1 | Aften1, are you a Christian? | Bible general Archive 1 | Pastor Glenn | 72395 | ||
Aften1, You said, "Am I Christian? I stand in service to Father and the honor is mine." Well, you must accept Christ before you serve the Father. God requires total perfection. This can be achieved only by receiving the rightiousness of Christ: Ezekiel 33:13 When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die. Luke 18 9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, "God, I thank You that I am not like other men--extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' 13And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, "God, be merciful to me a sinner!' 14I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." We need the pardon that only comes from Jesus: Isaiah 55 7Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.

Pastor Glenn In the two verses listed here one says the time is at hand, 2 Thessalonians was written about two thousand years ago. In Revelation it says (shortly come to pass). So what is the time frame for Rapture? As you know only Father knows. I would advise people to keep makeing their credit card payments. Also as a gentle reminder - Revelation has been decoded. 2 Thessalonians 2 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Revelation 1 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: |

Aften1, You said, "In the two verses listed here one says the time is at hand, 2 Thessalonians was written about two thousand years ago." Psalm 90:4 For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night. 2 Peter 3 3knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation." 5For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us,[2] not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. So what was your point in noting 2 thousand years? Is the bible too old to believe? Pastor Glenn |
