Matthew 24 and Luke 21 seem to show that the great tribulation involves a Jewish remnant after the church has gone. The background to Matthew 24 is strongly Jewish.

@robert derrick I see you believe in what is known historically as the Gap Theory. I think Thomas Chalmers was someone who spearheaded this viewpoint; a Godly man in many ways.

Hi, Sir; even the great Spurgeon smoked (in a different era, etc.). One of course cannot elevate cultural preferences and customs to the level of theology and then use them as a measure to pronounce verdicts on other people's spirituality. My wife and I talked to a young woman with the whole of...

Great verses there...

A W Pink is in some ways similar to both J I Packer and R B Kuiper, in his helpful dealings with the subject of Divine sovereignty.

Hi, Sir; what happens sometimes is that in some circles preferences and customs are elevated to the level of theology and then imposed on others, whereas Scripture itself may not particularly say anything specific.

@My Dreams May the distribution be blessed and may they be read!

@ChildofGod234 FYI......

@ChildofGod234 YW; keep looking up (Hebrews 12.2: "looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith").

Hebrews 1: "He...by Himself purged our sins".

Hi, @ChildofGod234 ; good to see you on the forums.

Hi @ChildofGod234 Good to see you. You yourself can't be responsible for family behaviour; but prayer and the Scriptures can put the believer's own life in harmony with the Lord. John's First Epistle says things about walking in the light. If we ourselves are truly walking with the Lord by His...
