Examining Faith

People are looking for answers. Real answers. Few seem to have them and many are becoming increasingly cynical about whether or not real answers even exist. What is true and how can we know for sure? These are good questions. Fortunately, there are answers and those answers are found in what many would consider to be an unlikely place: the Bible.

One of the most theologically confused subjects in the Bible is that of hell. It has been fumbled by the clergy and distorted by the laity until the word has become best known as a common vulgarism and expletive. Everywhere people are asking the same questions: What and where is hell? What is the fate of the wicked? Will a God of love torture people throughout eternity? Will the fire of hell ever burn the wickedness out of sinners?

Death just might be one of the most misunderstood subjects today. To many it is enshrouded in mystery and evokes dreaded feelings of fear, uncertainty, and even hopelessness. Others believe that their deceased loved ones are not dead at all, but instead live with them or in other realms! Still others are confused about the relationship between the body, spirit, and soul. But does it really matter what you believe?

Answers the Questions: Can people be saved after the rapture occurs? Did Moses and Elijah go directly to heaven when they died? When during the 7 year tribulation period will the rapture occur? Why is Jesus taking so long to return? Will the church go through the tribulation? 2nd in the series.
