2761 | fallen angels called Nephlims and unicor | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 16056 | ||
The word Nephilim is found in Gen. 6:4, of the NAS, the KJV uses the word giants. It is speculated that a lot of Greek mythology stems from this era. I hope this helps, CDBJ | ||||||
2762 | is the NIV a good bible to read? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 16053 | ||
My church uses the NIV, I don't like it though. I like to study in the NAS, yet about everything that I have comitted to memory is out of the KJV. I actually use a lot of dif. translations including an Interlinear Greek - English New Testament. When it comes to word studies W.E. Vine has a book that is an expository of new Testament words, that's hard to beat for starters. Just remember that the foot notes in any Bible help, but they are not inspired. The best why to understand what Scripture is saying, is by checking it out with other scripture on the same subject. I hope this may help. CDBJ | ||||||
2763 | The Wrath to Come | 1 Thess 1:10 | CDBJ | 16037 | ||
I am pre-mil, but not pretrib. There is too much Scripture that refutes the pretrib. position. Actually the pretrib. concept didn’t show up until late in the 17th Century. The early church fathers didn’t share this view at all. CDBJ | ||||||
2764 | if someone take there own life where wil | NT general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 16003 | ||
What sin didn't Jesus die for? He paid for all but one sin, and that one sin is that of rejecting Jesus Christ as there Savior. Since Christ died for all our sin, the issue isn't sin, but what think yea of Christ. As long as we are still in the body of sin, even though we are saved, we will commit sins. That's why we have I John 1:9 This is a verse that keeps us in fellowship with God. As long as the person that sined in what ever way, was a true believer in Jesus they have eternal life. God knows what sins that we are going to commit after we saved and they don't come as a great shock to Him. Just because we do something dumb at a point of weakness isn't going to change God's mind about saving us! Just because we are weak does't mean that God changes His mind about saving us. Now that is real love. CDBJ | ||||||
2765 | The Wrath to Come | 1 Thess 1:10 | CDBJ | 16002 | ||
Don't confuse man's wrath, directed by Satan, with God's wrath. There was nothing supernatural about what happened today. The first six seals in Revelation are from Satan through man, God's wrath doesn't start until the seventh seal is finally broken. Look at verse Rev. 6:17. God seals His chosen ones that are to go through His wrath on earth, and the Elect are taken home. But before we are removed though, we will go through a lot of satanic activity. Just pray that you may accounted worthy to escape those things that are about to happen on the Earth. We are told to pray to escape Satan's wrath, not God's. The true believer in Jesus, that is trusting in Christ for his salvation, will not suffer the wrath of God! CDBJ |

2766 | Familiar Spirits | 1 John | CDBJ | 15999 | ||
Try I John 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. CDBJ |

2767 | Unbaptized children | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 15976 | ||
If a person must be baptized in (water) before they get to Heaven, do you suppose that Christ might have made a mistake when He told the thief on the cross next to Him that, this day you will be with me in paradise? CDBJ | ||||||
2768 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 15134 | ||
The 3 major positions only use bits and peaces to try and prove thier point. In the prewrath format, all of the verses of Scripture, that pertain to end time events, are in perfect harmony and there are no contradictions, from the book of Genesis through Revelation; seeing that, was enough to convince me. If all the peaces fit around a peace of puzzle and the color is right, you must have the right peace. I have several friends that have read the book, who believed very firmly in the pretribulation concept, that have become prewrath, in there eschatology. It is hard to dispute something when it all adds up. The so-called imminency of the Christ return is relatively new, as far as church history goes: The prewrath concept was actually taught by Paul.

When it comes to Eschatology, if believers have to be put in some kind of a pigeon hole, pretrib., midtrib., posttrib. They are overlooking a position, and that is prewrath. We all know that, whatever people stand on, in regard to the last days, that they get it from Scripture. They can't all be right, or can they? We know that God's Word is infallible; yet we appear to see contradictions. Jim says that 1/3 is right, Bill says it's 1/8, so who is right? They are both right, but they don't know how to tie it together until the see the common denominator, which is 24. The prewrath position is that common denominator. I've always been interested as to what will happen in the future ever since I trusted in Jesus about 35 years ago. I use to spend hours pouring over books on Eschatology, but there were always loose ends that didn't fit just right. Whenever I went into the local Christian bookstore I would always look in the prophecy section to see if there was anything that I hadn't read yet. I came across a book called The Rapture Question Answeered plain and simple by Robert VanKampen. On the same shelf was a book called the Pre-wrath Rapture of the Church By Marvin Rosenthal. I hadn't read either one of these, so I bought them both. In reading the first book, my eyes were opened to truth that I had never seen before. This guy found the common denominator, and I didn't want the book to end. Upon reading the second book, I was dumbfounded; He was in perfect agreement with the first book. I learned that VanKampen had a book that went into minute details, called The Sign. Well needless to say I had to get a copy of that and read it. It has over 500 pages with a full color fold out of illustrations. The in-depth study on the book of Revelation is very clear, which in my mind was hard to do. By the time I had finished the book I was no longer pretribulationial, but prewrath. Short of me writing you a 500 page note, prewrath would be hard for me to explain in its entirety. CDBJ |

Nolan-- Sorry about Isa.2:27, it must have been a senior moment where I meant to hit the #1 key but hit the 2 instead. It should have been Isa.2:17 where the Lord only will be exalted in that day. As for the believers not going through the wrath of God, Check out I Thess. 1:10. I think I should have been in bed when I was up trying to communicate on the pc; the old noggin doesn't work too well when it's tired. "Lord teach me to know how frail I am" Yours in Christ CDBJ | ||||||

Rev.12:12 "For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time." This is his last fling. The second coming of Christ is not a verb but a noun, it is the Greek word, PAROUSIA. It is an event just like His first coming which took aprox. 33 years. His second parousia starts with the rapture of the church and last thru the final battle of Armageddon. The wrath of God by definition is against the wicked, when “The lord alone will be exalted” Isa.2:27 The wrath of Satan, Antichrist, “exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he take his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God” II Thess. 2:4 Scripture teaches that Antichrist persecution will be aginst the elect of God (Matt.24:21-22), against His saints (Rev. 13:7) against those “who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus”(Rev. 12:17)! Look at (Zeph. 1:17b-18) Believers will never be on the receiving end of God's wrath. CDBJ |

I don't see it that way. The wrath that is taking place during the lasts 42 months, is not from God but from the Wicked one. The affliction that those believers will go through is going to be dealt with along with the affliction of those in II Thess. 1:6-10 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. The only ones to escape, are the ones that are sealed in Rev.7:1-9 Just before the rapture. Did you notice the timing of the rapture in II Thess. 1;10 (WHEN) CDBJ |

This will be the end of what is called the times of the gentiles, when the rapture takes place. The period that Paul speaks of in Rom. 25:26-27 For I do not want you to be uninformed of this mystery so that you will not be wise in your own estimation that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “The Deliverer will come out from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.” “This is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” The answer to your question is a definite YES!

Tim—I think we must have two prewrath concepts, or for that mater what constitutes God’s wrath and Satan’s wrath. I think that when antichrist establishes a covenant with Israel, that Daniel’s 70th week will start. The believers at that time will have 42 mo. to prepare for what is coming. At the mid point of the 70th week the antichrist will reveal who he really is and demand the worship of the World, i.e. the abomination of desolation. The Jew’s won’t worship antichrist and neither will the elect. This will start the great tribulation that is mentioned in Matt.24:21. The verse in Rev. 12:12, Shows it from the devil’s view point, and the short time, spoken of, is the last 3 1/2 years or 42 mo. The great tribulation and the time of Jacob’s trouble are running concurrent. The Lord will cut short the tribulation of the believers, with the rapture of his elect; this will happen some where in the last half of the 70th week. Daniel’s 70th week keeps going on though or it wouldn’t be a full 70 weeks. The verse in II Thess. 2:8 where the Lord will destroy the Wicked one with the brightness of His coming; the word for destroy, is KATARGEO, a better rendition would be to make useless, or of no effect: The reason being that the object of the Wicked one has just been removed, i.e. the rapture.

I am sorry if that is how I seem to be coming across. I certainly don't want to be judge mental, I have enough problems with out being disciplined for that. There are so many believers that don't know what is going to happen in the future in regard to the last days. Peter talks about it in I Pet.1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: The message that is going out all over the World today is that the elect won't have to go through all of this, and it just isn't so. I have a very heavy burden for other believers to find the truth about the last days. It might not be for many years to come, I don't know, but the Lord has put the burden on my heart. I guess I kind of know how Jeremiah must have felt for the Jews of his day. The warnings are many, but people just don't want to hear about it. It will be so bad, that believers will think that they missed the rapture and they will be turning to false Christ. After all they will say we are not suppose to be going through all of this, maybe our belief about Christ was wrong! There doesn't seem to be many like Paul found in Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Oh well, CDBJ |

Debbie you right when you say no one can give a date, because it is not known exactly when Christ will return. But there are signs to distingush certain things that have to happen before He can return, thus eliminating a term that is called imminency. I haven't talked to a handfull of Christians that know, that on the very day that Christ rescues the believers from the earth, that God will begin to pour out His wrath on those that are left behind. There is even a book out that goes by that title, so that unbelievers if they read it, might think they have a second chance when all the believers seem to vanish away. They will have as much chance as those that were left after the ark was shut. God's wrath came that very same day in the form of rain. God's wrath came the very day that Lot left Sodom. He almost got his shirt tail burnt on the way out, but God delivered him just before the fire came down. These will be tempting times that will try the faith of many believers. Look at what II Pet.2:9 has to say. Then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgement, There are many who think that the rapture will be a secret thing. The most glorius event in history will be taking place that shows the World who Christ is, and they say it will be a secret event, I don't think so!! Rev.1:7 every eye will see Him.

Well it seems that the Lord has a different idea, that's why there is more on the end time events in the Bible then any other doctrin. Every thing you mentioned is very commendable but the subject wasn't on Christian service. Keep up the good work it sounds like a motivation of love. I read the FOXE'S BOOK OF MARTYRS about 30 years ago that edition was enough for me. Have you ever read a book called, THE SIGN by Robert VanKampen, it is a real eye opener? CDBJ | ||||||

Are you ready for Matt.24:15 The abomination of desolation. Hitler was easy compaired to how this guy is going to treat the elect. This isn't God's wrath that believers will be going through, but Satan's, that why we will be longing for Christ return. Tell me how believers are longing for Christ return while riding around on waterskis on a nice 80 degree day after enjoying a nice lunch fixed on a shore fire. Or maybe it will be the one who just saw his best friend get his head cut off because he was telling a lost neighbor about Christ and even then it was on an empty stomach because he couldn't buy food to eat with out a certain mark! That's how it's going to be different. People sure arn't getting this message today and as a result when it happens believers won't be ready. They that endure till the end shall be delivered by the rapture not before. In fact it is going to be so bad that the Lord will shorten those day for the elects sake. Knowing what to look will make it a lot easier. | ||||||
