Seems you are really really desperate to try to find anything that you can squint hard enough and see "rapture".

Sure.
When i force you to refute the bible.....we see you go personal.

That bible needs many changes to support that doctrine you are so desperate to promote.

Please try harder to obscure those types of lot and noah.

BOTH GATHERED PRETRIB.
AS WAS THE BABY JESUS.

Make that into something else.

All I can say is that you have a very active imagination.

A for effort but F- for truth.
Show us where noah was NOT gathered prejudgement
And where he did not return post judgement.
Show me where he did not rise up into the clouds.

That is where you need to refute the bible.

Directly address what the bible says....not what you need it to say.
You change the bible, then blame it on man.

Sure.
Rename it what it really is if you cant process " rapture"
Insert " gathering of the bride" or "Gathering of elect" or " gathering of His Church"

Then reject and refuse Jesus illustration of a gathering of his people.

You have a very hard job refuting Gods Holy Word.
I would not continue to do so if I were you.
Very bad what you are compelled to do... All for a very poorly thought out doctrine.

Please quote a verse that says what you claim.

It is clear that you aren't reading ANY translation.
Thanks for admitting that.

Lot is a pretrib rapture model.
No, you only think so. What verse indicates that Lot is a "type" of anything? I'll wait.

Jesus declared them as types.
Re read it.
No. YOU quote the verse you "claim" says they are types.

Wow. A rather inflated view of onself, I see. You haven't forced me to do anything. Only in your fantasies.

.....we see you go personal.
Huh? So when is noting how desperate another is "going personal"? It's just a fact.

That bible needs many changes to support that doctrine you are so desperate to promote.
In your fantasies. You've been given all the very clear and unambiguous verses that plainly SAY what I believe. That's why I am so convinced.

It's your side that has no clear and unambiguous verses that SAY what you claim.

So you have to drag out parables and FORCE your "types" into verses.

BOTH GATHERED PRETRIB.
AS WAS THE BABY JESUS.

Make that into something else.
How about just quoting verses rather than capitalizing what you "think" they say.

Noah built a boat and ENTERED into it. Prove that is a gathering.

You're just seeing things that aren't there. Show me a verse that says Noah was gathered into the ark.

And where he did not return post judgement.
Actually, he came right back to where he started.

Show me where he did not rise up into the clouds.
Prove that he did. lol

That is where you need to refute the bible.
I don't need to refute the Bible. I only need, and have, refuted your opinions.

Directly address what the bible says
Why don't you? I DO that all the time.

You change the bible, then blame it on man.
Show me the changes, or you are a liar.

Bingo
A winner.

Now admit he was in the heavens over a mile into the clouds.

Ahem...in the ARK ( a type of heaven) in which HE LEFT EARTH FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

Psssst...you need him leaving AFTER THE FLOOD.

Never even tried. But why do you reject so much Scripture?
You have never posted any to approve of.

You do not have a single verse pointing to a postrib rapture.

None of you do.

On the other hand you refute all our verses.

You are here to refute.

Look at your silly " gather" rabbit trail.

Pure desperate rejection of a no brainer.

Keep stretching though.

No. YOU quote the verse you "claim" says they are types.
Uh...wow...
You are getting all messed up and ...once again refuting Jesus EXAMPLE of instruction.

AHEM..." Type" vs "anti type"

You really going to park there???
Refuting scripture???

Let me help you once again;
Websters 1828 dictionary
TYPE, noun [Latin typus; Gr. from the root of tap; to beat, strike, impress.]

1. The mark of something; an emblem; that which represents something else.
A sign; a symbol; a figure of something to come; as, Abraham's sacrifice and the paschal lamb, were types of Christ. To this word is opposed antitype. Christ, in this case, is the antitype.

TYPE, verb transitive To prefigure; to represent by a model or symbol beforehand. [Little Used.]

The bible is FILLED with types.
There is barely a page in the book of hebrews without types.i am beginning to see the root of your error.

An interesting question;
Are all postribbers deficient in the study of types?
I am thinking those bible types God inserted are very harmful to that doctrine

Ok lets use your refuting of my examples of Lot and baby Jesus removed prejudgement


Lets agree with your superior assesment that lot was not removed but stayed in sodom where he was protected.
Please show us your verse.

And where The baby Jesus stayed and was protected from the slaughter.
He never left for egypt. He stayed and was protected correct..?

Yes do show us the examples you desperately need to promote you refuting of my no brainers.

Do show us your changes to the bible please.

Me. "Show me where he ( noah) did not rise up into the clouds."

Fg. "Prove that he did. lol"

This is ignorance gone to seed.

Ok lets once again play out your ridiculous objections.

Your deal must go something like this..."Noah even though the surface Of the water covered the highest mountain. Was never atop those waters.
His boat stayed right there on earth.
He never rose into the clouds via the flood waters."


That is where false doctrine leads.
You have made a fool of yourself.

That postrib rapture beast took you guys into the wilderness and died.
Left you afoot and wondering around in what you thought was a playground.

You twist and twist on rabbit trails.
Come out of that confusion! And into solid bible doctrine.!!!

You are so confused i have to look up simple definitions.... and you see types God placed in the Holy Bible as some bogey man.

Whew....what a trap you guys are in.
Sad

Pre-tribbers sure do talk a lot for not actually having any verses that plainly state or describe the pre-trib rapture.

No, they were advised to get out of the way of God's wrath. Tribulation is not God's wrath. Conflating God's wrath with tribulation is a common, and critical, error of the pre-tribber.

True. I take it for what it SAYS. Clear and unambigously.

I have explained the wording so many times, it only demonstrates your unwillingness to open your eyes and ears.

The words in v.7 and 9 clearly show what's about to happen. Preparation, not the actual wedding supper.
I get it: YOU are allowed to explain verses [meaning change what they really say] , but pretribbers are not allowed. Sorry, but I already knew that is how this works.

How can a Greek Aorist verb show something ABOUT to happen? It has no tense or timing included.

Anyone can claim John's use of Aorist verbs are either past tense or future tense. The truth is, they have no tense. All through the book, John writes events on his timeline at the very moment that event happens. When John write, the Day of His wrath is come, it means right then, at the time of the verse compared to the complete narrative.

Just as you are doing, some want to mess with the timing of Wrath and say it is just about to come, but not in chapter 6 - it comes later. Since John uses Aorist verbs almost exclusively, people can make the book say almost anything by twisting it.

Others want to change when the Two Witnesses show up. John's first mention of them is in chapter 11. Many imagine they really showed up at the beginning of the week, rather than just before the midpoint, imagining their testimony is for the first half of the week. But here John used FUTURE TENSE verbs - showing us that they showed up at the verse of first mention and their testimony is then FUTURE from that date.

Of course the marriage and supper have to wait for both the Bride and all the guests, which will be every participant of the first resurrection: the Bride of Christ, and the Old Testament saints, which will include the Two Witnesses and the martyrs of the Beasts. Since the martyrs of the Beast will be resurrected with the OT saints on the last dya of the week, at the 7th vial, the marriage is postponed until AFTER the 7th vial resurrection.

I guess you don't read much, or just don't believe the testimonies of the many who have died, gone to heaven, SAW with their own eyes the preparations for the marriage supper - tables spread as far as the eye can see along the River of life. Each table has chairs and NAMES of the saints who are to sit there. Some of these people have seen this and been told the preparations are all finished - heaven is now just waiting on the saints to arrive. These people got prayed back to their bodies so had to leave heaven.

Since these testimonies AGREE with scripture, I believe them. Here is one such testimony: 7 Columbia youths visited heaven: "We also could see the wedding banquet table, everything was already served. It had no beginning or end. We saw the chairs prepared for us. There was also crowns of eternal life that are ready to be taken by us. We saw delicious foods that are already set, for all of those that will be invited to the Wedding of the Lamb. "

Here is another: Testimony of an 8 year old girl:

We then arrived in a beautiful place where I could see the glory of God, and feel His Power. It was a big beautiful place. I saw many tables, so I asked the Lord, "Lord what are all these tables are for?" He said, "Servant, remember the Wedding of the Lamb, remember that on these tables we will celebrate the Wedding of the Lamb." I saw countless numbers of tables, and I could not see the end of them. There were angels at each table, so I asked the Lord, "Lord, why is there an angel at each table and at each chair?" The Lord said, "My servant, these angels are decorating the tables, these angels are getting ready each table because I am already preparing everything."

Dear brothers, those tables were so shiny, all of them were made of gold. The tables were very nicely decorated. I saw how each angel was putting on the fork, the knife, the spoon, the glasses, the dishes, all made of gold, so beautiful. The Lord told me, "Servant, tell My people to get ready because very soon I will take them with Me so they can come here and enjoy with Me in the Wedding of the Lamb."

I am convinced, you WANT to be left behind to face God's wrath. What can God do for people that insist on this? I think He will allow it. God honors our faith.
