What position do you hold

[e lansing]

Basicly the outline Jesus provided in Matthew 24. I think that the rapture would be such a big event i wonder why Jesus did not even hint about it in that passage. And the fact that others were not able to escape death for there faith in Jesus back then and even today. Some believe that the rapture could happen any time, i am not so sure, i do believe that a rapture will happen at some point, therefore i am open to all positions because regardless of when i will remain faithful to the end! my concern is that some Christians are not open to all three positions and could set themselves up for a big let down and turn from christ out of fear, anger, and lack of faith. It you are a believer you will go with Him regardless of when.

asking respectfully, but do you accept the concept of the "marriage between Christ and the Church?"

yes

ok, you said in refference to bride maids, that this has nothing to do with rapture and then you said that Rev has nothing to do with us. I thought you meant christians when you said us so i ask about Rev 7:14,14.

First of all, it's the parable of the 10 virgins - they didn't have bridesmaids back then.

Second, I didn't say "Rev. has nothing to do with us." I said it is not about us. Do you understand the difference?

no, why dont you school me

no, why dont you school me

"About" means the center focus.

"The Day of the Lord" is about the Lord - else it would be called the "Day of Judgment" or the "Day of the Anti-Christ" or the "Day of the Rapture" or the "Day of the Church".

Do you understand this?
