Does The Book of Revelation Frighten You/

[p_rehbein]

Regarding the Title of this Thread:

No.

 

[The_Watchers_2017]

I agree with that. I see that the style of Revelation differs from the style of all of the other books in the NT and reads more like an OT book to me, especially Isaiah.

Agreed 100%

 

[Chi-town]

Not at all
Mostly because, although I will be there, I will have already acquired a spiritual body

 

[Bob-Carabbio]

No. Because i am a Christian..

Don't call God allah if some do they are very mistaken..

BINGO!!!! The Islamic "Allah" is a satanic MIXTURE of attributes that ARE God's, and and teachings that are NOTHING LIKE GOD'S AT ALL.

The PRIMARY ISSUE with ISLAMIC Theology is that while they have a "Virgin born Jesus" (Isa), HE DID NOT DIE ON THE CROSS as our SIN OFFERING (Isa 53). Consequently, ISLAM is a satanic religious system WITHOUT SALVATION, that can ONLY condemn it's victims to HELL.

 

[Katia]

The book of Revelation should frighten everyone who is not a true believer in Christ: But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8)

It is there as a warning to all those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Believing in Allah is not the same as believing on the Lord Jesus, who is the Savior of the world, and who died for your sins and rose again for your justification.

Allah is just another word for God. There were Christians in Northern Syria who dated back to the time of Jesus, and speak a mix of Syriac and Arabic. The wars there either wiped them out, or they perhaps moved?

I am not going to dispute with you. You are wrong.

 

[Katia]

what’s this part here ?

( Allah to some Christians)

do you realize a Christian cannot possibly refer to the false god allah because he claims God has no son , whereas Christian’s all believe in Christ, Gods only begotten son ?

the name is Jesus and there is salvstion in no other name

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬


if a Muslim is claiming Jesus is Gods son it’s considered blasphemy and punishable by death

if a Christian denies Gods son they cannot be saved

the two faiths are diametrically opposed

“ allah” is a false diety that swears God has no son


God sent his only begotten son Jesus who is Christ into the world so we can know him.

if many Christian’s are naming god “ allah” it means they aren’t Christian but Muslim

I am primarily an Abrahamic academic. To me many of the Christian denominations are dead, The OT appears to be of value, but many scholars dispute over parts of it. After the Four Gospels, the books there are of questionable value to me. There are many thousands of Christians who speak Arabic, use Isa as the name of Jesus, call Mary Myriam, and Allah for God.

Chuckle!!!

Which is fine, I couldn't care less what Arabic Christians call God. There's a large difference between the Arabic CHRISTIAN "Allah", and the worthless Islamic "Allah thing" who is obviously a totally different entity.

A friend recently told me that the book of Revelation frightened her. I am so in love with God (Allah to some Christians) that I feel I have righteous fear of God. The punishment I receive I will have earned. I spent many years in a denomination where shouty pastors did their best to put terror of God in our hearts. I don't think that was his intention.

If I love Him why wouldn't I rejoice to see His day?

If i am condemned i deserve it; if I receive mercy it's lovingkindness.
In either case, His glory

i am not afraid; i love Him

Allah is the Arabic word which means *God*
In Hebrew it is Elohim.

English is an impure language. Let's not forget that and speak beyond what we ought

My prayer is that Isa open them to you

 

[posthuman]

I havent read it for that reason. But I will eventually as I endeavor to get through the other books. Every book Ive read so far has surprised me in that I had expectations and then it exceeded them. I do have a fear of God. I fear a life without Him.

I do think it is good that you wait until you have at least read the things that precede it before you try to make sense of it. It's the last part of our book for a reason. For that reason especially pay attention to the first

The Bible says..."Fear God"....!!!!!

What do you think that mean?

 

[posthuman]

Not being snotty here. Whose fault is "the fall"? I've seen Eve blamed. I think that is lame. Isn't Satan responsible for our state? I fail and sin but according to Jesus repentance draws God's forgiveness.

Woman was deceived but Adam was not, yet both sinned. We are their children, who were in them when these things took place - - we do the same, following after

 

[posthuman]

the book of Revelation was the first book I read. Cause obviously I wanted to skip to the last book to see how it ends

A hahaha

Don't we know how we are supposed to read books? The answer key is in the back of your calculus book, but only the odd problems. So guess what? Our homework is only the even numbered problems.

We all do that, and it is written, there is none who understands.

Thank you for your honest heart

What's frightening is what Christians believe about this book.

Could be. But why did you use the word "Allah" on a Christian forum which is worldwide? Are you are Christian or a Muslim?

 

[posthuman]

It is VITAL reading for EVERY Christian

So it is vital to have a grasp of each of the 65 books that precede it to comprehend what it is saying

For that reason I won't make any comments with any certainty about eschatology on any forum, because I know that I do not know

I believe Katia is a believer, tho she lists as 'unsure'

Confession of faith is important; your question is just

Let her speak for herself - @Katia we love you. At least I do. Do you believe Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God?
Don't be afraid. I am not offended by your language or person.
We only want to know are you our sister
