I only believe what I do because it’s what can be reasonably deduced from scripture..Believe what you will.
No.Of course, Pretribbers would deny that they will even be here to face that trial. However, Antichrist surely cuts the head off of Christians, right? Why wouldn't they be warned, instead of warning Christians living in the 1st century?
By the time Christ comes to translate the living and resurrect the dead do you suppose it will amount to thousands or millions of the living?No.
The AC doing what you allege comes from the fictional story of the "left behind series" of fictional assumptions of the Second Coming. That is outside of Scripture.
No, I'm not of the Left Behind camp, and I get my info from the book of Revelation, which we are told not to add to nor to edit in any way. The Beast takes the heads off of Christians. I don't need Darby to tell me that.No.

Then post the Scripture that states the beast takes the heads off of Christians. Darby did not write the "left behind series".No, I'm not of the Left Behind camp, and I get my info from the book of Revelation, which we are told not to add to nor to edit in any way.

The church is the first to be removed. I am not sure that is all 2.6 billion people who claim to be "Christians".By the time Christ comes to translate the living and resurrect the dead do you suppose it will amount to thousands or millions of the living?
The idea is that there will be millions of living persons who will suddenly disappear. I think, by that time, there will only be a few.
The term Christian started in the first century. There are entire groups of people generation after generation all over the earth who still accept the term as applying to themselves. If the Gospel was watered down, it is not just a recent phenomenon. It would have happened in every generation since the disciples generation.Christian’s have so watered down the gospel that they say the only requirement is to believe Christ died for them. If nothing else is required, then naturally many would be translated among the living when Christ returns. But the fact is, many are called but only few chosen.
Yes, it started very early. James exhorted believers not to deny Christ had come in the flesh. He was not exhorting them not to believe that Christ had come at all, but not to believe that Christ had not come in the flesh of man.The term Christian started in the first century.

Do I have to explain everything to you, Timothy? The Left Behind series is part of the Dispensationalist Eschatology founded by John Darby! The removal of heads by the Beast is obvious from Rev 20. Why do you ask such questions?Then post the Scripture that states the beast takes the heads off of Christians. Darby did not write the "left behind series".
That's truly a contradiction. You are in one or the other--not both. One is Pretrib, the other is Postrib. I've been Postrib since around 1972. Being "left behind" means you've missed a Pretrib Rapture which I *don't* believe in.If you are post trib, you are most definitely in the "left behind camp".
If Jesus is reigning now from Heaven, would those redeemed in Christ also be reigning with Christ?God is the God of all those who died in faith. Therefore, those who have died in faith will be raised from the dead to rule with Christ. And those who are alive will be translated to also rule with him. Those who have died in faith will greatly out weigh those who are translated because the truth has been lost by false teachers.
An antichrist is both one who denies Jesus is the Christ, and denies the relationship between God and Jesus.Yes, it started very early. James exhorted believers not to deny Christ had come in the flesh. He was not exhorting them not to believe that Christ had come at all, but not to believe that Christ had not come in the flesh of man.
What do you know about the flesh of man?
Obviously, Christ is not now reigning from heaven. Nor has he come to bring those with him to reign with him.If Jesus is reigning now from Heaven, would those redeemed in Christ also be reigning with Christ?
Who are the dead? Who are those alive in Christ? Remember that God is not the God of the dead, those not in Christ, but those alive, in Christ.
I was speaking of the scripture which says that those who deny Christ had come in the flesh are antichrist..An antichrist is both one who denies Jesus is the Christ, and denies the relationship between God and Jesus.
On the flip side, an antichrist would be those who accept Jesus is God, but did not have a physical body.
Actually, one is not an antichrist to deny the relationship between God and Jesus but one who denies both the Father and the son.An antichrist is both one who denies Jesus is the Christ, and denies the relationship between God and Jesus.
On the flip side, an antichrist would be those who accept Jesus is God, but did not have a physical body.
You insert your assumption into the verse. The verse does not say the beast chopped their heads off.Do I have to explain everything to you, Timothy? The Left Behind series is part of the Dispensationalist Eschatology founded by John Darby! The removal of heads by the Beast is obvious from Rev 20. Why do you ask such questions?
Rev 20.And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.
That's truly a contradiction. You are in one or the other--not both. One is Pretrib, the other is Postrib. I've been Postrib since around 1972. Being "left behind" means you've missed a Pretrib Rapture which I *don't* believe in.
He is reigning from heaven. What He is not doing is reigning from Jerusalem.Obviously, Christ is not now reigning from heaven. Nor has he come to bring those with him to reign with him.
