Typical of you Quix, topcat54 theology must be a threat to your theology, your just like a democrat you avoid the questions and subjects that don't fit into your political agenda, but in this case it's religious/theology. Obama uses fancy talk, you use fancy loud graphics but basically you have not addressed or brought up any objections to the thread at hand you have just pinged a bunch of freepers that agree with you to this thread to gang up on topcat54, oh and have I mentioned you mock him unfairly, at least that is how I see it at the moment. We all know you have a disagreement with topcat54's theology but you don't want to in a gentleman way to debate the specific subject at hand, or bring up a objection to it. I can stomach the loud graphics after an objection has been brought up but to bring up the loud graphics etc before an objection is given gives FR a bad name of a place where series discussion and debate does not go on. Personally I don't care for your type, and it's your altitude that I really don't like. I don't know if RnMomof7 is still around, but if you are maybe you can talk some sense into Quix and tone him down.

The mistake that these Calvinist Reformers make is to confuse "The Rapture" with Christ's "Second Coming."

In The Rapture, we believers will be gathered up to meet with Christ "in the clouds." Christ does not return to earth at the point in thine of The Rapture. He brings us, The Church, His Bride, to Heaven to prepare for The Wedding Feast and ceremony.

At His Second Coming, He does battle with the Ancient Foe, casting him for a thousand years into The Pit, where he will be sealed for Christ's Millennial Reign as King over all believers on an Earth made new and perfect again.

That will be Our Lord's Secong Coming, according to an accurate reading of The Bible.

There are those whose faith is not in God's word, but instead are faithful to a man-made teaching of The Word. God's Holy Spirit does not "translate" for these lost, and they are thus deceived. Christ, hanging on the cross, said to the villain next to Him: "Truthfully I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise; your faith has saved you."

Jesus didn't tell him, "My Father picked you, but not that guy hanging next to you." The reason why Jesus didn't say that is because that wasn't what happened. This man elected to have faith in Jesus. He did no "work", he merely had faith in Christ, that Jesus was who He claimed to be. That's all it takes.

Calvinism is a lie, and it deceives and makes haughty and pious many who think themselves "specially selected" by God. God knew who would have faith before they were born, but that doesn't alter that these saints had faith, and that it is this faith which sets them apart, and makes them holy.

"For God so loves the world, that he gave His only begotten Son, that all who believe in Him might never perish, but have life everlasting." John, 3:16

I know that your scales are firmly in place, for God has predicted even this, and there is no way I can remove them. God alone can do this. I will not change your mind, but I still owe you The Truth.

I'm truly sorry for you.

I'll interrupt a longer post I'm working on to respond to such hubris.

1. The article's hogwash has no foundation.

2. The article purports to talk about a major END TIMES phenomenon called THE RAPTURE from Thessalonians and essentially trashes one perspective on the Rapture. A major reason such theological cluelessness trashes the Rapture is that they trash the whole notion of the END TIMES BEING CURRENTLY, IN OUR ERA.

2.1 I don't know HOW OR WHEN "THE RAPTURE" will occur. I only know it's Biblical and WILL OCCUR in these END TIMES at some point. 3. I undercut the whole foundational premise of the Original Post by asserting that the END TIMES OBVIOUSLY IS RUNNING CURRENTLY IN OUR ERA. I encourage you to wake up.

4. A lot of idiotic questions, pontifications, issues are no longer worth my bother. I have grown weary of that level of discourse.

5. The truths about current realities are too obvious. Folks still groveling around at such a huge level of ignorance don't deserve to have a lot of those points responded to because the points fly in the face of too many solid facts and are too absurd to be worth a gnat's burp's worth of time and energy.

6. ANYONE WITH THE BRAZENNESS TO MAKE MY ALMIGHTY GOD FATHER-SON-SPIRIT OUT TO BE A LIAR ABOUT HIS EVERLASTING PROMISES TO THE BLOOD CHILDREN OF JACOB can expect to persistently earn my fiercest responses. I have not the least bit of an apology about that. I'm actually muting and "TONING DOWN" already, what I'd prefer to say--THAT'S WARRANTED to be said in response to such demonized hogwash from hell.

7. It is NOT a small thing to seduce the unwitting into the notion that ALMIGHTY GOD is NOT faithful regarding HIS EVERLASTING PROMISES.

8. You are welcome to think of me and feel toward me however you think God would approve of you doing. My task is to be a watchman on the wall, not win a popularity contest.

9. I will say again--I don't need to deal with the petty silliness of the points in the article because I trash the whole foundation the article is propped up on.

10. I hope to post shortly another bit of documentation showing quite startlingly starkly how WRONG the REPLACEMENTARIAN, PRETERIST/A-MIL/POST-MIL/RUN-OF-THE-MIL theological perspective of such willfully blind constructions are.

News Alert!! NO ONE is a threat to God's Word!

it's your altitude that I really don't like.

What makes you think anyone gives a flip about what/who you like? New rules - All posts according to what ReformedBeckite likes. How liberal.

talk some sense into Quix and tone him down.

Perhaps someone can talk about your 'control' issues - more liberalism.

ROCK ON, Quix! Some want to rob you of your God-given freedom. Liberalism.

BTW,

it’s a bit shocking to me, that in spite of my plethera of posts,

so many of y’all seem to have even as much as 0.000000000000000000000000001% of an accurate clue about my ATTitude about much of anything.

Curious, that.

Clearly discerning attitudes correctly must have a LOT to do with the eye of the beholder . . . or their hearts.
