Now - as to my very direct and specific questions to you - please answer them forthrightly or we will assume you have something to hide. I will not play these games with you forever.
It serves no good for you to tell us over and over again that you do not believe in the rapture of the church before God's wrath upon the earth. We already know where you stand. The question is - why are you so entrenched in that position? (I.e. is there a reason beyond that you happen not to see the raprure in the scriptures.)
This shouldn't be difficult for you to show us - if you have nothing to hide.
Come clean with us about your doctrines concerning exactly when this mysterious "last day" will occur and what your view is of salvation by grace alone apart from works forever hold your peace.
There is your Last day Marv, at the future second coming of Jesus Christ.
Marv Jesus Christ clearly taught he would return in the final judgment, eternal life, eternal kingdom.
There will be no future 1000 year kingdom on this earth, with mortal humans present, as Jesus sits on a throne watching mortal humans dying around him.
Verses 31-32 Jesus Returns with the angels, the nations are gathered for judgment.
Verse 34 The eternal kingdom is presented to the righteous.
Verse 41 The wicked are judged to the eternal lake of fire.
Verse 46 The righteous obtain eternal life, and enter the eternal kingdom in verse 34
"ETERNITY BEGINS"!
Matthew 25:31-46KJV
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
