Bible Note: ..."Brace yourself, I'm NOT taking that verse out of context. Perfection has come, just like He said He would. Shocking? It shouldn't be. His disciples flat out ask Jesus when he is going to return and Jesus flat out tells them within 40 years. Jesus IS on the Throne, again, just like he said." If perfection has come, why is there more sin in this world than probably ever before as the bible states in Matthew 24:37, "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah." Notice that it says "the coming" not "when I am here". As far as I am concerned in this day and age is far from perfection, and the bible states very clearly that when he returns to earth this world will be perfect. What we refer to as the lords prayer it states thy kingdom come, THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" You honestly think all this sin in the world today is his will? The bible states that satan is the "god of this world" (2cor 4:4) In order to believe what you do you would have to say this verse is no longer true and if that is the case why is there still sin? In Rev 1:7, "BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen." I personally have never seen Him. I have no clue what He looks like. And I think the main reasons why I don't know what He looks like is because I have never seen Him and because the bible doesn't tell us what He looks like except His hands, feet and side are peirced. How could Jesus clearly tell His disciples that He would be back in 40 years? When He didn't know Himself. "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone." (Mat. 24:36) Explain to me if Jesus came back 40 years after He left in Acts 1 why is it that John wrote the book of Revelation which clearly states the day of the Lord and the day of perfection when John didn't write the book until after 90 A.D. probably closer to 95 A.D.? This is what I believe because this is what the bible states He is sitting at the right hand of God (Mark 16:19; Luke 22:69; Acts 2:33; Acts 5:31;Acts 7:55,56; Rom. 8:34; Col 3:1; Heb 10:12; Heb 12:2; 1Pet 3:22) ..."I agree, but one, who says those people really needed to be healed. And two, I don't deny that God is all powerful, He does as He pleases. However, spiritual gifts as a whole have passed, again, just as the Bible says." Out of the book of Acts and Revelation? show me. The bible states in 1pet 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (KJV) I guess that verse no longer applies according to your theology. Just one more thought. If the gifts have ceased where do you draw the line. At salvation? or has that GIFT ceased as well? Also have you ever gotten a cold or the flu? And are no longer sick? If healings have ceased tell me this how are you cured? |
