41 | Is the first resurrection, the rapture? | Bible general Archive 1 | sisterkath | 75174 | ||
Rapture is not meantioned in the Bible. I use a number of Bibles, but for my personal use, I use The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. |

42 | The "DIVINE ORDER" ? | 1 Cor 1:1 | sisterkath | 75129 | ||
You referred to verses, that make alot of sense. But how can you over look, 1 Corinthians 11:3, when it says; in turn the head of the Christ is GOD? The New American Bible says; "But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and a husband the head of his wife, and GOD the head of Christ. Therefore; GOD is actually head over all. |

44 | Caleb was a man filled with the Spirit. | Num 14:24 | sisterkath | 75111 | ||
The NIV Study Bible, says at Numbers 14:24: "my servant Caleb has a different spitit," Caleb seems to be singled out; perhaps the words of vv. 7-9 were his, and he was joined in them by Joshua. Caleb's ultimate vindication came 45 years later. (see note on 13:22; see also Jos 14:10) 13:22-----Hebron. The first city the spies came to in Canaan. The parenthetical comment about the city's being built seven years before Zoan in Egypt may have been prompted by their amazement at the size and fortifications of the city that was so closely associated with the lives of their ancestors four centuries before this time. In the stories of the ancestors of their people, Hebron had not been a great city, but a dwelling and trading place for shepherds and herdsmen. desecendants of Anak---Three notable Anak descendents are mentioned as living at Hebron. The Anakites were men of great statue, their physical size brought fear to the peoples. In a later day of faith, Caleb was to drive them from their city (Jos. 15:14; Jdg 1:10) Jos 14:10-----"Now then, just as the LORD promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the desert. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! |

Sorry Searcher, I said CDBJ. About the Resurrected at Revelation 20:4,6. "I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Happy and holy is anyone having part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years." As clearly stated, it is not "the rest of the dead" who share in the first resurrection. That resurrection is for those who rule with Christ for the thousand years. Does this mean that no others of mankind will live during the thousand years except the ones who rule in heaven with Christ? No; because, if such were the case, it would mean that there was no one on behalf of whom they were serving as priests, and their domain would be a desolate globe. Who are "the rest of the dead"? They are all those of mankind who died as a result of Adamic sin and those who, though survivors of the great tribulation or those who may be born during the Millennium, need to be relieved of the death-dealing effects of such sin. Compare Ephesians 2:1. NWT. Reasoning from the Scriptures. |

Hi CDBJ, The word "Rapture" does not accur in the inspired Scriptures. But I know you are refering to 1 Thessalonians 4:17, where it states; Afterward we the living who are surviving will, together with them, be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Verse 15 says, these are the faithful ones "who are left until the coming of the Lord," [they are still living at the time of Christ's coming]. They will instantly be "caught up," in the twinkling of an eye, to be with the Lord. (1 Cor. 15:51,52) The Oxford Bible Commentary says, "Here we have a futurist myth derived partly from Israelite tradition but given a new slant in the context of the belief in Christ's death and resurrection which saw him exalted to the right hand of God (Acts 2:33; Rom 8:34). The myth deals with Christ's descent (based on his preceding ascent to God) which presupposes a first-century cosmology in which heaven is located above the earth. The cry of command is probably to be taken as uttered by Jesus and as addressed to the dead that they should rise. A trumpet also appears in connection with resurrection and the end time at 1 Cor 15:52 (also see Isa 27:13; Zeph 1:14-16). While most myths relate to past events, helping a particular group to gain access to its formative, primordial past, a myth of the future such as this is rather different. It serves to stress the goal rather than the basis of a social order and thus has a presciptive rather than a proscriptive function. Paul's Thessalonian converts would have been reassured by the details of this narrative that another order of reality existed, and that the difficult events of their present and recent past were occurring within a context controlled by heavenly forces who would ultimately restore their fortunes beyond their wildest dreams. Yet although the creation of hope in a future vindication forms part of such mythopoiesis, it is not the end of the story. For a futurist myth such as this also creates an imaginary experience in the present of that which is to come, and thus reinforces the social identity of its addressees at a time when they are exposed to external threat. |

51 | Is Jesus Gods son? | Matt 3:17 | sisterkath | 71007 | ||
At John 17:3; [Jesus prayed to his Father]: This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God ["who alone art truly God," NE], and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." (Notice that Jesus referred not to himself but to his Father in heaven as "the only true God) John 20:17,RS: "Jesus said to her [Mary Magdalene], 'Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." (So to the resurrected Jesus, the Father was God, just as the Father was God to Mary Magdalene. Interestingly, not once in Scripture do we find the Father addressing the Son as 'my God.")
