Because I have manners and do not wish to divert threads from their original topic.I'm talking about multiple subjects and who says it can only be mentioned in a dedicated thread?
I will not discuss this in length, but ask you one question. How can Jesus know when He comes who are the goats and who are the sheep without first a judgement of sorts to divide them? You are welcome to relate this to your beloved rapture if you like.this investigative judgment nonsense
Some of us Adventists do not believe in the trinity as our church teaches it, but that is another matter. That we identify Jesus as Michael does not elevate an angel to the Godhead, nor does it diminish the divinity of the Son of God. It merely gives the OT Son a name, and assigns the Son as the Lord (chief or arch) of hosts...HIs rightful position. Nothing unbiblical, blasphemous, heretical, or weird. Simple good exegesis.The problem is they still believe the second person of the Trinity is the Archangel Michael.
And Jesus wasn't the head of the angels then?Remember, Michael the Archangel is in the Old Testament.

Because he foreknew before the earth was created.

False exegesis. Not even hinted that the Bible.

God the head of the Angels, not the man Jesus.
Michael is named in the OT, Jesus is not because Jesus the man didn't exist until the incarnation.
Nice dodge - but this subject has nothing to do with the Pope.Since you are so good at hurling insults, perhaps some should be directed at your own pope and corrupt clergy. Or is that too close to home???
Funny - that's NOT what JESUS said . . .
Matt. 24:37-39
As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they [/U]did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man.
We see here that the ones being “taken away” are being taken away to judgment - not Heaven.
Noah and his family were LEFT BEHIND - and the wicked were "Taken away" to judgement . . .
Hey - I'm NOT the one blindly following this "Rapture"
nonsense invented by a frustrated ex-lawyer (John Darby) and promoted by an ex-drunk adulterer with NO formal education in theology (C.I. Scofield).
There's only one harvest, and the tares are taken first.
If you take an honest appraisal of the Papacy, one will come to the conclusion it is as political as any other government,
just different in that it is ecclesiastical as well. The Pope is a king...even official titles name him as king of kings...the Papacy has for centuries claimed sovereignty over all the nations of the earth, not just churches.
And re-established as a state in 1929 by Mussolini. The 'healing of the wound'.
What I meant by that reference was that the answers were simply from the Bible, not from The Boss Lady's opinion. LOL I know, full well, that Doug Bachelor is, and Joe Crews was SDA.Actually my friend, Amazing Facts is very much Seventh Day Adventist.

I'm sorry, but I learned a long time ago that if you want to know what any group thinks or believes, the LAST place to go is to a site that opposes them. A site like that just doesn't prove anything for me.From the link
Who is Michael the Archangel in the Bible? Is this Jesus? Jesus is certainly not an angel and Michael is never called an angel, but an Archangel.
Seventh-Day Adventists Teach Jesus is Michael

Why does any of this really matter?
If we live with out hearts hungry for God...rapture, no rapture, pre trib , mid trib, post trib... IF the heart is ready at ALL times...it matters not. With all the silly confusion and hassle ... I believe no rapture ( as taught)
Denominations ...there are NONE perfect, not one is totally right or wrong...they are all rubbish..."Let GOD be God/true, but every man a liar.." !!
But, accepting what someone else says about a group, instead of going to see their own words, is NOT looking for truth.In matters because when one throws away the truth in one area you can't trust them in any area.

Haha!!
Psalm 118
8 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man."
and 3 "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help."
Sad day if/when you find that your confidence in an event was misplaced!!
Have a good day. ....H
