    Harmonizing most rapture views

    Dear R, Many times prophecies there a first, second, and even more applications. Kind of like seeing a double rainbow. It is true that Jesus was speaking about the coming distruction of Jerusalem by the roman legions but it is also true that He was talking about prophetic events in our time...

    The Apostate Church - Christian theology of the next fifty years

    Dear R, Very well written and very true. I think the Church is in decline because they have not moved with God as He has moved. We are still stuck in centuries old doctrine that, while cutting edge in their time, is not particularly what God is doing in our time. This is why I, and I hope...

    Harmonizing most rapture views

    Dear S, I think that there may be a demonic spirit that energizes these many trib beliefs. People seem to be inordinately entrenched in them to the point where it divides the body of Christ. That is not of God. Blessings, Justin

    Harmonizing most rapture views

    Dear S, I suppose my point may have been unclear. The pre-trib people are right in that "some" will be raptured before the great tribulation. The mid tribs are right because some will be raptrue during the tribulation. The post tribs are right because there is a catching away before the...

    Dear J, Yes, I know that. But R seemed to think so. Perhaps he was kidding. Point is, and I will make it again, the "catching always" are just God's manor of moving people around. If you look at it from that perspective things start to make sense. People are getting bogged down in the...

    Strong Delusion

    Dear all, Strong delusion denotes a particular "strength" of delusion. This does not mean that there is no delusion other than that type at that particular time. Likewise, the Apostles talk about specific different things relative to a particular subject. However, this does not mean that...

    Wait! It does not specifically say that!

    Dear All, Someone was saying that "Strong Delusion" was only mentioned specifically about the antichrist. Ergo, is suppose, it could not apply to anything else. I got to thinking about that and here is where I think the fallacy of such thinking lays. If I am describing, for example...

    Harmonizing most rapture views

    Dear All, trying to understand any doctrine it is good to stand back and gain God’s perspective. As I mentioned in some of my previous posts understanding Gods word is often hindered by a type of scriptural myopia that some develop when they get bogged down in the minutia of His word. In my...

    Strong Delusion

    Dear B, The verse is prophetic in nature and given during the first century. I wonder if the spirit of antichrist is just another discripture of strong delusion. Well, baaaah. At anyrate, in our western cutlure anyway...the black sheep of the family is usually the trouble child. However, in...

    Strong Delusion

    Dear V, So, you don't see any indications of strong delusion in the world already? This is the problem with those who cannot see the forest for the trees in scripture. You look into the Bible and say that strong delusion only applies to the time that the antichrist is revealed. That strong...

    Strong Delusion

    Dear All, The main point is that it is "Strong Delusion." I believe only those who are led by the Spirit will know the difference between the truth and Strong delusion. I think those who think that they will study their way through it are kidding themselves. Blessings, Justin

    Why I am leaving this forum

    Well, I believe in the rapture for very scriptural reasons and it really does not bother me if others don't believe. It is not something to leave a forum over though. People can be very mean, yes, but then again that is their problem not yours. Blessings, Justin

    Strong Delusion

    Dear V, I must disagree with you that the strong delusion is a point in time type thing. I believe it culminates in acceptance of the antichrist but that spirit has been at work since Pauls days. This is the meassage of my essay. This brings up an interesting point. Some people believe that...
