We read things in the Bible, then in another area of the Bible something is stated that seems to override it. Like, we read, "Believe, and you shall be saved, AND YOUR HOUSE." But we also read, "A man's enemies shall be they of his own household." Also, in the last days, "A father shall deliver a son up to persecution, and a son a father." (and others mentioned.) Now if we're all on the same page, why would family members be delivering each other to persecution? Also, if anyone takes the mark of the beast they will lose all chance of salvation, yet this being in the last days it is believed that the unsaved loved ones are delivering the saved loved one to the Antichrist. Doesn't sound like someone whose whole house has been saved, does it? Also, about death, "The living are conscious that they will die, but the dead are conscious of nothing." Conscious of nothing? Then why do those who were beheaded during the Tribulation say, "How long, until You avenge our blood on those who dwell on the Earth?" If they were conscious of nothing, how would they remember what happened on Earth, and see what's happening then? Uh-huh. Or how would those in Heaven feel anything, if they went there after death? Or those in Hell feel the torment described? So what's up with these seemingly contradictory verses in the Bible, and which do we believe if they give different messages? And complicating things more, you listen to different pastors, and they all interpret a verse a different way. So..?
