I just re posted the article as it was I wasn't endorsing any of these people necessarily I posted it for you not for myself, I dont need mens writings to tell me what Gods Word says. You can find articles for or against anything thats why you Must know Gods Word deeper than the milk. You also cant argue with what Words mean to suit yourself when ever you dont like their meaning.And Iranaeus (A.D. 130-200) is nothing of the kind he was never a rapture believer the rapture theroy didnt even exist. In fact he learned from Poly carp who was the Bishop of one of the two churches God was pleased with you should read more of him you would be better off ...amazing he believed in dispensations and hes about as close as you can get to talking to the Apostels themselfs pretty amazing that the students of the apostels knew this. Then its pretty much lost until the latter days draw nearer just as Daniel was told. I agree Darby was involved in the Rapture but not til later and that doesnt mean he knew nothing, he like all men, was just not always rightI also dont agree with all Scofield ...but the difference is I can read it and discern fact from fiction
based on scripture you just accept what ever you read from what ever man you decide you are going to believe this week. Once you know Gods truth you can read any writing of men, apocryphal writtings or others and know where its wrong and doesn't fit Gods Word its called discernment and God tells you to have it
You gain it by studying the Word of God not men Its pretty amazing to me that a few months ago you had few answers and now you think you have them all.But like I said, stay in your believe and denial you will soon see for yourself. You arent required to believe me its God you need to listen to instead of men
i don't think I have all of the answers, Christina, and I never will think that... but I do have my own opinion... and from what I have studied, i have absolutely no reason to listen to what Darby, Scofield, or any other man...Just because it was said back long ago doesn't automatically right, Christina...
http://www.essentialchristianity.com/pages.asp?pageid=21918the history of the rapture does go back even before the great reformation, but does that make it true... of course not.
all it proves is that Satan has been hard at work ever since Revelation was finished.and I see you didn't even mention the 95 theses against dispensationalism... I guess you can't explain that.I don't even know why you are arguing Kal, over a subject that we (You, Christina, I, some others) already agree that the
Pre-Tribulation Rapture is nothing, but a man made doctrine.Anyway, the highlighted sentence I did on your quote, disgust me. Revelation is just the beginning, it is nowhere near finished or being finished. Yes, Satan is hard at work, but Revelation won't be finished for about a good full Day in God's Time.
