22 | what will happen to isreal and palistine | Ezek 38:11 | Jeff W | 140881 | ||
Hello, From these verse where does one get all the ideas that Israel is the nation that will be doing all the things that are supposed to happen. The temple being destroyed, and rebuilt. The seven year "tribulation" period. The anti-christ (counterfeit)? I read more about Babylon in Revelation than any other kingdom. God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello, Praise the Lord brother. There are many who will say that these are taken to heaven to prove the pre-trib position. But you hit the nail on the head. Those who are taken are taken to perdition. In fact in Revelaiton 19:20 John uses the word "taken" to describe the beast being "taken" to the bottomless pit KJV. These are not taken to heaven, but to where the eagles are gathered together, where the dead carcasses are gathered during and after armageddon. God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello kalos, Sooooo many people overlook these verses. This question that the disciples ask Jesus is so pertinant to the deception on the "rapture" teaching that is so prevalant. Those who are taken are taken to hell and judgement just like you stated. Where the vultures are gathered together. The "Left Behind" deception has swept over the world with a cloud of darkness which has blinded the eyes, and understanding of millions of God's children. Those who believe in the pre-trib rapture position think that we will have a second chance after God "raptures" His church. Is there any examples throughout scripture of second chances? Noah? Sodom and Gomorrah? Korah's rebellion? Any second chances? This world will be destroyed by fire, and if we are not in the ark of safety: Jesus Christ, we will be consumed with it. God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello Doc, I hear ya! Anyway the pre-trib rapture has very little proof texts, and many of theme are pre texts anyway, ie. out of context. God Bless you Jeff W |

28 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:36 | Jeff W | 140114 | ||
Hello, I appreciate all the studies and commentaries that are out there, but I try to limit my studies to the Word of God only. Sure sometimes I might use strongs, or a bible dictionary, but I have skimmed through many commentaries, and foind that they are the easiest way to take our focus off the simplicity of the gospel as brought to us by oue Great Example Jesus. His simplicity is so profound that even a child can understand His Word. I don't condemn anyone for wanting to move along in their studies, but I would like to encourage all who use commentaries to be careful to not overwrite God's word with them. God Bless you Jeff W |

29 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:36 | Jeff W | 140474 | ||
Hello Kalos, Amen brother. Our infinitely wise heavenly Father gave us a simple gospel messsage so that even a child could understand salvation, but He also gave us information that the wisest of philosophers are silent about. One verse that I have been baffled with is John 3:13 where Jesus was explaining to Nicodemus a truth that would cause him to wonder about for the rest of his life. I sure wonder about it. Jesus is there talking to Nicodemus and in heaven at the same time. This is way beyond my finite wisdom to grasp. God Bless you Jeff W |

30 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:36 | Jeff W | 140480 | ||
Hello, I use to believe in the pre trib rapture, but after years of reading the Word of God, and listening to the bible on cassette all night, driving in my car, pretty much wherever I went, for many years, the Lord convicted me about His word being plain as day. The commentaries are beneficial for getting the setting for the book, and there are many other benefits, but I hear too much commentary when I quote verses and get presumption, and suppposition in return. There are many who are led to believe that when the church is "raptured" then they can get ready for Jesus to come again. This is the second chance I am referring. This is not an ignorant statement because The Lord has given me the priviledge to study with many evey night for years, and this is what I was hearing, even I used to believe that. God Bless you Jeff W |

31 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:36 | Jeff W | 140704 | ||
Hello Doc, Amen brother, I believe the post trib has much more scriptural support that any other, because in my humble opinion the Word of God is one way or the other, I don't believe God would, very graciously give us His word, and leave us guessing about it. The scriptures are very cut and dry. And although there may seem to be many gray areas, in time the Holy Spirit will reveal them if we truly seek Him with our whole heart. God Bless you Jeff W |

32 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:36 | Jeff W | 140708 | ||
Hello, I hear ya! Be ready is the main theme of all the warnings on the second coming. But we are also told that those who are ready will not be overtaken as a thief in the night. 1 Thes. 5:4 BTW Peter is the one who tld us to be ready always to give an answer to everyone that asks you for a reason of the hope that is in you. 1 Peter 3:15. :) This doctrine of the "pre mid post rapture", which is farily new, is one of the most perverted doctrines, next to the doctrine of conversion and sanctification. The devil knows where to attack God's people. The sabbath is another one. God Bless you Jeff W |

33 | WHERE are they taken? | Luke 17:36 | Jeff W | 140714 | ||
Hello, I did not intend to get into a discussion about this verse. I just wanted to show how, to me the Word of God could be so for reaching that our puny little brains couldn't even scrach the surface of it. :) These comments, study notes, are, well, what can I say. . . The way I read John 3 10-13 is as Jesus is talking to Nicodemus, Nicodemus trys to play stupid, but Jesus cuts to the chase and Nicodemus' small talk is laid bare by the wisdom of Jesus. Jesus tells him "If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things." Then Jesus tells Him a heavenly thing that, to me is so over nicodemus' head that I could just picture the look on his face when Jesus told him "no man ascended up to heaven. . ." God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello, Ephesians 2:8-9 "For but grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast." This is the reason sanctification and conversion are the most perverted doctrines. I have asked many many people what this means, and many of them have no idea. To say we are saved by grace does not mean we are free to break the law, it does not mean that we do not have to obey, it does not mean we just have to sit around and hope that we slide into heaven "safe" just under the wire, because what is stated in verse 10 gives us a great obligation, which is also a condition to the promise of being "saved" by grace. "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. . ." Good works are essential to salvation. Jesus commission to His disciples "Go ye therefore". The bible is all about action, and to even say that "I'm 'saved' by grace" leaves a message in my mind that works are out of the question. I know we are saved by grace but what does that mean? God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello Tim I have had the priviledge to study with many people with many diverse opinions about doctrine, and one of the most widely used excuses for not having to obey is: "there's none righteous" so we don't need obedience. I have been to many different denominational discourses, and there are whole denominations that believe something similar to this. Another one is: "the law was 'nailed to the cross'", so we don't have to obey it, and they use Colossians 2:14 which is way out of context for their erroneous views. To say we don't need obedience for salvation is cutting it close there Tim. The book of James, which BTW Martin Luther wanted to remove it from sacred scripture, gives us some statements that sound pretty contradictory to all of Paul's writings, but while we are in Christ He gives us great understanding about what Paul writes in Romans 3:20 and Galatians 2:16 compared to James 2:21-24. I believe that we are not "saved" by our works but we can sure be lost without them. God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello' I tend to take what the bible states literally on many issues, except prophecy of course. And when James states that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only, well I believe what he wrote through inspiration before I would hear some modern day commentary. Primitive Godliness is what we desperately need today, but I will probably get an arguement about that too, like almost all my posts into this forum. I can't believe how someone can twist what someone else states and make it say the complete opposite. I am not accusing anyone, but we all must have the love of Jesus in order to get along, and if we cannot agree, and get along here how can we be together in the hereafter? Even when I totally agree with what someone states I get an argument. This is not 1 Cor 1:10 God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello EdB You said "Too, many are trying to sell the idea we can live like hell itself and still be sons and daughters of a Holy and Righeous God." I'm sure glad somebody noticed.:) I belive this is the reason the church is in such a condition, too many professors are buried alive under water, and are still living after the flesh and arguing that this is a Christian walk. God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello Kalos, Thank you for sharing. There are three verses that many skeptics will use to prove that the bible contradicts itself: Romans 3:28 Galatians 2:16 James 2:24. These verse seem like they do contradict each other to the eye of the flesh, but from a Christian standpoint you and I know the bible does not contradict itself. We also know and can agree that our good works cannot "save" us, but the whole context of Ephesians 2:8-10 is capped by verse 10 which balances out the statement that we are "saved" by grace alone. We are created to do good works, but in our flesh we cannot do these. it takes something foreign to our human nature to give ue the desire to do good, and that is the gospel. When I see Jesus on the cross, dying for my sins, this causes me to want to do what is right, and this is where convictions come from, through the Holy Spirit of course. This is also why Paul wrote that the cross is the power of God. 1 Cor 1:18. The power that eminates from the cross is the convicting power of the Spirit which causes us to obey. Romans 1:5 tells us that grace was given for obedience, and God's grace is manifested at the cross which is the power, and the gospel. God Bless you Jeff W |

Hello Tim This sounds good to me. Justified in a sense of being right in what one is doing. Happy New Years to you too God Bless you Jeff W |

40 | Filled with the holy spirit? | John 14:16 | Jeff W | 138207 | ||
Hello, Many believe that they must "feel" something when they receive the Holy Spirit, but one of my favorite verses is John 3:8, it states that the wind blows where it will and we cannot see it, but we see the results, so is the Holy Spirit. We could be sad or glad, sorrowful or full of joy and still have the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Holy Spirit was given to us for specific reasons. Jesus states in John 14:26 that God will send the Comforter in His name to do what? Also jesus states in John 16:8 that when the Holy Spirit (Comforter) comes He will reprove, or convince, or convict the wolrd of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement. So the Holy Spirit is very important in our lives personally. Without Him how would we know if we are sinning, or righteous? God Bless you Jeff W |
