I just read a book which states there must be peace and safety before the rapture can occur and that the earth must experience such a catastrophic event before the antichrist can come to power. Do you agree with this? If the apostles looked for Jesus in their time, why should I wait for peace and safety to look for him?
Would you explain the difference in the Old Covenant and the New Covenant? I have been reading in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and need a clearer understanding of all of it.
In John 3, Jesus is discussing the new birth with Nicodemus, and is "amazed" (my quotes) at the fact that Nicodemus did not understand this- He says in verse 10,"you are Israel's teacher and you do not understand these things." Where in the Old Testament is the new birth described in such detail that Jesus could have assumed Nicodemus should know about it?
Why did Jesus turn the water to wine (besides the fact the people had ran out) and why was it his first miracle?
Why are the Angels described as being Michael's angels and not God's angels or Christ's angels? Is it possible that Michael could be part of the God head? Could Michael be Jesus Christ in 1 Thessalonions 4:16 of the Bible and John 5:25,28?
I believe in eternal security. However, a co-worker recently presented me with the following scriptures and asked me to explain eternal security with these in mind. Hebrews 6:4-12 and 10:26; 2 Peter 2:20-22 and 3:14-17 What is your viewpoint?
