Think of it this way. The millennium pre-tribbers expect is full of sin and death. And lasts only 1000 years. The Rapture Paul speaks of, which can happen any time now, follows the resurrection of the saints on the last day. Followed b…

Here's the problem. Paul teaches that understanding what we say or hear is the basis for edification. And he says prophecy edifies because of this. But he also says tongues edifies the speaker. So they must have understood what they sa…

Nobody knows the day or time but the Rapturists and the Father. It's 7 years after the tribulation, or 3 1/2 years if you are mid trib. Or just before the resurrection followed by another rapture just after it.

The thing is, these people are creating doctrines out of thin air with zero scriptural support.

This is the ONLY mention of a Rapture in scripture. And it happens on the last day AFTER the resurrection.

Thanks CM, I made a copy for my notes if that's OK.....

The gist of my article is that no scripture exists to support any of the rapture theories. The only rapture in the NT is on earth's last day AFTER the resurrection.
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout …

Any you can think of. A biggie was the 40 years (1 generation) after 1948 when Jesus was supposed to return in 88. This actually damaged the faith of many who didn't plan a life based on this. There is or at least was a Twitter support group #Rap…

Keep in mind that in Romans 11, faith in Christ is what reattaches the broken off branches. This also proves it was Israel from whom God removed the unbelievers. And to Christ/Israel he will reunite many through faith. National restoration? No, J…

It says a lot about anger. “And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” (Ephesians 4:26–27)
For one it rests in the bosom of fools. “Be not q…

I believe all anger is against God because he underwrites and empowers all that happens. I think of the murmuring Israelites spending 40 years in the wilderness to make an eleven day journey. In view of this we can come to a place where we pity …

1> In Romans 11 God broke the unbelieving physical Jews off from Israel. And some will and have been reattached through faith in Christ, for the Father's sake. So technically speaking the only biblical Israel is Christ and those who…

Thanks CM! Very interesting. I literally about died laughing once, laughing so hard I could not breath. So I suppose there's a balance.

How can you or any change Matthew's or Like's words? They need no interpretation.
-
My claim is insurmountable. It says the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit have one name - Jesus Christ. And to prove it correct, Peter and all the apostles baptized in Jesus' name.

I don't think anyone can counter the fact that Peter baptized in the personal name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit when he baptized in Jesus' name.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”” (Matthew…

I understand this by knowing Jesus is God as far as his person. But he also had a fully human nature although sinless, consisting of mind/flesh/soul (used interchangeably). And a fully divine nature with all of God's attributes. So He as a man as…

I think if we take God beyond being a spiritual concept and define him materialistically we end up with an idol. It's easy to do this if we call "one" one thinking materialistically. But not being material, scripture says: (1) There is only one G…

I live by this principle and it makes a huge difference for the better.

Have you ever seen someone make change from the offering plate?
Guitar music and knee slapping country hymns in an ultra conservative setting? While the organist glared daggers at the singer?

Great tale! I think it is true about scripture too. We see a bit here and a bit there but often fail to get the big picture.

God = Lord.

Only God is perfect in the absolute sense. And three share this perfection and eternity. All else is created.

If you think in materialistic ways, looking for an analogy to represent God, you will probably fail. But One God shares divine attributes among three self willed entities who are one in perfection and purpose.

It says the Holy Spirit is the Lord.

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is …

I think if we could prove God exists, it would no longer be a matter of faith. And it is through faith, each believer has evidence of God's existance in their hearts. But the only way to prove his existence to others is when God impart…
