Grant R.Jeffrey

During the summer of 1994, after more than a decade of searching, I discovered several fascinating manuscripts that contain clear evidence of the teaching of the pre-tribulation rapture in the early church. Ephraem's Teaching on the Pretribulation Rapture For all the saints and Elect of God are gath...

Here is one

Manuel Lacunza Y Dí­az (July 19, 1731 - June 17 1801) also wrote about prophecy from a futurist viewpoint in The Coming of Messiah in Glory and Majesty.3 Completed in 1790, it was placed on the Vatican's Index of Forbidden Books in 1824. While the "pre-tribulation rapture" idea is not foun...

Moses and Elijah

How did Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus if Moses and Elijah were suppose to be asleep in the grave? Didn't the whirlwind take Elijah to heaven? What does it mean God took Enoch? When did David go to heaven? If Christ had to die for our sins, then how was Moses and Elijah able to appear? Michael T...

Where We Go When We Die?

From Tomorrows World July-Aug. 2006 pg4-8 "Does the Bible really mean What it Says?" "For no clear scripture in the Bible promises going to heaven as the eternal reward of christians. Rather, Jesus Christ said, "No one has ascended to heaven, but he who has come down from heaven,...

Image

When I think of created in his image I think of the spiritual, emotional and mental aspects. Having a soul/spirit, the ability to Love, and the higher reasoning abilities for example. As far as appearance no man on earth has seen Gods face, because we couldn't look upon him and live. Jesus who alway...

Dreams

This may or may not relate to the Holy Spirit, but I think it does. I have been reading a book about Fear. I think I will discuss the book more in-depth when I am done. However, there is a section of the book that deals with dreams. If we look at the bible there is a lot about dreams in it. Now a lo...

emotional state

My question would be is how do we tell if a feeling was an encounter with the Holy Spirit or something just created by our emotional state?

I have two experiences in my past that seemed quite strong, but my emotional state at that time maybe had something to do with it.

how protected

The question then would be How is God going to protect his people?

Raptured away, Sealed against it, or hidden in the Wilderness?

Usually my lust last but a few second and then turns into concern to where the morals of young and not so young g...

pentecostal

Yeah the new church I go to leans a bit to the Pentecostal beliefs. Though its non-denominational. Its not rolling down the aisle, but it is belief in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Its that comforter that Jesus sent , so why don't we talk about that more. That third member of the trinity . Michael T...

Believe

All I know is that I believe with all my heart that Jesus died on the cross for me and that He is the only way to the Father. It also says something about Jesus. I can believe he died on the cross and that he thought he was doing it for me. However, I have to believe he had the power to die for my ...

Believe

How do you all define believe or Believe?

What all actually do you have to believe in and what does that mean?

Do you have believe in your heart or simple saying the words is enough?

changing my mind

I asked my new pastor about this and he supports the post-tribulation rapture. Although he just likes to just say second-coming. Now he also seems to say that people of the church can disagree on some theology,but when it splits the church then that is of Satan. Anyways, he gave me some good argumen...
