Bible Question: my christian mother has a friend that she has known for years that is a Jehovah's Witness . When my mom recently asked her to go to church with her, her friend told her to read Revelation 18:4. I am confused, because... well they have been friends for over 12 years, and my moms friend invites us to church all the time... and ALWAYS talks about her Jehovah Witness beliefs and such. 18:4.... I am amazed! Most the time she is such a nice kind hearted woman... What would you think she meant by this? |
Bible Answer: Im not entirely sure what she might have meant but I will give it a shot. Reading the verses before it talks about how much the world is partaking in sin and verse 4 is a command for christians to come out of it. This all happening during the period of tribulation where the antichrist has hold over the world. Now dont go running off quoting me but this is the only thing I could imagine she would mean with giving you the verse. First I quote the verse. Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. If someone were to throw that at me after inviting them to church I would assume that they were tying to make it a metaphor by saying that the church they were being invited to was sinful. That said they are saying it is sinful and they are not going to it as this verse says to seperate from a sinful world or that they are trying to say you shouldnt. Idk. The best thing to do is just ask her, If God be for us who can be against us. |
