1 | Has Jesus already come? Scripture ref P | Matt 24:27 | dschaertel | 115755 | ||
It depends on what you mean by second coming. I am not even sure that there is explicitly one and only one second coming spoken of in the Bible. Certainly he came in judgement of Israel in 70 AD. Ceratinly he came to John to deliever the vision, the Revelation that John wrote for us. Certainly he came in the form of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Certainly he comes and lives and reigns in and through the chuch which is his body. He also said to the thief on the cross, "today you will be with me in paradise". So I guess the question is what do you think his coming is? |

2 | Will we be here once anti-Christ appears | 1 John 2:18 | dschaertel | 85778 | ||
We are here now aren't we? Consider the following veses: 1John 2:18, 1John 2:22, 1John 4:3, and 2John 1:7. I think the answer to your question is quite clear. This talk about a future antichrist and this elaborate end times story is great for selling books, making movies and scaring people into coming to church, but it just isn't in the Bible. |

3 | Who wrote the book of Revelation? | Rev 1:1 | dschaertel | 83951 | ||
The common answer is the Apostle John. I tend to think this is true, but there are a couple things that differentiate this from his other writings. In his other writings he never refers to himself as John. He also makes use of compound words which he doesn't otherwise. Since there is question as to the date of the writing of Revelation there must also be some question about it's author. Eusebius ( the first church historian) also did not believe that it was the Apostle John. I believe that it was because I believe that Jesus foretold in John 21:22 that John would remain until He came. Tradition tells that they couldn't kill John and Jesus of course was revealed to John, the last remaining Apostle. |

4 | What is 666? | Revelation | dschaertel | 64223 | ||
Ceaser Nero is who is referred to here. Those who woud be wise are the ones that knew the religous language, or Hebrew. Greek was the language of the time and the common people spoke it. In Hebrew Ceaser Nero adds up to 666. He was also referred to as the Beast. |

5 | Death in the millenium Isai 65:20 | Revelation | dschaertel | 64222 | ||
There will be death in the millenium, because that is the period of time that we are in right now. The thousand years in the bible is not a literal thousand years. It is an indefinate period of time describing the church age. Christ reigns in, as, and through His church. The church is the "body" of Christ. He is right here right now reigning on earth. |

6 | the great commission/evangelism? | Matt 28:19 | dschaertel | 56353 | ||
If all we are ever going to get is bits and pieces,it is evenmore important to obey. Since we can't make an ultimately intellegent choice, we need to trust those to whom Jesus entrusted his church. Obedience is the key in the absence of all the facts. |

7 | Father,Son,Holy Ghost, are one | Matt 28:19 | dschaertel | 53830 | ||
Yes he really meant to baptize. He didn't say it to everybody though. He was speaking to the 11. They then choose people to carry on the work. But, yes, He meant to baptize. Do we really have to get married, do we really have to have a wedding? Can't we just live together? It is just a ritual, and a meaningless piece of paper, right? Of course not. Your marriage is not recognized unless it is done leagally. So too, we must be baptized. We don't love our spouse because we get married. We aren't saved because we get baptized. But refusal to do so, disqualifies us from it's benifits. |

8 | What is this verse saying? | Acts 4:12 | dschaertel | 53829 | ||
Jesus said all power an authority in heaven and earth has been given to him. Jesus has the authority to save us, nobody else. It is his call, his free will. We can only declare to each other what He alone can do. |

9 | Sola Scriptura supported by bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | dschaertel | 48019 | ||
Not only does the Bible not teach Sola Scriptura, it says nothing of the Bible itself. Yes, it does refer to scripture, but it doesn't tell us anywhere what is scripture and what is not. To argue Sola Scriptura is to take a leap right past the issue of what is scripture. When Paul said that all scripture is inspired by God, the scripture he most likely had was the Septuagint. This version contained the books that we call the Apocrypha. Paul made no exclusion of those books. Just something to think about, since Luther and those who began the doctrine of Sola Scriptura didn't acknowledge these books as scripture. So who gets to decide what is and what is not scripture? |
