In this episode, Arnie and Fred begin a series of discussions about the church that Jesus built and what the Bible says about that. We begin by looking at the fact that the Old Testament prophets foretold that the Lord would build His church. We talk about what Isaiah said in the second chapter of his book. He tells us what would be established, the time, place, people, doctrine and builder. Jesus and Paul refer to these facts. We next look at what Zechariah had to say and note he mentions some of the same facts that Isaiah included. Daniel also in the second chapter of his book discusses the establishment of the Lord's kingdom/church when he interprets a dream that king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon had. We move to Joel's prophecy in chapter 2 and then to Paul's writings to the brethren in Ephesians. Arnie mentions the rule of twos. Listen in to find out what that is. We end this episode by looking at what Jesus said about building His church/kingdom. We note His statement saying He would build His church/kingdom and specifically saying his death would not prevent it. We talk about the time He said this would occur and the doctrine that He specified. We were not able to finish discussing what Jesus said, so, we'll begin the next episode by looking at that. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.
