I really don't care. If I didn't know you any better, I'd get the impression that you feel as though Tim is spreading obsurd dogmatic heresy that the Rapture has already occurred or something. This conversation has become something of idiocy. I'll see you on the next thread. Take care debbiejo, and you too Storm. Latah.
The reason I have problem with the pre trib rapture, is if you are really a believer, and not quite living what you know you should be, then it gives you another chance to be saved at the end of the Tribulation....And that would be a lie. The pre trib view gives another chance...But scripture doesn't hold true to this view at all...It's just been since the late 1800's that this view came into being starting as I said with Darby and Scholfield...
That verse in Thess, is combinded with Daniel all taken out of context and history and then Revelations is added, which could have many meanings...
For instance The king on the white horse.
1. One theory is that this is the antichrist because he holds a sword....Coming on a "White" horse meaning it's a false peace a false god.
2. This theory says is Jesus coming on a "White" horse..coming in the name of vengence.
The fact that the book of Rev. had been taken out of the cannon at least 3 or 4 times....gee, what if it was never included again, what would that do to the view of the end times..
