1 | Are we now in start of end times? | Matt 24:36 | Emmaus | 88138 | ||
Applejack, As soon as we are born we are living in "the end times" as far as our earthly lives are concerned and we never know when we will be called.So far for every Christian who has lived since the Ascension, the end time came without the Rapture. Odds are it will be that way for us too. Christrian history is littered with fall predicitions "end times" were just around the corner. All of the prophets of that coming died without their predictions coming to pass. It does not matter when the Lord will return so long as we are living as if He will return or we will go to meet Him today. Emmaus |

2 | Are we now in start of end times? | Matt 24:36 | Applejack | 88173 | ||
Yes, You are right and I agree with you wholeheartedly! I do feel that it is necessary to believe that He may come in the next 20 minutes so as to remember what we are living for. I often use the phrase "Hi I'm AppleJack and I'm dying" when speaking to teens about smoking because I have Emphysema or C.O.P.D. which is caused mostly by smoking....But really you are right it is the beginning of the end of all of our lives, every minute is one less minute of life for us. My telephone answering machine announcement before the name states "Jesus is coming soon,and time is getting short and short is getting shorter...Are YOU ready!" | ||||||
3 | Are we now in start of end times? | Matt 24:36 | dschaertel | 88177 | ||
The Bible says that the end times, or more accurately time of the end, was back in the first century. Acts 2:14-17 Clearly Peter identifies those days as the end times. And in fact they were. 40 years after that the final blow would be struck to the old covenant in 70AD when the Temple would be destroyed. This time we live in now is the "1000" years. Revelation identifies the New Jerusalem as the Church. Therefore the Church age is the "1000" year reign of Christ. Christ lives and reigns in and through His Church, and His Kingdom shall "never" end. |

4 | Are we now in start of end times? | Matt 24:36 | Dmunn | 88181 | ||
The old covenant has never been broken or to make it more accurate the abraham covenant has never been broken. His covenant with Abram relied on one thing on Abrams part and that was to leave his home land. (Gen.12:1-3)Which he did. Paul also mentioned that Israel will be restored and God has not turned His back on them in Romans Chapter 11. It is mentioned through out the entire bible. Revelation never ever identifies the Church as New Jerusalem. Isaiah 66 shows us that the New Jerusalem is NOT the church. The Jewish people have never stopped being God's chosen people. Hosea 6:2, Ezekiel 36-38 shows exactly to the very mark what is happening with the apple of God's eye Israel. You really have to take th Bible as it is writen when it says when Jesus comes back every eye will see Him. I believe that as it says and not something else. The thousand reign of our King and Lord has not started yet. Christ doesn't live in his church. Christ sits at the right hand of God. Another thing I should mention is that if you are a gentile you were not part of Acts 2 there was only Jews there at that time. Peter didn't realize that the Gospel was for the Gentiles until Acts 10. If I seem harsh I am sorry for that but I believe what God told Abram blessed is he who blesses you cursed is he that curses you. Gen 12:3, Gen 22:12, Num. 24:9. |

What you fail to realize is that Israel is all God's chosen people, not just the Jews. If you limit it to the Jews then you have missed one of the major points of Paul's letters, especially Ephesians and Galatians. The mystery of the New covenant is that God's grace is for "all" people, not just the Jews. The spirit that is pro-Jew and denies that the Church is the body of Christ is the spirit of antichrist. John says: John 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 1 John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. 1 John 4:4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. A couple notes here. First John clearly indicates that antichrist is already at work in his day. Second, that spirit denies that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. What he means by "has come in the flesh" is the church. He makes that clear in verse 4 where he states that Jesus lives "in" us. To deny that there was a guy named Jesus is just plain rediculous. The quesiton is do you believe that He lives here and now, and that as the Bible says, the church is the "body" of Christ. Also, I highly recomend you go and read Galatians 4:19-31. You are missing something. |

I never said the Grace of God is for all people who believe in His Son Jesus Christ. The Grace and the Covenant God made with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob different. We know that in Christ there is no Jew, Gentile, woman or man. But that excludes thoses who are not in Christ. Outside of Christ there are still Jew and Gentile. I don't read anywhere In the bible that says your an antichrist in John's epistles if you are Pro Jew. I don't see him speaking against himself or speaking against Jesus because Jesus comes from the tribe of Judah. To be anti-Jew you would actually be denying who Jesus really is. Who does it State that Jesus has come in the flesh is being the Church? Or are you changing the words to try and make your point? Jesus coming in the flesh is exactly what it says. Jesus came in the flesh 100 percent man and 100 percent God. Died for our sins raised from the dead on the third day accended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God. I don't believe that Jesus came back to earth now for over 2000 years I do believe that the Holy Spirit is who dwells in the people who Confesses that Jesus is Lord and savior. To think that God broke a covenant which I see if you study that covenant you will realize it is a very solid strong covenant if not the strongest besides our Salvation being right next to the strengh of the covenant would be calling God a liar which is so far from the truth because God is TRUTH. He never commited sin for 1 split second since the very beginning of time. |

God didn't "break" His covenant, He fulfilled it through Jesus Christ. God said he will make Abraham a father of many nations, not just one. And if you believe in the Trinity, then you must believe that the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ are one in the same person. So if the Holy Spirit has come to us, then so has Christ come to dwell in us. Read John 14 carefully. Jesus says that He will not abandon us, but will send the comforter, and in the same context he then says he will come to us. Jesus clearly makes the connection that he and the spirit are the same and they/he has come. John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. |

God promised Abrham many nations yes and he got that promise through His Son Isaac and Ismael. Isaac nation is Israel Ismael's is the Arab's. The promise was made to Abraham and HIS decendents. I am not a decendent of Abraham. Also God even tells Moses about the Judgements of the Lord concerning the nation of Israel in Deu. 28:49-68 Later in that book he mentions their restoration in Deu. 30. All you have to do is turn on the news to see that the Old Testament is being fullfilled before the second coming of Christ. |

Well, this could go on for a while, but yes, you are a decendant of Abraham: Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. Israel is not decended of the flesh, but of the promise. Ishmael wasn't part of that deal. And neither is the country Israel. They bare only the name, and even if they are decendants through the flesh, it means nothing. Present day Israel is nothing. The chuch is the Israel of God according to the Bible: Galatians 6:15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. |
