Quoting: freedomsnotfree1 True. But as fellow Christian we have both a right AND a DUTY to REFUTE false doctrine. You folks can't deal with the scriptural arguments so you whine and attack us instead. no... you think you know it all... and if doesn't fit your beliefs, it can't be true... Scripture PROVES your "Paul only" nonsense WRONG. the question is... isn't it possible GOD has revealed things to MILLIONS of believers and opened there eyes to this understanding... but not your's, is that possible? is that a possibility...? yes or no freedomsnotfree1 |

I have seen you delete posts of my that are only scripture and nothing else. Quoting: Achduke7 :white3: You post acres of scripture that at best is only slightly relevant to the Rapture, and to be perfectly frank about it, it's a lot easier than getting bogged down in endless circular debates. If you don't like it than that's fine by me, go and start your own threads about whatever. In the meantime their are many people with only a limited knowledge of the Bible that other Christians and I are trying to reach in the little time that we have remaining. You suck the life and joy out of preaching the gospel. Bump |

IF a rapture takes away all the Believer in Christ - HOW is it that there are "beheaded saints of the Great Tribulation"? (Revelation 20:4) Quoting: Servant-of-the-LORD 2. Why is the gospel being preached if there are no Believers left to witness to last minute new believers? (Revelation 14:6) Quoting: Servant-of-the-LORD 3.

As I have said to you previously, when you keep repeating this point like a stuck record: Yes many million of Christians have suffered severe persecution during the ages and in the present day. But equally many millions of Christians have suffered either very little, or minor persecution during the ages and to the present day.

Why are you against people getting right with the Lord while they are still blessed with a little time. People who listen to you will miss the Rapture and you will have to answer for it one day. |

PROVE IT..! Quoting scripture doesn't mean you have ANY relationship with GOD... Satan knows scripture PERFECTLY ... knowing words in a book is MUCH different than being shown the proper understanding... Do you see how stupid that sounds...? No one can "prove" what the spirit has shown them individually and no one has to "PROVE" anything to you, and only someone completely arrogant would assume it... ...and I'll say it again, the fact you can quote scripture means absolutely nothing without the Holy Spirit interpreting it for our understanding..., the Pharisee, Sadducee knew scripture perfectly ... and had NO CLUE who Jesus was.

Counted worthy to escape all the things to come upon the earth? Well that sounds great! Yes Lord, please! Notice Luke is talking about the sames things as Mark 13 and Matthew 24. We will be in tribulation but after that we will not be part of the Wrath. Even Luke says we will be persecuted. Mark 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven. Matt 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14S ettle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. 18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
