Question-Comment: I'm sure some other Christian has already brought this to your attention, but just in case, the first verse says," The REVELATION of Jesus Christ....", not REVELATIONS.

With Love,

Question-Comment: what are the signs of the coming of christ. what will happen in the end.

DON WROTE:

Hello _________,

From your questions, it sounds as though you are a first-time visitor to our web site. The primary reason for our site is to put upon the web our books THE CLOCK OF THE AGES and MARK THEM as well as our STUDY OF REVELATION for the Church to have as a resource. If you will go to those sources, you will find the answers to your questions and much more. Also, we have discussed these on our WRAPS which should give you more insight. Thanks for WRAPPING.

JAYNE WROTE:

Question-Comment: I was recently visited by two Jehovah's Witnesses, who told me I was wrong to believe in the Trinity, because nowhere in the bible does it actually mention the Trinity, also they said that the power of the holy spirit was an energy on earth that has always been here, otherwise how could Samson have attained his strength. In my own thoughts I believe in the Trinity as Jesus mentions that he is one with the Father, he also says that the holy spirit cannot come until he has gone back to the Father, am I right?

Also, I do have great faith, but one thing bothers me. I work in a department of science, and I wondered how I can equate the theory of evolution with the theory of the bible, i.e.; that God put Adam and Eve on the earth?

Thanks for your time.

Jayne

Dear Jayne:

Years back we heard someone give forth with a word of wisdom. He said that he had heard that those who work with the federal agency that deals with counterfeiting are not taught all about the various works of counterfeiters—because there are too many. Instead, they are taught all there is to know about the real bills so that they can instantly recognize the fake. He applied the analogy to those who teach the Bible. It sounds as though you have been studying the "real McCoy." Continue to do so and you will do well.

Go to the Bible helps on our sight and type in the word "one." Jesus declared that They were all One. The Church has always labeled it the Trinity which I think is an apt word.

As to the theory of evolution, let us reason together. To date, God has not revealed his "timeline/numbering system" in its entirety. We know He would sometimes reveal fairly accurate clues because, for example, the nation of Israel was expecting the birth of the Messiah in and around the time He was actually born. Jesus told his disciples when they asked about the end of time that God had not let Him know when the "end" would be. If this be so for the Son of God, surely these things would be too much for a mere human to carry; so, God carefully chose what time spans to reveal and which to hide. I do not know what numerical base God uses. We use the base ten for counting, base twelve for measuring dozens and feet, base sixteen for measuring pounds, etc. The theory of evolution took a base number for the carbon dating tests. They could have just as easily chosen base 10,000, 1,000,000 or 10,000,000. This use of a base gives them a supposed timeline for the dinosaurs, ice age, Neanderthal man, etc. God does not necessarily have one standard base, just as we do not in our measuring system. Get the point. (Also, even if He does have a standard base that He now uses, who is to say that He didn't have a different base before the flood when men lived much longer lives than they do now.) How wonderful it would be if these scientists could apply themselves to finding the actual timelines of the scriptures and give a more accurate portrayal of historical time. Don't fret about seeming inconsistencies. They are something we cannot do anything about, anyway. As we have stated over and over in the WRAPS, these are not in our circle of control. What is in our circle of control is "Go ye into all the world...." This is our responsibility as we play out our own timelines. SELAH!

Yours in Christ,

Don
