1201 | Are there any scriptures for the rapture | 2 Pet 3:10 | skccab | 188179 | ||
Hi MRoyal, I keep going to many of the Scriptures that people use for the 2nd coming - many of those don't actually speak of Christ coming back to the earth, they speak of Him coming in the clouds. And then I recall many of the Old Testament scriptures that almost in the same breath speak of the 1st advent and the 2nd advent, sometimes in that order, sometimes reversed. That's one of the reasons the Jews didn't recognize Jesus as Messiah, cos they were looking for a Conqueror, not a Servant. If the prophecies were like that in the Old Testament - so that the Jews didn't see 2 events - why are we so adament that the verses we use for 2nd advent and the rapture have to be the same event? Isn't it possible that both views are correct? Just a thought. blessings cheri |

Thank you, Edwin, I enjoyed your post as well. It's strange how some things are so clear and others can be so murky. But one thing is very clear - 1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. I can barely wait!! Can you? blessings cheri |

MRoyal, Nor has anyone been able to answer the questions I posted earlier that are left unanswered if the "rapture" or catching away takes place after the tribulation. Namely: 1 - Rev. 4, from this point on, the church is not seen as being on earth. Where are we? 2 - Rev. 19:9, Who, if not the church, is at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb? 3 - Rev. 19:14, Who, if not the resurrected dead in Christ and the living glorified saints, are the armies that return to earth with Christ? 4 - Rev. 20:7-8, Who is deceived, if before the millennium, all are caught away (resurrected or glorified)? blessings cheri |

Good morning, MRoyal I realize that they are not the 144,000, but if they are not the raptured, then who are they? Where did they come from, and they are elders of what? To whom are they giving information and instruction, certainly not the Father nor the Lamb? cheri |

Good morning sweet sister I've been of the same mind as you as far as the rapture and the other events that are to take place. Mr Royal is pointing out another view (which many others also hold, I must add). So I was asking him who these elders were if the tribulatin has not yet taken place at that point in Rev. I thank you so much for your response, though. Like I said before, I ALWAYS enjoy your posts. continue in your gentle devotion to our Lord may God bless cheri |

1210 | does bible contradict itself? | 2 Pet 3:16 | skccab | 195443 | ||
Shalom Brad, Thank you for sharing that piece from Torrey. It helps. I don't believe that there are any errors or contradictions either, but like Torrey said, sometimes our limited knowledge makes it appear so. Case in point: the genealogy found in Matthew 1 - it gives 3 breakdowns of 14 generations each, but the 3rd breakdown stops at the birth of Messiah which is only 13 generations. To someone new, or just reading with the intellect that would appear to be an error or contradiction. It is probably listed elsewhere what the missing generation is but I kind of like to think that the 14th generation is us, the believers who have been born into the Family of God by grace through trust in Yeshua. still learning Cheri |

1212 | Sin unto death | 1 John | skccab | 202278 | ||
Shalom y'all again, This question is probably a really dumb question, and the answer is most likely right under my nose and I'm missing it, but here goes: Scripture first: 1Jn 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. 1Jn 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 1Jn 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. WHAT is the sin unto death? I know that one obviously is not accepting Messiah as Lord and Savior but that can't be what John's talking about because we're told in no uncertain terms to pray for unbelievers. From the wording, it appears that it is not a secret sin, something only done behind closed doors, it's something one could see the brother doing out in the open. What is it?? Thanks (feeling kinda silly I don't know this) :-) Cheri |

Morning Believer, I work midnights, what's your excuse for being up at this hour :-) ? Thanks that did help. So basically, what you're saying then, is that John is talking about the sin proper and not the brother (or sister) committing it? That I misunderstood, thinking John was saying not to pray for the person committing the sin. What you said makes a lot of sense (especially since we don't seem to know what the sin is). Duh, sometimes I'm not too bright at 5am hahaha. Shalom Cheri |

Morning Steve, Am I understanding you correctly, that there is a sin that an unbeliever can commit that we shouldn't pray for that person? If that's the case, shouldn't we know what the offense is? What is it? I'm confused. Cheri |

1216 | Sin unto death | 1 John | skccab | 202287 | ||
Good morning tenderheart, I like that screenname, it's nice. I don't think that is the sin unto death, because Messiah said Himself in John 17:12 that those whom God gave to Him He has kept and not lost them. There are those (like me who got busy and forgetful and not even realizing it, wandered away, but not so far I couldn't hear Him calling me back) and then there are those who played the game and gave lip service for awhile but they never had a real and personal relationship with the Savior (they were never "saved/born again"). Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't think anyone who truly knew the joy and warmth of God's love could ever walk away and deny the reality of what they had once known. There are different views on the "once saved, always saved" issue and I'm not looking to go there in debate or heated discussion, but I do think that if I'd died while I was away, I would have gone home to Him, but would have forfeited any rewards that may have once been mine. Since you asked :-) Nice to meet you, sweet sister Hope we can continue to study our Father's word together Cheri |

Shalom Steve, Ok, confusion in that area gone - I hadn't really tried to distinguish the person committing the act. Now, that you have gotten my eyes off the what and onto the who - I think I have my answer. Thanks Cheri |

Tenderheart, I feel I can speak for the rest of the "regulars" here on SBF, many are sitting right where you are, with loved ones not yet saved, that you and your family will be in our prayers. Cheri |

1220 | I'm Confused! | 1 John 1:9 | skccab | 211720 | ||
Shalom Reedera, Maybe I can help clear this up for you? When you first come to your Lord, you come as a sinner, with no hope, no home, no heritage. You were born in sin, lived in sin. He takes you and does more than just clean you up, He makes you completely new, totally whole, the way Adam was before he fell from grace. That is the only time you will come before the Throne of God as a sinner. You were forgiven for being a sinner, not for individual sins (wrongs) committed (though that is included). Now, as a child of God, fully capable of walking in the Spirit but also quite human, you make mistakes, do things you know you shouldn't. These are sins that need to be taken care of by admitting them and by asking and receiving forgiveness for them. If you don't? You won't go to hell, God won't turn His back on you, but you yourself will begin to dwell on your shortcomings and that will eventually affect your fellowship with the Father and with your fellow believers. I hope this helped a little bit :o) Cheri |
