21 | Teaching Bible Prophecy | Acts 1:7 | gkidder | 185877 | ||
I think we need to back up a bit here, when I first brought up the subject of prophecy it was to ask a simple question as to why prophecy is not being preached behind the pulpit of the church. My frustration is that every thing else is being taught, but not end time prophecy. Not the book of revelation, the Christ of the book of Mathew is a lot different than the Christ of Revelation. In the book of Mathew he is riding a Donkey, in Revelation he is riding a white horse, and that is just one of many examples that I feel need to be preached. We teach about God razing Christ from the dead and ascending to heaven, but we don’t teach about the Rapture of the church and when the dead in Christ shell rise in a twinkling of an eye. Get my point brothers? I just want the Bible evenly taught. | ||||||

Teaching Bible Prophecy Note: Col. 3:23 Amen to you all! Psalms 90:12 Amos 7:3 Daniel 8:19 God has an exact time for the end of this world. Just like he had a time, for Noah’s flood to destroy the earth. There was an exact time when the fountains of the deep opened up. There was an exact time when Abraham would be blessed with a son, Jacob. There was an exact time for the birth of Christ would be born. Which by the way was prophesied by Isaiah seven hundred years before it happened, but still all these events happened and it was in Gods time that he controlled. But that shouldn’t deter us form preaching about events that are yet to be fulfilled. In Christ, Tony |

I never took the time earlier to thank you hank for your note. So far yours has been a positive one and even Mark thank you for your support. I feel that the ignorance is with not preaching the entire gospel. An in-balance, as you said people may be complete and thoroughly equipped. To zero in on any one subject -- be it eschatology, baptism, election or anything else -- and make it one's focus to the exclusion of everything else, does not make the man of God complete and thoroughly equipped; it makes him lop-sided, leading him to place a skewed emphasis upon his pet topic far beyond what the Bible places on it. This not infrequently leads him, if not to omit other vital topics entirely, to fail to give them the same emphasis which Scripture does. ..... The Bible is complete and must be read, studied and taught in its completeness. Amen brother Tony I rest my case. There is a scripture that I’m having trouble finding. It say’s something along the line that people will be willingly ignorant of the truth. Perhaps some one is familiar with this; it pretty well sums up what I was referring to. |

I agree, but we can still let others know what future events are to fallow after teaching and preaching about the Rapture of the church. And still give the salvation message. Looking up and to be ready is what Jesus said. Not in those exact words but you get the jest of what im saying. pease be with you all Tony |

To bradk and hank You have stated that there needs to be a balance of teaching as far as what is being preached behind the pulpit. But yet the emphasis is on the teaching of salvation. If my interpretation is correct salvation can only be taught by using the teaching of Jesus as the main tool for accomplishing his great commission. The story of his birth, his ministry, his death and resurrection I agree that all this is vitally important knowledge in achieving salvation, but more important is the acceptance that he died on the cross for our sins. That I think we can agree on. But for me personally it was the teaching of end time prophecy that initially brought me to accepting Christ in to my hart. And for people like me who knew of Jesus, but didn’t get it until they herd it preached in a different way they to come to know him and have received salvation. And to go a step farther, there are people who believed in evolution that I have ministered to using the creationist approach (answers in genesis .org) and they have gotten saved. So can’t we agree for the most part that there are many tools and or approaches to be used to bring people to salvation? In our lord and savor creator and next king of our planet, Christ Jesus Tony |

I suppose every one has a story to tell or for a better word a testimony. For some it’s through hearing the gospel of Christ preached, for others it’s through a miracle of healing, and yet for others it’s through a different avenue all together. Weather it be Prophecy, Creation science, or a personal or national crises such as 911. What ever God uses to lift that blinding veil for us to see. All I do personally is plant the seed, the rest is up to God to do the rest. But a balance of teaching is needed to accomplish the basic commandment to go and preach to the world, the entire word of God. Your brother in Christ, Tony |

29 | can i ask a few questions | 1 Cor 13:8 | gkidder | 194484 | ||
Can I ask you a few questions? What is the role of prophecy? Or what was God hoping to accomplish with prophecy? Is there room for differing views on prophecy? If so in what way? If not why not? What do we do when we disagree? |

31 | Jehovah Witness questions | Col 2:9 | gkidder | 194815 | ||
Two questions asked from a Jehovah Witness that keeps emailing me. 1.Remember Jesus taught the Bible - not religion. Jesus had nothing but contempt for religion and the religious leaders in his days on the Earth. Really then, Do you think anything has changed? 2.Do you remember what you learned regarding the word LORD, and the word Lord, as they appear in your Bible? At Psalm 110 in the first stanza, we read "The utterance of Jehovah (LORD) to my Lord is: Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet." Is Jehovah talking to himself? It doesn't seem likely does it. Is Jesus talking to himself? That too doesn't seem likely. Does it not seem that Jehovah is indeed talking to his son and our redeemer Jesus Christ? This is the logical conclusion. That being said, I wonder, how would the trinity fit in here? A "penny" for your thoughts, your Christian friend and neighbor, Ted |

32 | believing the entire bible | 2 Tim 2:15 | gkidder | 195596 | ||
This was as my pastor puts it our last go around. I would like as much input as i can. Allow me to push back on a couple of thoughts. You found several things disturbing in this latest go around... What if I came to the point in reading the gospels when Jesus said “love God love others” and I read no further but gave my life to doing just that...do you think God would care that I knew nothing about the rapture or the tribulation or revelation or and the list could go on. Why get so caught up in thinking that the rapture ought to be the litmus test for being a “good” Christian? A personal question...has your study of Scripture led you to being a more loving person? Was the prophecy that you know, given to motivate you or those around you who do not know it? What if God reveals prophecy to you so that you would recognize the times and do your part of loving others into the kingdom? Because if you are not careful the knowledge you have can lead to a judgmental attitude towards others who do not know the same things. I do not need to know the house is on fire to recognize someone trying to help me. What if from a Jewish perspective six literal days was not the point of Genesis one and two but rather to give God the credit for being the creator? Does it change anything? |

33 | believing the entire bible | 2 Tim 2:15 | gkidder | 195598 | ||
Yes! and Prophecy in general This is just one example of the many midrash, as the Jewish people call it that I have been having with my Pastor over the issue of teaching prophecy. In short it all got started when I presented an idea for teaching Prophecy to the children ministry. I wanted to donate some teaching material from the David Reagan’s ministry. Lamb and Lyons ministry. He had written an excellent children’s book entitled the second coming of Christ. This was rejected by my Pastor and this is what has lead to our corresponding on this whole issue. I would greatly appreciate you input I feel that I’m all alone and frankly I’m running out of material to defend my position. Some else’s view point my be of great help. Tony |

34 | Are there any scriptures for the rapture | 2 Pet 3:10 | gkidder | 188453 | ||
This is from an earlyer post Two second comeings or one? For example, Christ is now in heaven from which the angel promised he would come again to this earth. The first phase of his coming is "in the air" for believers;it will be a great blessing to all who participate in it. This is called by some Bible believing scholars as " the Rapture," based on the Greek word harpaso, which means"to snatch away". The same word is used in Acts 8:39 and describes how the Holy spirit "cought Philip away" after he baptized the Ethiopian. Paul as so used this word to describe his experience of being caught up to the third heaven.(2Cor. 12:2-4) 1thess. 4:13-18 is a complete desceiption of the Rapture. phase of Crist coming. immediately after the Rapture the judgment of cristians will take place. The second phase of the Lords second coming is the public appearance of Christ to the earth, when he is accompanied wth power and great glory as well as the angels of heaven. At that tim he will set up his earthly kingdom.rev.1:7 Overwelming number of references to the second coming in both the old and new testaments have to do with this phase of the Lords coming, only a few referances describe his coming for his church, or the Rapture.So you see there are not two comings of Christ, but rather, there are two phases of his one coming. First phase for Christians, and the second phase is for the world of unbelievers. |
