Current Events and Prophecy Archives - Christian Questions Bible Podcast

In our last episode about God’s vengeance bringing the end of the world as we know it, we examined several Old Testament prophecies that pointed to how God’s vengeance works in the dismantling of all vestiges of our present and sin-ridden world.

If we take a look around us, what we see can be confusing. On the one hand, we live in a time where science, technology and medicine are incredibly advanced.

As Christians, when we think about Jesus and his reason for being born as a man, we’re always inspired by the selflessness of his sacrifice to redeem Adam and all of humanity from sin and death.

Christians differ on a lot of things, and sometimes these differences can be troublesome. The basics we all agree on are centered on Jesus.

In Part I of our series, we focused on how the New Testament describes “perfection.” We found that Jesus, though perfect, had to be further “perfected” – further completed – by his personal experiences and sufferings in order to fully pay the ransom price for Adam. Similarly, but on a much smaller scale, Jesus’ disciples […] The post What is the Biblical Process to Become Perfect? (Part II – Mankind) appeared first on Christian Questions Bible Podcast.

Israel. Just say the name and likely if anyone listening follows anything about events on the world stage, they will have a strong opinion one way or another.

In all of recorded history since Adam, there has never been a time when humanity did not know pain, sorrow, trauma and death. Never.

Everybody […] The post Will the World’s Pain and Suffering Ever End? appeared first on Christian Questions Bible Podcast.

“It is finished.” When Jesus said these three words, he signaled an ending.

People believe in the Bible to varying degrees. Some of us see it as the unerring word of God while others see it as an account of history, wisdom and standards.

For […] The post Are We Living in the “End Times”? appeared first on Christian Questions Bible Podcast.

As time goes on, many of us will look back at 2017 and remember it as a year of storms.

We all know that Jesus taught us to forgive. If your brother trespasses against you seven times in a day, Jesus says to forgive.

Daniel was a good, righteous and deeply faithful man. From a very young age, he showed himself to be wholly keyed in on being in lock-step with obedience to God.
