diplomatically speaking, i suggest reading Roman 5:8,9 & 1st Thessalonians 5:9 & most of all, 1st Thessalonians 4: 13-18. what's the sense in being saved if you're going to be here during the tribulation? what are you saved from? we all may as well live like the devil & do what we want. how can it be that Christians & atheists are here during the tribulation when christians, before hand, were saved?
