And what have I mischaracterized? Here's your claim (Post 103):
"Not only are there many references in early church writings, but the pre-trib notion is also found early on in church History[.]"
So there's your claim. And I quoted that sentence verbatim (so no mischaracterization on my part). And you made that claim on a discussion/debate forum where one's claims are subject to being challenged. But the moment you got challenged you got whiny and started beating the retreat.
So my merely factual statement that you haven't been able to substantiate your claim (nor even make an attempt) stands as true.
Here's a helpful suggestion. If you don't like having your claims challenged on a public forum, then don't make claims on a public forum you can't defend.
Capiche?
As I previously posted to you, I was anticipating a discussion of the notion of imminency, as taught by Jesus, Paul, Peter, John, and found in Jude, but alas, it was your ego which you wanted to air, not a discussion.
Here is a taste of what would have been included: Paul's exhortation to the Thessalonians to 'watch and be sober'(1Thess5:6) is unrealistic and his promise that the church is not appointed to wrath (5:9) is misleading if the Rapture is not imminent. Having assumed their understanding of his teaching when present with them, he gave an assumed assurance in 1Thess1:9&10, regarding the wrath to come, from which Jesus has delivered them.
