In my opinion, it is far more critical that our “preparation” be the very things we are dealing with here. One must be prepared spiritually first and foremost.
As a former pretribber, I had to get to the bottom of this issue. It took me about a year, it was tough, I had to unlearn almost everything I thought I knew. I was worth every minute. If one will get to the bottom of this issue, he is getting “prepared,” as you say.
I’m sorry. I said “forgotten” the “wrong things”.It was “unlearned” the “wrong things” that you said.
You’ve yet again brought up the fact you changed your position on the Coming of Christ.....sounds more to me like you struggled with the truth you already determined and were ‘drawn away’ from that to believe otherwise.....
However as you know some of us are steady and convinced fully in what the scriptures tell us and choose not to be drawn away into a belief that ties people up in pretzels trying to defend it.....
Further if we are in Christ we have all we need by and through His spirit in us therefore we are complete in Him and His all sufficiency.......so that when our Lord returns, like a ‘thief in the night’ who comes unexpectedly, we are indeed ready...
However God is faithful and does not want any to perish so he waits for his people to come to him as we present the gospel message and they cry out...”O Lord, will you meet with me!”
