I don't buy this......The Lord inspired every word written and they are all profitable and to say it is a waste of time is contrary and to be honest not very biblical......The word is meant to be understood and without a doubt no one has all of the answers, but truth can be gleaned from an intensive study of everything that is found written in the word....
Read on....
Romans 9:6-9[SUP]6 [/SUP]Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
The Promise of the Father is the seal of the Holy Spirit....nothing to do with flesh and blood, but rather the children of faith are counted for the seed.
Galatians 3:7
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

That is because there is no some super, secret rapture (so called).....another fallacy associated with the 2nd coming...the bible teaches that the following will see him come with the clouds, power and great glory...
1. The saved disciples
2. The lost religious
3. Every kindred, tongue, nation and tribe
4. Every EYE
His coming is compared to lightning that cracks in the East and shines unto the West which everyone can see and the dead carcass of an animal and it's evidence based upon the birds (buzzards) that flock around it.....This is the coming of our God, he is not going to slink in like some snake to get his children....he will come with power, great glory and it will be VISIBLE to the entire planet!

Does the Bible say that when we meet Him in the clouds that He will take us to heaven right off, or does it say we will come to earth with Him to reign in His kingdom? I think the latter. Also, by clearly defining this might (might, just might) put a lot of confusion and controversy to rest. Thanks in advance.
I believe it is clear....we meet the Lord in the air, are rewarded while he judges the planet with his wrath and we return to the earth with Christ to set up his millennial kingdom......the only people who I believe go to heaven are the dead in Christ who he brings with him when he returns......those alive will be changed and meet in the air with the resurrected dead to be rewarded....at the end of the millennial reign he will create a new heaven and earth wherein dwelleth righteousness and New Jerusalem will come down out of heaven to the new earth and God will forever be with his people in our midst.
Rev.20 4 are the saints of the First Resurrection and it says they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
If we compare (v.5) to (v.4) it says those people don't live again until the thousand years are finished.
But the rest of the dead (wicked people) lived not again until the thousand years were finished. Rev.20 5a
And the people in (v.5) will be raised to life judged and will die again and suffer the second death.

That's what I thought. "This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." 2 Corinthians 13:1

Yes. The Bible is truth. The rest of this stuff is modernism. It's not Biblical. Wasn't even around when America was born. This isn't the word. This is a little here and a little thereism.
Let's see, we have pre and post tributers, pre-, a-, and post-millennialists, add a little dispensationalism into the mix, (which I've just been told isn't always agreeing with one another either), and, oh, yeah, let's not forget the preterists. How many variations is that, particularly when you can take a little from Column A, some from Column B, and let's not forget Row E?
Everyone is absolutely sure they're right and everyone else is wrong. AND, this is how they spend their time. Let's argue this stuff, instead of focusing on God.
The word? I don't think so. This is a preoccupation to avoid the word in all its/his glory. (Notice about 20 verse used, each one to prove someone else is wrong.) That's why it just keeps on going. Nothing better than have people thinking they're following God, when, in reality, everyone is proving a pet theory.
That's why there's never agreement. This isn't supposed to be agreed on any more than eating that fruit from that tree was a good idea.
