2 Corinthians 9:6-7 "New Testament believers are never commanded to tithe. Matthew 22:15-22 and Romans 13:1-7 tell us about the only required giving in the church age, which is the paying of taxes to the government... "The guideline for our giving to God and His work is found in 2 Corinthians 9:6-7: "Now this I say, he who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver." (www.gty.org Click on Issues and Answers.

"2. The Olivet Discourse "It was the Lord, Jesus Christ, who taught about the sign of His second coming on the Mount of Olives during the final week of His life on earth. What He said ought to parallel what the Scripture teaches in other places, since Christ is the author of the visions of Daniel (cf. Dan. 10:5-6; compare with Rev. 1:13-16), the instruction in the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24:1:1ff) and the book of Revelation (cf. Rev. 1:1ff). When the *sequence* in Matthew 24:3-31 is examined, it will be found to parallel what Paul taught in I Thessalonians 4-5 and II Thessalonians, particularly chapters one and two, and what we read in Revelation.

326 | Judas Iscariot saved our not? | Rom 10:9 | Radioman2 | 80638 | ||
After Peter denied knowing Jesus, he later was filled with the Holy Spirit and under his preaching 5,000 men "who heard the word believed." It is said that Peter and virtually every other (true) Apostle died a martyr's death for their testimony and the cause of Christ. After Judas betrayed Christ, he allegedly repented of his sin, then to prove the sincerity of his repentance went out and committed another sin -- suicide. By their fruits you shall know them. Is suicide the fruit of the Spirit or the works of the flesh? Are converts and proven Christian character the fruit of the Spirit or the works of the flesh? All the "faith without works is dead" people, to be consistent, would have to recognize that, when comparing the two, there is a distinct difference between Judas, the "son of perdition" who went to "his own place", and Peter -- the Apostle, human author of two NT books and Christian martyr. |

(2) He made ineffectual struggles to escape, by attempting to return the reward to the Pharisees, and when they would not receive it, he cast it down at their feet and left it. (Matthew 27:5) But, (a) restitution of the silver did not undo the wrong; (b) it was restored in a wrong spirit, --a desire for relief rather than hatred of sin; (c) he confessed to the wrong party, or rather to those who should have been secondary, and who could not grand forgiveness; (d) "compunction is not conversion." (3) The money was used to buy a burial-field for poor strangers. (Matthew 27:6-10) (4) Judas himself, in his despair, went out and hanged himself, (Matthew 27:5) at Aceldama, on the southern slope of the valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem, and in the act he fell down a precipice and was dashed into pieces.

Judas was not saved. Betraying Christ and then committing suicide are not exactly evidences of genuine saving faith. Judas went to "his own place" (Acts 1:25). NASB Acts 1:25 "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." AMPLIFIED Acts 1:25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place. Matthew Henry "25. that he might go to his own place--A euphemistic or softened expression of the awful future of the traitor" (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/JamiesonFaussetBrown). "from which Judas by transgression fell, threw himself, by deserting and betraying his Master, from the place of an apostle, of which he was unworthy, that he might go to his own place, the place of a traitor, the fittest place for him, not only to the gibbet, but to hell—this was his own place. "Note, Those that betray Christ, as they fall from the dignity of relation to him, so they fall into all misery. It is said of Balaam (Num. 24:25) that he went to his own place, that is, says one of the rabbin, he went to hell. "Dr. Whitby quotes Ignatius saying, There is appointed to every man idios topos — a proper place, which imports the same with that of God’s rendering to every man according to his works. And our Saviour had said that Judas’s own place should be such that it had been better for him that he had never been born (Mt. 26:24)—his misery such as to be worse than not being. "Judas had been a hypocrite, and hell is the proper place of such; other sinners, as inmates, have their portion with them, Mt. 24:51.

337 | Did Jesus go to hell? | 1 Peter | Radioman2 | 80334 | ||
'While historic Christianity has debated the issue of whether or not Jesus actually descended into hell (e.g., to proclaim the gospel, declare victory, etc. [1 Peter 3:18-19), no orthodox believer ever held to the belief that Christ suffered and atoned for our sins in hell, rather than on the cross. 'Yet, Word of Faith teachers, including Joyce Meyer, teach the necessity of Jesus having to pay for our sins in hell, under the torment of Satan and his angels -- a teaching both unsubstantiated by and contrary to Scripture. The entirety of Christ’s atoning work (i.e., His suffering and death in our place) occurred on the cross (e.g., 1 Peter 2:24), ending with His proclamation, “It is finished” (John 19:30). The Christ of Faith theology literally had to become sin, taking on the nature of Satan while in hell, thereby needing to be born again in hell before His resurrection could occur.'

338 | What does end of age mean? | Matt 24:3 | Radioman2 | 80293 | ||
Question: 'The disciples asked JESUS, "AND WHAT WILL BE THE SIGN OF YOUR COMING, AND OF THE END OF THE AGE". MATTHEW 24:3 WHAT IS THIS QUESTION IN REFERENCE TO?' An answer: NASB Matthew 24:3 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" 'The beginning of the Olivet Discourse 'Mat 24 with Luke 21:20-24 answers the threefold question. The order is as follows: "when shall these things be?"--i.e. destruction of the temple and city. Answer: Luke 21:20-24. 'Second and third questions: "And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?" Answer: Matthew 24:4-33. 'Verses 4 to 14 have a double interpretation: They give '(1) the character of the age--wars, international conflicts, famines, pestilences, persecutions, and false Christs ((cf) Daniel 9:26). 'This is not the description of a converted world. '(2) But the same answer (Matthew 24:4-14) applies in a specific way to the end of the age, viz. (that is to say; namely) Daniel's seventieth week. Daniel 9:24-27. (See Scofield "Daniel 9:24") . 'All that has characterized the age gathers into awful intensity at the end. Verse 14 has specific reference to the proclamation of the good news that the kingdom is again "at hand" by the Jewish remnant (Isaiah 1:9; Revelation 14:6,7). (See Scofield "Romans 11:5") . 'Verse 15 gives the sign of the abomination, (See Scofield "Daniel 9:27") , the "man of sin," or "Beast" (2 Thessalonians 2:3-8; Daniel 9:27; 12:11; Revelation 13:4-7). 'This introduces the great tribulation (Psalms 2:5; Revelation 7:14, note), which runs its awful course of three and a half years, culminating in the battle of Revelation 19:19-21, note, at which time Christ becomes the smiting Stone of Daniel 2:34. 'The detail of this period (Matthew 24:15-28) is: '(1) The abomination in the holy place (Matthew 24:15); '(2) the warning (Matthew 24:16-20) to believing Jews who will then be in Jerusalem; '(3) the great tribulation, with renewed warning as to false Christs (Matthew 24:21-26); '(4) the sudden smiting of the Gentile world-power (Matthew 24:27,28); '(5) the glorious appearing of the Lord, visible to all nations, and the regathering of Israel (Matthew 24:29-31); '(6) the sign of the fig-tree (Matthew 24:32,33); '(7) warnings, applicable to this present age over which these events are ever impending (Matthew 24:34-51; Phil 4:5). 'Careful study of Dan 2, 7, 9, and Rev 13 will make the interpretation clear. See also, "Remnant" (Isa 1:9; Romans 11:5).' Scofield, C.I. "Scofield Reference Notes on Matthew 24".

'The concept that Christ could return at "any moment" since His departure back to heaven is simply not taught anywhere in the entire Bible.' - - - - - - - - - - Does the Bible Teach an "Any Moment" Rapture? I will address your first question: "1. Jesus will come again only after several events have come to past as stated in the bible. So, He will not come to-night, next week nor the week after?" - - - - - - - - - - 'WHAT ABOUT IMMINENCY? '...the doctrine of imminency is nowhere taught in Scripture. The concept that Christ could return at "any moment" since His departure back to heaven is simply not taught anywhere in the entire Bible. Not one of the passages used to sustain imminency, actually teach imminency. Expectancy, yes. Imminency (an any-moment rapture), no. If imminency had been the concept that the writers had wanted to convey, it could have and would have been clearly stated (in fact 19th century promoters of pretribulationism initially taught expectancy rather than imminency for this reason). In addition, there were many events prophesied by Christ, known throughout the Christian world at that time, that still had to occur before He could return, such as the destruction of the Temple (Lk. 21:6) and the death of Peter (Jn. 21:18-19). Imminency was an impossibility until the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. 'Likewise, Christ taught that His rescue of the elect of God will occur "on the same day" that His wrath will begin upon the wicked that remain (Lk 17:26-30). There is no gap of time between the rapture and His wrath. If the seventieth week of Daniel is really the wrath of God, as pretribulationism maintains, and the seventieth week begins with Israel's covenant with Antichrist (Dan. 9:27), then Israel must be back in the land and Antichrist must be on the world scene before the Rapture, a simple deduction which once again destroys the unbiblical concept of imminency. But the prewrath position has no problem with any of these passages, including Revelation 12:12, where the persecution of Antichrist against the "elect" of God during the great tribulation is not called the wrath of God, but rather, the wrath of Satan. Pretribulationism makes Antichrist's persecution of God's elect the wrath of God. Prewrath rapturism sees this great persecution as the wrath of Satan (Rev. 12:12 being the proof text). Antichrist's persecution of God's elect is never the wrath of God (Mt. 24:21-22; Rev. 12:7; 13:7; 14:12-13).' (Questions for a Pretribulationist 'By Robert Van Kampen and Rev.
