    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    Matthew is Jesus-speak. Thessalonians is Paul-speak. Whenever the two show ANY inclinations of differing, I go with Jesus. Jesus is speaking to the inner being of individuals. Paul is speaking to the leadership of a new congregation of followers. It the difference of hearing the wisdom of the...

    If a person claiming to be Christ comes today, how do you know it is really *not* him?

    By the way, if you're going to quote that, how about this: 1 Thessalonians 5:3 - While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape."

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

    Then what do you make of these words of Christ, in the context of the 1000 years reign of Christ: 37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage...

    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?

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    I am still not sure what you mean by materiality. When I think of materiality I think of something physical. How can our spirit be made of something physical? You mean the new body will be body, soul and spirit and the physical body we have now is only body and soul? That makes sense to me...

    Why So Much Trinity Bashing?

    The components of our body has a different materiality than our spirit Is part of who we are. Without it we wouldn’t be here and when we receive our new body, that isn’t cursed, we will be a triune being agaion Yes!! Yes… we probably will believe differently. Jesus has a body, it is a...

    Between individuals with equivalent knowledge, experience and expertise, sure. But other than personal bias, how would a person come to the best conclusion in your scenario? By this view, opting to have me perform your necessary brain surgery while wondering why I started my first incision on...

    Happens all the time. That is why we have “different theories” among scientists It would depend on what one is talking about. And yet, people go to two different doctors because one wants a second opinion, and you get a different opinion. I think my example is more appropriate than your...

    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...

    Convergence Of Signs

    It warns you not to follow those people. And the Bible is for once right in that. The Bible also tell you not to judge. So don't follow the Hitlers of the world. But if you follow your holy book you won't judge them either. Hypothetically even the worst of them could have...

    Convergence Of Signs

    Well, the scriptures do speak a lot about having discernment, plus there are all kinds of warnings about false teachers, false doctrines, and behavior which are not fruits of the Spirit. I think if one uses God’s word to test a group like the KKK or any other group claiming to be Christian, it...

    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...
