Are you looking for the Blessed Hope?

Question

TITUS 2:

12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

Point 12: "...live soberly, righteously, and godly..."
That's fine, live whatever way you want to. If you want to live a life that involves little or no contribution to others, just roaring scriptures from the treetops, you do that. But personally I'll get on with making the most of my life.

Point 13: "...looking for that blessed hope..."
Here's a crazy idea... instead of looking for your blessed hope, why don't you get off your backside and help others. And when I say "help others" I mean just that -- HELP them. Don't try to brainwash them with your nonsense.

Point 14: "...zealous of good works..."
Speaking of good works, I think that if Jesus DID appear among us one day, he'd be disgusted and ashamed of people like you bible-bashers who spend 99% of your time preaching and 1% of their time actually contributing positively.

Point 15: "...let no man despise thee..."
How can I not despise people like, em, thee? After all, you're nothing but a hypocritical delusional fool.

Answer 3

1Co 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will NOT ALL SLEEP, but we will all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

Are some of the members of Paul's original audience still physically alive? They would have to be if the blessed hope is still future. It has already occured so I'm not looking forward to it.

Answer 4

the answer is certain, yet there is that discomfort of understanding that those who've heard the gospel and rejected it, gained't have a risk of salvation contained in the few years left to them that keep on with in thes 3: there is that clause about the rejection of Christ being a non secular lack of life sentence to those who have rejected Jesus, and there are distinct right here that i quite love and prefer to be christians. i comprehend that they are going to die of their sins so certain, i choose Jesus to go back decrease back and genuinely it scares me for them that he will so very quickly the sturdy information is, a lot of our military is christian and they too will bypass. then those who write and say such evil problems with christians may have the international they choose, no military to chat of, no christians telling them they choose salvation. wow, what an section to stay, you would possibly want to think about even if different countries have a military with such countless christians in them...there is genuinely no longer any armies to strive against anymore and there'll be international peace
