Bible Question:
I have been a christian for a few years now. It seems the more I study the bible the more question I have. Is it because I don't have enough faith? Or is it I don't study the bible enough. Here are some of my questions: 1. Do all the christians look forward to the second coming of Christ? If they do, that means the whole world would suffer according to the bible. 2. Do all the christians live for the time of rapture? 3. I think it is kind of sad if a christian suddenly disappear to go to meet Christ and leave his/her love ones. Would he/she been sad? 4. What do we do when we are in heaven? If there is no sickness nore saddness, would we know it is good? Would we be bored? 5. Once a christian goes to heaven, does he/she still possess human charateristics? 6. If a christian is bored while he/she in heaven, would he/she be temped by Satan again, like Eve got tempted by the snake? |
Bible Answer: Questions are wonderful, because they lead to answers. It also means that you are actually THINKING about your faith. :) Here are some answers: 1. Christians should look forward to the Second Coming, which is the culmination of history when sin and death are finally conquered once and for all, and we begin our eternity in glory. See 1 Corinthians 5 and Philippians 3:20-21 for an understanding of why His Second Coming is our home-going. 2. The answer to this question seems to be the same as the one for #1. 3. Not all Christians believe in a pre-tribulational Rapture in which people get "left behind." 4. No boredom in heaven: 1 Corinthians 2:9, 1 Peter 1:3-5 5. Not the sinful ones, which is part of the blessing itself. Read 1 Corinthians 15 for an indication of what our resurrected selves will be like. Romans 7 also gives a great picture of how we we shall be set free from our earthly bodies of sin and death. Notice Paul's excitement at the prospect. 6. Satan is going to be taken care of once and for all at the end of time (Revelation 20:10) --Joe! |
