Go ahead and appreciate it about me also.

Not only do I not hate postribbers, but I don't hate anyone.

Be careful what you sling around.

Hi again psalm-

Not sure why you are quoting my posts to other members as if I was talking to/about you. šŸ¤” Interesting. 🧐

But yes, a lack of hate is something I can appreciate about anyone who displays it, yourself included.

Best!
 

I call BS on everything you say. It's all lies.


God knows you don't believe, but things will happen anyway.

Mat 24
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Amen.
The flood came and took them away.


Now look it all in context.
( without any need for changes or omissions)
Mat 24

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Before the flood..normal life.
Before judgement?, normal life.

"Then shall 2 be in a field..."

Before the flood 2 shall be in a field.

Now restart your examination.
No spin, no reddit trails.
Just try
Try without and omissions or additives
Try to admit that there's neither pre-trib rapture or resurrection, since everything is "normal" as you've been hollering at me. If "taking" is supposed to be the rapture, then it's for the wicked who cling to their normalcy bias without any awareness of the apocalypse.

Jesus is the firstfruits of the 1st resurrection.
That points to hmain harvest.
1st resurrection AUTOMATICALLY HAS 2 PARTS ACCORDING TO THE WORD.
AUTOMATICALLY A 2 PART DEAL.

NOW..harvest is more than 2 parts.
( and you still do not know firstfruits AUTOMATICALLY POINTS TO HARVEST)
After all those sentences and walking you through it, you still do not know that Jesus being the firstfruits, points to a multi layered, multi event, first resurrection.

So no matter what...you need all that to go away.

It never will.
God's eternal word.
"Multi layered, multi eventā€ is purely phoney balooney which I do need to go away.

For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
 
Maybe it will help to see the pretrib rapture dynamic.
Let's test fit it.

A solo Jesus coming for his bride, and only takes those belonging to him.
His immediate close ones.
Then ascending into the air, and the virgin parable has the groom taking his bride into the marriage chamber.

...and note the TOTAL absence of your second coming rapture theory;
ACTS 1 LIKE MANNER RETURN;
White horses...missing and way way off
Power and great glory..missing
Swords...missing
Warrior king....missing
Robe dipped in blood....missing
Bride becoming the wife...missing
Saints on white horses....missing
wearing a crown....missing
Slaughtering the AC....missing
Setting up earthly kingdom.....missing

Like manner has Nothing to do with geographic location.
( I can " run like the wind" in Florida or nevada")

So the non factor of location, has become your pivotal foundation?

I am amazed you even brought up "like manner"
It testifies so decisively against any connection with your postrib theory.

Thanks for actually pointing it out.
Again, all phoney balooney. You're inventing a "secret" third coming, which contradicts your every "prooftext" in which the trumpet will be blown, loud enough to wake up the dead from the grave.

It boils down to post-tribrs assume our Father is going to leave the Body of Christ/Church here during the Great Trib/Wrath of God , along with the wicked. Pre-tribrs see Jesus calling us up to Himself before God's terrible punishment of the world comes down.

Still having no idea on the difference between the wrath of God and the wrath of Satan, aren't you. And still in denial of the Great Multitude and the tribulation saints being the Body of Christ.

People who convert to Christianity during the Tribulation, often called "Tribulation saints," are generally considered distinct from the "Body of Christ" or "Church" in many dispensationalist views, although they are saved believers. While they believe in Jesus and gain salvation, they are often seen as a separate group from the Church, which is raptured before the tribulation. They are considered martyrs or saints who will reign with Christ during the millennium.

Don't you see this is a cowardly cop out? Let me ask you this, do the church of Smyrna and the church of Thyatira belong to the Body of Christ? Do Lord Jesus's disciples belong to the Body of Christ? To them tribulation is decreed in a definitive tone, do you have to invent other "distinct groups" for them also? I know you're gonna mention Rev. 3:10, but that's exclusively for the church of Philadelphia, what makes you think you and every pretribber is guaranteed card holding member of that church? What if this is referring to the 144,000 sealed Israelites? What if this means the Philadelphia church parishioners will all be six feet deep by the time the Antichrist is revealed? Have you considered these possibilities beyond your false doctrine and false hope?

ā€œThen they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. (Matt. 24:9-13)

ā€œAnd to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,ā€˜These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: ā€œI know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); ... Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. (Rev. 2:8-10)

ā€œAnd to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ... Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols ... Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. (Rev. 2:18-22)

They are the left behind ones.
Mat 24
One taken, one left.
Roughly half the church.
Note that their dirty robes had to be washed.
Carnal believers with dirty robes.
The rapture is the bride.
Jesus called his bride worthy ones.

...and yet your setting that is opposite Jesus setting is OK with you?

The setting in the ones taken is vivid.
The setting in act one, "like manner" , is vivid.
Your misplaced setting is exactly opposite.
Even the virgin parable( the Bibles most descriptive rapture picture) has a setting EXACTLY OPPOSITE your setting.

Huh?
No red flags?

If half are taken, as Jesus declared, in your supposed wicked people rapture, then you are believing, half the world is wicked ?

So you are saying firstfruits does not point to harvest?

That is hard to swallow, that you need firstfruits changed, along with all the other verses you have changed.

So far, you are telling me that, furstfruits is actually not harvest, that Jesus got the setting wrong in 2 places, and that before the flood, half the world is wicked, and half righteous, and there is a pretrib wicked people rapture of half the planet?

Half of earth's population is saved immediately before the trib? (Before the flood, one taken / one left behind)?

You changed Rev 20.
What about those that keep changing it?
...as you insist on?
Are the plagues layered on top of their heads?
 
It is love to warn people of coming danger and how to survive it. If you see it as hostile and keep going withou following instructions to keep you safe, that is on you.

It is interesting that Jesus said before the flood, one taken, one left, then in the sane breath Jesus warns us to watch and be ready.

Huh?
Before the flood, Jesus is coming, and he is telling us to be ready, because he is coming for the wicked?

I didn't tell you that, Rev. 14:4 did. I did read it as a fact, you didn't. Rev. 14:4 doesn't contradict 1 Cor. 15:20, the difference is in Lev. 23. You rejected it, that's your problem.
The 144,000 being firstfruits.
That is just empty chatter from God's Word?

You can not understand firstfruits after all I have schooled you on?

Firstfruit Jewish harvest vs firstfruits main harvest of the church.

You still can not grasp the 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT harvests?

Really?

I thought you claimed changing Revelation invoked cursing.

You're confused again. I didn't talk about that. You should have your doctor check you for dementia or alzhemers.

Coincidentally, you keep distorting scripture and His sound doctrine. God is not pleased with what you're doing and His judgment is hanging over you.
