>> The doctrines of a “seven year tribulation”, and “one rapture of the Bride of Christ” turned out to have been false teachings not based on the Bible. <<
What proves that the “tribulation” and the “rapture” are not presented clearly in the Schofield edition of the King James Version of the Bible?
What do you know about the life history of John Nelson Darby, and his writings?
Seems to be a lot of work deducing a date that Our Lord said He didn’t know.
In the traditional Latin Mass, the Catholic priest faces the altar along with all the parishioners. The focus is on Jesus and not some no-name Bible college graduate in a slick suit.

At this point, 4 years into the Book itself, I don’t care what people wrote in the past. No one recognized that the Great Sign was a real astronomical alignment until we had Stellarium to calculate it. That put an absolute time marker in Revelation Chapter 12, which appears to cover the entire End of Days.
Before 1947, many writers thought that Israel would never be restored to the Land. Sir Issac Newton’s calculations were pretty close, however.
So look up! because your salvation draws neigh!

That took a “backseat” when he got wrapped up in homosexual love affair with his pastor.
Who are you talking about....as having this affair?
I was confused by who you replied to.
Did you mean to ping the OP?
Thanks.
No. Was responding to your question.
Grk. Ecclesia
Called out ones
Did you mean to ping OP to your original post, about the pastor/relationship, is what I am asking. Since you were referring to him, and, not person you replied to.
A FR courtesy ping.
Thx.
And "neigh" is what a horse does, not salvation. I already have that, and will be joining Jesus when He comes to draw me up into the clouds. Anyone staying here at that time are slated for misery for the rest of eternity, eh?
“The model for churches we typically see–no matter the kind of church–is off. Typically, in one form or another, the pastor/minister seems to think it is his (or her–these days) duty to teach us, even though Jesus pointedly warned to “let no man teach us.” “
Actually, a qualification for an elder is that he be “apt to teach,” and we are told to submit to their “rule.” We are also told to teach in other circumstances, for instance, we are repeatedly told to teach our children.
Take the Bible as a whole. Yes, we are specifically told how to call elders/bishops and deacons. It is biblical.
The Great Sign in the Heavens of The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ (The Book) Chapter 12 verses 1-2 happened exactly as written by John on September 23-24, 2017. If that started a “seven-year tribulation: and the individuals saved and owned by the Risen Christ were to be raptured before that seven-years started, then why are we all still here now, more that half way through the seven years?
Because Daniel’s 70th Week started when Jesus started His ministry around 27 AD and continued for 3 1/2 years until He was “cut off.” The 3 1/2 years of Jacob’s Troubles will resume when the Man of Sin commits the Abomination that Causes Desolate. The Calvary Chapel reading of Daniel 9 is flawed.
If you read The Book carefully, you will see three sets of raptured/resurrected peoples, not just one, and you will see that the “Bride of Christ”, the New Jerusalem, is not built until after the Millennial Kingdom is over.
Luckily, it doesn’t matter to your salvation in which rapture you go. It just means you might have to get your head cut off, and other uncomfortable things.
Look up Brenda Weltner on YouTube if you want to learn from someone who used to believe as you believe now, but was able to read the Book, see the signs, listen to the Spirit, and figure out what The Book actually means.

Can you give me an idea of what it’s about, Scrambler Bob?
Thank you, Cboldt
