You know that whole common thing about believers not being prepared for the tribulation is a worn out thing and is just not right. I won't deny there are those who just want to escape some want to just go home and escape this others want to be with Jesus so badly it almost drives them insane
Both are valid reasons this place is not our home it is only natural to have a longing to be where you belong. And the desire to be with Jesus well that is scriptural
However what isn't scriptural is the assumption that their hearts would not be prepared for what is to come because one could also argue if the pretrib rapture is correct that you will miss it because we are even told to keep watch I could use the ten virgins parable as a point or how he mentions coming as a thief but that would be assuming your heart was not prepared because you didnt believe in it and were expecting to go through the tribulation.
I think discussing this to gain further understanding is good but when you go as far to call another persons stance a lie from the devil assurting your stance as the truth that is just wrong.
Are you not capable of being wrong as much as I am? If all the people who thought they knew better and then God just does things in a way they didn't see coming could have had the bible yet we have it and continue to make the same mistakes we study and gain our understanding of the truth rather our truth and we assume we aren;t wrong.
The way I see it what you call the seed the enemy planted isn't the doctrine of the rapture in any sense of itself the seed he planted was the confusion division and seperation of the truth the church and the body.
Look at the debate of the rapture see the seperation of what the truth of the matter is? See the division the arguments the slander everything this topic alone brings with it? And no one sees the thorns of the devil here? No one questions why we are trying to prove the so called truth when we can't even agree on the truth of one single topic?
If we actually had the truth and understanding of this matter no matter where you stand on it there would be no way to disprove it truth is not able to be disproven that is why is called truth.
Clearly if we cannot disprove the so called lies of the enemy then we don't have the full picture do we? So to assume your doctrine is correct and not even consider that maybe you might be wrong about your entire understanding is jumping the gun.
The truth is we need to be loaded guns not lose cannons 😊.
I look at the bible in a nut shell, which is anyone verse can be used to fit a person belief, and a assumption to.
For this reason I can not tolerate those who dislike other denominations, or automatically assume you must be this denomination or that, !But I am learning to tolerate those who argue this stance and then say your the one who is judge mental or who have come to debate.
Today i sat and prayed and the father told me how the separation
Of the truth is something that is easily done with the carnal mind,
No the father said the truth does not intend to divide, but unite.
It's easy to forget the instructions.
But it's also easy to have your over head projector on
The overhead projector is the sounding boards of heaven (the higher council) 😊.
We all have direct access to it through our interceder and also someone i would call the king of prophecy (yummy yummy 😋).
The lord tells me how the opposite of darkness and light attract, the real answer is simple when a new world comes we won't have the accuser of the brethren setting folk up for the fall, we will have a reformed church and a sounding board on earth that will well and truly establish forgiveness for future sins, because even when the new world comes on earth mankind will still sin,
It will be the same after Noah.
People say no earth will be heaven one day, but yet after Noah, this never happened, after Jesus this never happened, after the 12 tribes of Isreal this never happened,
After The garden of Eden this never happened
But yet theese where all occasions when Gods kingdom came to earth.
Then we have sin taking place in heaven (the Rebellion of the angels).
So people say no sin could happen when earth becomes heaven, which is also a hope for pre tribulation, but is that a hope or a hopeful imagination of wishfully thinking.
I love the idea my self but divorces have happend in heaven to,
Untill this yet another day of the return of our kingdom, this time hopefully for Good, we will have to dwell in hope and prayer and in each other and our holy spirit, but the longing really is going to lead to all sorts of wonderful imagination 😊
May the grace of lord Jesus be with you😊
