Hello,I am new to this thread and I must say I have found it very interesting. Just so you can get to know me, I will tell you a little about myself;I was not raised in a Church. I was saved in my back yard at the age of 38. Since there were so may Churches and so many doctrines, I stayed out of the Churches and let the Holy Spirit teach me. I studied day and night, which was a miracle in and of itself. I never read anything longer than a short magazine article before I was saved, but after I was saved, I could not get enough of God's word. I filled up 3 files cabinets of notes within the first 6 months. (BIG File cabinets....Me of all people...God's hand for sure)Since the beginning, God placed in my heart the desire for end time prophecy. I found myself drawn to it and in that, there were things that God wanted to show me. God showed me that; we will be changed at the 7th trumpet (last trumpet). I had no outside influence, only the direction, guidance and voice of God to lead me to the truth. I did not see a pre-rapture written in the scriptures. It was a few years after my salvation that I first heard of the pre-trib doctrine. So I wanted to know more about it. I started on the internet boards for the answer, as to what was pre-trib. Since that time, I have talked to 1000’s of pre-tribs and still to this date have not been given any scripture to support that belief. I feel compelled to speak out against this doctrine, because God has told me that this will end up being the great deception of the End times. This teaching has been designed by Satan to get people to believe the true Christ will come first, but in reality the false Christ will come first. Those who have been taught pre-trib will fall for this deception. They will believe the false Christ when he comes first, because they were taught that the true Christ would come first.I feel compelled to speak out for my Love of my Brethren. (To keep them from the stumble that is about to come). I have talked to pre-tribs both off and online. These are some wonderful people, who truly Love the Lord. The most that I have gotten from ANY pre-trib when asked for scriptural proof, is that, 99% of them, end up telling me that this was what they were taught. They have told me plainly, that they believe this solely because this is how they were taught and this breaks my heart. To think that, they would follow a doctrine that has no scriptural backing, which in reality makes them believe man over God. (The one thing that God detests the most). This doctrine (pre-trib) really has no consequence now, but at the time of the antichrist, this doctrine will cause those taught pre-trib to accept the antichrist as the true Christ. That in essence is the danger of this doctrine and the plan of Satan himself to prepare his way. I do not say this to hurt anyone who believes in pre-trib, but to get them to question "Why do I believe it"? Do I believe it because God said it would be this way or do I believe it because I was taught to believe it. You need to question - Where is the scriptural proof in God's word as to why I should believe it - That is the question to you need to seek the answer for.....Point blank! God's Word....Where is this written....Do not be deceived...as Jesus told us in Mathew 24 and many other places...DO NOT BE DECEIVED>..Follow God, Not man !!!!!!!!! Man has been wrong since the beginning!I know that the Majority believes in Pre-trib, but the last days will be as in the days of Noah...RememberThe Days of Noah....The Majority Drowned.....Majority does not make it truth.
