How do you believe god is gonna saveAgain, that's not scriptural. Paul says we are not in darkness that the day should overtake us as a thief. Meaning if one knows what to watch for, it won't overtake us as it does others that are asleep, not on watch. No where in Paul's teachings does it state we will not be there. We are not appointed to wrath because God can take care of his own. His wrath will not effect us but it will others.
you from wrath?
I’m not separating Paul is teaching 2 appointments not meThe problem is you are separating the events and subject of the end of 1st Thes chapter 4 and into chapter 5. It's the same subject and same event. Paul calls the event of chapter 4 the day of the Lord. The subject hasn't changed. He was continuing his train of thought. You have to realize this is a letter that Paul is writing, there were no chapters. Man inserted the chapters later.
The church are the saints and yes they will be here during the tribulation. Christ states his return is "immediately after the tribulation".
What will that tribulation look like?
Who is causing tribulation?
Describe this for me what is happening at this time?
Where does a pretrib rapture fit into his teachings? It doesn't. The disciples ask for signs of "his coming" and he lays it all out.
They ask Jesus 3 specific questions and he answers all 3 about the restoration.
do you not know why they didn’t ask about the rapture ?
Why?Again, not what the scripture states. It states nothing about "every day life". It's much more serious than that.
What do you think is the evil day what is that about?Ephesians 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to with stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Are you referring to the 3rd woe?Notice it states "the evil day" not every day. That evil day is when Satan and co will be here defacto on earth.
If one is not prepared for that you are in danger of being deceived.
How do you prepare? Prepare for what?
What is the deception you are referring to?
There is a lot of signs throughout scripture any particular signs you are look for?That's why one needs the full armour on if case it should happen in their generation and that's why the day would not overtake them as a thief. Because they know the signs that Christ, and later Paul as well as Christ's Revelation lay out.
So u believe the first 7 seals and 6 trumpets are the signs we should look for then Jesus appears at the 7th trumpet and then pours out 7 vails while on earth?They know Christ does not return until the 7th trump and not a moment sooner.
Who will be the fake Christ?They will wait and stand and endure to the end until the true Christ returns and not fall away to the fake.
Why will anyone want to follow him if he’s fake?
Where is the gathering in rev? The 6 trumpet awake the dead and the graves are opened? The 7th trumpet transformed the living immortal?We have to heed the warnings by Christ and Paul. Paul was not teaching to Jewish people at the time of his warnings that the falling away and son of perdtion would arrive before "our gathering back to him". You can't make this two different comings. Our means our, if it should happen in their lifetime or anyone elses. It's our gathering back to him period. One gathering.
The mystery is that "all will be changed" Not that anyone is going anywhere.
I though it might be we will not all die but we all will be changed into spiritual bodies
So all that look for him to return to earth will be saved?Hebrews 9:28 "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin, unto salvation."
It states that Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many. It doesn't state just for the Jews, does it? Of course not. So why would the second part only refer to Jews? It states very specifically unto "them that look for Him" shall he appear the second time.
I would not totally deny the rapture as if it’s not possible i would put it on a shelf just in case your teachers are wrong in their interpretationAs I've stated many times in numerous threads, I was taught to believe in a pretrib rapture almost half my life. Never even dreaming that what I was taught was not biblical. But it's not. One can try and separate the comings into two different events, take things out of context and so on. But if one reads chapter by chapter, verse by verse and book by book, it's very easy to see Christ will return only one more time. Some will have wrath opposed on them at that time and others will be glorified.
If it happens ,are you willing to go ? are you willing to let go of this world for heaven?
