It is funny how you stopped at verse 15! Verses16 &17 are the key verses. "caught up together" means snatched away, taken suddenly, [harpazo] and this is the bodily resurrection of those Christians who are alive. You can think this is nonsense until it happens.

What do think the resurrection is? "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the...

We disagree on some things ...but not this. I also suspect Iran and many nations with her to come against Israel. Iran probably has a nuke and they need at least a few. They are allies with Russia, Iraq, Turkey and likely a half dozen other countries will unite as well. I don't see NATO or US...

This is a Pre-Trib view of course. But the key to His coming is the correct interpretation and identification if the "last trumpet". Pre-Tribbers frankly distort the meaning. I believe the last trumpet is #7, in Rev. 11:15. Kits happen at that time, rewards ate given, Heaven opens up, Jesus is...

Martin Luther ALSO BELIEVED in a place called Purgatory. Read his 95 Theses, I was shocked. He was a Catholic monk. His document started a gradual Reformation over the next 100 years and beyond. The RCC made a fortune by cashing in on people’s hopes of a life in the hereafter, selling...

It's an fundamental truth, that the resurrection of Christ is the most important event in history. He died for our sins and rose from the dead is the heart of the gospel. But what do YOU think about his resurrection? Was it a bodily resurrection? Jesus' dead body was placed in the tomb, wrapped...

The Antichrist will attack Israel and Christians. So he may be Jew but not religious. Also if he is Antichrist how could he claim to be Christ? "I am the Christ ... ah ... whom I am against." No need for a new temple. Maybe, much of the planet will be too. With thw qorldwide earthqyake...

He was speaking of Jesus, a human being, born of a virgin, his physical being, NOT HIS SPIRIT. JESUS' SPIRIT IS ETERNAL AND WAS NOT CREATED. GOD IS SPIRIT. As Col.1:16-17 says, Jesus is the creator of all things. God emptied Himself and became flesh and dwelt among us. A High Priest (a man)...

Jesus will introduce you to them when you get up there and sort it all out for you. ;)

Matthew is Levi, Son of Alphaeus (Mark 2:14). In Mark he is regarded as a tax collector (Matthew 9:9).

Nope. James, son of Alphaeus is NOT Jesus brother. THAT JAMES is the brother of Matthew. Obviously, James, bother of Jesus, IS the SON of Joseph and Mary, NOT THE SON OF ALPHAEUS.

Glad you brought up this topic. I was confused too. I found an intereating study that seems to sort thing out. The Three James' | Learn The Bible | LearnTheBible.org 1. James, brother of John and both sons of Zebedee 2. James, brother of Matthew and both sons of Alpheus. These first two were...

The Phariseea accused Jesus of using the power of Satan to perform healings. So they blasphemed. But it wasn't a judgment against them only. He say anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit. Here is another heneral message to all: Mark 3:28-30 ESV “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven...

I don't trust Big Pharma either!. But ... I'll get to that later. We are all slaves to sin before we have been washed by tye blood of Jesus. Sin has power over us, but when we receive Jesus, believe in our hearts that He died for our sins and rose from the dead on the third day, we will be saved...

You will have to first know what it is to avoid it. And if you are a born again Christian, yiu haventhe Holy Spirit dwelling in you to guide you, teach you and steer you in the right direction Jesus is the Author and finisher of our faith. I have been a virn again Christian for 31 years without...

Warnings and even threats are not empty and for our benifit to heed them. In the same way, we warn our children of punishment and delay promises to keep them in line. God never breaks a promise, He might delay it as He did with the Israelites. But I think temporal promises "The land, milk and...

OSAS is based on a promise. God does not reneg on His promises. Salavation is a gift, unearned. It is not taken away. Since God knows all, He doesn't give you something and then change His mind and take it back. He wouldn't give someone a gift in the first place knowing later they might do...

The RCC, Origin, Augustine, Iraneus, Tertulian, Ambrose, Jerome, Cyproan amd many others misinterpreted scripture. Many scholars do now on various doctrines. Most all the scripture you presented either pertain to life, refinement and/or punishment ON EARTH BEFORE WE DIE. (Psalm 66:12; Isaiah...

No, Catholics say Purgatory is a place you go after death to purge sins until you can be purified to enter heaven. Where is that in scripture? You can't imply that they meant it figuratively. [The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a “purification, so as to achieve the...

It's a certainty, an assurance, a done deal, salvation. We are saved, not if we do this or that, then maybe. And then the idea of Purgatory makes Christ's sacrifice insufficient. A works salvation is a disgrace. Grace is not based on Christ's sacrifice plus our works, it is freely given...
