    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Hi there, Ruby! No. Both the resurrected and those who are alive, will be in their immortal and glorified bodies. In fact a Sadducee came asked Jesus the same question and His response was that those who take part in the resurrection neither marry nor are given in marriage, but will be like the...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Seeing that the majority of the earth's population will have been decimated during the time of God's wrath, people will indeed repopulate the earth during the thousand years. Those great tribulation saints who make it through the entire wrath of God, will enter into the millennial kingdom in...

    I think I committed the unforgivable sin or did I

    Hello Anthony55, I copied the below from my post #18. ================================================================== Post #18 Regarding the title of your post, in order to commit the unforgiveable sin, you would have to proclaim, just as the Jewish leaders did, that Jesus was casting out...

    Why do Christians believe in a place of torment called Hell?

    No, it is not. The very first verse of Revelation says the following: "This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soona come to pass." That said, the majority of the Revelation is given to God's wrath via the seals, trumpets and bowl judgments...

    I think I committed the unforgivable sin or did I

    Good day, Clear River, Regarding the title of your post, in order to commit the unforgiveable sin, you would have to proclaim, just as the Jewish leaders did, that Jesus was casting out demons through the prince of demons. Since Jesus was casting out demons through the Spirit of God, they were...

    Why do Christians believe in a place of torment called Hell?

    You are correct in that, there is much symbolism in Revelation. However, we need to discern between what is to be interpreted literally and symbolically. We can't just assign symbolism to everything. The context will bear this out. That said, I can assure you that the lake of fire, everlasting...

    If the Rapture is true, just who are the saints beheaded by the Antichrist?

    Greetings Timothy, What you have said above is false! No one can obtain salvation by the shedding of their own blood. This is why Jesus appeared in the flesh, i.e. as a human being, so that He could represent believers, but as One without sin. Those who are killed by the beasts government will...

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    Good day, Evmur! I believe that God's wrath/tribulation, will be poured out during the entire seven years following the churches removal. The GT is the last 3 1/2 years of that seven year period. And the reason that it is called the GT, is because it is in the middle of the seven years when...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    Hello rayzor, Now, here is the important part that most people brush over. What is "that day" referring to. Hint: it is found in verse 2 which is "The Day of the Lord" which is not the same as the coming of our Lord and our being gathered to Him. Not recognizing this is where all of...

    How the Pre-Trib Rapture Became Popular in the Modern Church

    You are are correct in that when the Lord descends to the air, that He brings with Him those believers who have died in Him. To be clear, it is their spirits that the Lord will be bringing with Him, where at which time their BODIES will be resurrected with their spirits being reunited with their...

    "Lord will only few be saved?"

    "Lord will only few be saved?"

    Quite true! Jesus said: "And someone asked Him, “Lord, will only a few be saved [from the penalties of the last judgment]?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door [continuing in faith and forcing aside unbelief and the attractions of sin]; for many, I tell you, will try...

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    Hello again, evmur, I previously agreed with you regarding this issue in that, Jesus said believers would have trials and tribulations, which come at the hands of men and the powers of darkness and which has been the case from the on-set of the church. However, once the church is gathered, then...

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    Hello Mindwrencher, When combining all of the scriptures regarding the resurrection, it soon becomes apparent that resurrection takes place in phases, which is called "the first resurrection." Because people have not done a complete study on this, the take the word "First" to mean "only," which...

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    Good day, Evmur, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18: This is the event of the Lord's appearing to gather the church, dead and living, where we are caught up to meet Him in the air, where according to John 14:1-3, He takes us back to the Father's house. This takes place prior to the God's wrath. Matthew...

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    Good day, Jackson! First, let us list the correct wording of the scripture: "If anyone is destined for captivity, into captivity he will go; if anyone is to die by the sword, by the sword he must be killed.” Here is a call for the perseverance and faith of the saints...

    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 Vs. Matthew 24:29-31

    Your question is not relevant to the issue, as it has to do with 1 Thess.4:16-18 not being the same event as Matt.24:29-31. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 = The resurrection of the dead in Christ and the transformation of the living immortal and glorified and caught up. Matthew 24:29-31 = The Lord's...
