    The First Resurrection

    Hoping always to maintain the possibilities of being wrong here.... "It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner. This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fancifull men who are frequently predicting the time of...

    The First Resurrection

    I would say pre-trib... 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and...

    The First Resurrection

    I consider myself Pentecostal Holiness / Baptist. In which there is a great many in my parts. I thought that every Christian believed in the rapture before posting on web sites. I would say that most Christians don't take much thought on the hereafter. The average Christian's church...

    Biblical justification for harming or killing followers of Jesus

    Why do you want to continue to talk about this topic? Only a few percentage of Christians have actually killed people. You act as though it is the whole show.

    Actually Jesus returns twice...

    I did not know we referenced the same passages until I looked at the OP. Also noting the second passage speaks of holiness. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign...

    Church – Same doctrine – Different feel

    There is nothing about doctrine here.. 22 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the...

    Spiritual warfare... I am trying to get a grip on what has changed after Covid. 1. Church - Many people stopped going to church 2. Thinking – They try to come up with an intelligent explanation to justify why 3. Emotions – They get upset with you for disagreeing with them My company hired a...
