Hmmmm, cue hyper creative,mode.

Question for postrib

If the church fathers are infallible and they trump Gods word, do you guys also adhere to infant baptism,transubstantiation,and purgatory beliefs also?

If not,then are you heretics?

Remember,you guys have them as infallible.

You guys can barely make a sentence W/O that very concept.

I have tried to figure out why Jesus missed it so bad when he compared his army to a thief.

They have a junky doctrine. Very poor.

They are anti pretrib 1stly,tribulation centered 2ndly,and THEREFORE...they then "take their stand"

IOW,They actually BEGIN,by taking stuff off the table.

BIZARRE!!!

Question for postribs,
If thief in your world translates "secret" then how would rev 19 be either one?

Do you have an example that exists someplace proving a normal person would see an invading army descending from the sky on horses with a general leading them with lightning proceeding from his mouth and his enemies being slaughtered....then someone says "that God on that lead horse reminds me of a thief".

Do you guys not see the quandary of your poorly thought out doctrine?
If you had actually understood what our Lord Jesus and His Apostles meant when they said "the day of the Lord" will come "as a thief", then you wouldn't be asking such ignorant questions.

ABSOLUTELY WRONG!! SORRY. The GREAT CITY, BABYLON is all about ISLAM and worship of a False God. Israel recognizes the correct God although most do not recognize His Son as of yet, but they will. If you look at all the clues given here's why it cannot be Jerusalem/Judaism:

1.Among smallest Religion <.5%

2.Not part of a 7 kingdom succession
3.Few peoples/nations worship her
4.Not Similar to former Babylon
5.Not Located in a Wilderness/Desert
6.John did not recognize her
7.No Kings of Earth Fornicate with her
8.Doesn’t Behead People
9.Not Near a busy seaport
10.Few get rich from selling her “goods”
11.Merchants would rejoice at demise
12.Can’t be destroyed as Christ returns
to Jerusalem and reigns from there
1. Irrelevant to Revelation
2. 7th beast king will take Jerusalem, using peace (Daniel)
3. All world (except Christ's elect) will worship the beast king, Rev.13.
4. Is spiritually Sodom and Egypt, and thus symbolic spiritually of Babylon, its center in Jerusalem, Rev.11:8
5. Fleeing to the wilderness is an expression for something else
6. Because main event was for end, not John's days
7. All the kings (ten kings) will be in bed with her, concurrently; Rev.17.
8. Main controller of the beheadings of Christians in that future time.
9. Symbolic of mercantile traffic, world commerce, will control with 'mark' for buying and selling.
10. Merchants of earth waxed rich because of her, Rev.18.
11. Kings who lived deliciously with her, bewail her destruction, her merchants weep, Rev.18.
12. 'not one stone standing on top of another' in that area when Jesus returns; Matt.24; Mark 13. New Jerusalem comes down out of Heaven from God.

Question for postribs

Why is it that your teachers,in 2000 years,have never,one time ,initiated a teaching on the bride /groom dimension?

The biggest event about to happen and your camp is clueless?

That is not a red flag?
Rev.21 reveals New Jerusalem is Christ's Bride, and Wife.

Question for post trib

How does the bride become the wife in rev 19,receive white robes,mount horses,return to earth,.....and gather what? Clones?

Iow,how are they in heaven,mounting horses when you guys say they can't mount them till they are visible in earths atmosphere?

Another quandary?
Per 1 Thess.4, Jesus brings the "asleep" saints with Him when He comes.

Clearly wrong.

It even says wife. The wife is on horses IN HEAVEN.
The New Jerusalem, the "beloved city" where the "camp of the saints" will be, shown on earth per Rev.20:9.

Flawed pat answer.

You guys now have a thief destroying a thousand square miles of humanoids,taking nothing,
And Jesus saying "see,that is what all thiefs do"

And the survivors describing the slaughter as a thief in the night

Not even remotely plausible.


Oh wow could he have actually been referring to the Taking of his bride pretrib?

You; "no,I'll figure something else out"...."there's gotta be a way to make an invading army that takes nothing appear to be a thief"

BTW,Your analogy that a thief always alerts those Asleep,makes Jesus look stupid.

Play it out. Just one time...play it out.
The first one TAKEN in the field which the false Pre-trib Rapture doctors teach, will be to Christ? NO!!! Per Luke 17 and Matt.24:28, the first one TAKEN is taken to where the vultures will be (Satan's host). There's your pre-trib rapture.

Not all believers are beheaded or killed, 1 Thess.4 and 2 Thess.2 shows Church will be gathered by Jesus when He comes to destroy the Antichrist, and not before that false one's reign.

Which is why my Lord Jesus did not give it to you to understand, since you mock that warning He gave His saints who wait for Him.

The Catholic Church, and thus its later papal doctrines, did not exist yet in the days of the 1st/2nd century Church fathers, which again shows your ignorance of Church history. The office of a pope (or "bishop of bishops") didn't begin until later.

He didn't compare His army to a 'thief', which again shows how He didn't give you to understand His warning that He comes "as a thief", since your Pre-trib Rapture doctors tell you that you don't have to watch, going against His command to watch.

Jesus didn't use the flood of Noah's day as an event upon His, it was the wicked who were TAKEN in the flood. Noah and his family stayed protected in the ark UPON the earth. Jesus is our Ark of Protection for the tribulation, and our Passover sacrificed for us.
