Count it as a compliment. I might peddle my thoughts at PDW too but I chose GAW because I find this crowd to be a little more engaging on esoteric topics.
It's not quite off topic though. I mean there's even a "scripture" flare. And I think there needs to be a great awakening within the church.
I believe there should be a great awakening in the church as well. However I don’t think the rapture is a key part of salvation.
Obviously the main thing is believing that Jesus Christ died for your sins, and that the father the son and the Holy Spirit are the Hunt holy trinity.
There are so many topics that are gray areas that people can interpret themselves, build churches on, and argue about.
I believe in the rapture, and if it happens then great I’m excited that will be a wonderful experience. But if it doesn’t happen in my lifetime, I’ll still be absent from the body and be present with the lord. So the end result is still the same. I get to spend eternity in heaven.
Quite frankly the topic of the rapture has been a hot topic for a very long time. Pre, mid, post, tribulation. I am not a theologian, but I can say for sure that I have hope in my salvation, and in Christ. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to be the generation that’s caught up in the sky with the Lord? Yeah I think so.
Theologians have been discussing this for so many years now, to be quite honest, nobody really knows for sure. My faith is in Christ, and I am hopeful that I might be taken up in the sky. But that would just be a huge bonus on top of the fact that I’m already saved from all of my sins. What a glorious God that we serve.
My only question is this. Why would those of us who accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, have to endure seven years of the most grueling time on the planet. What is the point of being a Christian? Why would he not remove his church from such atrocities. And what about the thousand witnesses. That are supposed to be witnessing during that time.
I’m sure I could spend hours digging into all this and trying to challenge your thought process. But it’s clear you’ve already made up your mind, and I really don’t wanna waste my time on somebody who’s already decided.
I’ve already decided as well. So I guess I’ll see you here, there, or in the air.!
Thank you for the thoughtful comment. I think you should read my reply to someone else. About how my compassion for my fellow Christians is what is going on here.
Also I wanted to apologize if I seemed rude or disrespectful with my reply, I read back through it and it did seem a little bit short. So I apologize for that. I will read through what you had to say.
No worries. And honestly I don't mind when debates get a little hot. I mean I'm out here telling people that rapture is false doctrine... I believe this message is important enough if I have to take some abuse, no big deal.
Nowhere in the Bible does it ever say salvation is dependent t on believing in any trinity.
Roman's 10:9 confess with your mouth the lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead and thou shalt be saved.
10: for with the mouth confession is made unto salvation and with the heart believing unto righteousness.
I agree. The "trinity" is another doctrine of the world that creeps into Christianity. Christians are easily pushed into false doctrine because we earnestly do not want to be seen as denying our lord and savior. Yes God is God the Father, Jesus, the Word (and the son of God) and the Holy Spirit but it is not a trio, they are ONE.
That is correct statement. However it’s important to know that the three are one. Jesus is God! If you don’t believe that, what are you base your salvation on?

The cleansing of the church is going to be 'wild'
Christ was one in purpose with His Father. He always did the Fathers will.

Hmmmm. Do you speak in tongues?
