Ah, true to form you double down on the baiting effort.

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.

So when a person is challenged to support a claim that person has made, you term that challenge "baiting?" That's ridiculous.

Though your first comment to me (Post 211) said nothing about "imminency," but did made the claim I've been challenging ("Not only are there many references in early church writings, but the pre-trib notion is also found early on in church History").

But I understand why you have since been trying to backpedal from the ECF claim and slant this along a different line.
