The Lord does not require faith of people, who still have faith in their doubts. You may wish pretribbers changed their minds, but the Lord is focussed on His relationship to the Father.

You could say that with more compassion? The OP is all about the coming of the Lord; I have merely added that the Lord Himself suggested that His return is not all about "faith". If you are going to get people excited about the return of the Lord, at least do it in context?

I agree, but I would also add that if you cannot pronounce the name of God properly, you should make doing so your priority.

Exactly. To me the faith of the Lord in a world of doubt, is formidable; to you the faith of the Lord in Heaven, is all encompassing. We are looking at different sides of the same coin!

He who is perfectly perfect, is still tempted with over-light (selah)

I find it humorous that you espouse the coming of the Lord, as a date where everything (on Earth) is resolved. There will be more dispute at the coming of the Lord, than there ever has been, on Earth, albeit not in Heaven. "Will the Son of Man find faith, when He returns to Earth?" (gospels...

Someone with a perfect continuum, is still tempted by irascibility. (selah)

You have to remember seeing the dead across the gulf in Hell, can save those that were born in Heaven. Not everyone in Heaven needs to come to Earth, to get the chance to see Salvation.

As "Mother" Babylon has a choice, whether to worship God or the flesh - and SHE chooses to worship the flesh (and encourages her children to worship the flesh).

Proverbs 27:5 says "open correction, is better than love concealed" this means 'it is better to swear and be corrected, than to keep silent and not know how to defend the truth'. But you know not to swear in Jesus' Name, right? I personally say "strike!" when something takes me off-guard. I'll...

The hard fact is that all creatures will always have similarities with others of their species. I'm not ignoring that creatures change. I'm not saying that it's forced. I'm just saying there is a limit to what is believed 'survival'.

Hi there, So it is apparent that there is a parallel to the Rapture. The Rapture happens on Earth. The Two Witnesses go to Heaven. So it is with the faith. When we die, what we know about God does not remain on Earth. Rather what we know about God becomes Heavenly and we ourselves go to Heaven...

Hi there, So yes, I have come to the conclusion that I have been tempted to be so smart it is "sin". I have approached being smart from all kinds of angles, been too verbose and have complicated what I mean. All this I have done, in order to be assiduous in my own estimation. The problem is I...

Just as a matter of interest, even if you define yourself differently as a Christian, but you suffer for the Lord, in that capacity: God does not refuse you reward.

The meaning of this is fairly simple: God is approachable. You do not have to have your sins worked out, to talk to God.

We think to ourselves "have I got the Holy Spirit worked out?" but He has been working longer than any ought dare to imagine, without His prompting.

I like the way things you focus on in the Bible, remind you of other similar things - you are making a genuine effort to understand it. Just a thought: you could focus a little more on what this (army?) means to our understanding of Jesus?

I think there is a false sense of security at play, here (with Evolutionists). When Creationists say "Ok that hasn't worked yet, I will redouble my efforts", Evolutionists by comparison say "But it should have worked! I will give up". There is no contingency for the Evolutionists, everything...

The point is God allows it, as long as you don't presume on your relationship with Him, because of it (which makes it fairly pointless, but not impossible).

I'm sorry but that is not explicit, at all. A voice comes from Heaven, but no one is actually there? "He was taken up to Heaven" means nothing? It's a metaphor, with a parallel structure to reality. You should be able to reason with metaphor, if not, your imagination is greatly limited.
