Rapture

Is JESUS the Only SAVIOR? Ronald H. Nash, (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1994) “Analysis” Society in general has a miss-conception that there is more than one way to obtain the Kingdom of God though other means and gods. However, Jesus states that “No man can come unto me less it be given of the Father (John 6:65 KJV) and No man goeth to the Father except by me. (John14:6 KJV). As one digress “Is Jesus the Only SAVIOR” it is noted how Mr. Nash addresses the issue of pluralism to refute the…

Throughout the years, more and more people have taken it upon themselves to end their marriage and get a divorce. This practice is defined as the “the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court or other competent body” (Dictionary.com), meaning it is acknowledged legally by a judge, and lawyers. The reasons for divorce legally range from no fault divorce to fault divorce. No fault divorce is deemed when the couple has mutually agreed to end the marriage, after they felt that the marriage wasn’t…

These are weeks of years, not days. Dispensationalists teach a parenthesis (2000-year gap) between the 69th and 70th week, which becomes the church age of grace, essentially starting from Christ’s resurrection and extending all the way until the rapture of His Church just prior to His second coming. The future 7-year tribulation period is Daniel’s final 70th week of years (7 years). The Old Testament refers to this period as “the time of Jacob’s (Israel’s) trouble”. In that time, God will again…

She paints in glowing language the scenery of Lyme. She speaks almost with rapture of a view which she calls thoroughly English, though never having been out of England she could hardly judge of its scenery by contrast. She was deeply impressed by the sea, on which, she says, "all must linger and gaze, on their first return to it…

Zoroastrianism, and its effect on Christianity Zoroastrianism is one of the world’s oldest religions, and is, in fact, the world’s oldest known monotheistic religion, generally believed to be created by Zarathustra around 1000 BCE (Bryan S. Rennie, Zoroastrianism: the Iranian roots of Christianity?, Council of Societies For the Study of Religion Bulletin 36.1, 4). Being the oldest known monotheistic religion, Zoroastrianism has, most likely, influenced, in some way or another, most modern…

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1, 14, English Standard Version). In this verse, it states that Jesus was God, and was with God from the beginning. He then came down and lived on earth as a man. Many years ago this actually happened. It is a fact written in history. Jesus was a man. Jesus came down from heaven. The deity and humanity of Christ is one of the most important parts of the Christian…

Comparative Eschatology of Christianity and World Mythologies When dealing with the idea of eschatology, many common views come from break-offs of the Abrahamic religions, with the most commonly known revolving around Jesus’ second-coming, the Rapture, and the Armageddon, the fight between the Antichrist and Jesus. While this view seems to be the most developed view of the end of the world, many religions prior to modern times also had some stories or ideas that explained how the end of the…

In the spring of 1732 in the quaint village of Rohrau, Austria, Franz Joseph Haydn was born. His father Mathias was a wheelwright like his father before him, and had a strong sense of ambition and pride which he also instilled in his children. Neither Haydn’s mother nor Mathias could read music. Even so, the large Haydn family was known to spend the time following their evening meal singing songs around the accompaniment of a harp. This musical family laid the framework for a boy that was…

Introduction The Anasazi were American Indians who disappeared around 1300 A.D. No one knows what happened to the Anasazi, just that they were once a well-developed civilization. The Anasazi grew and hunted for their own food, until one day, they were just gone. The Anasazi left everything behind: cooking pots, baskets, clothing, and food. Some say that they might have migrated to a different place because they were in the middle of the Great Drought which took place in the 13th century. Others…

effect of treating mental health. According to Keys (2008) in article “Myth-Making and Opiate Abuse” reads, “opiate addiction was not a criminal activity in which addicts focused on satisfying a craving for increasing levels of chemically-induced rapture through their opiates. Rather, continued use of opiates was driven by hopes of avoiding the horrors of withdrawal (p.181). Keys provides a solution to opiate…
