Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…

Could Jesus Christ return without notice, at a time we aren't expecting Him to come? I will demonstrate in a two-part article that Biblical imminence is taken out of context to prove a pre-Tribulation rapture. Most especially I will draw attention to the fact that Jesus spoke of the imminence of his coming to those who would still be on the earth during Tribulation events.
The urge to blame has reached epidemic proportions in the Western world, and I'm probably infected as much as anyone. In a world where I think I'm a good person and right about everything someone else is always wrong - it isn't my fault.
My title may strike some as expressing an un-Christian sentiment. Surely, Christians should like everyone, shouldn't they? What does it mean to "like" a person anyway? I would say that in loving we don't have to like everything people do or say or think. We don't have to like that which is evil or that which offends the Spirit within us. We don't have to smile at something we're convinced is wrong or which we have no affinity for. We have the dignity and right to have our own views, tastes and preferences. If I say I don't like your music I'm not committing a sin. However, we are required and commanded to love.
The idea that the universe created itself and ended up producing Beethoven's Sonata NO.14 in C is, to me, the most ridiculous, preposterous idea that could be imagined. But a common question which believers in such ideas ask, in order to stump Christians, is "Who made God? Where did he come from?"
One of the many warnings Jesus gave when speaking of the scourge of deception was against the present-day cult of the Holy Spirit. To those who would accuse me of "blaspheming the Holy Spirit", or of "not believing in the Holy Spirit" I say that I have no intention of blaspheming the beautiful and holy Spirit of God or of disbelieving. He is with me now, as he is with all true believers in the one and only son of God. My intention is to drive us all to focus on our real object of worship.
