LOL Contradictions? something that is disagreeing with their opinion of scripture. Prophecy you and I can be wrong and that has nothing to do with an error in the word of God. You can dig as deep as your human mind with let you go, but Prophecy is Confirmed when it happens so you really don't know that is why all Pre-trib. post-trib have biblical points Human understanding is limited.

I as Said before the doctrine of imminence is far more correct than your deep understanding AT any moment the lord can come. YOU and I are not in the knowledge we are to be ready today.
Is there a verse that actually says that the Lord's return is IMMINENT?

Selfish Christians dont want to die for Jesus...they free ticket
FYI if you die today in a car did you not die serving the Lord? or you only are willing to do so on the last day? Arrogant unlearned comment about others you did not even know. You are not promised tomorrow, so stop acting like you are better than others You very well may deny Jesus as many have already done so and it is not for their life on the line it was due to standing for God was unpopular or not PC.

Arrogant to you because you want a free ticket out..wow And by the way, no one said anything about dying right now... this is about going through the tribuation. Christian's will be tortured and killed if we dont take the mark of the Beast...that's what pre tribbers want to avoid. So take your snarky attitude somewhere please

The Bible says differently.

1 Cor 15:23 - But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
First off, this text does not say "Christ THE firstfruit..."

...there is no definite article here in this text.



Secondly, I made posts already about how James 1:18 indicates there is MORE THAN ONE "firstfruit" (and indeed Lev23 shows TWO DISTINCT mentions of "firstfruit")... which I won't elaborate on here, for this post.
(I'm willing to link those posts if you have further questions, or I can try to answer what questions may arise...)

^ [again... there is MORE THAN ONE "harvest" in Scripture and in nature (as well as MORE THAN ONE "firstfruit" - James 1:18, Lev23)... *we*/"the Church WHICH IS HIS BODY" are NOT the "WHEAT" harvest--the "WHEAT" harvest being harvested by means of a "tribulum" (harvesting implement); but the EARLIER "harvest" is harvested by means of "TOSSING INTO THE AIR" and BLOWING away the chaff; my recommendation is to see my previous posts on the TWO mentions of "FIRSTFRUIT" in LEVITICUS 23 ;) ]

Not that I'm aware of. I think they derive this belief based off of passages saying that the Lord returns at an hour you do not expect like a thief in the night.

Study of the scripture actually shows that Jesus returns after all of the false prophets, false Christs, and Beast/False Prophet combo have their fill of deceiving the world.

The Jesus of the Bible does not return until after the great tribulation. Looking for Jesus before or during the GT is a good way to fall into deception. Let me remind you: there are millions of pre-tribbers looking for Jesus before the GT.

If you had not bragged about your miltary service and near death experience. I would be able to take you serious.. but your smirky attitude made you unreliable in character

No.

The verses you are alluding to (or attempting to--but which you've conflated somewhat) are speaking of His Second Coming TO THE EARTH; the "imminence / imminent" term (as pre-trib scholars are using it) DOES NOT pertain to THAT point in time (to His RETURN to the earth Rev19). NO.

well, I am not caring if you do. The idea one is looking for a free ticket to miss God's Judgment on the Earth as being a bad thing?

You speak as if you are going to be here for it? Do YOu know if you will be here during the tribulation? Or are you just wanting one to accept your biblical understanding? If you could read you would have seen where I said there is biblical support for both teachings yet, you do not know as I said I do not know fully why? because it is prophecy And Jesus said The father only knows. You have a bias Ok , and?

I had Matthew 24:42-44 in mind and I think it fits what I was saying just fine.

42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

I did not brag I was providing context after I was insulted that I was trying to Get a free Ticket out of death. I don't brag about my service there are far greater men and women than I. If you don't like my Pithy attitude after you and some others have talked down and lambasted those who have a Pretrib Rapture acceptance in what they see in scripture that you do not agree with then cry foul? LOL hahaha

Please use scripture correctly. Nobody knows the hour of his return. Not even the son. And then Jesus goes on to tell us when it will be near. He made clear it would be after the tribuation..not before...Who was Jesus talking to in Matthew 24? Second chance Christian's?
