Like I said, don't place your faith in ANY men, even religious men. My faith rests completely on God's Word. And I am quite comfortable, TRULY at peace with God, with what I believe. Do you have peace with what you believe. It sure doesn't sound that way.

So forget what everyone else says and keep it simple.

Do you think we are in THE Tribulation, JACOB's TROUBLE, NOW?

If not, where are we in God's prophetic timeline? Before tribulation, in Tribulation, post tribulation, millennial Kingdom?

Does God Love You? Are you made alive IN CHRIST and seated in Heavenly places IN Christ?

If so, why would you need to Tribulate, IF you already are free from condemnation, complete in Christ, and already have a Revelation of Jesus Christ?

Forget all the mumbo jumbo you've read about Rome. All the "theories and traditions" of fallen men. Just focus on where YOU are and where YOU will be. Rome will get sorted in due time.

If you accuse me of holding "satanic beliefs" or even mention Jesuits, Scottish lasses, or that Darby "stole" the idea - which was refuted quite well in the links I provided, we are done. So focus on the questions above, and let's see if we can establish a very small piece of common ground.
