Just Wondering?

[Guest LCPGUY]

So? Thing is i read your apology the last time i came in and now i come in again and low and behold your original insulting post it still there in the tread totally unchanged?????

You see people who are sorry apologize and then go back and try to make amends by editing their offensive post so that the next reader who decides to read this thread will not reach the same post and be offended. But there is your post still there like a well laid out mine field waiting for the next poor unfortunate to wander in to.

Your actions (inaction in this case) speak louder than your words

Adstar, thanx much for pointing that out

So let it be written, so let it be done...

Ih His Love,

John

I will start a festival thread tomorrow in the "Understanding Hebrew roots" forum.

I am much too busy, or I would do it today.

Now we're gettin somewhere!!! Thank you very much!

I just want to let you know, I'm going to be out of pocket today, as it is our Bible Study Day at the elementary school, so I won't be able to contribute to this until either this evening or tomorrow, but I am really loving what is being discussed!

In His Love,

Suzanne

I look forward to it!

Hi Shilo,

I look forward to your thread as well, sounds very interesting.

Just curious, why is it that we speak of the rapture, only in terms of the NT? Have you ever considered what the prophets say about the 2nd Coming of Christ? I would challenge you to begin looking at the 2nd coming thru the prophets, they haven't missed a beat yet!  And, if they had been trusted about the 1st coming, many wouldn't have missed it.

I'm new to this board. But, after reading over this thread, I can see how one might misunderstand and take what the original poster had to say out of context. Referencing the first question in the original post, "why is it that we speak of the rapture, only in terms of the NT"- that question in and of itself would lead me to believe that it was ok to discuss the rapture whether one believes in it or not. The original post seems to imply theat the original poster believes in the rapture. That would be my understanding...

No need to debate on the timing of the "rapture" anyway. All you have to do is read what Paul said in 2 Thess.2,and what Jesus Christ himself said in Matt.24 verse 29,and as a matter of fact,the first resurrection which happens at the "rapture" is mentioned in Rev. chapter 20 verses 5 and 6. Just read what Jesus,Paul and John said,and you will know that the rapture is not 7 years before the second coming. We know that this so called "rapture" or "gathering" is AT the second coming but we won't know the day or hour, plain and simple, it's not complicated.

The topic is in study of the End Times which would include the term "rapture". The contention comes in when the discussion turns to the "timing" of the rapture. That is what we are trying to avoid. No timing debates. We are just wanting to talk about the OT and what it says about the "rapture"

or last days.

Thanks Suzanne. May I ask, do you feel that discussing the timing of the rapture is

in contention because timing doesn't apply to it? Why is it that you are trying to avoid discussions of the timing of the rapture?Is it because it doesn't apply to this thread or is it because you avoid that discussion altogether and if so, why?

I'm just trying to understand this. Thanks for your response.

senerhu - I'm not Suzanne but I think I know why. Maybe because this issue is already being discussed here http://www.worthyboards.com/forums/index.p...75entry120194

Hi Guys,

There are plenty of threads that are already discussing these topics, such as pre, mid, and post trib rapture timing.

This is a thread that is looking at the old testament and the references to the rapture and the end time referances to events such as the Lords day. If you look at some of the old testament scripture referances you will see that there is actually timing as well, but lets keep it to old testament scripture.

This could actually be a very good and edifying study, if we would give it a chance to get off the ground and would be a great discussion if we could just keep it in referance to the old testament prophecies, with limited referance to the new testament except to show where these old testament prophecies are revealed in the new testament as well.

I think we could learn and be very blessed if we give it a chance, and we could learn some things that we dont already think we know.

What do you say, lets give this thread a chance, I for one am very interested, but it doesnt seem anyone else, or at best very few, are interested in what God had to say through old testament prophets.

Lets just give it a chance. I believe God will richly bless us in this study.

God bless
