That isn't the case, LadyC. I've had pretribbers tell me all sorts of horrid things before, just for taking a post trib position. Be sure that the sin nature affects people in BOTH camps. I don't think its an obligation to point out the others are wrong, just a willingness to share their position, in a topic that naturally requires refutation of the alternatives. As for me, I deliver mail (I'm a postie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen, L.C. I totally agree. This timing of the Rapture debate is of man, not God. Only He knows for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get a hearty amen from me LadyC. I don't waste my time debating the issue...the only time i will seek to correct is when the heresy of the trib having started shortly after Jesus ascended. Otherwise, it is not a biggie to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen. /rant mode on I've seen "proofs" of pre, mid, and post rapture. I'm not impressed. Frankly I'm sick and tired of all the arguing over when the rapture is going to happen. It's not a salvation issue, and I'm also tired of all sides trying to prove the other wrong. What ever happened to sharing the gospel with others? /rant mode off Edited April 17, 2011 by walla299 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are told to study the Word, that includes prophecy. There is nothing wrong with studying the rapture or the trib, investigating both sides etc. The whole thing is of God, not of man. It becomes of man when winning the debate is placed ahead of learning His Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bible doesn't even mention it, only the Second Coming.....Revelation tells us what will happen, there aren't two sides to investigate.

You're a nice group. And I am glad that I joined this board. A lot of people get furious over this subject. And you're absolutely right about Rapture Ready. They not only want to control your trib position but lots of other things. In one day I got busted for 3 minor things. Rapture Ready is strict. Even if one is a pre trib believer I don't suggest this site. It is the most controlling forum I have seen. I'll second that about RR; I used to belong to that site but, after a heated exchange with one of the mods, I was given demerits. I told them, in a Christian way, what they could do with them. They are a 'niche' site and are not doing well from what I've read. There's more than one type of Christian and we all deserve the respect of our brethren. Welcome to Worthy!
