  1. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    The seed is the gospel. Matthew 13:18-23 18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who...
  2. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    He wasn't insulting you. He was blessing you, but using the language of a parable you weren't familiar with or don't yet understand (it maybe wasn't the best choice of words).
  3. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    Not these dreams... These dreams come from God. Muslims know of Jesus usually (they call him Isa), but Islam's Jesus is only a man--not divine--and Islam's Jesus didn't actually die on the cross or resurrect from the dead on the third day. Islam's God's character is nothing like the God of the...
  4. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    They... along with probably thousands of other Muslims, had visions or dreams of Jesus. In Mohammed's dreams, Jesus spoke words of love for Mohammed and also quoted Scripture, including John 14:6 ("I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me"). At the...
  5. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    Yes, but according to God there are no excuses. Because a person can seek God, and if they seek Him with all their heart, I believe He will let them hear the gospel before they die, even if He has to give them a vision or a dream and preach to them Himself. I do encourage you to watch More Than...
  6. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    The point many of us have been trying to make is that God says that doesn't happen. Everyone has heard the "voice" of the creation and know that God exists, and some of His character qualities, because He has made it plain. We also have a conscience (although we can sear it). So the entire world...
  7. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    Faith in Jesus and the authority of Scripture is not self-deception. Without it, you cannot know God. It isn't blind either. There are plenty of reasons to trust God and His written word--for example, historical evidence of the ministry, the death and the resurrection of Jesus; fulfilled...
  8. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    But Paul told the Thessalonians it won't happen until after the apostasy and the revealing of the man of sin who demands to be worshipped as God (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). This happens in the Tribulation (see Revelation 13). Jesus' return is not imminent therefore. Until a generation sees all...
  9. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    But human beings who reject Christ will go there. Matthew 25:41 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:46 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the...
  10. Luke17:37

    Only way?

    None of us believe God will send babies and little children or people who are severely mentally handicapped to hell. We're talking then about people who are capable of knowing God. John 3:15-18 describes how God loves us so much that He sent His only Son (to die) so that those who believe in...

    Only way?

    Matthew 24:14
  12. Luke17:37

    Please pray about fear of Mark of the Beast

    You are referring to Hebrews 1:2: Hebrews 1:1-2 1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; The last days in...

    Please pray about fear of Mark of the Beast

    Revelation is written to Jesus' servants. That includes Christians of today. "Soon" is Jesus' perspective, not man's. Revelation 1:1-3 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his...

    Please pray about fear of Mark of the Beast

    The message went from Jesus to to John to the seven churches of Asia that John had a relationship with... and all of us. Since Jesus didn't return in the first century, it could in fact be more for us than it was for those who were living in those churches at the time it was written. The only...

    Please pray about fear of Mark of the Beast

    Hi there. I'm guessing you've read the Scriptures explicitly talking about the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:15-18, Revelation 14:9-13, Revelation 20:4-6)? The mistake Eve made was focusing intently on the forbidden fruit and it what it could potentially offer her (Genesis 3:6) as opposed to...
  16. Luke17:37

    What are some logical, alternative interpretations or ways of understanding...

    Genesis is history. It's not a morality tale. There's no evidence to the contrary. There's just a lot of voices persistently making big claims, essentially that they know history and science better than God (who was there) does. I believe God. His Word is reliable. Everyone will see some day...

    The age earth of the isn't earth isn't apparently old. That's what people who are committed to a naturalist view (that there is no God) require. They have loud and persistent voices, for years claiming that the fairy tale they admire (that nothing created a universe so incredibly complex from...

    Isaiah 29:14 "... For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” 1 Corinthians 1:20 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? You have believed a...

    "In six days, God made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them..." (Exodus 20:11) "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth... the first day... the second day... the seas... the third day... the fourth day... the fifth day... the sixth day." (Genesis 1) The...

    Undersanding the Two Resurrections

    Do you realize that you are actually implying three resurrections? - The resurrection/rapture of the Church (resurrection 1) - The resurrection of the Tribulation martyrs (also part of the Church) (resurrection 2) - The resurrection of the wicked (resurrection 3) This is what happens when a...
