Lets assume that you believe that Christ will come before the great tribulation takes place, and this is the general opinion that has circulated for about the last hundred or so years. Now all of the sudden you find yourself in the middle of the great tribulation and this convincing world ruler is on the scene taking over the whole world. Lets say that they even want you to put this leaders symbol on the back of your hand before you can even buy anything, but it's OK because it's just for identification, so they say. The next thing that will run through your mind is, hay I must have been wrong in my belief, because the church or body of Christ is supposed to be gone before all this torture stuff takes place! So if I was wrong about that maybe there is a lot in the Bible that I have been wrong about because sure enough people that claim to be Christians are dying at the hands of this super power. What Hitler did to the Jews, this guy is doing to the Jews and the Christians. Since I was wrong about this tribulation stuff, maybe I don't really have eternal life like I thought, and what these people are doing to those that profess Christ is the real thing for sure. The next thing that goes through your head is that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, so could you guys use kind of a small mark because I never really have liked tattoos, and besides that I am getting pretty hungry about now since you wouldn't sell me any food. So does it make a difference when Christ comes, He seemed to think so and so did Paul in his teaching. Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 2 Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; If everyone is expecting the rapture to take place before the great tribulation the faith of many will crumble and we might even find a verse in the Bible that goes something like this. Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Have a nice day. CDBJ |

CDBJ - I am feeling that I was just "slapped?" My brother -I turn the other cheek to your remarks. This issue is not edifying when it causes division and hard feelings in the body of Christ. The Lord knows who belong to Him and He will keep His promises to them. In this life or the next, I'm looking forward to seeing the Lord face-to face! "keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life." Jude 1:21 Mommapbs |

I am sorry that you took it that way, but if I remember right I think it was your question, does it really mater. I was just trying to show you a scenario and the severity of the wrong decision, if I would have answered your question with a yes, would you have felt as bad. If I really made you feel that bad please accept my apology but please challenge the answer, please don't think that the answer was a personal attack on you that was not the intent. The answers and questions on the forum go out to hundreds and I haven't any idea what everyone is thinking. When my pastor says something that steps on my toes I don't accuse him of attacking me personally. I'm sorry you feel that way! Have a nice day, CDBJ |

Apology accepted. Thank you. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on some issues here at the Forum. |
