Bible Question:
In Rev. 3:16 does "lukewarm' mean complacency? Could it be speaking about someone, or some church who is cooling down spiritually? Could it be referring to a person, or church who was once on fire for the Lord, but is not any longer hot, but lukewarm and in danger of becoming cold? Or could it be referring to someone or some church, who began in the faith, but is no longer progressing and who are not experiencing an increase in the spiritual climate or temperature within the body of believers? Or _______________ you fill in the blank In Christ zach† |
Bible Answer: Hi zach† This is, I believe, talking about churches, not individuals. He will spew the church out of his mouth, disband everyone and send them off to other churches. Jesus does not spew single Christian out of his mouth. Eternal life means just that, Eternal. There is "neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" Amen. This Church is neither excited for, nor antagonistic towards the Lord. The chief minister is answerable for his flock if he have not faithfully warned the members of it. JFB Love in Christ Barry |
