Greetings and Welcome, Ohiooo22! Just a friendly reminder, we are saved and have the promise of eternal life by trusting in Jesus as the One who paid the penalty for our sins and not by belonging to a certain denomination, by observing the law, or by good works, etc. "God saved you by his...

This current body doesn't have immortality. But it will become immortal and glorified at the resurrection. The spirit however, is conscious and aware after death, which is supported by other scriptures. "The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it...

Really? Everlasting fire means exactly that, never ending, with the focus being on those being punished within the fire, i.e. their torment in flame will be never-ending. You're just using existing apologetics above! The destruction by fire of Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities was...

This does not make God a liar, it makes you ignorant of His word in regards to the meaning of death as being a state of existence and not cessation of existence. When Satan said, "you will not die" the rest of that verse is "God knows that in the day that you eat of it you will become like God."...

Once again, the immortality that Paul is speaking about, is referring to these current bodies which die. We cannot inherit the kingdom of God in them, which is why at the resurrection, we will receive immortal and glorified bodies mete for the kingdom of God. This is what prompted him to say...

Our spirits are immortal, i.e. they will exist eternally. These current bodies do not have immortality, which is why God is going to resurrect believers with immortal and glorified bodies so the scripture says that we cannot inherit the kingdom of God in these current bodies. According to...

Well we know this, Jesus is not going to send His bride through His wrath first and then gather her afterwards to take her to the Father's house. If He did this, what difference would there be between the those in Christ and the wicked, if they both suffer the same thing? Paul called the...

The beast and the false prophet will both be men controlled by the powers of darkness. The fact that he is called "the man of lawlessness" would demonstrate this. In addition, his mark is said to be "the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. Because, you misunderstand the...

Hello Absolutely! We have to remember that the end of age includes the gathering of the church, the time of God's wrath and the Lord's return to the earth. The entire process is the end of the age. The Lord's admonishment to watch and be ready, means to be in a faithful state for both the...

Hi John146! Um, regarding the two who were crucified with Christ: one was not taken and the other left. If you look back at the context, both men died, with their bodies being buried and decaying. However, their spirits where conscious and aware in Hades, with Lazarus and the rich man being in...

Flood came and took them all away = The wicked One will be taken = The wicked The "one taken" is being compared to those taken in the flood. Therefore, the "one taken" is not a blessed event, but is referring to the wicked who will be gathered by the angels to be killed. First gather the weeds!

Agreed! Matthew 24:30-31 is not speaking about the gathering of the church, but of the angels going throughout the earth and first gathering the wicked (one's taken), following that the wheat will be gathered. At that time, the angels will be gathering the righteous who will have made it alive...

Good ay bud62! The gathering of the living church (rapture) is not a lie. We have two very distinct promises regarding the Lord's promise to come and gather us. ========================================== In My Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am...

Hello Adstar! I would greatly disagree with your conclusion. First of all in the context, the "one taken" group are being compared to those who were taken in the flood, which are the wicked. Therefore, the comparison is wicked to wicked. The "one taken and the other left" scripture has...

As I told you and explained to you, this could not have already happened. It's not possible! The short story is, when the Lord returns to the earth to end the age, the beast and the false prophet are captured and thrown alive into the lake of fire. When did this event ever take place? The answer...

Greetings Nebuchadnezzar! Yes, I personally believe that one of the future popes will play the part of the false prophet. I believe that he will be the one who will be performing those miracles, signs and wonders in view of all the inhabitants of the earth for the purpose of deceiving them into...

You are correct in that (has·sa·tan) means advisory/accuser. However, Satan do not just point out the evil that human being do, but also causes it. The words 'temptation' and 'deception' would describe his character. Regarding Satan, Jesus said that "He was a murderer from the beginning, not...

Greetings and Welcome, Mario313!

Granted. But I can tell you and everyone else reading this, that when you eat of the bread and drink the cup, you are not eating the literal flesh and blood of Christ. He is not coming down into that piece of bread as the Catholics would have us believe. The bread and wine are symbolic of the...

Hello paisleypanther! I would tell them the truth by telling them that they have the freedom and the right to continue living a same-sex life style if they desire. However, the consequences are the same, where they will never inherit eternal life in the kingdom of God. This is made quite clear...
