This is the reason I read,
To find out the HOSTORY of protestantism.
Why even joing a ORGANIZATION w/o knowing at the very least some miniscule portion of its history
Bet if I go to Joel Osteen's aassembly, their personal homes library, bet any money i find zero books on american protestantism,, MUCH LESS any book of Jung.
There ya go = Ignorance is Bliss.
vs
Yeshua's very words ((NOT in english, but in old oldddd spiritual greek, which beats out old hebrew)
I'll take Yeshua's word over any religious organization beliefs any day
How about you guys??
Same I hope.
Lets focus on what Yeshua is trying to say, vs a religious org's interpretations.
This way we can never ever go on the wrong path.
Can you address the scriptures I gave?
Let's start with recognizing the three main things that happen at the coming of the LORD.
Hopefully we can start by finding common ground and build on that.
Three main things that occur at the coming of the lord.
Context: 1 Thessalonians 4:15-5:11
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 1 Thessalonians 4:15
- The first thing we see is the resurrection of the dead in Christ.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4:16
- The second thing that occurs at his coming, after the resurrection of the dead in Christ, is the rapture of the church.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.1 Thessalonians 4:17
Notice here the resurrection and rapture are one event that occurs at His coming!
The third thing we see that occurs at His coming is the destruction of the wicked including the antichrist.
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-4
Notice here the coming of the LORD does not come as a thief in the night for the watching Church; watching the signs He gave us to watch for.
Context: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8
The three mains things that occur at the coming of the LORD:
- The resurrection of the dead in Christ.
- The rapture of the church.
- The destruction of the wicked: including the antichrist
