Heretics like this try to pass off the lie that the pre-tribulation rapture is a novel, relatively recent invention of the 19th Century.
Yeah, Scripture is so novel and recent.
Odd. I feel more threatened by Democrats who hate Jesus than I do by Pre, Mid or Post Tribulation speculations.
Uh YES
That is one of the reasons the Jews missed their Messiah. They did not realize Jesus was coming once as the suffering servant and would return later as the conquering King. They were looking for it all at once.
Yup.
bttt
I don’t know about you but I get all of my personal theology from the interwebs. Who needs the Bible?
There are at least two types of “falling away.” The ones who were pretenders and “believers of convenience” were likely never effectively born again to begin with. The falling away of those who professed a convincing commitment to the gospel is a completely different animal, and is the one referred to by scripture.
These are the Evangelical pastors who later “come out as ‘gay’” and are now ardent apostles of Satan. We are seeing that more and more now.
It is our great error to confuse the two.
Rapture wasn’t INVENTED until 1830.
Barnabas(ca. 100-150), Papias (ca. 60-130), Justin Martyr (110-165), Irenaeus(120-202), Tertullian (145-220), Hippolytus (c. 185-236), Cyprian (200-250), and Lactantius (260-330) all beg to differ.
False as can be.
Tell that to Paul. I think he wrote significantly before 1800
Show us the mention of the Rapture in any Christian writing prior to 1830.
Where?

PERIOD!
Well, I’d like to see people validating Jesus pouring out the vials and all His wrath on His own who have HIS Holy Spirit...seems to be cruel and unusual punishment for those who have come to Jesus. If you think Jesus is that cruel as to kill His own when Lucifer reigns on earth, I’m sure you have a very joyful church and a very sadistic Jesus.
See post 49. Clearly taught in the early church. Dont get hung up on the word rapture it is a transliterated English word from the Latin bible.

Ok believe what you want. But watch the authoritative statements on matters open to interpretation. You are not the final authority.
