My ...To me, the rapture is almost beside the point. My goal is to talk about the gospel of Jesus Christ to as many people as I can so they too can understand what He has done for them. Basically, I want non-believers to obtain the joy and peace I have because I know the best is yet to come.<br /><br />Like Jesus told his disciples:<br /><br /><I>"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."</I>Bottom line: as long as I can be where Jesus is, I don't care if it's via the rapture or after my flesh dies. Our time on Earth is a whiff of time relative to eternity in Heaven.Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-39434623840525608752009-04-18T19:35:00.000-05:002009-04-18T19:35:00.000-05:00FOR PRETRIB RAPTURE REPEATERS
Congratulation...FOR PRETRIB RAPTURE REPEATERS<br /><br /> Congratulations! You are now fulfilling the Bible which says "Come now, and let us repeat together."<br /> Be sure to repeat what Walvoord, Lindsey, LaHaye, Ice etc. repeat what their own teachers repeat what their own teachers repeat etc. etc. etc.!<br /> Repeat that Christ's return is imminent because we're told to "watch" (Matt. 24, 25) for it. So is the "day of God" (II Pet. 3:12) - which you admit is at least 1000 years ahead - also imminent because we're told to be "looking for" it?<br /> Also repeat the pretrib myths about the "Jewish wedding stages" and "Jewish feasts" (where's your "church/Israel dichotomy" now?) even though Christ and Paul knew nothing about a "pretrib stage" and neither did any official theological creed or organized church before 1830!<br /> You should read "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty" on the "Powered by Christ Ministries" site to find out why you shouldn't repeat everything your pretrib teachers repeat. <br /> Do I have to repeat this?<br /><br />(above seen on web - Lillian)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
