CAN A CHRISTIAN BE LOST?
When did the last times begin?
1 John 2:18 Children, it is the last
hour; and
just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists
have arisen; from this we know that it is the last
hour.
.
.
Keep in mind the context of the
verse.
- The book of James was written in about 62 AD
and addressed universally to all Christians.
- The verse is written in past tense, not the future
tense.
- Is it reasonable to exclude all the Christians
of the first century from the context of the verse?
- Doesn't this indicate that THEY lived in the
last days 2000 years ago?

James 5:1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for
your miseries which are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted
and your garments have become moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver
have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and
will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last
days that
you have stored up your treasure!
Question: When
did the last days begin?
