    RAPTURE QUESTION + answer

    The idea of a 'season' is actually one of the best ways to describe recognizing the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul used it as "the times and the seasons" in 1 Thess.5:1. Christ used it with the idea of "summer" and harvest time, applying agricultural terms which are about seasons of the...

    How Many Resurrections Are There? (Rapture Topic)

    Why does our Lord Jesus teach us that at the sound of His voice, ALL that are in the graves will be raised, meaning at His second coming, either to one of the TWO TYPES of resurrection, those who have done good to the "resurrection of life", and those who have done evil to the "resurrection of...

    How Many Resurrections Are There? (Rapture Topic)

    Those are several wrong assumptions that come from concepts outside God's Word. At Christ's second coming, ALL are raised from the dead, but NOT ALL are of the resurrection unto Life... John 5:28-29 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall...

    How Many Resurrections Are There? (Rapture Topic)

    The Rev.20:5 verse is NOT about the "martyred" at all like your no. 2. If you try to apply its phrase, "This is the first resurrection" to those same "dead" of that verse, then you err in separating the subject of the first resurrection from the previous Rev.20:4 verse. In John 5:28-29, Christ...

    How Many Resurrections Are There? (Rapture Topic)

    Not parsing words, but understanding the Rev.20:5 Scripture by not separating it out of The Bible by itself; i.e., allowing God's Word to interpret God's Word. God's Word teaches a an idea like 'spiritual death' as a literal condition. Christ used it in Matt.23:27 and Luke 11:44 applied to the...

    King James Wordings Found In Early Greek Papyri New Testament Manuscripts

    The KJV is definitely not an "outdated" work, and there are reasons why irrespective of its remnants of Old English. The editions of the 1611 KJV in later print are not even exactly the same as the original Old English first edition. So much has been done to make it easier to understand while...

    “The Flesh” –Netchaplain

    When Paul in Rom.7 pointed to sin dwelling in his members to mean his 'flesh' body, that is exactly... what he meant. He reveals this even more in the 1 Cor.15 chapter where he stated flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. This also when he said that as we have borne the "image of...

    Hidden dynasties

    Acts 23:12-13 12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. (KJV) Ezek 22:23-25 23 And the word of...

    Do you believe in the literal word-for-word Genesis account of creation?

    It is literal. However, some of it must be taken back to the original language to get the full picture. For example, the KJV phrase "without form, and void" (Hebrew tohuw va bohuw) is not the meaning in the Hebrew. In Isaiah 45:18 God said He did not create the earth 'tohuw'. The phrase "in...

    King James Wordings Found In Early Greek Papyri New Testament Manuscripts

    So the BBC should be trusted??? Ha! I don't know any media outlets today that can be fully trusted. A few years ago a New York Times journalist got caught making up news that never happened, and admitted it wasn't the first time that was done. Yet a lot of liberals will trust the NY Times like...

    Christ as the firstborn

    The 1-2nd century Gnostics DID TRY to claim the flesh equals sin in their philosophy of angels and such, but the whole gist of their false doctrines were actually about seeking perfection in the flesh, as a means to be released from it. The Gnostics weren't even the originators of that idea, it...

    Whose government do you defend or speak good about?

    Luke 22:36 36 Then said He unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. (KJV) A Pacifist that won't stop the wicked in their terror against God's children have lost their saltiness for...

    RAPTURE QUESTION + answer

    Christ gave a time marker for the start of the 'signs' He gave in His Olivet Discourse, what He called "these things", when you shall see them. He connected it with a parable of the fig tree. That parable cannot be understood only from what He gave in His Olivet Discourse. It goes back to the...

    What Heb 9:15 really means to us today ?

    It's because the ONLY TRUE Gospel is that of The Gospel of Jesus Christ, not some member's writing of an ascetic desert sectarian group like the Essenes. I'm not the one who needs to catch up. If Obama were the coming Antichrist, he'd be doing miracles in the sight of men IN JERUSALEM, like...

    Does Paul tell is in Romans chapter 7 that we will always sin while in this flesh nature?

    One thing is for sure, Ishmael was not a chosen one to receive God's Birthright, but Isaac, the son of Abraham, was.

    Whose government do you defend or speak good about?

    It's perfectly OK if you personally want to be a Pacifist and not defend yourself, the poor, nor the widow and the fatherless like God commanded His servants to do. That's your personal choice to not do that.

    The beast that was and was not and yet is

    That's too much of a broad sweeping statement with no Bible Scripture backup. Zech 14:13-16 13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the...

    Could God Save Everybody If He Wanted To?

    No, the idea that Satan, that old serpent, was a creation by God is NOT a Muslim teaching. It is The Word of God... Ezek 28:12-19 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in...
