'Passion' sequel: Descent into Hades

Mel Gibson's 'Passion of the Christ' movie grossed over $600 million. He is working on a sequel tentatively titled 'Resurrection.' The actor who plays Jesus (Jim Caviezel) said this movie will have "shocking" parts. One part, that has been reported, is the idea that Jesus went to Hades after the crucifixion and prior to the resurrection to preach to souls in "hell."' Is that what the New Testament teaches? Is this something original to the Apostles and what is called the "Apostles" Creed'? Did Jesus really die?

Beware of the 'Ecumenical Cross'

'The Catholic Encyclopedia' reported that in the first millennium of the Christian era, there were those who consider that the 'cross' would be the 'mark of the beast.'

What are some of the scriptures associated with fire in the Bible? What is sin? What are some of the scriptures associated with the wrath of God in the New Testament?

Ecumenism and the ride of the White Horse of the Apocalypse

Instead of a celebration of a separation from Rome, many celebrated the 500 anniversary of Martin Luther's 95 theses as an ecumenical time to come together. Vatican, Eastern Orthodox, and and Protestant leaders made positive comments about the 500th anniversary. When does the Bible teach Christian unity is to come about? Is the ecumenical movement good or, instead consistent with something that Jesus warned about? Are Christians to come out of spiritual Babylon and be separate?

Hurricanes and Prophecy

Hurricane Harvey dropped the greatest amount of rainfall in any USA storm. Hurricane Irma was the strongest hurricane ever in the Atlantic. Hurricane Irma wiped out most of the island of Barbuda, caused a million to lose power in Puerto Rico, devastated St. Martin's, hit Cuba, and hit Florida. A news headline stated " 'Nature’s gone crazy': Winds, fire, floods and quakes plague North America." Is there any tie to prophecy? Are heavy winds and rains discussed in the Bible?
