The taken and the left

[rebuilder 454]

I agree. So what do you think "left" means? Left out of heaven? Do they then just walk into the lake of fire on their own? NO! They are taken and thrown in - destroyed.

Look at the parables. For instance, the wheat and tares. Who are harvested first, the ones taken or left behind?

Matthew 13:
24 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. 26 But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. 27 So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

The wheat are left and caught up to be in the new heaven and new earth.

You read too much fiction like the Left Behind series, and now you are brainwashed. Stick to the Bible like I do.

No need for the desperate put downs.
The bible exposes your false doctrine.
In Luke the wheat is gathered first.
So I debunked your hope years ago.
You should check verses BEFORE YOU INACCURATELY MISREPRESENT THEM.
Matthew 13:40
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.

You didnt know what was going on there did you?????
Jesus debunked your deal, but you didn't know, because while you are accusing others of being stupid, I am reading my Bible.
JESUS SAID , the burning of the tares is at the end of the world.
AHEM...AT THE GWTJ.
.....AFTER the mil.
Get a bible , dust it off, check things out....then proceed.
Your deal is nowhere near scriptural.

ROFL You say I am the one who posts putdowns. Have your read your own accusations against others? I would rather have discussions with adults who want to learn, not to know-it-all little dogs nipping at my heels. I'm putting you on ignore.

( unbelievable you do not know the bride is taken to the father's house)

Rather, the groom and his friends would travel from his father's house to the bride's house to fetch her. The entire wedding party then returned to the groom's or his father's house for the official marriage supper and celebration. Jesus famously used this cultural pattern in John 14:2-3, stating he goes to prepare a place in his Father's house before coming back to receive his bride (the church). source: King James Bible Dictionary ("marriage")
