    Is Science Worshiping Human Nature?

    Personally, I need to rephrase the question. Does a scientist (who is an atheist) worship human nature? Answer: It does depend on the individual. But many prominent atheists and prominent scientists worship nature in the sense that they believe ‘liquid water’ and a ‘source of heat’ are the...

    Is it necessary to be a part of a Christian Church to be saved?

    Acts 26 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.” 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?” Is there anything wrong with being called a Christian? “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me...

    Is it necessary to be a part of a Christian Church to be saved?

    Further verses supporting the unity, and ongoing fellowship of believers are these: Ephesians 4 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we...

    Is it necessary to be a part of a Christian Church to be saved?

    There are two things that we can turn our backs on. (1) The body of Christ (2) The instruction given in the New Testament Ephesians 4 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of...

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    Sorry that I have not answered more quickly. I have been unwell, and I’m still unwell. But that aside, I have appreciated your response. We are in full agreement that in ‘three of the accounts of destruction’ recorded in Revelation, God only destroys the wicked -- Revelation 19, 20, and 21...

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    I am wondering, how do you divide the narrative of Revelation? How do you understand its structure? I follow the structural divisions in the narrative, as put forward by Richard Bauckham and others. PROSTITUTE Revelation 17:1 introduces the narrative of the punishment of the ‘great...

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    Revelation 20:5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. When John told us "the rest of the dead", what did he mean? It could not mean the rest of the dead from the Gog battle because you cannot have a Gog battle without the wicked being resurrected. Who...

    Mark, I’m asking for your view. The four verses below describe certain acts of God, who in his wrath destroys mankind. DESTRUCTION BY GOD’S WRATH Revelation 14:19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. Is this the...

    With this post (#382), I am, at last, starting to grasp where you are coming from. I will now prepare a response to it, meanwhile I am posting number of question about the destruction of mankind. .

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    Revelation 20:5-10 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended… When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle... But...

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    REVELATION I am getting confused over the countless raptures/resurrections talked about on this site. Revelation mentions just ’two.’ ((Revelation 20:4-5 They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.))...

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    I am very interested to know the reasons why you believe that 'The angel that uses the golden censer (Rev 8)/not brass as in Numbers 16 that the Korah group had...is not the same angel that later stands on the earth and sea in Rev. 10?' This question relates to a current personal study of mine...

    Rapture will happen..does it matter when?

    Do you make a connection between the 7th seal and Korah's rebellion in the verses below? The account of Korah’s rebellion (Numbers 16) is parallel to the seventh seal. The seventh seal (Revelation 8:3-5) relates to ((Numbers 16:46 Then Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer and put incense in...
