Or conversely, if your a post triber, what you would think if you could be told that pre-trib is right? Would it shake your faith if the antichrist was knocking on your door to take you away and you were still here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'aint rocket science, and God never contradicts himself, so there are no scriptures that can correctly be used to argue against the two mentioned above. The Lord God most high laid down his life for us, we may expect Him to ask the same of us for the glory of His name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it would be more like: What if you are a post-tribber, and you find yourself raptured before the Tribulation begins? And that answer would be - Oh, so I was wrong!

There are a few versus alluding to it, and we try to make doctrines out of that. So the fact that ANY side could be wrong is always possible. Its not God being wrong but us. It wouldnt be the first time people expected something different from the bible - see Jews and Messiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is I have met and love a load of christians from all points of veiw on this and I will be asking some questions of the Lord about certain bits of Bible if I am wrong! someone is going to be right- namely GOD!

Guest Kilad Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 pre or post doesnt matter to me in the grand scheme of things. Neither changes the fact that Christ died and rose again on the 3rd day so that I man be redeemed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it shake your faith if the antichrist was knocking on your door to take you away and you were still here? I would go, "Oh, okay." Honestly, I hope I'm wrong. I'm post-trib, but hey, if I'm wrong I won't be complaining. My hope is in what Christ did on the cross, and I live for that moment. I also strive to live in the ressurection (though I"ll never obtain it in this life). How I get to that point, wether through death or rapture, I could care less.
