This is my reasoning on the subject of God being merciful. There are many scriptures in written in the OT that supports God's mercy like for instance Lamentation 3:22-23, it is of the LORD's mercy we are not consumed, because his compassion fail not. They are new every morning; great is thy...

The most important thing is that you acknowledge your struggle. That is how God wants it. I will give you a simple analogy of what you are struggling with and dust of the ground that God used to make man. You understand dust is something that people don't like to associate with it often related...

726 harpázō – properly, seize by force; snatch up, suddenly and decisively – like someone seizing bounty (spoil, a prize); to take by an open display of force (i.e. not covertly or secretly).

Strong's say, HARPAGESOMETHA as derived from HAIREOMAI. Lexicon says ARPAGESOMETHA.

The term that Paul uses is not HARPAZO but ARPAGESOMETHA to seize by force; robbery

I have always thought and still do that the doctrine of rapture is a misrepresentation of the truth of the coming (arrival or presence)-PAROUSIA- of Christ. Moses in Exodus 19, talks about what Paul described as the Lord descending with a shout, the voice of an archangel, and trumpet of God...

There is no rapture in the bible... I can't find such an expression in all the languages of the bible.

Why should you think that taking communion is a mistake? If you cannot take communion, being a believer, you would be misrepresenting the scriptures. No where did Jesus or the apostles forbid any believer from taking communion. In fact as often as you meet you should commune with the brethren...

Those who are in Christ do follow God by FAITH not superstition! May be you could help the Chinese understand Faith against superstition. In Christianity we understand that our Faith is marked by how we relate to one another principally over how we relate to the supernatural. (God to us is...

Yes! Repentance is a way of life to believers... why because it involves a change of attitudes. Every day we must keep our minds to respond to Christ. Because we have the mind of Christ so then we must always turn from our own to conform to Christ's daily.

I would agree with this more. Adam is the representation of Christ the Son of God. In fact Luke 3:38 says "... Adam was the son of God." John 3:16 says, "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son..." Jesus would constantly refer to himself as the Son of Man (Ben Adam...

I believe that rest is now and will be quoting Hebrews 4:10, For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Rest is not just to come but is... The works that are hypocritical are not an expression of faith towards God. Jesus for instant gave a parable...

If the Moses represented the old covenant that is the law (works for redemption), then there must be a new covenant through Jesus Christ even grace- the LORD's REST. Sabbath has a spiritual significant over mere observance of the day. Important to note is that Sunday is not the sabbath day...

There is only one God who is the Father over all. The scriptures are consistent on this. The source of all other in the divine is God. Take for instant Genesis 1: 1 In the beginning God... the following sentence says, ...and the Spirit of God... if you go John 1 says in the beginning was the...

I think you are burdening yourself with so much weight. You might end up developing a lot of dos and don'ts in your life that might deny you the opportunities that come with life. The scriptures say, "how can a young man keep his way pure? It is by living according to your word." Psalm 119: 9...

We can only rely on scriptures... Jesus says the devil was a lair from the beginning. From this we know that the devil was never a saint, since he begun as a lair.

The debate between who is better standing in God between Adam and Eve is misinterpreted in many circles. Adam and Eve are one. And so Paul wrote to our understanding that all have sinned and fallen short the glory of God. From this we know that the responsibility of sin in the world cannot be...

No! every one who is in Christ is already in Heaven.

This is my take on hell. I will take you to Psalm 49. The term of shoel is translated as grave. In the Hebrew traditions it is a place for the dead. Death leads to shoel. In Revelation 20 Death and Hades go hand in hand. It says that the sea gave up the dead who were in it and death and hades...

There is a Jewish prayer that goes like "Sh'ma Yisra'el, YHWH 'eloheinu, YHWH 'eḥad." --"Hear, O Israel: the LORD is our God, the LORD is One... This is the bases of one God. But in reference to Genesis, God used the phrase "our(shelanu) image." Thus signifying a unity When God created man, the...
