Where in the world do you get the idea that the first description has anything whatsoever to do with this idea of a rapture? Revelation 4 is talking about the vision that John saw and clearly doesn't have anything to do with judgement nor Christ's return from above. If you'll keep reading right...

.Why will people who wait for mark be deceived? Because they will do the work of satan with false doctrines, particularly that of the rapture. Satan is coming first, the Bible is clear on that. He's an angel of light and, as you recognize, he loves to portray himself as Christ because he wants...

SEE THESE SAINTS WERE BEHEADED FOR NOT TAKING A MARK.... NO ONE WAS MIND READING.................IT WILL BE; EITHER YOU IS.... OR YOU ISN’T... A FOLLOWER..........OF THE ANTICHRIST. Just for taking a mark? I see several other reasons there. They were beheaded because they witnessed; we've...

So, from what you're saying we shouldn't let the Bible do the talking here? I'm sorry, but that doesn't work that way. I let God's Word do the teaching and simply follow along as a guide where I can help. Verses, quite obviously, are posted here for ease of reference and can easily be verified...

This also appears in Matthew 24.Matthew 24:40-46Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if...

I'm sorry but your logic doesn't make sense on many levels here. Number one, we seem to agree that the seal of God is not a physical seal. If the same term is used for the seal in the latter days whats to say that they are the same thing; that is, that the seals are both not physical?Number two...

I don't think everything moral or immoral is covered "quite clearly" in the Bible. There are a great many things that go on today that were not mentioned. I'm not saying the answering can't be found in the Bible but not every issue conceivable is covered. Well sure, you can make the argument...

Well, that statement should say 'sexual immorality' first off, though the word is also used to denote those who go after other gods.I have to disagree from there. What's immoral is covered in the Bible quite clearly and it includes anything that's not natural in a nutshell. We've come to embrace...

Good question, Lyte.It's important to remember that when Christ came, as he told us, he came not to change the law. We're still under the law in that it provides a groundwork for us to remove sin from our life and keep us in good health. However, (with caution) we realize that Jesus served as...

That's one of those wonderful simple yet profound emails that go around. It definitely makes you think. I try to keep a Bible with me in many places but I will admit I certainly don't have one with me at all times. There are some key verses I can recite in memory but not anything amazing at all...

Another important name indeed kriss, especially for understanding prophecy.Here's another biggie:Revelation 9:11And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

http://images.picturequest.com/common/deta...77/22247789.jpgForgive me for the rather crude image here, but it was quite necessary to make a point since I commonly here this verse incorrectly referred to as an elephant or some related species of animal.Job 40:17 He moveth his tail like a...

The doors/gates/whatever you want to call them will only open once and that will be at the sounding of the final trump, not some secret rapture.1 Thessalonians 4:16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the...

Nice list of some of the names of Satan. There are more, but I wanted to point out an important one. Satan is often called "death" and this explains many passages of the Bible where death is personified:Revelation 6:8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death...

Well true, but look at the situation of the Cold War. Communism thrives on a type of atheism in that national pride is the only religion. The addition of "under God" to the pledge was an attempt at unifying and rallying America under what it was built on. As I pointed out, this is a smaller goal...
