Bible Question: What I am mainly asking is how can we as a body disagree on something that important? I konw that it will happen, why it will and how it will, but nobody knows when. |
Bible Answer: Dear Heir of God, Jesus said that only the Father knew the time of Christ's return. Mark 13:32 "But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone". A word of caution. It is not a good to speculate about things when God Himself has closed His own mouth about them. That kind of activity has spead false doctrine thoughout the world. On the other hand it pleases God when His Children search what He has proclaimed in the Bible. But an understanding of the deep things of God, requires diligent and faithful study, not just short bursts of enthusiasm. Most importantly, we must rely on the Holy Spirit to enlighten our us. Even among the greatest of saints their are differing opinions. But that does not excuse any of us from seeking the truth for ourselves, for God has commanded us to search the Scritures, and that is all the reason we need. I hope I've helped a bit. Yours is a question that does not have a simple answer! Your Brother in Christ John Reformed |
