Good day, Phoneman, Those in Christ are not under the law by any means, for Jesus fulfilled the law satisfying it completely. Regarding the keeping of Sabbaths (any) or eating food that under the Law was forbidden, scripture says the following: "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what...

That is a pretty accurate chart, with one exception, which is that 536 BC to rebuild and restore Jerusalem does not work out mathematically according to the time when the Messiah was cut off. If we use 536 as the starting point to restore and rebuild Jerusalem it does not add up to 30 AD: 7...

In the above scripture, Jesus is warning his disciples and therefore all believers, to always be watching and remaining faithful, so that they will not be willfully living according to the sinful nature when He comes to gather His church, otherwise that day will close on them like a trap...

Hi John832, The answer to "If there is a rapture, why does the Church go to a Place of Safety" is that, the woman of Rev.12 is not the church. The woman is said to be clothed with the sun, with moon under her feet and wearing a crown of twelve stars. In Genesis 37:9-10, God used the exact...

Hello Rosemaryx, I would also agree in that, just as with the church of Laodicea, anyone who continues to be lukewarm, the Lord will vomit out of His mouth. However, I don't think that agnosticism falls under that category, as it would be the same as not believing. Wouldn't you agree? agnostic...

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.” I believe that agnostics would fall under the rejection of Christ. However, if they believe in Him and repent, then they can be saved as well.

Hello PC123, You've left out the fact that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three persons making up one God. We have Jesus being baptized and as soon as He came up out of the water, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove landed on Him. In addition, you have a voice from heaven saying...

No! The Day of the Lord and the Day of Christ are two different events. The day of Christ is the gathering of the church, which Paul uses in the letter to the Philippians "Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a...

Regarding the gathering first and then followed by The Day of the Lord, I would also present the following: ================================================================================================ Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you. 2For you are...

By the way, I don't subscribe to Darby, nor have I ever read anything written by him. So, my conclusion is based on scripture. People usually try to use Darby on me to discredit my contention. The coming of the Lord and our being gathered to Him and the Day of the Lord, are closely linked. If...

The Day of the Lord does not just encompass the great tribulation period, i.e. the last 3 1/2 years. The antichrist will be revealed when he makes his covenant with Israel. Anyone who has studied the word of God would know that it is him once he makes that seven year covenant. The rider on the...

The “Day of the Lord” and the “Day of Christ” are used to describe different events and therefore are not identical terms. The Day of the Lord refers to God’s judgment and isn’t tied to one specific event. The Day of Christ, on the other hand, is a specific day when Jesus will reward His...

The interlinear and the actual Greek have it "the Day of the Lord" hē the hēmera day tou of the Kyriou Lord According to what you are saying, if I was to paraphrase the verse it would says: "The coming of our Lord and our being gathered to Him will not take place until the coming of our...

Hello Evmur, The key to understanding 2 Thess.2:1-4, is by paying attention to the details of the context. Paul starts off with the following: "Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him," which of course is speaking in regards to the Lord's...

Hello again! Well, it is very simple to deduce from the following: "23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. " So, the spirit of the rich man departed his body and went down into Hades as the verse above states. Therefore...

Prior to our faith in the Lord, we were by nature children of wrath. God chose us before the world began to be holy and blameless. However, before we made that good confession of faith, we were condemned and God's wrath rested upon us, the same as the wicked.

Hello VCO, There was indeed a part of Hades which was a place of comfort and is what Jesus was referring to when He told the thief "Today you will be with me in paradise." The scriptures regarding the rich man and Lazarus makes it very clear that the area that Abraham and Lazarus were in was a...

"The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God will...

Good day, EnglishChick, Just fyi, everyone's name whom God chose, were written in the book of life before the world even began. Check out the following scriptures: "And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in...
