Matthew 24, Jesus says His coming is singular, not plural. One second coming, no third coming.
"Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have not hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17)
Be honest, now. Don't be afraid to stand by your doctrine, even if it means denying Scripture.
Are you prepared to deny that passage which clearly states that Jesus Christ will take whose "in Christ" off this earth?
Don’t blame Matthew for your lack of knowledge - blame your teachers that teach falsehoods. Is it Matthew, also, who teaches on purgatory? Who takes the rap for that one?
