what 7 years of tribulation?
when Jesus said that to His disciples concerning the destruction of Jerusalem in 70ad, did He mean pray they would be raptured out?
To be acquitted, and to be condemned, are expressed, in Romans 14:4, by standing and falling. Those who were faithful to the grace they had received were not only not destroyed in the destruction of Jerusalem, but became heralds of the grace and mercy of God to the nations. Thus they were counted worthy to stand before the Son of man - to minister salvation in his name.
pretribulation rapture is a sad hoax.
do some research on it (it's not in scripture anywhere), then repent of wrong beliefs, drop it and continue your studies and carry the gospel as we are supposed to.
what are you so afraid of?

Did the 1000 year kingdom start in 70AD ??? Do you believe that was the time of Jacob troubles??? What is we went back in time with all our Technology ?? Do you think they could beat us?? So that wasn’t the time of Jacob troubles.
So when is that ?? I would say we are closer today ( RAPTURE )than ever. IT wasn’t for that say for sure

Ashamed to admit.... no faith my friend? I used to heal people through prayer but then I found out I was one of the Matthew 7 people that does wonders in the Name of Jesus, yet I work the iniquity. Fortunately God showed me my errors, so I can do something about that.
Imagine me Cobus standing before the Lord and I say... LORD LORD check out all the people I healed in your Name..... And He says... "Who are you? I have never known you, Go away from me, you work iniquity."
It would be a unpleasent surprise would it not? Well some people are going to get that surprise as I see in in Matthew 7. And it would be quite a number of people. So now I am busy with 1 John 3 ... the cleansing himself as He is clean part. And hopefully God will also baptize me with Hi Spirit, and I will recieve the gift of the Holy Spirit as in 1 Cor 12, one or more of the nine, and then I can live out the gift ... serving my fellow man with His gift.
I see one of those gifts is faith, I wonder if all children of God gets that gift? Sorry to admit that i do not have faith, but it is the truth, As no person can buy or get faith, I suppose I will trust God to give me faith, even as little as a mustard seed, I will gladly accept! See Jesus said faith as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain, just guess what it would do with bi-polar disorder! And even greater, what will faith God gives to me do to sin in my life? It will remove it as far as the East is from the West. GREAT!
So I pray... Lord look unto me, I am dirty and bad, but Lord you know my heart, And Lord let THOU will be done in me, Amen!

Fortunately, the tiny group of people you know does not represent the millions of people worldwide who have this illness. I am a Christian, and I am a therapist who works in acute psychiatrics. I think its very narrow minded of you to try and attach mental illness to demon possessed, but its an easy trap to fall into.
Both healthy and unhealthy non christians can be demon influenced or possessed. And the best way you can help them is to not automatically think all mentally ill (esp those with Bipolar) are possessed. Some maybe some are not.
There are lots of people out there who genuinely need pharmacological treatment (meds) for mental illness, and others who don't.
The best thing you need to learn is not whether or not their demon possessed, what you need to learn is that no matter where they are in their recovery, they are made in Gods image and we need to treat them as such.

You cannot go around telling people just because they have a mental illness or a disability that they are not saved or that they are demon possessed. Even the United States government protects people with these disabilities under ADA and in many workplaces, making a claim that a person is demon possessed because of their illness or disability will get you fired and possibily sued for harassment.
i do not say that they are possessed. maybe just oppressed. are you a christian, jw. and if you are, do you base your beliefs entirely on what can be proven by science, because if so, science has this uncanny way of trying to disprove the existence of anything divine and limit our understanding to the physical world. science cannot coexist with christianity.
and a little bit of personal background. i have been diagnosed with ptsd, ocd, major/psychotic depression, and social anxiety disorder. prayer works just fine for me. I tried medication for a long and it had adverse effects on my faith, by severing my spiritual link and it did little to improve my symptoms. The reason we depend on medication in modern times is because people have lost sight of God and their roots with the divine have been nearly destroyed. even physical trauma that requires aid from doctors and medicine could be cured if people could muster the faith required to do so and pray. sadly, that type of faith doesn't seem to exist anymore.

and possession is not portrayed properly in movies and tv. that's an overexageration. the powers are more subtle than that and work on levels that go beyond physical radar. if possession was as it is in movies it would do the enemy more harm than good, because as soon as people realized that demons are real, they would have no choice but to believe God is real. why would they want the world to know they were working? that would not be beneficial to their ultimate goal, which is to deceive the world into not believing God exists, or to convert people into believing they can become gods themselves like the new age teaches. which is coincidentally what satan told adam and eve would happen if they ate from the apple.

No offense, Ellie - but, you have a corrupted bible version...
("That verse is just full of error.")
Give me a little time - and I will follow up this post with another explaining why I say this. (Or, perhaps, I should start another thread?)
Good point...
