    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Baha'is put some of the things in Revelation in the time of Muhammad. They say the number of the beast is the year 666AD when the Umayyads took over Islam. "You have asked about the meaning of the "four beasts" referred to in Revelations, Ch. 4. ‘Abdu'l-Bahá in a Tablet has given an...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    It means He will come again as King of kings in judgment… Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him wascalled Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes werelike a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He [a]had a...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Again... Baha'is have no credibility to take something in the gospel of John literally when they don't take anything about the resurrection literally. If the resurrection is true however, it would destroy the claim that Jesus wouldn't be seen again, because he was... After he was dead for three...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    John 16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. a little while, and ye shall see me I believe Jesus meant that we would see His spirit return in another man who would be the return of Christ. John 16:10 Of...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    I see no period (after "no more") in that sentence: John 16 16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.” He will resurrect them. Remember, he will come to judge the living and the dead? John 6 52 The Jews then disputed...

    Who is the Son of man who will come in the clouds of heaven?

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    2 Thessalonians 1 ... when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in flaming fire... Matthew 24:30 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Meet the Lord in the air? I consider the belief utterly absurd. That belief comes from the following verses: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    There is also the belief of some Christians that the ones doing God's will, the believers in Jesus, will be "raptured" out of here. And when Jesus returned, they return with him. I'd like to hear how InvestigateTruth and the other Baha'is think about that Christian belief.

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    No. Those who don't watch will get the short end of the stick when judgement comes. God "commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by" Jesus. This is supposed to happen: 2 Thessalonians 1 ... when the Lord Jesus is...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    So, let's say, "thief in the night" means, He comes suddenly and no one other than the Father know which day. 1. What difference does it make, whether one watches or does not watch? I suppose there must make a difference to watch, since Jesus emphasized to watch, right? 2. What does He mean by...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Like a thief means that nobody (except the Father) knows the day. Some will be surprised and unprepared (for the judgement - the works will be exposed). To be prepared means to repent, have faith and live righteously like it could happen today. 1 Thessalonians 5:2 2 For you yourselves are fully...

    The Last Days… When?

    The Last Days… When? “But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.  For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal,  having no natural affection, not open to any...

    Did Jesus Christ Actually Exist?

    Because Mark used the Epistles, a lot. https://www.richardcarrier.info/archives/15934 Sourcing from: The principal works to consult on this (all of which from peer reviewed academic presses) are: Michael Bird & Joel Willitts, Paul and the Gospels: Christologies, Conflicts and Convergences...

    A friendly debate regarding the merits of Christianity v that of Judaism in regards to salvation. (Anthony H Miller and Harel13).

    As promised I will address what is spirit: Mans spirit is his word, it is his communicator. It resides in the heart and in the mind, (Matthew 12:33). Jesus said the words I speak are spirit, (John 6:63). Coupled with faith, your spirit can do things, (Mk11:23). Spirit is always speaking...

    Is the soul inside the body?And does it survive the death of the body?

    1 Thessalonians 5:23 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Soul is Greater than the Flesh/Body and the Spirit is Greater than the Soul. Elohim's/God's Ladder...

    Faith is being sure...

    True, but it is also believed the writer used the accumulated letters of Paul to base his "message and style." The writer of Hebrews had for his model the Pauline letter-type, which had just clearly emerged before the churches in the published collection of Paul's letters. His letter is about...

    God is not a man

    Yes .. we have more in common than we have differences. We both believe in Almighty God. I was raised as a Christian, and a 'choir boy' in my youth. :) I discovered Islam in my early 20's, and by the grace of God am still a believer. May we both die as believers. Amen.

    God is not a man

    While I believe the soul is from God and created by God, I don’t think the soul of each person is the indwelling of God. The scriptures show various conditions of the human soul, as well as, at what point the Spirit of God enters to take up residence in someone. But as many as received Him...

    One God or many gods

    But many angels. Which is archangel is matter of perspective which I honor.
