CHRISTMAS! COULD THIS BE THE LAST CHRISTMAS BEFORE THE RAPTURE AND JESUS'S RETURN

You are combining two unrelated passages as I have pointed out to you before. These events are 1,000 years apart.

1 Thes 4 describes the Day of the Lord, not some fabricated Pre-Trib Rapture. Context, context, context!! Why do you (and others) insist on cherry picking this passage and not take the whole lesson in context??? Read on...

1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

3 For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.

The passage continues and Paul tells us to "watch and be sober." It would be kinda hard to watch for the Day of the Lord if we have already been raptured off to heaven. I guess we could watch from up there but the warning would lose it's importance, don't ya think???

I am guessing it wasn't....

I doubt the rapture would take place near Christmas, not saying it couldn't but Christmas isn't even his actual b day so if he were to take us near his b day it would be during the summer which I believe was the season of his actual birth

If it was I hope God would have the Holy Spirit just gather in as many people as possible this Christmas

Funny story, last year I told Jesus all I wanted for my birth day and Christmas( since they are both only five days apart) was for him to take me home so I could be with him forever.

what you don't like dinosaurs? resurrecting old threads which I call dinosaur threads is sort of a thing in cc not really sure why but it is how it is

Threads like these are resurrected all the time. It'd be better if they were simply deleted after a period of inactivity spanning more than a month or so for the sake of getting rid of confusion and clutter.

That would decrease the google rating by a huge amount.

Still, a little over two weeks to go.;ya never know

Also, some old, inactive threads are more interesting than current ones. I don't think deleting them is the answer but locking them sounds good.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Until armies start gathering outside Jerusalem I won't be looking up... Better chance of seeing Santa Claus than Jesus prior to that happening.
