The following is an outline of basic Christian Doctrine. It's brief, accurate, and informative. As with any venture into learning you must first begin with the basics. The basics are the foundation of your Christian life. If you learn what is here, you will be well informed and knowledgeable. All you need to do is get grounded in the fundamentals and from there cultivate your Christian walk: "Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity" (Heb. 6:1). A building is only as strong as its foundation. 1. The Bible The Bible consists of 66 books: 39 in the OT and 27 in the new. (Note: 3 x 9 = 27). The OT has 23,214 verses. The NT has 7,959 verses. 2. The Bible took about 1600 years to write. It was written in three languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek) by about 40 authors and is internally consistent throughout. It was written on three continents: Africa, Asia, and Europe. It was written by a variety of people: prophets, priest, cupbearer, a king, judges, fishermen, etc. The first translation of the English Bible was initiated by John Wycliffe and completed by John Purvey in A.D. 1388. The first American edition of the Bible was perhaps published some time before A.D. 1752. The Bible has been translated in part or in whole as of 1964 in over 1,200 different languages or dialects. The Bible was divided into chapters by Stephen Langton about A.D. 1228. The Old Testament was divided into verses by R. Nathan in A.D. 1448 and the New Testament by Robert Stephanus in A.D. 1551. Old Testament -- a total of 39 books and has 5 main divisions: Pentateuch (Genesis to Deuteronomy), Historical (Joshua to Esther), Poetic (Job to Song of Solomon), Major Prophets (Isaiah to Daniel), Minor Prophets (Hosea to Malachi). New Testament -- a total of 27 books and has 4 main divisions Gospels (Matthew to John), History (Acts), Epistles (Romans to Jude), Prophetic (Revelation). Reliability of the biblical documents. The Bible is 98½ percent textually pure. This means that through all the copying of the Biblical manuscripts of the entire Bible, only 1½% has any question about it. Nothing in all of the ancient writings of the entire world even approaches the accuracy of transmission found in the biblical documents. The 1½ percent that is in question does not affect doctrine. The areas of interest are called variants and they consist mainly in variations of wording and spelling. The OT does not have as many supporting manuscripts as the NT but it is, nevertheless, remarkably reliable. The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew OT done around 250 B.C., attests to the reliability and consistency of the OT when it is compared to existing Hebrew manuscripts. The Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in 1947 also verify the reliability of the OT manuscripts. The Dead Sea Scrolls were ancient documents that were hidden in a cave in Israel about 2000 years ago. The scrolls contained many OT books, one of them being Isaiah. Before the Dead Sea scrolls, the earliest existing manuscript of the OT was dated around 900 A.D. called the Masoretic Text. The Scrolls contained OT documents 1000 years earlier. A comparison between the manuscripts revealed an incredible accuracy of transmission through copying, so much so that critics were silenced. The NT has over 5000 supporting Greek manuscripts existing today with another 20,000 manuscripts in other languages. Some of the manuscript evidence dates to within 100 years of the original writing. There is less than a 1% textual variation in the NT manuscripts. Estimated time of writing of the NT documents Paul's Letters, 50-66 A.D. Matthew, 70-80 A.D. Mark, 50-65 A.D. Luke, early 60's John, 80-100 A.D. Revelation 96 A.D. Some of the supporting manuscripts of the NT are: John Rylands MS written around 130 A.D., the oldest existing fragment of the NT Bodmer Papyrus II (150-200 A.D.) Chester Beatty Papyri (200 A.D.), contains major portions of the NT Codex Vaticanus (325-350 A.D.), contains nearly all the Bible. Codex Sinaiticus (350 A.D.), contains almost all the NT and over half of the OT No other ancient writing can boast of having copies so close to the original time of writing. With the Bible, the difference is about 50 years. With Plato and Aristotle, for example, the difference is measure in hundreds of years. Prophecy and mathematical odds of fulfillment. The odds of Jesus fulfilling 48 of the 61 major prophecies concerning Him are 1 in 10157; that is a one with 157 zeros behind it. By comparison, the estimated number of electrons in the entire known universe is about 1079; that is a one with 79 zeros behind it. Inspiration and Inerrancy - The Bible is inspired by God. Inspiration means that God, through the Holy Spirit, caused the writers of the Bible to write the accurate and authoritative revelation of God. It is God breathed (2 Tim. 3:16) through the instrumentation of the apostles and prophets (2 Pet. 1:21). It is without error in the original manuscripts and absolutely reliable and true in all areas it addresses. Every true Christian accepts the inspiration and authority of the Bible. Scientific Accuracies in the Bible. The spherical shape of the earth (Isaiah 40:22). The earth is suspended in nothing (Job. 26:7). The stars are innumerable (Gen. 15:5). The existence of valleys in the seas (2 Sam. 22:16). The existence of springs and fountains in the sea (Gen. 7:11; 8:2; Prov. 8:28). The existence of water paths (ocean currents) in the seas (Psalm 8:8). The water cycle (Job. 26:8; 36:27-28; 37:16; 38:25-27; Psalm 135:7; Ecc. 1:6-7). The fact that all living things reproduce after their own kind (Gen. 1:21; 6:19). The nature of health, sanitation, and sickness (Gen. 17:9-14; Lev. 12-14). The concept of entropy, that energy is running down (Psalm 102:26). 2. God God is the only Supreme Being. He is Holy (Rev. 4:8), Eternal (Isaiah 57:15), Omnipotent (Jer. 32:17,27), Omnipresent (Psalm 119:7-12), Omniscient (1 John 3:20); etc. He is Love (1 John 4:8,16); Light (1 John 1:5); Spirit (John 4:24); Truth (Psalm 117:2); Creator (Isaiah 40:12,22,26), etc. He is to be worshiped (Gen. 24:26; Exodus 4:31; 2 Chron. 29:28; 1 Cor. 14:25; Rev. 7:11). He is to be served (Matt. 4:10; 1 Cor. 6:19; Phil. 3:7; 1 Thess. 1:9; Heb. 9:14). He is to be proclaimed (Matt. 28:19f.; John 14:15f.; Acts 1:8) "To worship God is to serve and proclaim Him; to serve God is to proclaim and worship Him; to proclaim God is to worship and serve Him." The name of God is Jehovah, or Yahweh. It is comprised of the four Hebrew consonants . The precise pronunciation of God's name has been lost. In Exodus 3:14 God proclaims His name to be "I AM." "God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.'" (NIV) God is a Trinity - One God who exists simultaneously in three persons. Each is coequal, copowerful, and coeternal with the other. Each person, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is not the other. Without either there is no God; all comprise the one God. The Doctrine of the Trinity is opposed to: Modal Monarchianism, also known as Jesus Only - There is one person in the Godhead who took three consecutive forms or modes. First there was the Father who then became the Son who then became the Holy Spirit. Present groups are the United Pentecostal and United Apostolic churches. This doctrine is incorrect. It denies the true doctrine of the Trinity. Dynamic Monarchianism - Only one person in the Godhead, the Father. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are not God. Present groups are the Jehovah's Witnesses, World Wide Church of God, Christadelphianism, and The Way International. This doctrine is incorrect. It denies the Trinity, the deity of Christ, and the deity of the Holy Spirit. Tritheism – the teaching that the godhead is three separate gods: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Christianity is monotheistic - Only one God in existence, anywhere, anytime. See Isaiah Isaiah 43:10; 44:6,8; 45:5,14,18,21,22; 46:9; 47:8; John 17:3; 1 Cor. 8:5-6; Gal. 4:8-9 for verses that teach monotheism. Christianity is opposed to: Polytheism - Belief in many Gods. Monolatry - Belief in more than one God but serve and worship only one, i.e. Mormonism. Henotheism - Belief in one God without denying the existence of others. Pantheism - This is an identification of the universe with God. God is the universe. God is creation. Panentheism - The belief that God is in the universe. It differs with pantheism which states that God is the universe and all that it comprises. Deism - God exists, but is not involved in the world. Theism - God exists, and is involved in the world. Creation God created the physical and spiritual universe out of nothing (Gen. 1:1f; Psalm 33:6; John 1:3; Rom. 4:17; 1 Cor. 1:28). He did not make the world out of part of Himself. He did not make the world out of a substance called "nothing." Specifically it was Jesus, the firstborn (Col. 1:15), second person of the Trinity, who created all things (Col. 1:16-17; Isaiah 44:24). Because God created all things, He is before all things and beyond all things. Therefore, the entire universe is under His control. Because God created all things, He is able to provide for His creation through the means of His creation, i.e. weather, rain, plants, animals, sunshine, etc. Opinions on the duration of creation differ. Some say six days; others say six long periods. Man Creation of man Man is not only the crown of creation, but also the object of God's special care. Man was originally made pure, without sin. "Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them" (Gen. 1:26-27; see also, 2:7,21-23). "Let us make man..." is a disclosure of the divine counsel before the creation of man, "us" being the Trinitarian counsel. See also Gen. 11:7. Man was created different than the animals. He had the breath of life breathed into him from God (Gen. 2:7). The animals did not. Also Man was given dominion over the animals. Man can know God, worship Him, and love Him. Animals cannot. Is Man made of two or three "parts"? Dichotomy is a term which signifies a division into 2 parts: Body and Soul. The words "spirit" and "soul" are often used interchangeably. "Mary said: ‘My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,'" (Luke 1:46-47). "My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you...," (Isaiah 26:9). For the term "Body and Soul" see Matt. 6:25; 10:28. For the term "Body and Spirit" see 1 Cor. 5:3,51. Trichotomy is a term which signifies a division into 3 parts: Body, Soul, and Spirit. "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thess. 5:23). "For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart," (Heb. 4:12). There is no official orthodox position on the number of parts of man. The Origin of the soul Traducianism: "The souls of men are propagated along with the bodies by generation, and are therefore transmitted to the children by the parents." (Berkhoff, Systematic Theology. p. 197.) Creationism: "The soul is a creation of God, owing its origin to a direct creative act." (Berkhoff, p. 199). Except for Adam, the Bible makes no clear remark regarding the origin of the soul. Man was created in the image of God. This means that Man has moral and intellectual abilities similar to God though not as perfect and vast. "God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness...'" (Gen. 1:26)and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator" (Col. 3:10). Man is above the animals in "rational ability, moral awareness, pursuit of beauty, use of language, and spiritual awareness." Man before the Fall. The Law of God was written in their hearts. Adam and Eve were without sin and "endued with knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness after God's own image, with the ability to keep the Law of God." (Westminster Confession of Faith, 4:2.) In this state man had free and unhindered access to God. This is exemplified in the account in Gen. 3:8 where God was walking in the Garden. Man, the Fall, and its effects Adam and Eve rebelled against God and sinned by eating the forbidden fruit. "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned" (Rom. 5:12, NIV). What was their sin? They listened to Satan and ate of the fruit that was forbidden by God (Gen. 3:1-13). What was the consequence of their sin? Death (Rom. 6:23) and separation from God's presence (Isaiah 59:2) Transmission of the sin nature to their (and our) children (Psalm 51:5). Creation also fell (Gen. 3:17; Rom. 8:22). How did their sin affect God? They became unfit for the presence of God (Isaiah 59:2). They became unable to do God's will (Rom. 6:16; 7:14). They became subject to the curse of the Law and death (Deut. 27:26; Rom. 6:23). Original Sin - The doctrine that we inherit our sin natures from Adam (Rom. 5:12-21). Adam was the Federal Head of all humanity; that is, he represented all people in the Garden of Eden. "For as in Adam all die..." (1 Cor. 15:22). The phrase "in Adam" indicates our relation to Adam, that he represented us in the garden. In the same way, our being "in Christ" indicates our relation to Jesus, that He represent us on the cross (Rom. 5:18; 6:11; 8:1; 1 Cor. 1:2; 15:22; 2 Cor. 5:19). Our sin with Adam: "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned" (Rom. 5:12). See also Rom. 5:18; 1 Cor. 15:22. Man after Death and before the resurrection. The intermediate state This is the condition of the soul between the death of the body and the resurrection. There is little spoken of it in the Bible, but it is a state of consciousness (2 Cor. 5:5-8; Luke 16:19-31). We are self aware and, apparently, with the Lord (Phil. 1:21-23). For the righteous this is a time of blessedness and joy (Luke 16:19-31). For the unrighteous this is a time of suffering (Luke 16:19-31) as is exemplified in the account of Lazarus and the rich man. |

Christian Doctrine 1. There is only one God – Isaiah 43:10; Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Isaiah 44:6,8; Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. 7. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. 8. Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any. John 17:3; And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 1 Cor. 8:5-6; 5. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Gal. 4:8-9 8. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods. 9. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 2. God is a Trinity 2 Cor. 13:14; 14. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. 1 Pet. 1:2 2. Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 3. There are no Gods before or after God – Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 4. God knows all things – 1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 5. God is all powerful – Psalm 115:3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 6. God is everywhere – Jer. 23:23,24 23. Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? 24. Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord. 7. God is sovereign – Zech. 9:14; And the Lord shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south. 1 Tim. 6:15-16 15. Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of Lords; 16. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 8. God is spirit – John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 9. God created all that exists – Gen. 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 10. Spirit does not have a body of flesh and bones – Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 11. God has always been God – Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 12. Jesus is God – John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14; And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 10:30-33 30. I and my Father are one. 31. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Col. 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. Phil. 2:5-8 5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Heb. 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 13. Jesus became a man – Phil. 2:5-8 5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 14. Jesus has two natures: divine and human – Col. 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 1 Tim. 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 15. Jesus was sinless – 1 Pet. 2:22 22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 16. Jesus is the only way to God the Father – John 14:6 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Matt. 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Luke 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. 17. The Holy Spirit is God – Acts 5:3-4 3. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4. Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 18. The Holy Spirit is not a force. He is alive – Acts 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 19. The Bible is inspired by God – 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 20. All people have sinned – Rom. 3:23, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 21. Man did not evolve, he was created – Gen. 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 22. Adam and Eve were real people – Gen. 3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 1 Tim. 2:13 . For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 23. Death entered the world because of Adam's sin – Rom. 5:12-15 12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13. (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 24. Sin separates us from God – Isaiah 59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 25. Jesus died for all our sins – 1 John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 2 Cor. 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 1 Pet. 2:24 . Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 26. Jesus' sacrifice was a substitution, for us – 1 Pet. 2:24 . Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 27. Jesus rose from the dead in His physical body – John 2:19-21 19. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21. But he spake of the temple of his body. 28. Those who reject Jesus will go to Hell – Rev. 20:11-15 11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 29. Hell is a place of fiery punishment – Matt. 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Rev. 19:20 20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 30. Hell is eternal – Matt. 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. |

Here are the 30 through 40. I see there are other verses from this same poast that I would like to haul out and post for all to meditate on.
30. Hell is eternal – Matt. 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. 31. The unsaved go to hell forever – Rev. 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 32. Salvation is a free gift of God – Rom. 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Rom. 6:23 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Eph. 2:8-9 8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest any man should boast. 33. The Bible is the Word of God – 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 34. Jesus will return visibly to earth – Acts 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. 35. Christians will be raised from the dead when Jesus returns – 1 Thess. 4:14-17 14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 36. There will be a rapture (being caught up into the clouds with Jesus) – 1 Thess. 4:14-17 Same as above 37. There will be a final judgment – 2 Pet. 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 38. The damned will be thrown into a lake of fire – Rev. 20:15 15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 39. Satan will be cast into the lake of fire – Rev. 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 40. There will be a new heavens and a new earth – 2 Pet. 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Rev. 21:1 20. The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. |
