Here is yet more information, for those who miss the Rapture and are here after the event. This is for people, not any particular congregation of people. Please, think about it ...

[metmom]

Yes, the Holy Spirit.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

This sounds somewhat Mormony to me.

[Boogieman]

“Their doctrine demands that they be raptured BEFORE the beast/antichrist, therefore, when the antichrist and his mark does get here, they’ll say, “my pretrib doctrine says this cannot possibly be the antichrist, this absolutely cannot be the MOB, so, sure I’ll take the mark, I’ll be proving these pesky post-tribs wrong by doing it.””

Bingo! That’s why this false doctrine is so insidious. It’s exactly what Satan wants Christians to believe so that they will be unarmored and unarmed for the conflict to come.

[Boogieman]

“In the NT, Christ clearly teaches that his return is imminent, not one thing more has to happen before His return for His people.”

Explain away Matthew 24. Almost the entire chapter is a list of things that must occur before the end of the world and Christ’s return, spoken from Christ’s own lips.

[Boogieman]

I have to disagree with you on one point. The first resurrection is not limited only to those faithful who died during the tribulation. All the faithful are raised at that time, first the dead, and then those still living are glorified as well.

[Elsie]

Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I do this on FR; but get chastised for it.

[Elsie]

Merely fleshing it out a bit more.

certainly not disagreeing with you.

[Elsie]

I’m not participating in the discussion in this thread...

'Til now; that is...

[Elsie]

Repeatable...

We don’t just give links to the arguments of our authorities.
We wrestle with these things for ourselves.

[Elsie]

But...it does say the dead shall rise BEFORE the living...

An awful lot of folks believe that MANY of the DEAD have already risen..

[Elsie]

“Let your light shine...”

Ya gotta have some; first!

[Elsie]

Did not.

"Get thee behind me, _____"

[Boogieman]

“How do you prepare for your head being lopped of for being a Christian???”

Well, perhaps study the lives of the apostles, for they knew the same fate likely awaited them, and they still managed to do great work for God in the meantime.

[Elsie]

... committing the logical fallacy of painting with a broad brush.

Well; ALL Prots do this; you know.

If only Jesus had left a teaching authority to determine what was actually correct teaching.... Oh wait He did.

And it worked SO well in all those CATHOLIC churches in Asia that John mentioned.

[MHGinTN]

LOL ... now I don’t care who you are, that was funny. ... Oh wait! LOL

[Elsie]

Christ will then pursue His enemies, slaying them, down to Bozrah. Bozrah lies approximately 18 miles southeast of the Dead Sea in the mountain district of Petra, according to the “Davis Dictionary of the Bible”, and it is approximately 58 miles southeast of the Mount of Olives

How many folks now actually LIVE in this path?

[Elsie]

This sounds somewhat Mormony to me.

In what way?

[MHGinTN]

Try using different tools to understand the difference between the Olivet Discourse and the Temple Discourse in Luke 21. Apply the notion of imminency to Matthew 24 of Mark 13. Won't work, so either you throw out the dcotrine of imminency or refigure your persepctive. Imminency is taught clearly in scriptures. The magisterium of course would not like folks looking at that fact.

If you would actually like to look at a different persepctive, jsut to see if it makes sense, Chuck Missler has a nice 15 minute video on Youtube. I'll see if I can find the link for ya ...
