Man, are you a winner. Do us all a favor and crawl back over to one of the religious threads. Didn't you know we have an agreement? We don't bother you;you don't bother us. See how that works?
I agree...to a point. I have read various arguements for and against the Pre-trib rapture idea. It is unfortunately one of those areas where I can see and understand both sides. I pray for a Pre-trib rapture but hopefully prepare for a post-trib rapture.
The biggest problem with Pre-trib - People so convinved that it is going to happen that they overlook other things. If the Government (ours, UN, whatever)comes wanting to put a mark on me, I won't deny what is happening, thinking "this can't be the Mark of the Beast as the rapture hasn't happened yet".
On the other hand, the problem with the post-trib view is that it leaves people thinking they have plenty of time until they have to make a decision.
