I don't believe in rapture.
God is against witchcraft.
I agree with you that there is no rapture but I don't agree that your examples prove it.
Of course, God is against witchcraft; however, Eze. 13:18-23 has nothing whatsoever to do with 'wichcraft'. Those scriptures speak against 'fly away' doctrine as I previously demonstrated.
Sometimes, a person needs to assess motive with people's actions. In so many of the newer English translations, we see 'birds' and 'witchcraft' as the subjects in these scriptures instead of 'hunting souls to make them fly'. The questions that a rational person would ask is 'why' make such alterations and 'who' benefits from them.
Now, undoubtedly, there are many words mistranslated in the KJV. However, in most newer English Bible renditions, the claims of the authors for the new rendition are usually benign, such as this one -
NKJV -
"I is not a brand new version, but the traditional King James Version that has been beloved for centuries, but where necessary, brought up to date in language. . . . No doctrine has been changed . . ."
Here we see that the authors of the NKJV, with first edition in 1978, claim that it is simply the KJV Bible brought up to date in language, with no changes in the doctrine from the KJV. Yet, when one reads Eze. 13:18-20 therein, one sees -"I is not a brand new version, but the traditional King James Version that has been beloved for centuries, but where necessary, brought up to date in language. . . . No doctrine has been changed . . ."
13:18 "and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Woe to the women who sew magic charms on their sleeves and make veils for the heads of people of every height to hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of My people, and keep yourselves alive?
13:19 "And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?"
13:20 'Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am agaist your magic charms by which you hunt souls there like birds. I will tear them from your arms, and let the souls go, the souls you hunt like birds.
and, then compare to the same in the KJV13:19 "And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, killing people who should not die, and keeping people alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?"
13:20 'Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am agaist your magic charms by which you hunt souls there like birds. I will tear them from your arms, and let the souls go, the souls you hunt like birds.
Eze 13:18
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
Eze 13:19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
Eze 13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
Eze 13:19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
Eze 13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that the language was not simply "brought up to date", as the NKJV authors claimed; but, the words were altered in order to change the meaning thereof the scriptures. Hence, the NKJV authors were liars in claiming that "no doctrine has been changed".
It just so happens that the NIV was also first printed in 1978. Therein the NIV, one sees in Eze. 13:18-20 the exact same changes from the KJV as the NKJV undertakes. Yet, the NIV claims to be an entirely new translation; whereas, the NKJV claims to have the language "brought up to date". Certainly, the timing and similarity in wording is not mere coincidence.
Undoubtedly, the motive of the NKJV authors in changing Eze. 13:18-23 was nefarious. The 'why' is easy to spot. The KJV speaks agains 'fly away' doctrine. Of course, it is equally easy to determine 'who' benefits from the change. Satan benefits! Those, who read these latter renditions, would not see that God is against Rapture in these scriptures. Rapture is Satan's endtime Doctrine. So, the more that Rapture can be confused in Bible, the better off Satan is in deceiving christians.
