    Is pre-tribulation rapture a doctrine of demons?

    Rapture is not in the Bible but caught up is... 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the...

    Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. - Revelations 16:15 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    If I had to pick an end time date I would go with the scientist, Isaac Newton... "And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Meaning if the rapture happened in their time they would have nothing to worry about.

    Is pre-tribulation rapture a doctrine of demons?

    Why then, all of the occurrences (including Christ, Peter, and Paul) of Christ coming as a thief? If this was after tribulation it would be rather well announced!

    Biblical Mary

    When I search for the Virgin Mary I only get one return... 26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And the angel came...

    Biblical Mary

    Why, then, was it necessary to say, "But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother?" - Galatians 1:19

    Biblical Mary

    But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. - Galatians 1:19 G80 - adelphos - Strong's Greek Lexicon (kjv) Adelphos - The Greek word for brother here - Is taken from the root word Alpha as a sense of union.

    Biblical Mary

    This thread went wrong at this point. Mary has nothing to do with other gods. Though I have no interest in worshipping Mary, I also have no interest in comparing her to any other god, which is idolatry. I do not blame Catholics for getting angry over points like this.
