Even though the Bible doesn’t mention the word “rapture,” the event is described in Scripture.

Ralph’s testimony of God’s goodness. He went from sheriff, to marine, to Navy corpsman, to finding peace in Jesus.
I’ve never seen death. I’ve barely experienced it in my life. Ralph saw death regularly. He became hardened to it. As a police officer and member of our armed forces, he experienced all sorts of things I only see in movies.

A follow-up article to our first one about the unpardonable sin – blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is a pretty serious offense. It’s the one sin the Bible calls “unpardonable.” You may have read our first article about it, The Unpardonable Sin. If not, that’d be a good one to read first, because this one is a follow-up to that one.
Paul probably knew of the virgin birth.
What Paul knew about Mary, Joseph and the birth of Jesus is somewhat unclear from Scripture. However, there are a couple passages which seem to speak (however indirectly) of this topic.

Was Jesus just a good man or was He actually God? John 1:1 says He is God.
Jesus lived, breathed, walked, and talked on this earth. According to Scripture, Jesus was a man.
Scripture also tells us that Jesus is God.
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
1:2 He was in the beginning with God.
1:3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
1:4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:1-5 (ESV)

1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
1:15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'”)
John 1:14-15 (ESV)

The Bible says the unpardonable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. What exactly does that mean?
We’ve all heard about the unpardonable sin. And we’ve all probably had questions about it. What exactly is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Here’s a little excerpt from our new article:
If cursing the Holy Spirit was the unpardonable sin Jesus spoke about, then many of us would have no hope of Christ. While among scholars there is a great deal of debate as to what constitutes the “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit” spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-30, and Luke 12:10, I believe it certainly means . . .

A poem about death – from the perspective of a Christian.
Death. When it strikes, we grieve.
But for Christians, rejoicing goes hand in hand with death. Why? Because Jesus has conquered death and we have nothing to fear – only something to look forward to.
This poem helps us see both sides.
