1 | The unrepentant raised incorruptible? | Rev 1:7 | Listener | 102696 | ||
Are you saying that the unrepentant dead will be raised incorruptible? What is the difference between the resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous dead? Luke 20:35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; Luke 20:36 for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. John 5:25 Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. John 5:26 For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; John 5:27 and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is [the] Son of Man. John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, John 5:29 and will come forth; those who did the good [deeds] to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil [deeds] to a resurrection of judgment. |

2 | How will Caiaphas see Jesus coming? | Rev 1:7 | Listener | 102622 | ||
Thanks, but my question is: Since Caiaphas and those who pierced Jesus are in their graves now, how can they see Him coming in the clouds in glory and power, as Matthew 26:64 and Rev 1:7 indicate? | ||||||
3 | How can Caiaphas see Jesus' return? | Rev 1:7 | Listener | 102596 | ||
How can the high priest of Matthew 26:64 see Jesus coming in the clouds? See also Rev 1:7 where those who pierced him see him coming with the clouds. | ||||||
4 | Ephriam synonymous w/ Gentile believers? | Ezek 37:19 | Listener | 43221 | ||
Ephriam synonymous with Gentile believers? I saw a teaching from a messianic couple which stated that this verse and others were describing gentile and Jewish believers. That the true church was comprised largely of a scattered remnant of the ten lost tribes, and that the Lord would make us one. Any direct contradictions with scriptures? Alternate explanations? | ||||||
5 | Is all new doctrine false doctrine? | Titus 1:9 | Listener | 35405 | ||
Is all new doctrine false doctrine? I saw this idea stated as a fact and used to refute pre-trib teaching. Does Titus 1:9 indicate that all doctrine is to be treated as a body of truth that is passed from believer to believer? Or is the Bible to be interpreted and new doctrines developed over time? Any additional verses which address this? | ||||||
6 | How can I submit to fallable clergy? | Ex 20:14 | Listener | 32716 | ||
Charis, Thank you for your biblical and straightforward response. You are correct in that I tend not to have faith in men/women of any stripe - whether they be doctors, clergy or anything else. Your biblical reference pinpointed this problem. As a thinking person, though, I am not sure how to overcome this. My observation, personally and from history, is that clergy are just as prone to error and self-will as the rest of us. Must I ignore history and personal observation? If not, how can I, in good faith, "Obey your leaders and submit to them"? Even Paul commended his listeners when they compared what he said with the scriptures, to see if they lined up (Acts 17:11). Jesus directed us to be as wise as serpents yet as harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16). How can we balance obedience and submission with discernment and wisdom? Obviously clergy who incite violence at abortion clinics should not be followed, and there are many other examples, both contemporary and historical. How is this reconciled with submission and obedience? If I say that I will submit and obey only in as much as what they say lines up with the Bible, then there is always room for contention on minor points of doctrine and practice. If I say I will submit and obey even in contradiction to the Bible, as long as the issue is minor - then how can I be sure what is minor in the Lord's eyes? The above paragraph is an attempt to clarify my dilemna in hopes of a usefull response and subsequent solution. I am confident that with His blessing, through the written word, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and brethren who are vessels of His blessing, this attitude can be changed to one which pleases Him. Thanks, Listener |

7 | Two witnesses of Revelation - prophets? | OT general | Listener | 30852 | ||
I think that the two witnesses of Rev 11:3 could be prophets, some speculate that one will be Elijah. Could this also be a reference to Gentile and Jewish believers? | ||||||
8 | ___-trib satisfactory? | Revelation | Listener | 17341 | ||
Is there anyone else out there who feels that all the rapture chronology positions (pre-trib, mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib, ex-trib [O.K., I made that one up]) leave some loose ends scripturally? After studying pre-wrath I was sure I had the answer, but there are a few passages that still don't seem to fit. Sometimes I wonder if we're missing the point with all the rapture chronology emphasis (which I suppose I am perpetuating). | ||||||
9 | Rapture vs. Glorious Appearing? | Matt 24:27 | Listener | 16448 | ||
The rapture and the glorious appearing are linked in scripture. The "stealth rapture" makes an interesting twist at the box office I cannot find a home for the idea in the scriptures. The following verse indicates the sound of his coming and the rapture: 1 Thessalonians 4 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a ***loud command***, with the ***voice of the archangel*** and with the ***trumpet call of God***, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. The following equates the blessed hope of the rapture and the glorious appearing: Titus 2 13looking for the ***blessed hope and glorious appearing*** of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, The following equates His coming and the rapture: John 14 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, ***I will come again and receive you to Myself***; that where I am, there you may be also. The following indicate the visibility of his coming: Matthew 24 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Revelation 1 7Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. The following indicates the glory of his coming at the time when he gives rest to the saints (the rapture) 2 Thessalonians 1 6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. |

Was Mohammed a man of violence himself? Do the Muslims view him as such? What does the Koran specifically say about violence? | ||||||
11 | Why is "laying on of hands" so important | Heb 6:2 | Listener | 16431 | ||
Hebrews 6:1-2 lists several "foundational" principles: repentance, baptism, resurrection and judgement. These are clearly basic christian doctrines. But why is the laying on of hands included? What makes it as basic as the others? | ||||||
