Bible Question:
Hi, JESUS COMING/ OUR DEPARTURE Thanks for your answear which has prompted my mind to comment as follow: Why can't christians admit that Jesus coming will not happen to-night,next week nor the week after [we may even extend this timeframe]because the Bible says that several events must come to pass before the return on Jesus. I reckon, we are in the midst of these events. In this context, there is no necessity to be ready now. On the other hand,it is ever more urgent that we should ready ourselves for the Lord's coming, because no one knows the hour nor the day of his departure from this world. The emphasis should be on our departure from this world rather than Jesus coming! With Love in Christ. FytRobert |
Bible Answer: Jude 1 17But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." 19These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 20But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. 21Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 22Be merciful to those who doubt; 23snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. |
