I don't believe in an imminent rapture, no. And I agree that people tend to read into things that aren't really there. But when I talk about "signs" I'm not talking about "wars and rumours of wars" because those have always been there. I'm not talking about the Arab spring because I have...

Of course we can't be sure about when the end will come until it comes. The best we can do is watch for signs and know that it is "near". But just because you've "heard that before" doesn't mean it's not true. The end is only going to come once, so if a million people are wrong a million...

The end of "the millennium".

Within our lifetimes.

I've always taken "sleep" to mean death, but the reason they use the word sleep instead of death is because it is a temporary state. So when Paul says we will not all sleep, he is simply saying we will not all die. Matthew 9:24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.†But...

Yes. I have run into the same kind of resistance. I don't understand it because it clearly says the resurrection will include both righteous and wicked. In other words everybody will be resurrected. Not only the Christians. Furthermore, Daniel 12 says this resurrection will happen at the...

A "kingdom" is really just a king with "subjects" (for lack of a better word). We don't have to try to define a kingdom as being spiritual or physical. He is our king, and that alone defines His kingdom. Of course eventually this kingdom will have a home, and God's throne will be among his...

Aren't you guys both saying the same thing? I'm not sure where the disagreement is.

So when do you see the seventh trump being blown?

o.k. So that being the case, I'm obviously a little bit confused about what you are trying to say in your previous lengthy post. Can you sum up your position for me in 4 sentences or less?

Noble, correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like you're saying that those who died before Jesus died, were raised with him and taken to heaven with him at that time. Is that what you're saying?

smaller, are you saying that every word of God is directed at every single one of us? Are you saying that anytime God speaks he is speaking to you and I directly?

er... no, only when God is speaking to Israel. Please clarify your accusation. Which words of God do you think I am ignoring?

Physical death will not always be with us. The scriptures are very clear that death is thrown into the lake of fire after the millennium and Paul said that the mortal would be clothed with immortality, meaning we will no longer have death. 1 Corinthians 15:54 "When the perishable has been...

Yes, we should continue to live our lives and live them in accordance with the teachings of Jesus, but on the other hand, I think realizing that we are close to the end puts a sense of urgency on the learning that we should be doing to prepare for what lies ahead. I think too many Christians...
