Here in America, for as long as I can remember, it has been pretribism in the cat bird seat. Those of us who are post-tribs, treated like something that fell off a turnip truck. There has been missionaries who’s support has been withdrawn, forced out of missionary work, because they went against the overbearing pretribism overlords of their denomination.

Now, what is it you are saying about condescension?

To make more sense out of my statement:

There has been post-trib missionaries who’s support has been withdrawn, forced out of missionary work, because their belief went against the overbearing beliefs of the pretrib overlords of their denomination.

You jumped into this discussion by my invitation/ping to you. We aren't interested in the chips on your shoulders. The essay I linked to states clearly: "It is not at all unreasonable to expect that a prolific and prominent figure such as Ephraem would have writings ascribed to him. While there is little support for Ephraem as the author of the Sermon on the End of the World, Caspari and Alexander have demonstrated that Pseudo-Ephraem was "heavily influenced by the genuine works of Ephraem."

The first time you tried your condescension on me was with the little essay I posted regarding the Rapture. Your plea then was that no such event was ever even discussed until Darby in the 1830s. Sorry, that was shown false EVEN by this Pseudo-Ephraem sermon. Whether you wish to hold to a post trib rapture or not is your prerogative. I'm not going to even acknowledge the chips on your shoulders. I will discuss the items in the sermon more properly attributed to 'Pseudo-Ephraem' (since the earliest manuscript the German writer found dated to the late 500s, IIRC).
