761 | Where in Bible are verses about Rapture? | 1 Thess 4:13 | prayon | 17516 | ||
Greetings Sannon! Matthew 25:3-13 also talks about the rapture in the form of the parable of the 10 bridesmaids. | ||||||
762 | Before or after the return of Christ? | 1 Thess 4:16 | prayon | 72144 | ||
Greetings, According to the Bible the first thing that will happen is the Lord will come with the sound of a trumpet and the believer's will be raptured. After that there will be 7 years of tribulation which will begin when the Roman antichrist signs a 7 year treaty with the Jews. During those 7 years 7 scrolls and 7 seals will be opend each one pronouncing a judgement that is worse than the last. After the 7 years of Tribulation Satan will be defeated at the battle of Armegeddon. Satan will then be imprisioned for 1000 years. This 1000 years are called the millennium reign. prayon | ||||||

764 | What's really going on? | 1 Thess 5:18 | prayon | 125075 | ||
Greetings, When you are healed you must walk in that healing - even when you are healed before the physical manifestation takes place. So many people do not believe that God will really heal you. The most important thing to receive a healing is you must have the faith that God did heal you. You turn faith loose by: Believing right Thinking right Making the right confession It is not a lack of power that hinders people, it is a lack of faith. Doubt also robs God’s people of their blessings. Here are the 4 steps Abraham used to work for him: 1) have God’s word for what you desire to receive from God 2) Believe God’s word 3) Consider not the contradictory circumstances 4) Give praise to God for the answer Whenever the illness tries to come back you must go into the warfare mode and deny what the physical is telling you and believe what God has told you and done for you. The devil will always try to use sickness as a way of decreasing your faith in God and your importance to Him. Hope this helps some. |

765 | will the church see the antichrist reign | 2 Thess 2:3 | prayon | 48318 | ||
Greetings Flo, I believe, and this is my own personal opinion, that we will see the antichrist before the rapture but we won't be aware that he is the antichrist. We will see his reign but we will see it from heaven. The great tribulation will happen during the antichrist's reign but I believe that God in His infinate mercy will rapture the believers before this happens. prayon | ||||||
766 | Are we losing our churches to satan? | 2 Thess 2:11 | prayon | 155858 | ||
Hi JWeaver and welcome to the forum! You are correct there is no such scripture, in fact, the bible clearly states that homosexuality is an abomination to the Lord. In 2Thes 2:3 it states that in the end times there will be a great falling away. Verse 9-12 says that that "the coming of the lawless one is, according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders". It goes on to say tthat there will be unrighteous deception among those who will perish because they did not accept the truth that they might be saved. In v 11 it warns us that God will send those people stong delusion, that they should believe the lie. There are many who love sin and pleasure and prefer to believe a lie rather than the truth. The MacArthur study bble explains it this way: "God Himself will send judgment that insures their fate in the form of a deluding influence so that they continue to believe what is false. They accept evil as good and a lie as the truth. Thus does God use Satan and the Antichrist as His instruments of judgment (1Kin 22:19-33)". This is what is happening today not only with the lie of homosexuality but with many other issues as well. Satan can and will use pastors and churches to deceive people just as he will use anyone else. prayon |

767 | How to correct ungodly co-workers? | 1 Tim 1:9 | prayon | 59095 | ||
Greetings Timothy Paul, First, and foremost, above all, I would pray. Pray that God would put the words in your mouth to say to them. I would also pray that God would touch their hearts with such an impact that they would be convicted to watch the words that come out of their mouths. If I was in that position, and I have been, I would tell them in a way that they can see Christ's love through you that when they use God's name in vain that it is very offensive to you because they are speaking about someone you love very much (or words to that effect). Then ask them if they would please not use those words while you are around. And remember at all times to let them see the light of God shining forth in your life so that they will want what you have. prayon |

768 | Pauls Authority | 1 Tim 1:20 | prayon | 61331 | ||
Greetings christian7, Paul said that he handed them over to Satan meaning that he has removed them from the church, thus ending their influence in the church and removing them from the protection and insulation of God's people. They were no longer under God's blessings but under the control of Satan. He did this so that Hymenaeus and Alexander would see how they had fallen into heresies and were attempting to shipwreck the faith of true believers. The ultimate purpose was not punishment but correction. The bible does not tell us how long they took before they learned their lesson. They may not of learned it at all. prayon | ||||||

770 | should women be ministers and pastors? | 1 Tim 2:12 | prayon | 35810 | ||
Greetings godsown76, I want to refer you to the question "Women in Ministry" that I answered for someone months ago. To get to it type in "Women in Ministy" in the search box and go to question 54 and 53 (or at least that was the numbers of them last time I looked) - the date was on July 7th of last year. I hope the answer will help you. prayon | ||||||
771 | What does 1 Tim 3:2 mean? | 1 Tim 3:2 | prayon | 6025 | ||
When Paul says that church leaders should be married only once, he is prohibiting both polygamy and promiscuity. This does not prohibit an unmarried man from becoming a leader or a widowed leader from remarrying. The main idea that Paul was focusing on here was that a leader must be pure in conduct, disiplined in habits, balanced in outlook, and free from those sins that mark the socity, and the age in which he lives. (Life Application Bible commentary) | ||||||
772 | A divorced pastor in ministry? | 1 Tim 3:2 | prayon | 6026 | ||
Yes. Paul was probably not referring here to having one wife in the entire lifetime but was instead referring to polygamy and promiscuity. His focus was the leader setting a strict personal discipline that was pure in conduct in their lives. | ||||||
773 | Why is a good reputaion so important? | 1 Tim 3:7 | prayon | 156531 | ||
Greetings Diomede, there is no guarentee that it does. We want to have a "good reputation" with non Christians because we are to be examples of Christ. We need to let the light of Christ shine in us so that those who are lost in darkness can find their way. Walking like Christ walked and having a solid foundation of the Word is what keeps us from falling into the snares of the enemy. prayon |

774 | deacons | 1 Tim 3:8 | prayon | 77923 | ||
Greetings, I would recommend that you go to Acts 6:1-7. The apostles were in the same position as you. This passage with give you an example that you can easily follow. prayon | ||||||
775 | what's the duty of an decon | 1 Tim 3:10 | prayon | 175237 | ||
Greetings Newwine64, Deacon. The office described by this title appears, in the New Testament, as the correlative of bishop. See Bishop. The two are mentioned together in Phm 1:1; 1Ti 3:2; 1Ti 3:8. Its original meaning implied a helper, an assistant. The bishops were the "elders," the deacons were the young active men, of the church. The narrative of Acts 6 is commonly referred to as giving an account of the institution of this office. The apostles, in order to meet the complaints of the Hellenistic Jews that their widows were neglected in the daily ministration, call on the body of believers to choose seven men "full of the Holy Ghost and of wisdom," whom they "may appoint over this business." It may be questioned, however, whether the seven were not appointed to higher functions than those of the deacons of the New Testament. Qualifications and duties. Special directions as to the qualifications for and the duties of deacons will be found in Acts 6, and 1Ti 3:8 12. From the analogy of the synagogue, and from the scanty notices in the New Testament, we may think of the deacons or "young men" at Jerusalem as preparing the rooms for meetings, distributing alms, maintaining order at the meetings, baptizing new converts, distributing the elements at the Lord's Supper.

776 | Define the visible church. | 1 Tim 3:15 | prayon | 7532 | ||
Hi Jvh, The visible church is the church that we can see. It is the church of the living God, a building. It is the church we go to to worship. It is also the "church" that one sees when they look at us. What we show as a Christian. prayon | ||||||
777 | wine and acohol | 1 Tim 5:23 | prayon | 111523 | ||
Greetings, Here are some scriptures that concern alcohol: Eph 5:18 -Don't get drunk on wine, which leads to wild living. Instead, be filled with the Spirit Pro 20:1 Wine makes people mock, liquor makes them noisy, and everyone under their influence is unwise. Pro 21:17 Whoever loves pleasure will become poor. Whoever loves wine and expensive food will not become rich. Pro 23:29-30 - Who has trouble? Who has misery? Who has quarrels? Who has a complaint? Who has wounds for no reason? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who drink glass after glass of wine and mix it with everything. Gal 5:19-21 - Now, the effects of the corrupt nature are obvious: ...... drunkenness, wild partying, and similar things. I've told you in the past and I'm telling you again that people who do these kinds of things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Rom 13:13 We should live decently, as people who live in the light of day. Wild parties, drunkenness, sexual immorality, promiscuity, rivalry, and jealousy cannot be part of our lives. Hope these are helpful. prayon |

778 | More info on Enuice and Lois | 2 Tim 1:5 | prayon | 125286 | ||
Greetings KAKMILL and welcome to the forum. I am not sure what you mean by "more" info on Eunice and Lois but Eunice was Timothy's mother and Lois was his grandmother. They both had great faith which helped prepare him for his ministry. There is only one verse in the bible that talks about Eunice and Lois - 2 Tim 1:5 Paul was talking to Timothy and stated " I'm reminded of how sincere your faith is. That faith first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. I'm convinced that it also lives in you". This one verse gives Eunice and Lois their immortality because it speaks of the excellent job they did in raising Timothy and instilling in him godly virtues. They had prepared him for great responsibilities well. It was from Eunice and Lois that Timothy obtained his intimate knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures, (2Ti 3:15). In addition the religious faith of the mother and grandmother had been handed down to Timothy in overflowing measure. Eunice and Lois seem to step right from the pages of the Bible and tell us that there is nothing more important in a mother's life than the early training of her child. Hope this clears up your question, if not please be more specific on what you would like to know. prayon |

779 | Send My messenger before Your face | 2 Tim 2:15 | prayon | 108979 | ||
Greetings Ray, In both Matthew and in Malichi we are looking for the messenger who is John the Baptist. "he will prepare the way before me". (see also Matt 3:3). My bible has messenger in both passages. prayon | ||||||
780 | Criticize what no one understands? | 2 Tim 2:23 | prayon | 7634 | ||
"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matt 1234b). I don't think that it is unfair to challenge another's assertions. Just as the bible can be interpreted in many ways so can many questions. What is important is how that we answer that question. We should always respond with respect for the other party. This is due any Christian whether we agree with them or not. If we answer it and have the entirely wrong interpretation of what was asked the author of the question has the duty to respond with a similar respect and restate the question. Who knows the answerer may learn something new and it could change their way of thinking and thus possibly their life. Their is also the option of the answerer asking the author to restate the question or ask is this truly what you were asking. |
