When we get to the point where you are nit picking grammer to make your point, or spelling at that point I'm going to start disregarding everything that has come after.
Because it shows that you have completely missed the point: You are not going to be punished for getting it wrong.
I said I AGREE with that. YOU and I are NOT going to "be punished" for getting it wrong.
It's not US I'm concerned about (nor ANY OTHER member of "the Church which is His body"). We will ALL GO IN THE RAPTURE regardless as to whether or not we got the "timing" right.
It's not
[ANY OF] US that I am [expressing] my CONCERN about (if you'd read my entire post, you might have seen that).
So relax, chill and stop hammering on people.
ALL OF US will go in the Rapture (REGARDLESS of our view on its TIMING), as I've pointed out many times, including the following passage in 1Th5 (part of PAUL'S POINT also!) -
[quoting old post]
Notice in the following passage I'm always pointing out... see how
verses 6 and 10 have the SAME GREEK WORDS [same 2 Grk words]
1 Thessalonians 5:6-11 - [said to/for/about "the Church which is His body," ALL those saved "in this present age"] -
6 So then
we should not sleep [G2518 - katheudōmen] as the others, but
we should watch [G1127 - grēgorōmen] and we should be sober.
7 For those sleeping, sleep by night; and those becoming drunk, get drunk by night.
8 But we being of the day should be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet, the hope of salvation,
9 because God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 the One having died for us,
so that whether we might watch [G1127 - grēgorōmen] OR whether we might sleep [G2518 - katheudōmen], we may live together
with [G4862 - syn - 'UNIONED-with'/'IDENTIFIED-with'] Him.
11
Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as also you are doing.
...note that THIS [Grk word for] "sleep" is an
altogether distinct Grk word from the "sleep [G2837 -
koimōmenōn / koimēthentas] of the PREVIOUS CHPT in 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14,15 (speaking of "the
dead in Christ" of v.16, in that chpt).
1Th5:6,10 is
not speaking of being "asleep"
in death, like the previous chpt is.
So this passage is saying that "whether we may watch,
OR whether we may sleep" (same context as what v.6 is speaking about)... which
is distinct from what certain passages are stating in the Olivet Discourse, for example, and other related passages
(like Lk12:36-37,38,40,42-44,45-48 "when he will
RETURN from the wedding"...
THEN the meal [G347] [they must "WATCH"!!
or else!]... which is also
not a "Rapture" passage, etc.)

It's not "US" [ALL THOSE SAVED in this present age] that is my concern, on this Subject. But those who WILL BE EXISTING on the earth IN the trib years (our words TODAY can have an eternal negative impact
on them THEN, when IN/DURING/WITHIN the "IN QUICKNESS [NOUN]" time-period [Rev1:1/19:19c/4:1], i.e. the 7-yr trib years, a time of GREAT DECEPTION [2Th2:9a, etc]...)
All I am exhorting us about is to NOT ADD TO THEIR *CONFUSION* (I'm not saying that to have a false understanding of the timing AFFECTS *ANY OF US* as far as going in the rapture, IT DOES NOT--That is NOT who is adversely affected by such!)
But... WHO CARES about
*THEM,* right?!?!
[I *do* say that "what we SAY NOW will have consequences [for us]... not "damnation," no... but impacting "reward" at least... because of
how it affects OTHERS, see... ]
