This is my topic.
I'll focus on whatever I please. Even if it wasn't my topic.
The word "rapture" isn't in the Bible either. But is used to describe being "caught up".

I see. So you are an Annihilationist.
One of three biblical doctrines of the final judgment.
Have you seen this?
.
No, the early church most definitely did NOT teach universalism!
But, the devil would like to spread this rumor around in order to get Christians to depart from the faith and follow doctrines of demons.
That's what the devil does and in these end times lots of folks are departing from the faith which will turn out badly for them since there is no such thing as eternal security according to scripture.
God's warnings... ARE good news to those that seek Truth. 
Very positive and beneficial to the upright.
His warnings are designed to let us know what NOT to do so we don't get trapped by the devil's deceptions and end up spending eternity in hell.
So God's warnings and His wisdom are great news actually as it helps us remain on the narrow path that leads to life rather than getting on the wide path that leads to destruction.

I'm really really glad YOU are back !
No straddling the fence nor minicing of your words.
I like strait plain talk !
WAY TO ROLL !
Well, we should all stick with what God's Word teaches and take time to study.
There's no higher standard that what the Lord has to say... He IS Truth!

The narrow path? Do you mean the one that few find?
Which means God is making sport of our eternal destiny?
Solve the puzzle and you are in. Otherwise you are toast.
Is that the great news you proclaim?

Apparently for you... since this is what you think is going on.
Everyone has equal opportunity to lean and know how to get on the narrow path that leads to life and to remain on that path.
Obviously the devil has tricked you in to believing things about the Lord that are not true... but, for those that reject the truth they will only experience growing blindness and they are the reason they are experiencing that!

Yes, I watched the whole thing. Thoughts on Satans Guide To The Bible video, it was alright, some of the shared videos from others and how they may say, or define things is quite amazing, and at the same time, it seems that everything is subjective and up for debate. However, when it comes to the last days, and the end of times was for the generation of that time period, and that is something that for the past 5 years, I have come to continue to have faith, that the Lord Jesus Christ, did as he promised to do, and raptured his bride, and moved in the new administration which is heavenly. Also, explained in the video is Satans, design, with horns and red tail, and pitchfork, and that is not really accurate to begin with when looking at the Old Testament, and what is described there. Over all it was a fine and informative video, and at the end of the day one must decide for themselves, what they will believe concerning God, End Times, Jesus, Satan, while being able to view the evidence provided taken in faith it is even true, and overcoming over all things, sin, death, hades done away with, satan and his minions are done away with. And it seems that light and darkness continue to reside though, even with the reconciliation of the world because of God in Christ. People must make a choice every single day to either choose to worship and given honor and praise to the Father, asking in Jesus name, praying for all the people you know and your enemies, and helping the orphan and widows, is done by christ in you, and may all those who follow after him, give praise to the Father, and have fellowship with the Father, and the Son. By the Spirit of Christ, and the Holy Spirit of God. Or not to give any recognition or thankfulness.
Do you think it is fair to say that seminarians know about the things presented in the video, but will never share them with their congregations?
Like the creation account and the flood account are only legends. There was no exodus from Egypt, the Israelites were actually Canaanites, there was no "entering" the Promised Land, only genocide to remove the OTHER Canaanites, that Daniel was a pretend prophet, etc. ???
I know that the denominations force Pastors to sign an agreement with their established doctrines, from which they are forbidden to "stray".
And then there's the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy. ??? The evangelicals can't even agree on the definition of inerrancy. - LOL

Okay, now watch this video, if you would please.
How do we balance the testimony of a real encounter with Jesus and the problems
concerning the Bible and church outlined in the previous video? (see post #235)
Which I outlined in post #238
What this tells me, and what I believe, is there isn't a problem with Jesus, the Holy Spirit and Father God,
the problem is with what the church has done with them.

That was a powerful testimony. Not one Fundamentalist theologian can ever take away his supernatural experience.
