2781 | Will believers see great tribulation? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14771 | ||
Steve--I like your pat answer, that you want to be ready. Do you honestly know any true believers who don't want to be? I was looking for an answer from someone who is interested and knowledgeable about eschatology. As for Rev. 22:20, the word you call soon, is the Greek word (tachu), and is better translated quickley. Meaning when it all starts, it will be over very fast. This verb is discriptive of (how) not (when). Say like in, "the twinkling of an eye". God says it will happen, and as a result, I know for a fact it will happen. I don't want to be ready, that's future, I am ready. Since you mention Matt. 24:31, it is evident that you think He is comming to take us home after the tribulation, or didn't you read Matt.24:29,30? Keep studying! CDBJ | ||||||

I believe the Bible to mean what it says in it's most normal, natural, customary sense, taking into account that there are figures of speech. That in order to find the truth of doctrin, all scripture pertaining to a particular doctrin must be used, and there are no contradiction found in truth. I believe God's Word is infallible and that is why I ask in the first place, where do people find the imminency of the rapture in Scripture? I realize the word isn't in the Bible, but I find so much in opposition to it, that the consept it's even there, with all thing considered. You can't make up a doctrin from what it doesn't say. As you said, there are pretrib.,midtrib., and posttrib., they can't all be right. Yet all use the Bible to back up there position. There must be a common denominator that all the verses fit. We are a forum, lets find it! I don't want to be argumentative; I want the truth to prevail. We have more helps at our disposal then any other time in history. Who knows the truth of the timing of Christ return? CDBJ | ||||||

This is true, but things are going to get so bad that believers are going to be longing for the day of the Lord and they won't see it. Why do you think Christ said "Will I find faith when I come?" Believers are so sure that the won't go through any tribulattion, that when it comes there faith is going to be shattered!! Many times in scripture when it is talking about end time events, God has warned us not to let anyone deceive us. If we are removed before all this happens, why would He give us the warnings to watch out for deceivers? | ||||||
2784 | Like a thief to who? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14645 | ||
To Bannal--How do you deal with what Paul wrote in I Thessalonians 5:1-4 Where there are two groups of people mentioned, They and Ye; the unbelievers being they, and the believers being the ye. Paul say that belivers are not in darkness that the day of the Lord will overtake them like a thief. The reason being that there are signs that have been given to belivers to look for just before the Lord returns. Paul had drummed it into there heads so much that he says in 5:1 that you have no need that I write you. Maybe there is something in the doctrin of the Lord's return that you are not clear on? Unbelievers don't know enough to see or look for the signs, that's why Christ will come as a thief to them. The Disciples ask the question in Matt. 24:3 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world (age)? The very next verse is a warning from Christ not to let any man deceive you. The whole chapt. of Matt.24: has a comparative account in The Revelation of Christ. Look these up. (Matt.24:4 cf. Rev. 22:19 warning) (Matt.24:5 cf. Rev.6:1-2 false Christ) (Matt.24:6 cf. Rev.6:3-4 wars) (Matt.24:9,21 cf. Rev.6:7,8 The Great Trib.) (Matt.24:9,22 cf. Rev.6:9 death) (Matt.24:10,24 cf. Rev. Apostasy) (Matt.24:29 cf. Rev. 6:12-17 Sun moon and stars) (Matt.24:13,31 Cf. Rev.7:9-14 The rapture) (Matt.24:14,37-39 cf. Rev.8:1-7 The wrath of God) I hope this helps! CDBJ | ||||||
2785 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14627 | ||
To Tim--There are supposedly three groups that all believers fall into, Pretribulationist, Posttribulationist, and Prewrath. The only one that I have seen that doesn't have contradiction with Scripture is the prewrath position. When it come to a discrepancy in the timing of Christ return. All scripture on a particular subject have to be in line with each other for the result to be truth. Psalm 119:160 The sum of Your word is truth, (New American Standard) CDBJ | ||||||
2786 | Hebrews 6:4 | Heb 6:4 | CDBJ | 14621 | ||
To Tim Moran--Good point, I should have been looking at more then the KJV. to quote a verse. The if clause isn't in Heb. 6:6 in the Greek, good call. It's a good thing we have Heb.6:9-12 the former category will probably fall into what Jesus called the tares, in the "wheat and the tares " parable. CDBJ | ||||||
2787 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14619 | ||
I agree in part, but it only says "DAY and HOUR", or are you reading more into it then that? It seem to me that there was mention of a season some place, and that we would know when certain things start to happen, only then will the time be near. One sign being that the Jews would be back in there land occupying the Holy city. Now if that is the case, that means that Christ couldn't have returned untill after 1967. I.E. So much for imminency! |

Do you understand it to say that He will come like a thief for the believers? CDBJ | ||||||
2789 | Hebrews 6:4 | Heb 6:4 | CDBJ | 14600 | ||
One needs to under the construction in the Greek language that the New Testament was written in, when the word (if) is used. There are four classes, and the word if can mean the following. 1st class, if and it's true. 2nd. class, if and it's not true. 3rd. class maybe it's true and maybe it's not. 4th. class I wish it where true but it's not. The class condition that is found in Heb.6:6 is a 2nd class condition. I.E. It's not true. They are secure in Christ and nothing can change that position. Some use Heb.6:4-6 to say that, "see people can loose their salvation!" Well if that is the situation, they can't get it bak again because of v.6 and so much for I Jn.1:9 There is NO sin that Jesus didn't pay the price for, except the one of rejecting Him as there Savior. Now that doesn't mean that we are free to sin all we want, but that we are now free to serve. We will still sin because we are still locked in these bodys, but we are not to practice sin as we did before we were saved. Paul had this same problem, read Rom. 7 Now go back and read what it said in Heb.6:4 (IT"S IMPOSSIBLE)--I hope this helps! CDBJ | ||||||

2791 | Question still not answered | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14593 | ||
According to Scripture, Matt. 24:15 is the beginning of the great tribulation for believers in the World. This time will be cut short by the rapture. | ||||||
2792 | Question still not answered | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14564 | ||
I am glad that you are ready and I am also, but this doesn't answer my Question! Quickley just say how He will do it, when He does it, as 1900 plus years have proven. What about the whole chapter of Matt.24: This must take place first? | ||||||
2793 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14558 | ||
I would like to know where in the Bible, that it refers to the return of Christ as being imminent? i.e. There is no prophesy of Scripture to be fulfilled before Jesus returns! |

2794 | Curious of your perspective. | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14451 | ||
There are no direct answers to your question, only speculation. This is one of those questions like who did Cain take for a wife. We are commanded not to argue over vain genealogies that onyl lead to endless disputes. As for your question though, the most accepted answer to it, with out Biblical proof, is this. Before the flood there had not been mention of any rain. There was no mention of bacteria, or the results of it till after the flood. Noah drank some nice grape juice that he had made. The only problem was it became what we call fermented from the bacteria that was now present all over the World due to the flood. The bacteria must have been isolated till that time. Hence the spread of germs and mans life span goes down. This problem will go away when Jesus set up His Kingdom on Earth during the 1000 year Millenium. As a result mans life span is said to go back up. Praise The Lord again!! CDBJ |

2795 | salvation/baptism | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14368 | ||
Yes, baptism is required, but it is not what you think. All believers have received the bapt. of the Spirit and that is the one that counts. There are wet baptisms and dry ones, The wet ones are only ritual, the dry ones are real. Christ will baptize every one in a point of time. This will be with the Holy Spirit, when a person puts there faith in Jesus as there Savior or the other option: That is if a person rejects the work of Jesus an dies, he will receive the baptism of fire; Take your pick, (smoking or non smoking) Look at Matt.3:11,12 where John was speaking to the general public. Look at Eph.4:3-6 This speaks of unity and mentions "one" baptism. It is unity because it is done for us by Christ. Water baptism has caused division not unity. Don't worry about the bapt. of the Spirit, God handles that for us. That's one more thing that calls for trust in Him. Water bapt. is an outward expression on our part that we have believed in the finish work of Christ. The order is, believe and be baptized, as a witness to the World of your position in Christ. I hope this helps, CDBJ | ||||||
2796 | WHEN DID GOD CHANGE LIFESPAN OF MAN? | Bible general Archive 1 | CDBJ | 14359 | ||
The verse in Gen.6:3 isn't how long man will live, but a warninig that man only had 120 years left before God would destroy man and the Earth. Don't take text out of contex! Read the rest of the chapter. CDBJ | ||||||
2797 | God does not pour out veng. on His own! | Luke 21:22 | CDBJ | 14340 | ||
The Bible doesn't say that Jeusalem is the object.It is the answer to a question found in V.:7 What will be the sign. The same Question was recorder in Matt. 24:3 That tells us when Christ will return and the end of the age and the signs that will perceed His return. Later on in Luke 21:35 Christ says that the problem will be on the whole Earth. Matt. 24:21 Say that at that time it will the worst tribulation since the beginning of the World. This tribulstion mentioned therefore must be from Satan, because the flood, which was from God, was much worse. Thanks for the come back Nicodemus. CDBJ | ||||||
2798 | God does not pour out veng. on His own! | Luke 21:22 | CDBJ | 14093 | ||
