You can even scroll down to the commentary box that will briefly explain your verse.
Jesus did not call us to perform religious ceremonies. He said My yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Baptist church life is more than sitting in a pew. I grew up southern Baptist and knew nothing about the Godhead: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. They preached hell and that I had to be Baptised. Which I did, and 5 yrs
later I was serving the devil.
Find one that teaches THE BIBLE. You can research online what each church's Tenets of Faith are. Google that if you don't know what that is. If you do not read your Bible every day you will NEVER know if you are being taught the truth at Church!
Seek TRUTH. Jesus says: I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father, except BY ME.
The Father is Spirit! He is not fleshly; human. Find in the King James Bible where God is a human man.
God oversees the Great White Throne Judgement.
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Therefore we are always confident,
knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
Comment: All born again believers will be caught up to Jesus, in the clouds; dead or alive.
Don't bet any big money on what you said about the continuing struggle of religious leaders to attain prestige and dominance over all those who ARE LEFT BEHIND.
There are plenty of history pages on this website to sift through about comments On After the Caught Up. It will be a massive display of Game of Thrones; except it will not be a game! There will be a person who will rise who will fix all the problems of the chaos LEFT BEHIND. Who will seem so competent that people will worship him as the savior of Peace! One by one, he will eradicate the man made thrones, until he alone is supreme Leader. ANTICHRIST. And then the Tribulation. Either you take His Mark and worship him or he will take your head off your body.
All those who die will be held for the Great White Throne Judgement. Google that.
Living people who manage to stay alive can still confess Jesus as Lord and go to heaven but it's going to be hard to evade being murdered by Antichrist, before then. Do not recant your vow to Jesus.
Earth will BURN. 2 Peter 3:7-10
No one can stop scripture from happening!!
It is to receive rewards or to lose rewards.
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
There will be crowns given for various things. Which I think I read that we will place the crowns at the feet of Jesus.
It's a solemn occasion, but also a happy event. You're not going to lose your salvation.
What we learn from the New Testament is HOW to follow Jesus and become a disciple.
How did we respond to his teaching? when I was hungry; you fed me. When I was naked, you clothed me. When I was sick, you visited me, etc. There's all kinds of ministries we can join or support with our giving, or time. Be generous and do not begrudge having to do it. You do it as unto Jesus, and no others. It is not for personal glory. It's about the blessings of obedience.
I think in 1 Corinthians 12, we see that we can ask the Holy Spirit for gifts or administrations, for the purpose of relieving suffering and lack in believers and the unsaved. That perhaps by your love and mercy, the unsaved will come to Jesus through your ministry to them. It is so simple to ask them if you can lead them in a prayer of repentance and to receive Jesus as their Savior too. The soul winners Crown.
A year ago I set myself down to really study all that Jesus said; how he related to all people; the religious; the demonic; the public in general. We have to slow down from speed reading, to actually process how Jesus was ministering and teaching His Disciples. Jesus is the Son of Man: all God and all man in one body. He set aside his power as Gods Son, to be amongst humankind. How do you respond to that? We're not saved to just occupy a pew on Sunday. Search ourselves...
GOD told jonah that ..he had pity on the gourd ,what he did not labour for or plant and also he did not knw how it grows,...
and that was a clear message to jonah ....
I ahve certain thoughts on the matter.
Those who take the mark of course are taken first in Matthew 24 (one is taken and one is left). Of course it was the wicked that were taken "as in the days of Noah".
We will get our glorified bodies before the millennium so it won't be us.
I know the modern Sanhedrin is pushing for worldwide Noahide Laws on ONLY Gentiles so if there is a mark of the beast connected to the Noahide Laws and that is where the New World Order is going, then they will be exempt. What is interesting is the Jewish Noahide laws call for beheading of idolators and their rabbis say Christians are the greatest idolators because we practice "partnering" where we make Jesus equal to the Father as we believe in the trinity.
Another possibility is those that haven't met the age of accountability.
Some think aborted babies will be sent back to earth to be tested. That sounds a little weird but someone has to repopulate the earth.
What is your take on this?
I lean heavily on the Noahide Laws as some Christians have already given themselves over to it, plus the huge growth of the Hebrew Roots Movement where some have even converted to Judaism now and left the Lord ( Hebrews 6). You also have the huge uprising of the Black Israelite cults like HOI, SICARII, GMS, ETC.
God is saving Muslims and masses of them would be saved if it wasn't for the fear of converting. I think many are missing it thinking the antichrist will be a Muslim. We shouldn't care what the Koran teaches. Scripture also calls Jerusalem Sodom and Egypt and it surely is today as it is the gay pride capital of the world now and the number one abortion country in the world "per capita".
So what do you think? I'm a partial-preterist/partial-futurist/premillennialist. These are my thougths.
Eph 2:8,9; Jn 3:16-18; Acts 16:30-33; Rom 10:9,10; Jn 5:24.
You will find others on this Site that have been involved in various ministries & I can truly say, that when we want to serve Him & are prepared to lay aside everything for the Gospel, He will not disappoint & as He said (in Jer 33:3): "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not". I emphasize the 'great & mighty things': as we take the 'risks' & allow Him to lead us to wherever & to whomever He wants us to minister, you will see things happen that go far beyond your comprehension. Why will this be? For the blessing of those reached & the increase of your faith & love for Him. That's all the Lord wants: a clean, humble & willing vessel fitted out for the Master's use.
May the Lord bless you, bring many to a deeper knowledge of Him & the Cross & enrichen your life as you experience more & more of Him. There is no greater work that one can do on Earth, than to devote oneself to serving the Lord; and isn't that the calling of every believer?
Yet, the other side of the faith in Christ's Gospel, is that of contentions & divisions. The Gospel is divisive: it separates the sheep from the goats, friends & family members are set apart because of its call for separation & holiness, it separates those who attend Church for conscience sake from those attending to worship the Lord Whom they love, it makes distinction between those who take up their cross daily from those who are careless in their fleshly walk, etc.
And Jesus says: "and what will I, if it be already kindled?", or "what can I say, that the spark of fire has already commenced?" The very fact of Jesus' Presence, amongst the people & his disciples, had already started the fires of anger & separation from one another. First, it commenced in the people's hearts as they heard teachings that were foreign to them & the Spirit-filled messages brought serious questioning & conviction within. Even arriving at the foot of the Cross, the division of those who followed the Lord from those who rejected Him became clearer & more distinct, resulting in more hatred from the Jews & Romans. Post Cross, we see the effects of that 'fire' as the apostles & those who obeyed the Lord suffered greatly, not because of anything they had done, but from those who had rejected Christ & godly living, were marked for destruction. You can keep these thoughts in mind as you read through the NT, looking for evidences of this fire that 'to follow Christ' brings.
