Read your bible. Trust it, not anyone else. God gave us His Holy Spirit to guide us and act as translator as we read His Word.

If you go to scripture, go "as a child," innocent and without preconceived notions. If you open your bible with the goal of proving or disproving some preconceived idea that you either want to prove or disprove, that is not the childlike heart of a true seeker.

Neither God nor His Holy Spirit will bless this endeavor with divine enlightenment. Neither should believers publicly argue (in forums such as this) over fine points of disagreement. This can lead astray young believers, and discourage those who might otherwise be seekers.

We are told to not behave in this manner. Read your bible. Grow up.

I’ve read my bible and still do so daily, not Tim LaHaye’s novels.

Jesus is surely coming again...but, if the Pharisees are any example to us—on how they misjudged His first coming, we should NOT be dogmatic about the hows of His 2nd coming.

I firmly believe however the bible does NOT teach three or four 2nd Comings, rather only one—which all the world will know.
