When the real Christ returns, your theory don’t amount to a hill of beans. The whole world will worship the anti Christ. What part of Gods word do you not understand?
Well Sir it's like this. No one understands any of GOD's Word without GOD revealing the meaning to the person. No one knows Christ without GOD's revelation to the believer. The confession of Peter and Christ establishing the new church order not upon mans understandings but by GOD's revelation to man. What we are having here is simply a theology difference of opinion that doesn't give to or take away from salvation.
I have faith to believe GOD in His own way and time will guide and teach me His will & His way. If it's in tribulation He is there. He showed me so almost 30 years ago in a quiet, calm, but orderly and powerful way in the presence of my then girlfriend who could not move and two pastors laying hands on her for healing. Had he not? My sanity may have been the causality in that place in time but not my soul.
BTW her movements were partially restored though I was given the clear message "It's going to be OK". My strength spiritually and mentally was renewed.
Now older with some nearly 30 years behind us indeed the message "It's going to be OK" was true. Some hard bumps in the road but the Lord is there also.
When Christ Returns is not what I base my relationship with GOD on. That's GOD's business. He tells us the season so to speak as being such as in the days of Noah meaning before judgment so shall be Christ return.
I'm not going to tear down anyone's faith over the timing of The Second Coming. None of us know and that is Christ Word and GOD's decision alone to make. I'm not flaming just explaining :>}
