I feel like the concept of the rapture was invented by our greatest ally to make christians complacent
Why would the rapture happen now? Why not to your grandkids when they’re a persecuted minority in the country their ancestors founded?

The video SW posted pages back kind of makes that argument... it was something interesting I had never heard before.
It wasn't really a jew thing though, just an evil thing of making Christians complacent in the here and now.

The last one was a complete POS, but I'm sure you never figured that out, either. You know, for being the self-proclaimed "smartest person here," you actually aren't very bright.

I think I do.
The odds of the Catholic Pope being part of "globalism" are less than Christianity itself being a farce created by the OG "globalists"
It's very difficult to really project the concept of "globalism" without Christianity being a tool used by the ancient elite ruling class, but THAT is a discussion I doubt you're prepared to have

Why do you think it is obvious it was written before 70AD out of curiosity. Because that helps that certain view of eschatology?
I wouldn't say it's obvious but as to your question it's pretty much what I said, the fact that the events of 70 AD are not at all mentioned. That and a lot of the prophecies make a lot more sense when applied to 70 AD.
It's certainly would be confusing bc like much of the prophetic books of the Bible not all of the things prophecies in it would apply to that time. Some of them would be in reference to 70 AD and some of it in reference to when Jesus returns. Much like how Isiah and Ezekiel bounce between Jesus's first coming and His second

I don’t often bring the Church Fathers into a discussion, but they believe John was exiled at least a decade after 70AD….. after they tried to boil him in oil. By Domitian who ruled from 89-96.
I can't really refute it, either the church fathers were wrong about their timing, John didn't write it, or I'm wrong. But I will say if it is earlier it does make actual scripture make more sense and only puts the fathers in error

best thing. It’s not a salvation issue. It’s something we can come together and discuss and at the end, thank Christ we will be with Him for eternity
Agreed

It would be a good idea to have a religion board.

The Political Talk Board IS "The Religion Board." They should change the name to reflect that.
We post Rage Bait and Click Bait, then we have arguments about Religion.
This is the Religion Board.

For most of the life of the poli board, religious topics were banned.
The floods of 2016 and 2019 basically overwhelmed the possibility of regulation.

And could very well be that if there was a religion board, people would still go religio here too.

No, and no.
Not many people are at all. Fundamentally, loving the Lord with all your heart and soul, but still clinging to earthly things and pleasures won't cut it.

There's a reason why I started calling you STATIST. I bet you actually think that organizations like the United Nations, the WEF, the WHO, etc. are actually engaged in trying to improve the well-being of people?
I know you're an atheist (you've probably told us two dozen times), but a person didn't have to be Catholic to see that there was a totally different dynamic with Pope Francis. Hell, he didn't even believe in some of the core Christian principles. I'm sure that all went right over your head, though.
But, it's a waste of time engaging with a person who can't even figure out that we've had a corrupt Political Establishment in this country for at least 7 decades now. Let me guess. I bet you think Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone regarding the assassination of JFK, and there's nothing else to the story?
You would probably STILL say that Trump/Russia collusion was real? Did you choose to gloss over the fact that Obama refused to accept the first intelligence report which stated there was nothing to it? That he ordered them to come to the opposite conclusion, which they did and submitted to him one month later? And that all of this deception set up the phony Weissmann/Mueller investigation?
I truly feel sorry for you. You're the classic case of a narcissist who feels compelled to tell everybody that you're the smartest person in the room. But, the reality is that you're CLUELESS.

quote:No, it's the literal definition of the second coming.
That is the literal definition of rapture. The word "rapture" is derived from the Latin word for "caught up" (harpazo in Greek)
Rapture theory was created by John Nelson Darby (as a part of dispensationalism, which espouses rapture theory) in the 19th century. That's not up for debate: for 1800 years, all of Christianity wouldn't have a clue what you're talking about when you talk about the rapture. It's made up nonsense.
Instead of focusing on getting special treatment and skipping the end times, focus on building your faith, else you run the risk of falling away from it when the day comes because you thought you were not going to have to deal with the final boss of calamity. There will be many who won't have the faith to see through the deception and keep their faith, and for that reason alone, rapture theory is, by definition, apostasy.

Far from it. But there will be very few raptured. That is already known.

Not as ready as I need to be. Working on that.
I love my GOD and my personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and I try to live my best life for Him, but I'm well aware that more is required if I am to enter His eternal kingdom. I find myself guilty far too often of greed and being very personally vindictive, and lacking love for my neighbor.

there will be nothing to stop the transformation into an islamic rule.
The islamists will only have 7 years after the rapture to rule over whatever parts of the world they are able to control.
Then they get to enjoy bathing in the lake of fire for all eternity.
Eternity is a long time.

Have you excepted Christ as your lord and savior?
We are in right standing with God because of what Jesus did, if you are anyone else believes you work your way to right standing, then Jesus died in vain.
Salvation happens the minute you ask forgiveness for your sins and believe Jesus died for your sins. Sanctification is a continuous work in your life by now becoming in Christ. Believing in Jesus and what he did at the
cross is how both salvation and sanctification is achieved.
Romans 6-8 clearly explains this.
It is not I, but Christ that lives in me that puts me in right standing legally with God.
