Church Time

There were, in fact, Jewish believers who knew exactly what to expect in His first coming: that He would ...

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 ...
