I wondered the same thing. Thought it was a new language.
A friend posted this on FB, “God does not care about your church’s denomination, He only cares if Jesus attends your church.” Very fitting.
Yup!
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
Nice safe statement there.
Only true in that Scripture doesn’t support things Catholicism teaches that aren’t fact. And there’s lots of non-facts that Catholicism teaches as doctrine under threat of eternal damnation.
So no points for you on that one.
It looks like my Scrabble tile tray.
Those are the kinds of letter I usually end up getting stuck with.
This is worthy of the Hall of Fame!
Fantastic!!!
When I decided to not join the Catholic Church, I found that I am right about everything.
:D

Actually, we meet on Thursdays. 😅😂 Yes, there is a lot of good stuff there. Right now, we need to give them the milk of the Word. They are still trying to understand what it means to have saving faith, but progress is being made. I can't speak Bisaya, so I rely on another pastor to give them the deeper meaning of scripture in their native language. 🇵🇭 I haven't seen hunger for the truth like this in decades.
It refreshes the old bones. I know my bones are not as old as your bones, but you know what I mean. 😆😂😇😎
BTW bro, did you give anyone else the keys to your house, so that after the rapture, they don't have to break down the door, to help themselves to whatever you leave behind? 😫😩
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
Sadly, a couple of family members ...
As to your addressing 'apostasia', the first five of six Bibles into English translated apostasia as departure, until the Catholic Rheims bible used revolt (in the midst of trying to fend off the protestant movement, it is 'understandable'. The King James translated the word apostasia from 2 Thess 2:3 as 'falling away'.
I keep posting material about the Bible references to the coming event in hopes that some will awaken to the reality about to slam into them from God. Harden not your heart. He is returning in the air, sooner than you could even imagine. If you have His Holy Spirit seal upon your spirit, it will resonate accordingly and you will be transformed, in a moment, int he twinkling of an eye, when the voice calls and the trumpet sounds.
If you do not have His Holy SPirit seal upon your spirit, when you are left here facing the wrath that is coming following the Rapture, call upon the Lord, not the catholic church. He will save. The catholic church cannot. God is sovereign over His Grace.
So you claim to get "The Rapture" from the Catholic translation of First Corinthians, Catholic chapter four, Protestant verses thirteen to eighteen ... preposterous; here is the Douay Reims translation. It is completely unrelated. We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now. I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children. For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ. For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord; who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus; as I teach everywhere in every church. 18 As if I would not come to you, so some are puffed up.
You keep trying to convince everyone that apostasy is their great hope ...
2 Thessalonians 2: 3-11
World English Bible1Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God. Don't you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things? Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way. Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming; even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Beware the 'working error for it will prevent so many from calling out to the Lord for deliverance after the Rapture takes the body of believers, the Body of Christ, The Bride of Christ out from the coming wrath; (see Rev 3, the Philadeplphia Church was promised to be kept even from the hour of the testing, much less the actual testing.)
I just posted the scripture where the Apostle Paul told us not to listen to people teaching like you are teaching.
Um, no, that is not what Paul was telling the Thessalonians. He was telling them to not be led astray by a false letter supposedly from him but not his writing. He even started putting his hand to the closings despite his failing eyesight, so the readers of his letters would know it was from him, hopefully.
Sorry Charlie tuna, I am looking for what God has revealed is coming very soon, the Rapture of His body of actual ‘faithers’. The Real Church, the Body of Christ, The Bride of Christ. You could be included!
If it is your mistake, why are you blaming me ?
Now that you want Latin Rite Catholics so you can use the Latin word rapiemur and derive the word "rapture" from it, here is a Catholic approved translation showing "the Rapture" is the gathering up of the saints in the air to meet the LORD Jesus Christ in the clouds as he returns to earth the same way he ascended from the earth, ie., in the Second Coming the angels told the Apostles about; He is coming to judge the living and the dead. This happens after the apostasy, just as the Apostle Paul wrote.
We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, console one another with these words.
