Thread on the Rapture (and wherever else it may lead....)

[carrymeaway06]

Well, This topic may evolve. So, let's try this:

That is a discussion for another thread, and that comment alone will allow me to dismiss nearly all biblical points you make.

Isaiah 57

Think about THIS for a moment:


Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ANDRev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

If Hell cannot touch those saved, than how is the verse from Revelation true? How could it be true that Satan, the antichrist, could be able to have power over the saints? Because during the tribulation there is a new generation of believers. Those saved Post-Rapture.

Matthew 24:36-39
and
Luke 17:26-30

Both tell of how The coming of Christ will be similar to what happened with Lot and with Noah. The righteous did not experience the destruction, it happened after they were saved. Noah in the ark, Lot fleeing the city. Christians will not be here.

I backed my statements up. You blindly pointed and told me there is no rapture and we will all suffer murderous deaths because the antichrist is coming. As Christians, we won't have to face the devil himself, that's promised already. God never breaks a promise.

I just pray for those who are left behind because it's hard to imagine what they will go through. I continually life up my un-saved family members daily. Thanks for this post.

God is sovereign over all His creation. That includes Satan. Right there in verse 7 it says "And it was given unto him..." What was given unto him? Permission was given unto him. God gave Satan permission to make war with the saints and to overcome them.
