    Don't deny the Rapture and be left behind!!!

    We are called "living" souls. If there is not life in the mortal body, we cease to be a living soul. Man is made of body + spirit together = living souls. The spirit of all who live upon the earth returns to God after our mortal body dies. The spirit will either return to God after our body...

    Don't deny the Rapture and be left behind!!!

    When John writes "no man has ascended up to heaven", it means no mortal, corruptible destined to death human body has ascended there. Because flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (1Cor 15: 50). When Christ bodily ascended to heaven after His resurrection in human flesh, He could...

    Don't deny the Rapture and be left behind!!!

    This is unbiblical! Now is the time for being saved. Once the seventh angel sounds the only time that will be left on this earth is Satan's "little season", not for salvation, Satan will try to destroy whoever of the Church is left on the earth before the Church (believers) is caught up to...

    Don't deny the Rapture and be left behind!!!

    Actually those who are not caught up to meet the Lord in the air will be left on this earth to be burned up by the fire of God from heaven. There won't be more time given this earth after Christ comes again and gathers together His saints. The next age, the age of eternity when saints will be...

    Don't deny the Rapture and be left behind!!!

    Actually we shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, or we shall be left on this earth to be caught on fire!

    Don't deny the Rapture and be left behind!!!

    Why did you stop reading? The message continues into chapter 5. Paul says of this time for which you've spoken, none shall know the times and seasons that the "day of the Lord so cometh" as a thief in the night for "they" who are not watching for Him to come again will believe all is well with...

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    It appears you don't even know what/who the Church on earth is! Saying the Church has not received the Spirit proves you don't know what you're talking about! The babes in Christ in Corinth, Paul still referred to as brethren. Paul wasn't admonishing them because they did not have the Spirit...

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    Paul struggles against the flesh just as ALL who are still burdened with mortal flesh do. There is a spiritual battle being waged between the fleshly spirit of man, and the Spirit of God within the believers. Why do you think Paul instructs us to daily ready ourselves for battle by putting on...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    Christ, speaking to His disciples, (who are the Church as are all believers) that THEY would experience "great tribulation" as they take His Gospel unto all the earth. You confuse the wrath of God that shall come after the seventh trumpet sounds and the great tribulation for the Church...

    Time no longer.

    Perhaps Preterist, but I think perhaps he goes beyond that and should instead or also be called a full blown Gnostic! He truly believes he has received hidden truths from Scripture that only those of this so-called higher knowledge are able to discern.

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    Spiritually discerned simply means the Spirit given to whosoever is born again, born of the Spirit teaches guides and teaches us the things of God. The carnal unbelieving mind cannot understand the things of God because they have not the Spirit of God within them to instruct them. John...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    I believe the last trump sounding marks the end of time given the church (Messianic Gospel age) on earth to build the spiritual Kingdom of God as the church is commissioned to proclaim the Gospel unto all the nations of the world. When the spiritual Kingdom of God is complete, in the days of...

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    When penning his epistle to the saints of Christ at Rome, Paul was a fully converted, mature believer, indwelt with the life giving Spirit from Christ. Still he confesses the daily struggle against the war taking place in his mind between doing what is good and that which is evil. Even though...

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    That's not what Paul tells us. Paul says the Words of God must be spiritually discerned, by those who possess His Spirit in them. Paul does not say the Word of God is written in spiritual language that Gnostics, like yourself, believe can only be discerned by those with this so-called higher...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    Yes, however the Day of His gathering you call the rapture, Christ says is the "last day". John 6:39 (KJV) And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. John 6:40 (KJV) And this is the...

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    It's not demanding our own way when asking for Biblical proof for what you allege is truth. If you see that as causing division perhaps it's because you cannot support what you allege from the Word of God?

    When will the "sudden destruction" from which "they will not escape" referenced in 1 Thess 5:2-3 occur and what is the scope of it?

    What then does Paul mean when twice he says "day of the Lord Jesus Christ" & "day of the Lord Jesus"? 1 Corinthians 1:8 (KJV) Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 5:5 (KJV) To deliver such an one unto Satan...

    If you have read the book of Revelation, and not understood something, you have read wisely (thoughts?)

    So for you nothing of Scripture is physical, but rather all is mystical and spiritual? Prove through the Bible what you allege or I am left to believe you are nothing but another in a long line of Gnostics, thinking your higher mystical, spiritual, and intellectual powers for understanding lies...

    The folly of Preterism

    I saw that! Probably just a matter of great minds thinking alike LOL. Just kidding folks!

    The folly of Preterism

    Aint' that the truth! Geez, it's like trying to communicate with folks that do not comprehend the English language.
