Do Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4 Refer to the Same Second Coming?
Here is an interesting question, “Is the return of Christ described in Matthew 24 and 1 Thessalonians 4 the same?” Passage #1: Paul Describes Return of Jesus in I Thessalonians 4 “According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still…

Where Do Spirits Go After Death?
In a previous post we established people have both a body and spirit. Recapping: “For you are dust, And to dust you shall return." (Gen 3:19) "May the Lord, the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community…” (Numbers 27:16)…
