Hi Pre-trib,some of these folks have preterists leanings so they will reject much of what is considered yet to occur by christian fundamentalists. I am christian fundamentalist but I believe the bible contains a post-trib rapture of the church,the clincher is 2Thess 2:2.

Great post.:yes

Good post.

I probably agree with many of your ideas,however you have overlooked a tiny little fact...there is no pre-trib rapture in the bible,there really isn't. Pre-trib is an extra biblical concept developed by a man(Darby) and assumed to be biblical,if you read ONLY the BIBLE you will not find a...

James begins his discourse with,IF a man SAY he has faith, this proves that James was questioning the mans supposed faith because of his lack of faithful actions,simple.

First,Abraham was BEFORE THE LAW ,so Abraham could not have been justified by the LAW anyway, the WORKS that Paul said that Abraham was not justified by, were the GOOD DEEDS that he did,not the law, for the law had not yet been given. Think please, if the works of the law(something given by...

Friend,there is a great tribulation that is described by Jesus in Matt24&Mark13,you can read how Jesus describes that time,it is a time of great persecution against the church and national Israel,the great tribulation Jesus described is a great persecution,of course God would not be persecuting...

There are two comings of the lord from heaven,the first decending of Christ from heaven is to gather the believers(rapture),the second descending of Christ from heaven is with the believers that He already gathered to defeat the antichrist. The pre-trib concept is screwed up because it is...

I accepted that there was a pre-trib rapture like all christians because everyone believed in it,however as time went on I found that no one really knew WHY. The christians who really tried to use the bible to explain the pre-trib rapture would always end up making themselves look foolish,I...

One cannot use scripture on preterists because they void out scripture by saying it was only for the jews of that time, so they have created the perfect religion(it does what WE tell it to)and it is a pleasant ride all the way into hades.

Hi Former Christian: I have been in the christian walk for a very long time and in this forum for some time, probably one third of those in here who call themselves christian,are not. My advise,forget all religion,one on one with God,ask God to save you,confess that Jesus is your personal...

The first 4 years I was saved 14 to 18 I did not know the bible and hardly attended church ,yet the Holy Spirit kept me away from alcohol like you would keep gasoline away from a match. I went to the state finals in wrestling three years and every year everyone drink alcohol(and got bombed)but...

Donkeys I can live with,however one only needs to look at all the needless deaths on our highways,abused children,adultery,that occured because of alcohol to know that this is one thing a christian needs to avoid.

I believe adults in the NT(and old)drink a low alcoholic wine because it was the only drink that could be preserved,today we have a multitude of drinks through refrigeration and canning methods,so why chose to drink something that has the potential of self destruction? Why pick up a rattle snake...

I don't know why but I have often thought of this place in scripture, it is very dramatic,"there was no man and all the birds of the heaven were fled". I always took this to mean the coming judgment of God against an evil world.

James can be a book that can cause some to stumble if they are not careful. First, at a glance James seems to be contradicting Paul,Paul made it plain that we are justified and kept justified by faith in Christ sacrifice alone and that confidence(faith) in any work could actually cause us to...

So let me get this straight,YOUR definition of correct interpretation takes precedence over known historic evidence? In other words,reality has to yield to your personal desires? The reason that most all bible scholars believe that John wrote Rev after 90ad is BECAUSE OF THE HISTORIC EVIDENCE...

OP is an interesting topic and something that we cannot really know but can speculate about,there may have been another creation before this one,however I really do not see much in the bible to support it. First, the word EARTH is defined by Gen 1:10 as being DRY LAND,not the planet. When we...

I think you got it correct,actually turning from faith in Christ and His sacrifice to something else IS something that can cause us to lose our salvation,also it is obvious that all of us do things(daily)and are convicted by the Spirit and repent,the devil did not MAKE us do something,so we...

Well, believing from the heart that the sacrifice of Christ has made you acceptable to God is saving faith, and continuing to believe that Christ sacrifice is making you acceptable to God is faithfulness(works). We simply cannot DO things that make us acceptable to God. I see James as simply...
