    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...

    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...

    Date setting is discouraged so he did not pay attention to the word of God. 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and...

    Mark of the Beast

    Thank you for the passages you included in your post. I certainly agree with them and your thoughts concerning the encouragement of love and good work. I also do agree that wacky, interpretations concerning the last days should be ignored. But they are not all silly or wacky. The fact that the...

    Mark of the Beast

    I didn't say to ignore Jesus or the Bible. I said to ignore silly modern interpretations of Jesus and the Bible. Read the very words you just quoted: in order to stir up love and good works. Isn't that what I just encouraged? That is what's paramount. First century Christians thought "the...

    Will he use nuclear weapons?

    Not sure. I expect he could, but ultimately think God is restraining all out nuclear war. I just finished reading this... “There seems no major concern within the ranks of Western diplomacy that Putin might initiate the world blowing up in nuclear conflict. All of this started me pondering...

    Prophecy Unfolding

    I agree with you concerning all the war mongering and violence that goes on. Nevertheless, the scriptures do warn that a world leader at some point will arise promising “peace”, but it will be a deception. “But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write...

    Define Religion

    CTo me the first Gospel is that of Matthew. First because first it was written in Hebrew shortly after Jesus died. You'll be aware, of course, that the claim it was first written in Hebrew is not supported by external evidence and the claimed internal evidence is not credited by a majority of...

    Define Religion

    To me the first Gospel is that of Matthew. First because first it was written in Hebrew shortly after Jesus died. Whereas, Mark wrote in the 60's with the non-Jews in mind. Luke wrote in the 50's. Yes, John late 90's. Paul's 'earlier' writings do reference Matthew, so Matthew could have been...

    A ground-zero position when talking about the Bible

    Rather, I find it's one denomination of 'Christendom' (so-called Christians) sniping at another. Yes, ' get along ' is a requirement for both getting into Heaven and for living forever on Earth. Heaven is for those who have that first or earlier resurrection - Revelation 20:6; Revelation 2:10...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    If you were to believe in the "Word of God" (Rev 19:13), you would not be following the false prophets, the wolves in sheep's clothing, such as Paul, who was one of the two horns of the beast (Constantine the founder of the Roman church via his Council of Nicaea and his false dogma of the...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    I was just reading in a devotional today, by Ruth Chou Simons, on God’s will for believers expressed in 1 Thessalonians 4:3 and some of the others you listed. Specifically, God’s will is for believers to be sanctified; set apart and made holy, living a life pleasing and honoring Christ.

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    I believe this from the OP are the questions @MatthewA want answers to. From his OP What are your thoughts about these scriptures to seem to profess God's will for Christian believers? Do you believe what these scriptures found in 1 Thessalonians 5 have any merit to the life of a Christian...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    It's not always easy but thanking God and realising that we should be thankful is certainly God's will for us. Psalm 50:23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless I will show my salvation.” Heb 13:23 Those who sacrifice thank offerings honor me, and to the blameless...

    Your Thoughts on God's Will For Believers In Christ Jesus?

    Correct. The reason they are not easy is that people have personalities, and they have paranoia. Paranoia is very complicated and once triggered is difficult both to see in one's self and to deal with as a group. For example a person can start to feel hunted and see everything around as an...
