Faith Sheet:
1. How does a failed prediction of the rapture harm the church? How does the false doctrine that Jesus will never physically return harm the church?
2. What is the work we Christians are assigned to do between now and the second coming? What is the attitude we should be in while we wait?
3. How would you respond to those who say that Jesus hasn’t returned for two thousand years, so any talk of His “imminence” or “coming soon” should be rejected.
4. Why is it important to say that Jesus voluntarily laid aside omniscience when He took on mortal flesh?
5. How would you respond to someone who says he knows the precise date when Jesus will return?
6. How would you respond to someone who says that Jesus could not come tomorrow because the things that are supposed to occur first have not happened?
