You went into great detail “correcting” my use of the term “wrath of God” referring to post tribulation events.

I admitted MY use of the term “wrath” was incorrect.

All I was trying to do was make a point that after the rapture, radical islamist will continue their brutality, thinking they are doing the will of allah, but they are really doing the will of God.

I’m not sure what point you were trying to make with your statement of the term “wrath” being a sound biblical word, but you obviously misunderstood my point.

I pray that your self esteem got whatever boost it needed by correcting my error.

If one presumes a pre-tribulation (not pre-wrath) rapture, this may be true. But I am not a pre-tribber. Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, 2 Thess 2, make it clear that Chrisitans will undergo great tribulation/affliction, such as the world has not known up until that time. When the day of the Lord arrives, that is when the elect (believers) will be raptured, and God will pour out his wrath. Islamicists and everyone else who is left will be scrambling to simply survive the judgment which immediately follows.

I was trying to get you to state your presuppositions, while I revealed my own. I do not equate tribulation/affliction with wrath, because the Bible preserves this distinction. I supplied numerous verses (in context) to show this. You called this "proof-texting" (unkind).

Hardly. I find such discussions unpleasant. Egos are fragile, people take offense so easily. This forum is particular difficult for the thin skinned.
