Church - the central identifying word that encompasses the entire religious spectrum. It is the buildings we go to, the sectarian ideology we adhere to, it is the core of our spiritual identity. Church - the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, the called-out ones. Church - Evangelical, Pentecostal, Catholic, and Non-Denominational. Church - the guardian of doctrine, the ark for lost souls, the social bastion for the righteous. We have embraced and perpetuated a culture around this single word. A word never spoken by Jesus Christ. Church - a word that should have never existed for believers.

The Bible knows nothing of an end of time. Men have invented the concept and moved much of the Bible’s teaching on eschatology down to that point. Although the Bible knows nothing of an end to time itself, the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church bandies the term around quite a bit, applying it to the coming of Christ, the judgment, the destruction of the universe, the resurrection, and eternal conscious torment in hell, all at the end of time. Of course, if the Bible knows nothing of an end of time, it can’t possibly teach a coming of Christ, a destruction of our planet and stars, a ...
