Everyone should want God as their loving Father.. Not their Master.. A Slave / Master relation is not the one saved people have with God.. You should want Jesus to be your Lord and Redeemer. and to be an adopted child of God..
I agree...This is true

You be a prime candidate for being left behind when Jesus gathers His faithful so they don't have to experience the worst evil ever to be unleashed upon mankind. Enjoy :rolleyes:
Now, THIS ^^^^ is why I don't "do" eschatology....

Ask 5 people about end times, and you'll get 8 different "positive, Spirit-led-me-to-this-knowledge" answers.

And I'm pretty certain that understanding end times exactly right is NOT a prerequisite for "being raptured".... you have to be a believer and follower of Jesus to be "caught up" and skip the tribulation.... or so I've gathered from the discussions of others.

Silliness...

It's not a salvation criteria. Totally agree, I had the exact same discussion with a a preterist which we came to the exact same conclusion, shook hands and were good to go.

I don't even know what a Preterist is... is that a pre-tribber?

I've stated it before.... it just doesn't matter to me at all. It's not even on my radar. If anything, I'm a non-rapture kind of guy.

For those that are interested, I'm sure it's interesting to study, but it should make no difference in the way you live your life...

I see people ready to come to blows over what the 12 candlesticks or the 7 seals or the 14 headed beastie are... I mean, come on... NONE of that is a salvation issue.

It always strikes me that those that are saying "alert!! alert!! They are going to rebuild the temple!! " are really saying... "hey, you better straighten up, and get your act together... the end could come next month!" ...... when they really should be saying, "hey, lets all live EVERY DAY like the end is coming TONIGHT".... because that's the way Jesus wanted us to live.... and, for each individual one of us, the end COULD come tonight....

MY priority is to try to live every day, doing my best to become more Christ like... when he comes, he comes.... I plan to be as ready as I can be.... every day.

That would almost suggest Russia is done with Assad as well considering the chummy relations with Turkey of late.
