Reading the Bible

What do you know about the end times?  Will Christians be raptured out?  Is the word Rapture found in the Bible?  What does it mean?  Have you heard the terms pre-trib, mid-trib? Is all this confusing to you?  

Don't worry.  The Bible actually has the answers and makes it pretty clear.  In this episode I discuss the most used verses for the views on the rapture and break down what they really mean.  Remember that Christians must always preach what the Bible actually says and not what we want it to say.

Tip: The Rapture is an extra-Biblical concept.  Many people misuse the most frequent "rapture" verses and most often do not read the verses before and after which clearly give the timelines for when things happen.

How many times have you heard, "Don't judge me"?  or "Christians shouldn't judge people"? or something similar?

This episode delves into the verses that people get this idea from.  Matthew 7 starts off with "Judge not, that ye be not judged" but people seldom go to the next verse.  Today we do.  I'll explain the context of that statement and the things people so often get wrong about judgement.

The world and the Church both miss a few things here.  It is very important to understand who Christians are supposed to judge, when they have a right to judge, and how we should go about judging.  

Do Christians, a lot of the time, give ourselves a bad rap because we judge people to often?  Yes.  
Do Christians fail to judge righteously many times merely out of fear that we will be called judgemental?  Also yes.

So there is yet another war that the news says we need to be concerned with.  Ukraine and Russia.

They have all the facts and they know what you should believe about it and who you should support.  But as a Christian, what should be your role?  Do you have a responsibility?   How do you balance your daily life with this war that is happening around the world?  How does it affect you?  

This episode lays out in pretty simple terms what our role should be as a Christian.  I also share some facts that the news has purposefully overlooked.  Remember, to search for truth, don't blindly believe everything you hear.  Jesus Christ came to save the world, not just Americans, so make sure to think of spiritual things and not get too caught up in "wars and rumors of wars".

What does the Bible say?   Not, what does society say, or what feels right.  The question really should be, what are the qualifications for a Pastor according to GOD?

The answer may surprise you.  Always compare scripture with scripture.  It would be wrong to ignore the Old Testament women as well as the women that Paul himself lifts up to the church in the New Testament.  Some would even point to the women in Jesus' life that he clearly thought well of.  

This episode delves into it without fear, plainly explaining what the Bible says about spiritual gifts, equality of the sexes, and the specific qualifications to be a Pastor in God's church.

What does the Bible say about soldiers?  The commandment to not kill actually refers to the word murder, which is unjustified killing.  A soldier should never murder people just like any other person should not.  When someone is shooting at you (trying to kill you in some way) and your fellow soldiers, it is not murder to fight back, to even strike first to save your life.  At the point of actual combat it becomes self defense, because if you did nothing then you and your soldiers would be killed.  If you are in a just war (actually fighting for something good like freedom) then it is justified on both the self defense and the cause.  

This episode goes into the actual scriptures that deal with this as well as "turning the other cheek".  The Bible does not contradict itself and even Jesus showed us and TOLD us what is the right thing to do.  This is a must listen for military members, their families, and those who feel the patriotic pull to join up!  Be confident in your faith and be proud of your decisions.
