How many parents are thrilled when their child reveals that they are “gay”? I can imagine it is less than thrilling....
Why are you asking me this? I don’t think it has anything to do with with anything I wrote. What is my child told me he was a thief, an adulator? I would still love them, but will be very disappointed and tell them why.
To test the faithfullness of the believers.
Thank-you and God Bless!
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18King James Version (KJV)
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
>>>> 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
>>>>( Not all in the grave will hear Jesus’s call at his second coming, at the seventh trump, when Jesus begins his earthly reign...
Those (that have died and in the grave so to speak) that are not his in the grave, will be changed to, but not alive now. They will not hear his call but will be changed, For all (in the grave) shall be changed......, Those people will however appears at the the white throne judgement after Christ reigns a 1000 years.)
The second coming is about the resurrection of those that have passed away in Jesus. Those that are his (Jesus) at his coming are changed in the grave and alive. (Then we which are alive now again, (from the graves resurrection) and remain (from the graves separation during the resurrection) raise to meet the Lord in the air at his coming.
World without end, Gods world restored, Jesus is King. And the leader of the nations shall got to Jerusalem each year after the resurrection happens...ect...

The ole’ dispensational straw-man ... nice ...

I used to believe in a rapture until I realized there is no scriptural basis for it.

So Jesus is going to beat His bride?
Just wanted to tag the conversation.
Blessings.
This priest explains it very well. Left Behind and the like never held my attention, but regardless, it is fiction, it is not the Bible.
I would suspect that either you are not acquainted with any true Christians or else you do not know what their real motives are or what they are doing in their private lives about the unsaved.
True Christians do not consider their actions towards people based on broad generalities or "groups" people may be classed in. For example, we know that there are some people who's hearts are so hardened that we will never convince them of Christ's Grace. We also know the rarely are we able to convince people in large groups. So we concentrate on individuals, in private. You do not see the private agony associated with knowing and loving people we know who are not saved. You do not see the work that goes into trying to witness to them. You do not see the private giving to them of whatever they need, be it money or love. Christians are not boastful of these actions so you are not aware. We can't save everyone, but we never give up trying, one soul at a time.
A true Christian does not hate gays. Rather we hate the sin. Just as our Father in heaven does not hate us, but He surely hates our sins. While I do not condone the bashing or making fun of gays, I will not condone their actions (sin).
During the tribulation there are preachers seeking to bring people tp Christ
With a few substitutions, one could make very similar arguments regarding the Trinity.
The term never appears in scripture.
The doctrine was not adopted until the fourth century.
It has been presumed to be a universally accepted tenet, yet many are not in accord with it.
I’m not sure if you believe something is probably going to be futile, you don’t at least make the attempt anyhow. In any case maybe it would make at least some folks say ‘hey these guys really believe this, it is a concrete thing they are doing while they are still here.’

Placemarker ... I’ll chime in after satan’s workers have their say.
I thought eternal security was the really bad heresy.
