Your method is finding one verse to cancel out the other.
What do you do with a multifaceted Jesus?
Is he a lion. Or a lamb?
Which one cancels the other?
Does "lion" survive your process or "lamb".
It isn't MY method.
He sent HIS ANGEL = didn't leave right hand of God = obeying command given
YOUR METHOD
He came HIMSELF = DID leave right hand of God = disobeying command
MY rendering = is for TRUTH of what is written
YOUR rendering =
is for A DOCTRINE OF MAN (a doctrine that is proven to be FALSE at every turn because it goes
against what is written by changing 'what is written' to HATH GOD SAID? and/or when God didn't say (BECAUSE IT ISN'T WRITTEN) adding your own words and conclusions and putting those forth.
WHAT IS WRITTEN
2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto Him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means:
FOR THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
WHAT DAY SHALL NOT COME? THE DAY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST GATHERS US TO HIM
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
WHEN IS THAT WICKED REVEALED? WHEN CHRIST RETURNS, AT THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS COMING
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
WHEN DOES CHRIST RETURN AND WHEN ARE WE GATHERED TO HIM? AFTER THE WORKING OF SATAN
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
EVERYTHING THAT DOES NOT FOLLOW THIS,
IS A LIE. No matter HOW many verses ANYONE tries to find to bolster it with this that and the other thing to try and make it legit, EVEN those BACKUPS ARE LIES.
KEPT from the hour DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH 'PRE TRIB RAPTURE'.
DELIVERED from DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH 'PRE TRIB RAPTURE'
WHAT IS WRITTEN IS WHERE TRUTH IS FOUND. TRUTH WOULD NEVER REQUIRE JESUS TO DISOBEY GODS COMMAND.
PRE TRI DEMANDS THAT CHRIST DISOBEY GODS COMMAND HENCE THE SEARCHING HIGH AND LOW TO GET CHRIST TO THE EARTH BEFORE SATAN. BUT IT CAN ONLY BE DONE WITH LIES, AS THIS TRUTH CAN NOT BE CHANGED.
SOME WOULD EVEN GO SO FAR AS
TO CHANGE (HATH GOD SAID? AND GOD DIDN'T SAY) THE MEANING OF 'THE FALLING AWAY' TO
NOT ONLY A 'GATHERING' BUT ALSO a trip to heaven pre trib. WE CALL THAT APOSTASY, AND NOW, LIKEWISE, SO DO THEY LIKEWISE.
HE is the Lion and He is the Lamb and
THE ONE DOES NOT NEGATE THE OTHER, WHERE AS PRE TRIB DOES.
THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
