62 | going to heaven | 1 Cor 15:1 | Listener | 16450 | ||
The following verses indicate that when we "sleep" in Christ we (our souls only) go to be with him. When our bodies are resurected at the second coming (1 Thess. 4:16-18) they are made perfect and we are complete. 2 Corinthians 5 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15 50 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. |

63 | Rapture vs. Glorious Appearing? | Matt 24:27 | Listener | 16448 | ||
The rapture and the glorious appearing are linked in scripture. The "stealth rapture" makes an interesting twist at the box office I cannot find a home for the idea in the scriptures. The following verse indicates the sound of his coming and the rapture: 1 Thessalonians 4 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a ***loud command***, with the ***voice of the archangel*** and with the ***trumpet call of God***, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. The following equates the blessed hope of the rapture and the glorious appearing: Titus 2 13looking for the ***blessed hope and glorious appearing*** of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, The following equates His coming and the rapture: John 14 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, ***I will come again and receive you to Myself***; that where I am, there you may be also. The following indicate the visibility of his coming: Matthew 24 27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Revelation 1 7Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. The following indicates the glory of his coming at the time when he gives rest to the saints (the rapture) 2 Thessalonians 1 6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. |

64 | Was Mohammed a man of peace or war? | Bible general Archive 1 | Listener | 16442 | ||
Was Mohammed a man of violence himself? Do the Muslims view him as such? What does the Koran specifically say about violence? | ||||||
65 | Is Israel still chosen? | Joel 3:20 | Listener | 16439 | ||
You are absolutely correct. The scriptures promise that David's kingdom will be established forever. They promise that God will establish Israel as the most blessed kingdom of all time. God is not finished with Israel. The very existance of Israel is a marvelous witness to the faithfullness of God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has preserved Israel through the terrorism of the Muslims, the holocaust, the diaspora - and they will always remain as a witness to the faithfulness of God. The verse below is just one example. The minor prophets are full of kingdom promises specific to Israel. 20But Judah shall abide forever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21For I will acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted; For the LORD dwells in Zion |

66 | Why is "laying on of hands" so important | Heb 6:2 | Listener | 16431 | ||
Hebrews 6:1-2 lists several "foundational" principles: repentance, baptism, resurrection and judgement. These are clearly basic christian doctrines. But why is the laying on of hands included? What makes it as basic as the others? | ||||||
67 | Will I go to heavan | Eph 2:8 | Listener | 16427 | ||
When this type of doubt comes to me there are three things that give me assurance. The first one is the book of 1 John. It is short and straightforward, and addresses this issue. One verse is quoted below. The second thing that helps me is to confess my sin, and appeal before God to the finished work of Christ, and submit to Him as Lord. This is much like my first real prayer when I accepted Jesus into my heart. The antidote for doubts about salvation is to walk with Jesus day by day. To spend time alone with Him (in Bible reading and prayer), to worship Him with other believers, to walk in loving obedience to Him and to share His love with others. I am not consistent, but find that when I do the above it develops the "personal relationship", and minimizes the doubts of salvation. May God bless you as you seek His face. 1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. |

68 | Word of God equal to food in NT | Matt 4:4 | Listener | 16423 | ||
There are a couple of passages where milk is synonymous with elementary principles of God's word. Meat (or solid food) seems to refer to advanced principles of the word: 1 Peter 2 2as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, Hebrews 5 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 1 Corinthians 3 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. |

69 | Word of God equal to food in NT | Matt 4:4 | Listener | 16422 | ||
The following refers to Jesus, the Living Word of God (John 1): John 6 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." 52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" 53 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. |
