I have been depressed ever since I thought that the Pre-Trib Rapture is probably untrue; and on top of that there is a brotherly thing that is troubling me.

I am sad.

This makes me sad. I must pray now.

Dear Father

Please be with our brother passing through at this time. Help him to lean on You and grant him knowledge of Your truth found in Your word the Bible. Help him with this brotherly problem that he is speaking about. Help another brother to step up and see if they can assist in this matter.

We know that You love us God and that You want the best for us. Please help remove the sadness that has come into his life. Help him to fix his eyes on Jesus and the love that is for him knowing that You will care for him.

I don't know what all the issues are Father but You do please come and comfort his heart and bring him peace and understanding in You and Your word. In Jesus Name Amen

You are certainly welcome and always remember God loves you with an everlasting love.

John 14:
27"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful

My brother wrote our cousin that I'm still in my weirdness, just because I try to talk (Email) to him about his Catholicism.

I did get weird before I got the medicine I needed for my chemical imbalance.

I have nothing in this life, but Jesus. I used to read three chapter workday mornings, but that is another story.

Thanks

Just share your love and joy with your brother and plant seeds. It is the Holy Spirit's job to convince and convict of sin and any changes that would need to be made in your brothers life. So just love him and let him see the joy you have in Jesus. Of course always pray for him to get an understanding of truth.

Thank you!

I know better than to address the religion; Paul said, "I have learned to know nothing among you, but Jesus Christ and him crucified" , but I did it anyway.

Praying for you to come out of this depression. And good for you for getting on the right medication and acknowledging the chemical imbalance.

And I would not worry for a minute about eschatology! (End times) We have Jesus, and whatever happens, he will never leave or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5) Your salvation does not rest on what happens at the end, but rather on God, who has saved you.

And if you are worried about a post-trib rapture, don't be. The Bible doesn't talk about a "rapture." Rather it talks about the Second Coming of Christ, and we will meet him and then return to earth with him. There is no secret snatching away of believers - making for 3 comings of Christ. As far as tribulation, I believe this happened in 70 AD when the Romans razed Jerusalem, and dispersed the Jews, along with the Christians.

Besides, we all suffer trials and tribulations in this life. Just be glad you are not a Christian in North Korea, China or under the Islamic State. They are torturing and killing Christians. So please pray for them.

I will be praying for you to find friends and fellowship, and to read the Bible and see God's truth revealed!
