I believe Lord Jesus supposed so, I just quoted his words. The only thing I've "supposed" is that the persons who're "taken" in Matt. 24:40-41 are the same "them" in Matt. 24:39. Feel free to draw any wild conclusion based on preconceived notion, don't drag me in.
Jesus used the half taken example twice.
You can not reconcile it or make it fit.
In your doctrine, "before" can not be before anything.
Play it out.
Don't modify it.
Why did he bother to use "before"?
You are now saying Jesus did not mean before anything, because nothing fits "before".
There is "after" , in your doctrine, when Jesus comes, correct?
Your entire doctrine says the church does nothing "before".
There is zero "before"
Absolutely NOTHING HAPPENS BEFORE THE TRIB.
That is your "ABSOLUTE".
YOUR ABSOLUTE, UNCHANGEABLE "ABSOLUTE", is that NOTHING happens ANYWHERE , or to ANYONE "BEFORE" THE TRIB.
Your doctrine has the next event as the AC arriving, or the trib arriving, or both arriving,
But nothing "before" anything.
Your doctrine has JESUS COMING, IN THE SECOND COMING , on white horses, and the rapture at that same time, and the resurrection also at that same time.
"Before", is NOWHERE in your workbook.
So you can not fathom Jesus putting anything BEFORE anything.
"Before" is a brand new dimension.
Your pretrib rapture of the wicked is YOUR CONCEPT.
YOUR doctrine invented it.
....and until now, ALL POSTRIBBERS were oblivious to their silly invention.
Your doctrine is a joke.
It is a mean trick of your mens invention.
All of you are left with attacking the messenger.
It is ALWAYS what you guys do your deathroll in.
It is so comical watching you guys go against the word, and end in attacking me with curses and invented personal deficiencies.
Wicked raptured huh???
Ok.
If it helps your mind.
Pretty bizarre, but I do see how embarrassed you guys are.
In a sense, it would be a natural end to hate the person that left years of futile investment in ashes.
Now tell me all about my personal deficiencies.
Don't open that dusty bible.
It testifies against your error big time.
It is not a hundred red flags to you that you have been asked a million times for a postrib rapture verse and you Can NOT produce even one????????
