Also Steve, please be careful on who you say that to. It could lead a depressed person to think less of themselves than they already do and lead to suicide. prayon | ||||||

143 | 7 years of tribulation? | Matt 24:29 | prayon | 60953 | ||
Greetings inheavenseyes, just a little more on the 7 years for you. As everyone said the 7 years of tribulation has not come yet. Daniel 9:27 tells us that the tribultion will begin when the Roman Antichrist signs a treaty with the Jews to rebuild their temple and resume animal sacrifices. During this time the antichrist will provide a pseudo-peace. Halfway through the 7 years the antichrist will break this covenant by causing an abomination against the Jewish people. The desecration will ruin what the Jews regard as sacred,the temple. (see also Matt 24:15). During the first 1260 days or 3 1/2 years the two witnesses (believed to be Moses and Elijah) will be present. They will identify the antichrist for who he is. The antichrist will have the two witnesses killed and they will lay dead in the street for 3 days and then be raised from the dead. During the 2nd half of the tribulation the antichrist will have supernatural powers. During this time the antichrist will raise up a conspirator. The conspirator will be even more ruthless because he will enslave the minds and souls of men. It is believed that this person will be a religious specialist. prayon |

144 | the ten virgins | Matt 25:1 | prayon | 44048 | ||
Greetings Mommapbs, I believe that those who miss the rapture will have a second chance. The bible tells us that 144,000 will never give into the beast. It also tells us that these people come from the 12 tribes of Isreal. All Jews have heard about Jesus Christ and yet refused to believe that He was the son of God. If what you said (that any one who has heard will not get a second chance to go to heaven), then the 144,000 would not be able to get into heaven. In addition Rev 9:9 tells us that "Blessed are those who are invited to the marrisage supper of the lamb". Through the process of elimination these people are believed to be the tribulation saints. All those who were raised in the rapture and all the OT and NT saints will be the bride of Christ, this only leaves the Tribulation believers. The wedding guests will join the bride and groom in fellowship for the next 1000 years. The guests will be made immortal after the 1000 year reign. 1Cor 15:53 tells us that the believers will be raised up and made immortal. Rev 20:5 says that the dead will be raised up from the tribulation will be judged. Anyone who becomes a believer after the rapture will go to heaven but will not be made immortal. I believe that the 5 virgins whose lamps were empty will be left at the tribulation but that they will have a second chance to get their act together and join us in heaven as the guests of the groom. I also believe that they will have a second chance because our God is a merciful God and a loving God that hates to see anyone perish. He gives all of us chance after chance when we mess up to redeem ourself. Why should it be any different later? Our God is an unchanging God. Hope this helps. prayon |

146 | curious questions concerning crucifying | Matt 27:22 | prayon | 4457 | ||
Hank gave a very good description but I would like to add a little more. Jesus first suffering began in the Garden of Gethsemane at which time He sweated blood. This is a rare condition known as Hematidrosis. It happens when under great emotional stress; tiny capillaries in the sweat glands can break mixing the blood with sweat. This condition alone could of produced marked weakness and possible shock. With the soldiers striking Jesus in the face, by morning, He was battered and bruised as well as dehydrated and exhausted. When He was scrouged He was stripped of His clothing and His hands were tied to a pole above him. The "whip" was made of several heavy leather throngs with small beads of lead attached to the ends. At first the throngs cut only through the skin. As the scrourging continues each blow cut into His back a little deeper until there was arterial bleeding from in the underlying muscles. The small beads of lead produce bruises which are broken open by subsequent blows until the entire area is just a mass of torn bleeding tissue. The beating is stopped when the centurian determines that the prisoner is close to death. He is then allowed to slump to the ground where a robe is placed upon His back and crown of thorns is pressed into His scalp. Again there is heavy bleeding due to the fact that the head is one of the most vascular places on the body. After mocking Him with His "septor" the guards take the stick from Him and begin hitting Him on the head driving the thorns deeper into His head. When they tire of this sadistic sport the robe is ripped from His back. Since it had already adhered to the clots of blood and the serum in His wounds tearing it away caused excrutiating pain (similar to that of a careless removal of a surgical bandage). This caused the wounds on His back to bleed again. By this time He was in shock. The nails were heavy, square and made of wrought iron. The arms are not stretched out tight and the knees are left slightly bent allowing for an up and down movement of the body. As He slowly sags down with more weight on the nails in the wrists, excruciating, fiery pains shoot along the fingers and and up the arms to explode int he brain - the nails in the wrists are putting pressure on the median nerves. As He pushes upward to avoid this torment He places His full weight on the nails in His feet. Again there is the searing agony of the nail tearing through the nerves between metatarsal bones of the feet. At this point another phenomenon accurs. As the arms fatigue, great waves of cramps sweep over the muscles, knotting them into deep, relentless, throbbing pain. With these cramps comes the inability to push Himself upward. Hanging by His arms, the pectorial muscles are paralyzed and the intercostal muscles in the chest are unable to act. Air can be drawn into the lungs, but cannot be exhaled. Jesus fights in order to raise Himself in order to get one short breath. Finally carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and the bloodstream and the cramps partially subside. Spasmodically, He is able to push upward to exhale and bring in the life giving oxygen. It was undoubtedly during these times that He was able to utter the seven short sentences which are recorded in the bible. Hours of these limitless cycles of intermittent partial asphyxiation, joint-rendng cramps and excruciating pain go by as His tissue is torn from His lacerated back by the rough timber of the cross when another agony begins - a deep crushing pain in the chest as the pericardium (the sac around the heart) slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. It is now almost over. The loss of tissue fluids has reached a critical level. The compressed heart is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood into the tissue. The tortured lungs are making a frantic effort to gasp in amall gulps of air. The markedly dehydrated tissues send their flood of messages to the brain. It is now that Jesus says "I thirst". He is offered a sponge soaked in Posca - a sour cheap wine - and refusses. He can feel the chill of death seeping through His body. "It is finished". With one last surge of strength He once again pressed His torn feet agianst the nail, straightens His legs, takes His last deep breath and utters His seventh and last cry "Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit. Apparently to make sure of death, the legionnaire drove his lance through the pericardium and into the heart. John 10:32 states that "immediately there came out blood and water". Thus there was an escape of water fluid from the pericardium and the heart. We, therefore, have conclusive post death evidence that Jesus died not the usual crucifixion death of suffocation but of heart failure due to shock and constriction of the heart by fluid in the pericardium. Parts were copied from a description by an unknown author. |

Steve, Thank you for your reply. I had no idea about Noahs sons. That was very interesting! I love Bible trivia like that! I'll be interested in more if you want to send them to me. (see my bio). Thanks, prayon | ||||||
148 | Were there 2 or 4 men hung on the cross | Matt 27:38 | prayon | 165351 | ||
Both men were sinners. However, during the time that they hung there one of the thieves learned the truth and repented. He is the one who then rebuked the other for his words. (Luke 23:39-40). It was then that Jesus told the man that today he would be with Him in paradise (v.43). prayon | ||||||
149 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | prayon | 41025 | ||
Greetings Searcher, Yes, in a sense God did forsake Him. When the sins of the world were laid upon Him during the hours of darkness He was alienated from God, just as sin in our lives alienates us from God. God saves us from our sin when we call on Him to do so. Jesus suffered in silence, bearing the weight Himself. He did not call out to Him until the cry in verse 46. Once He made that cry the Father came to Him and took away His burden. prayon | ||||||
150 | WAS JESUS FORSAKEN BY HIS FATHER? | Matt 27:46 | prayon | 41039 | ||
Greetings Ed, You have made some good points. At the moment when the sin of the world was laid upon Jesus spiritual fellowship with the Father and the Holy Spirit was broken. "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf" (2Cor 5:21). Where ever there is sin there is seperation from the Father. He had to of been seperated from the Father in some manner. How could one be in sin and still be one with God? I agree Jesus never acted in sin but He bore our sins. Sin is seperation from God. Our sins seperate us from God therefore when He took our sins (or 'seperateness' from God) He had to feel the same 'seperateness'. Maybe this is another one of those "ohhhhh soooo" questions. prayon |

153 | N.A. or not? | Mark 4:20 | prayon | 145240 | ||
Hi Angel, Why not bring Jesus name into the meeting? One should testify of the power of Jesus and His mercy whenever and wherever the opportunity arises. In testifying about God's goodness or allowing our light to shine (and not hide it under a bushel as the song goes) one never knows who will be led to Christ. prayon | ||||||
154 | N.A. or not? | Mark 4:20 | prayon | 145376 | ||
Hi Angel, Very true but I didn't mean to 'preach' the name of Jesus at the meetings. What I was referring to give God the glory whenever possible. For instance "Hi my name is ---- and Thanks to God I am free from narcotics". or "Because of the strength God gave me I am free of narcotics" You are right - to just walk in and preach could lead to problems. prayon |

156 | What animals are okay to eat? | Mark 7:15 | prayon | 61171 | ||
Greetings wolfrose, Acts 10 verse 10 tells us that Paul became very hungry while he was praying. He then fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet descend to earth. In this sheet were all types of 4 footed animals (both clean and unclean) of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. A voice came to him and it said: "Rise Peter, kill and eat". Peter at first refused. To him the command seemed all wrong. But then a voice came down and said "What God has cleansed you must not call common". God had previously set these dietary restrictions to keep the Israelites seperate from their idolatrous neighbors. The restrictions made it difficult for Jews to eat with Gentiles without risking defilement. This helped to keep the Jews and idolotrous Gentiles seperate. The new command abolished the OT dietary restrictions. In doing this God also made unity in the church between the Jews and the Gentiles. The above releases us from Lev 11 dietary restrictions. prayon | ||||||

Ed, I have just a one word reaction to the 2nd part of your answer - "AMEN"! I used to speed a lot until I had a Christian friend of mine pull me over and call me on the carpet about my speed and my bumper sticker. I am sending you an email you might enjoy, don't know if I have sent it before or not. prayon |

158 | who was Simon of Cyrene | Mark 15:21 | prayon | 41721 | ||
Greetings, You can come to this conclusion because both of his sons recognized the Christian church and Paul mentions Rufus with warm affection (Romans 16:13). The sons were probably young at this time since Simon must of been young and fit enough to carry the cross. I doubt that the soldiers would of chosen an older man to carry the heavy cross. Simon had to of encouraged them in the Christian faith. prayon | ||||||
159 | who was Simon of Cyrene | Mark 15:21 | prayon | 41865 | ||
Greetings Jensen, I am referring to the man who was force to carry the cross of Jesus. The information came from a bible class I am taking. I am sorry the notes did not give a source for the information. Also read my answer to angel1. Hope this helps you to see where I was coming from. In Christ, prayon | ||||||
160 | WILL YOU KNOW YOUR LOVE ONES IN HEAVEN | Luke | prayon | 2241 | ||
Also see 1Cor15:51-55. Here Paul tells us that at the sound of the trumpet we will rise and our bodies will be made imperishable -"THIS mortal body will put on immotality"(v.53). We will keep the same bodies but they will be made imperishable - no sickness, no handicaps, no limitations. ALLELUJA!!! | ||||||
