Nobody told me to go to Jerusalem to be saved. If I am here to see the completed temple, and a false on sits there, I will still have my faith in Jesus. How does any of this fit in with me believing in a rapture of the church before God's wrath come to the planet?

Wow. This is a tough topic for me. I suppose if you truly want answers about the questions you posted, you need to ask a Roman Catholic, and I am not one. Now as for myself, I can say it is not for me. I pray differently and I know Jesus to be my mediator. I do sometimes recite the Our...

2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 He will punish those who do not know God, and who don obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of Lord and and from the majesty of His power on the day He comes to be glorified in His holy people...

I am not completely positive on this but I believe the tradition is to have the saints pray for you, or to act as intercessors. Also the attempt is to have them some how guide you in prayer also. This still seems baffling to me as in the HolySpirit we have the best guide possible, and in Jesus...

You know that sure sounds pretty, and I hope for their sake (the wicked) you are correct. The issue I have is to get your view you have to read into scripture. To get my view you only have to read it. :mellow: When I approach the scriptures, I read them like a child would. I accept what they...

John 10:29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. Matthew 6:34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. I am not captured by a spirit of fear...

Matthew 5:44-45 “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. This says something much different...

I don't have much time now, but I tend to believe as Lively Stone here. Truly I want to be delivered from evil, and truly I love God, and without a doubt I fear Him. We know this coincides with Jesus by the gift of the "Our Father" prayer. God is a just and holy Savior. If you remember from...

I like this alphabet analogy. I think a positive aspect for forums like this is because we don't know the entire truth. As others learn different aspects, we can share thereby building strength in the church.

This is the path of Darwinism and atheism. See the movie "Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed" to understand what I mean. Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed | Watch Free Documentary Online topdocumentaryfilms.com/expelled-no-intelligence-allowed/

2 Thessalonians 1:9 Paul speaks of everlasting destruction along with separation. Are these maybe destined for eternal reincarnation? Revelation 20:10 John speaks of eternal torment for the beast, false prophet, and the devil. Revelation 20:14-15 Those not written in the book of life are...

Let God and the scriptures be my witness. The Lord rebuke you for your false witness against me. To be quite sure, all the bowls contain God's wrath. Scripturally sound doctrine. Revelation 16:1 We are not destined for wrath. Scripturally sound doctrine. 1 Thessalonians 1:10 The angels are...

What happens to the damned?

What you posted above completely agrees with the church being raptured before the coming of the Son of man. Matthew and Mark speak of the gathering of the elect, which is described in Revelation 7:1-8. And the gathering of those in the uttermost part of heaven. Revelation 7:9-14 I suppose the...

Veteran, Quoted from you here. That's how it was presented, and how John wrote it down. But we well know the 6th Seal events include Christ having appeared, which is why... those seek to hide from Him in the cleft of the rocks and desire the hills and mountains to fall on them; it's because of...

It is known there is one body, where as Jesus is the head, and His head is God. God is Spirit. (Father) The HolySpirit is Spirit. Jesus Christ is flesh and bone. (Son) We as believers are brought into this body, as living stones, to create a Holy Temple, where Jesus Christ is the capstone and...

The triune God can be explained this way by a Christian. We believe in one God, in three persons, all equal. They are the same in nature, essence, and substance. They are different in person and office. Genesis 1:26-27 The us and our is undeniable. Matthew 3:16-17 Here there is Jesus...

If you are non Catholic, you can be refused communion. This is a long standing practice of the Catholic church. It is stated that it is up to the priest, but even those who are in catechism are required to abstain until they complete the course. As a protestant in a Catholic school I was not...

Michael, I just wanted to know if you were aware of the persecution of the church in the middle east, africa, asia and other places. I felt it relevant to mention this in response to what you were attempting to convey in reference to a perfect church and suffering. Yes much of the west is...

Michael, I like they way you coin the phrase "non-essential" doctrine. In this we can agree, and so here is where I wish to leave it. You address some interesting points, and quite honestly I am not one to be closed minded. God bless you.
