    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    What do I fear? I fear the perpetuation of ignorant hypocritical heretical imbeciles in the church. These are people who have no problem with being double-minded or arguing in favor of doctrines of demons. Churches in other lands have identified these doctrines as NOT of God, NOT in agreement...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    Not meant to intimidate anyone. One has to have a functioning appreciation of things to be intimidated. My statement that anti-semitism is systemic in the church stands. Most likely you harbor a great deal of it yourself. Also likely is that you spend your time closeted in your own...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    Use of the phrase 'anti-semitism' is meant to awaken the reader to injustice ESPECIALLY in the church. I don't suffer fools, so I have no response to your parroted ideological post. Say something original and we'll have something to discuss. Finally, I AM NOT YOUR BROTHER. I don't...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    In your post you wrote, "I believe Jesus is hinting at Ezekiel's vision of the dry bones. Israel is the "corpse" who complains to God that she is nothing but a valley of dry bones. Ezekiel pictures the gathering of the people of Israel back to the land to form a new body. And this new body will...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    Let's not get into temple reconstruction shall we? That con has been going on for decades and nothing has been built at all. It's a scam perpetrated upon gullible evangelistic types to separate them from their hard earned money. The whole thing is a lie. Orthodox Jews aren't interested in...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    Likewise the usage of 'hell' and 'hades' are references to Greek and Northern European myths. They were substituted in translations of the early Bible by Vatican sources so as to promote church membership. They remain in modern translations to this day for the same reason. Hell comes from...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    Asking one of these pre-trib types to accept anything other than their perverse interpretation is like asking satan to accept Christ as its lord and savior. It's not likely to happen. Asking one of these anti-semitic self-righteous dogmatic church types to accept history and Biblical...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    How often have I read those words. Even the Nazis claimed the word of God belonged to them. Didn't do them any good did it? While its true the Bible is inspired of God, history PROVES that humans deny it and choose their own inspiration NOT of God. TRUE, the Lake of Fire is the Second...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    What do your socks have to do with anything? You are one confused boy. Comprehension of the scripture you've quoted is NOT the issue here. Your references deliberately obfuscate the discussion. How many times do I have to say it? You write like a stubborn Jew. I ought to know. ;)...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.” You wrote, 'That simply means where He is, those He comes for, will gather.' You confused the discussion with a lot of superfluous quotations that have nothing to do with the verse at hand. The verse in question simply says the...

    THE CROSS vs. THE FLAG

    My epigraph of hollering from the choir loft was adopted as a form of protest. Many years ago I attended seminary, but was summarily dismissed and forbidden from becoming ordained in a major Christian denomination because I insisted that one MUST be saved and/or redeemed in the Name of Jesus...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed: One will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together: One will be taken and the other left.” “Where, Lord?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.” (Luke...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    God isn't defining the lake of fire. Humans do. They do it for their own aggrandizement and self-importance. The church does it. In any other use except church-talk the words DEATH and FIRE have a clear and consistent meaning. When it comes to church types the meanings of those words...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    You are really off the rails. None of this is complicated. Typical responses to ANYTHING about the rapture is to pervert the meaning of scripture. When Luke 17:37 describes carcasses he isn't talking about saints, about those who are alive in Christ. He's talking about the dead - in...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    The 'fire' is an element of the Final Judgment, not an event that precedes it. The Tribulation has already happened, so any association of the lake of fire with it is grossly misunderstood - out of sequence. Briefly stated the prophet Jeremiah foretold of the "time of Jacob's trouble" in 30:7...

    Will you be caught up in the rapture or left-behind??

    OUT OF SEQUENCE dogma of the events of the End Times plagues our congregations. One of these is the dogma of the rapture. There are at least 16 different variations of the timing of the Second Coming described as the rapture. Most of them are linked in one way or the other to either the...

    Soul Sleep yes or no?

    Among the dead no one proclaims your name. Who praises you from sheol (the grave)? (Psalm 6:5) Soul sleep is not a topic specifically addressed in the 2nd part of the Bible because the main focus there is resurrection. None of the quotes listed above addresses soul sleep. (ie: 2 Corinthians...

    Would you vote for / support Ron DeSantis for President of the USA in 2024?

    If Americans can't get past the criminal behavior of our presidents both past and present, then we deserve a ruined country, a wrecked economy and violence on every street corner. Wait..... We've got that now. Nobody in either party has the slightest concern for the welfare of our citizens...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    Jesus/Y'shuah did NOT describe what it was like in sheol. He was using an allegory to teach resurrection. Sheol is a term used in the Tanakh to describe the place of darkness following death. Google it. Y'shuah WOULD NOT and DID NOT EVER depart from the Tanakh (OT) when He taught ideas...

    Why was "Gehenna" changed to "Hell"?

    The parable of the rich man and Lazarus was a GREEK ALLEGORY. Don't over spiritualize it and PLEASE stop using religious buzz words to validate your assertions. I consider such references to be insulting and erroneous. Please stop. Jesus often quoted fictitious characters or hypothetical...
