    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Well, that is where He comes from where He is seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. He will come again a second time...., from heaven to earth as He did the first time. The coming again a second time is a glorious bodily return where every eye will see Him, even those who pierced...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    One nice way to think of the kingdom of God, it represents Christ, Christ is near at the very doors, and this also as confirmation Colossians 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    They are fault finders about anything that does not agree with what they think is the truth....And then they throw everything out, like the story throw the baby out with the bath water! They really end up speaking evil about things they don't understand. God will be the judge of that.

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    When Christ comes a second time he saves the church from that wicked age in which they live on the earth, and He judges the world in righteousness 1 Peter 1 alludes to that here The salvation of our souls is REVEALED AT THE RETURN OF CHRIST, when He comes again a second time for our salvation...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    You and I read Revelation very differently. Nothing is debunked. Sorry for your loss. There is only the second coming of Christ No where in scripture does it say different. But it does say it like this. Hebrews 9 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    yes, and it happens at the end of this world age when Christ returns, just as 2 Thess 1 describes

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    In Psalm 37, you read exactly what the lord will do to the wicked, and for the righteous. The wicked will be cut off from the land (earth), and the meek shall inherit the earth (new earth) The wicked will experience a sudden destruction on the Day of Christ's return and will be cut off. Do not...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Also at harvest time what happens? What you want to preserve is saved What you do not want is thrown away At the same harvest Jesus teaches one harvest here harvesting from the sea, do you agree with this? Matthew 13 The Parable of the Dragnet 47 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Why does it matter which comes first, it all happens on the same Last Day for this world-age. Teaching of Christ and the apostles does not point to a long 1000 years time between resurrections and our being changed to be like His glorified body. The dead rising first, the living church who...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    @rebuilder 454 That is because when Christ comes again to earth, the people of God remain on the earth and the wicked are swept away in a destruction that leaves them neither root nor branch, they are gone, burned up in fiery wrath, while the people of God inherit the earth (new earth) The NT...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    @rebuilder 454 1. The Bema Seat Rewards Do Not Equal Exclusions from the Resurrection His Logic: Claims that believers with "no crowns" are "UNWORTHY BELIEVERS" who get left behind. The Flaw: Look at Paul’s actual description of the Bema seat in 1 Corinthians 3:12–15. If a believer's work is...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Comparing the Body of Christ to a 'dog show' to justify dividing believers into tiered classes misses the entire point of grace. Paul explicitly states at the Bema seat that even if a believer's works are completely burned up, 'he himself will be saved' (1 Corinthians 3:15)—not thrown into a...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    I just knew you'd get hung up on that! But the concept is correct and verified. Jesus teaches the angels at the end of the age-world gather both groups, one to wrath, one for salvation. In Rev 14, the Son of Man does the reaping, and in Mark 13, the angels do the reaping, so because of that...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Revelation 14 twice reaping, one to salvation, one to wrath The first reaping by Christ The second by an angel, cast into the great wine press of the wrath of God. I don't read any length of time between these reaping's, and that fits what Christ taught of the tares and the wheat, as...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Their spirits are with the Lord in heaven. God will bring them with Christ when He returns. The get a new resurrected glorified body before us as they rise first and then we are transformed. Idea being they are not forgotten by God, cause some christians at the time thought their dead fellow...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    @rebuilder 454 Quite a reach trying to argue that because Paul used words like "spiritual," "carnal," and "babes" in 1 Corinthians 3, Paul somehow divided the Body of Christ into two separate classes: a "worthy" bride that escapes in a pre-trib rapture, and an "unworthy" group left behind...

    Only one rapture of all the saints, and only one second coming of Christ

    Calling Corinthians 'babes' or 'carnal' (1 Corinthians 3) was a rebuke of their immature behavior, not a decree that God splits the Body of Christ into separate tiers with different rapture dates. Every believer is part of the same one body. Furthermore, the Bema seat evaluates believers for...

    UK village wants to join the USA

    Like Trump claiming the Strait of Hormuz as a US territory.

    New York terror attack thwarted, other targets Times Square and The White House

    There just are not enough terrorists in the US to carry out islamic jihad successfully yet at scale. Or they are just dumb and not sophisticated like that woman. Other countries have more than enough or lack effective security efforts. Europe seems to have had it worse. This is why islamic...
