Bible Discussion Thread

Okay I prevaricated (look that one up).

I thought about it and it seems prudent for me to discuss exactly how we should handle proclaiming that we are escaping in the Rapture. I will offer my (condolences; not sure how to word it) to those not espousing this eschatology.

Now we can't make people happy who want to be ambivalent toward the Gospel but we can attempt not to be glib as accused in having some sort of superiority complex enjoying escaping the earth and knowing that so much suffering will be in the world which we won't have to deal with.

First off; as I have stated in earlier posts it seems verses in Revelation indicate that we won't be floating around taking up space during these end time events but interact with prayers and seeing destruction from afar as some scriptures indicates the righteous will do. Now we could be wrong and it could be still quite a while off beyond the lifetimes of many still (seems hard to believe that). But again of course we don't know when our last day on earth is; but it would seem that some may wake up Post Rapture to the truth and know what to do because of our message. That isn't to say that a few won't heed the warning now and come to faith; but it seems most won't heed the message until later. Whether revival comes before then I am doubtful but certainly not averse to it; but there needs to be a lot more prayer; fasting and close fellowship in churches and the truth must be embraced uncompromisingly which is rare today in many of what were formerly reputable establishments; shall we say.

We need to be the salt and light of the world; so that no matter what they say or how they act towards us they can't deny our conviction and sincerity of our motives even if in their minds we are wrong. There is a good way and a bad way to "get under their skin" so to speak. We don't need to bark like a dog but leave the hounds of heaven to keep people awake at night to consider their dire need for a Savior.

Agape.
