last paragraph of posting:
When I hear a Christian say, “I just want to be taken away from it all,” I wonder what would happen if that desire was granted? Without Holy Spirit-filled people doing what they’ve been called to do, our country will most certainly fall apart from the unsustainable weight of sin and iniquity in it and its governance – something that will ultimately happen during the rapture of the church.
My comment:
How much of the bad future outlook is BECAUSE a sizable portion of Christians think they are going to “fly away” from the times of trouble?
A good example would be a Football team losing a game, yet sitting on the bench talking about going to the dance. Guess which side is not coming back to win?
Pre-Trib rapture Christians are planning to be flown out before things get really bad. How hard are they really fighting?
My point is clear, believing in a supernatural snatchus-off-this-planet-it’s-gettin’-ruff, is bad for society, the believers and America.
I have faith that Christ is coming back, but I live like it will happen when we least expect it. So I don’t quit my job which is keeping government honest and working on protecting us from what is now in power in DC and Chyna.
None.
Your thought processes make no sense and I have never met anyone who thinks the way you wish they did.
Hypotheticals are terrible things to try to build an argument on.
“How much of the bad future outlook is BECAUSE a sizable portion of Christians think they are going to “fly away” from the times of trouble?”
Nearly all of the bad future outlook is due to the 19th century philosophy of pre tribulation rapture.
