Know Who's The Anti-Christ

The anti-christ is most certainly mentioned more than 4 times in a the bible. Read Daniel thoroughly. It is a book of prophecy that specifically mentions the Great Tribulation. I would also suggest a Greek and Hebrew translator. Who do you think the Son of Perdition is? just because the term "anti-christ" is not used does not mean the reference is not made. That is like saying saying the bible is not referring to God if it does not specifically call Him God/Lord/Jesus.

Are The End Times Here
	In a word, Yes.

Should Christians Drink Beer
	I am not a drinker, but my answer is no. Jesus turned water into wine and served wine at the Last Supper. Jesus does not promote sin or temp people with sin. It is a sin to get drunk, not to have a drink.

Know Who's The Anti-Christ
	"The antichrist in my opinion is not one person but a very powerfull group. Who at first apperance seem to be the answer to all our problems, but inreality they cause them and if challanged can send the world to war. They control the shape and extent of our existance." ---gary on 2/11/08 The bible specifically points to a man that the world will love and follow and then worship.

World Going To End Soon
	||I believe that the world, as we know it, will end within the next TEN YEARS. I believe JESUS CHRIST (YAHUSHUA) will be returning within the next ten years. I'm not setting dates, as it were, I am watching the Signs of the Times. ---Gordon on 9/14/09|| This is the position I take as well. Come Lord Jesus, Come.

Know Who's The Anti-Christ
	Nobody will be able to name the anti-christ until he rises into power. As Christians, we are to be looking to/for Christ, not a fake-messiah. The anti-christ will be a man, and come from a Jewish background. The Jewish people will be looking for a Jew, not an American president, etc. I suggest reading Ezekiel and Daniel. :)

Know Who's The Anti-Christ

"I will watch for the clues that God left in the bible and try to find him that way. Like every one, I have my ideas of who I think it may be. What I don't understand is why people think it could be like Hitler or Bin Laden. Doesn't the Bible state the Anti-Christ will be very impressive and fool a lot of people with his generous behavior. I am under the impression the Anti-Christ will be someone that is trying to solve world problems and put on a false front of honor and normalcy." The Bible will not tell you who he is, the rest of your comments are correct.

Is Islam Non-Biblical
	I have to agree with MarkV about the victim part. THEY don't get the chance to research or check into any religion, they don't have rights like we do. My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia for 2 years. They are raised into Islam and that is all they know OR are ALLOWED to know.

Can The Dead Contact Us

I am a Christian.I have been one for most of my life. I taught at a Christian preschool for 15 years, I taught children's church,Sunday school and was a youth leader. I am telling you what happened to me has HAUNTED ME for the last year. I have been frightened to talk to my uncle who has been a Lutheran Minister for 30+ years. I feel that what the Bible says about the "dead" talking to us or coming back to us IS TRUE AND ISN'T suppose to happen! I don't worship evil or believe in evil things! But what happened to me NO ONE can TELL me it DIDN'T! I am FREAKED OUT. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT WAS EVIL or OF SATAN. I am trying to come to terms with this and stumbled upon your website. Your not understading at all of what some have went through!

How To Identify Cults
	- Any teaching that contradicts God's holy word found in the Bible is a cult. - Anybody/organization that state they are the way to God is a cult. - Anybody/organization offering multiple ways to God is a cult. - Teachings that places focus on anything except Jesus is a cult. - Anything that focus on works or ways to earn your way to heaven is a cult.

Praying To The Dead
	It is ineffective to ask a saint for help, they are dead and cannot help you. Jesus is alive and ready to help any who call upon him. Just a thought: would you go to a co-worker and ask for something big or would you go right to the boss and ask for assistance? Co-worker cannot get you that new computer and phone, but the boss sure can. ,)

Rapture Doesn't Happen
	Message to the moderator: Why do you never post my comments? They are never fighting, argumentative and are pulled from scripture. This is not a real Christian based site as you only allow certain people to post. I will pray that God open your heart and mind.

Rapture Doesn't Happen

[Rom 5:9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. We can date the return of Christ when the Anti-christ rises to power - 7 years. What we cannot date is the Rapture. Another thought - The Church is the Bride of Christ. God is not a wife beater and his bride is not appointed to wrath.

Rapture Doesn't Happen

The Seven Churches are addressed in Revelation - One is promised an Escape from the Great Tribulation - - examples below show where Christ told one church they would go through the Trib and thew other they would not. Thyatira: Rev 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Philadelphia: Rev 3:8/10 I know thy works, behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it....Because you have kept my word of patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

Baptizing Members Only

Hi Betty. :) I certainly will not argue with you, however there is no scripture anywhere to support lack of baptism is lack of salvation. There is a lot of scripture that supports it is a command from God and one we should all follow. Religion teaches that baptism is required as an effort to earn salvation, the Bible teaches it as a command from God to all believers. My point is, to tell somebody that if they are not baptized that they are not really saved is false. God works with all of us on different levels and speeds.

Is Alice Cooper A Christian
	"As a "former" fan of Alice Cooper, all I can say is that "IF" he has become a christian, he certainly has a lot of negative influence to overcome." With God, he has no negative influence to overcome. His relationship with Jesus overcomes his relationship with the world.

Baptizing Members Only

That is simply not true to say that without baptism there is no salvation. I go to the thief on the cross who believed upon Jesus and Jesus said unto him, "today you will be with me in paradise." Jesus did not say, "John, quick, go get some water and baptize this thief." Every believer should be baptized as that is the example and command Jesus gave, but baptism does not add to or take away from salvation.

Can A Virgin Marry A Non-Virgin
	It is important that you be equally yoked. :) Being a non-Christian and a Christian would be an issue. I hope that makes sense.

Do You Enjoy Being A Christian
	Being a Christian is hard in this world today, but to serve God Almighty is very rewarding and the promises to come are the sweetest thing I can imagine. I am glad that God chose me, so yes, I like being a Christian.
