first resurrection in chapter 4 of 1 Thessalonians. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Please do study it in context. Examine the subject as described in the first sentences. Follow simple grammatical rules, and ignore the strong delusion introduced by cultists.

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    Seriously? Have you read the book? 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. Revelation 20:5 How do the dead live again without a second resurrection? It's not rocket science and why identify a first resurrection if there were no other resurrection...

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    None of this has anything to do with the rapture fantasy. It's Tim LaHaye 's fiction.

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    Very imaginative, but absent a sound hermeneutic.

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    This isn't the resurrection, just a carnal interpretation of the down payment of the promises. Scripture is very clear on this. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit...

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    Again, nonsense and fantasy. There is absolutely nothing in scripture that says all flesh will die in the judgment at Christ's return. On the contrary, the scriptures describe men being "as rare as the gold of Ophir " after the judgment and a Gentile population who will be ruled by God and...

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    I'm not assigning or even teaching anything, just addressing obvious disbelief.

    Need help figuring out illness

    It's not unusual for infections in the sinuses to migrate to the lungs. When I was younger I was prone to bronchitis and it frequently began as nasal congestion. You'll probably need a course of something like zythromycin (a z pack). It's a weeks worth of antibiotics and sometimes an additional...

    What is meant by Christ coming to "each in his own order."

    It was presented in first Thessalonians, but the absence of repetition doesn't invalidate the word of God. The Lord frequently repeats Himself because we are by our fallen nature, a sinful and rebellious people. This doctrine isn't essential to salvation, but only reveals a bravery of spirit...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    I understand and appreciate your in the moment view if you consider His return something to worry about, but the entire point of the communion ordinance is to proclaim christ until His return. The resurrection is one of the key elements of the gospel. 9 that if you confess with your mouth the...

    What is meant by Christ coming to "each in his own order."

    What is a futurist? Someone waiting for all scripture to be fulfilled?

    What is meant by Christ coming to "each in his own order."

    But Revelation 20:4-6 confirms the first resurrection, the resurrection of the just, those that perish in Christ, Cleansed by His blood. 4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will...

    What does the Bible say about when Jesus Christ would return?

    That would be because only about half of the Old Testament prophecies about Christ are fulfilled. If he physically fulfilled half of them, why wouldn't He physically fulfill the rest?

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    So someone's going to build a new Babylon after the sky is rolled up like a scroll and a cataclysm displaces all the mountains and islands? In what, 7 years?

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    Jesus is only coming as a thief in the night to those not waiting for His return. The point of His parable is the suddenness of His arrival. People won't be expecting it and will be saying "peace and safety" (under the reign of the Antichrist.) The church was instructed to be watching and waiting.

    Need help figuring out illness

    The lymphocytes create antibodies which attach to invading bacteria or viruses. These antibodies allow phagocytes to engulf them and carry them to lymph nodes. Do you have swollen nodes in your neck? Some infection is still the most likely cause. Some bacterial infections linger a long time and...

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    Only Christians believe that we were saved to minister to the lost. Why do you think God saves people? You do know that the "woes" are trials or "tribulation ", right?

    The Rapture: Too Good to Be True?

    This was written to the Gentile Christian church at Corinth: 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10 I don't read the original languages, but the...
