Peter, James, John and Andrew approached Jesus at one point (2 days before He went to the cross) and asked Him what to look for in the end times. Jesus told them (in Matthew 24,25 / Mark 13 / Luke 21) they needed to live with an expectation of encountering the Abomination of Desolation, followed by a time of "great tribulation" and ended by a supernatural transporting of the believers into His presence...and since they obviously believed Jesus and took Him at His word...
...therefore, ANYONE who believes ANYTHING OTHER THAN what those disciples believed when they went out from this meeting with Jesus...IS BELIEVING THE WRONG THING...no matter WHAT it is.
===========================================================
There you go. 20 seconds. Bada-bing bada-boom. Done.
No matter WHAT others here (or anywhere) may argue...if it contradicts the beliefs of Peter, James, John or Andrew...
...it is therefore FALSE DOCTRINE. A false belief.
The haranguing that goes on. Wow. All these ultra-complicated maze-like massive uber-confusing jungles of explanations: The bowls, the bells, the trumps, the whistles, the buzzers, the saucers...the concocted claims about 144,000 virgin "missionaries"...on and on and on.
You CANNOT contradict the Bible. You cannot contradict the beliefs of Peter, James, John or Andrew.
And by the way, once you understand and accept the "Rosetta Stone" role of the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24,25 / Mark 13 / Luke 21)...the Book of Revelation opens up like a can of peaches. The topic of another thread...if I survive this thread.
