RE: Got Jesus?
Oh, I think it's pertinent. That's why I commented. You blog is a fear tactic, and that's not something I think Jesus would do, nor should His followers.
Again, I've studied prophecy until my eyes bled... (That's figurative) I disagree with the interpretation you are working with, and I understand it very well. I'm not interested in it. I think it's pointless and counterproductive. I don't think Jesus came just to save our souls, I think He came to teach us how to live as well. It's important how we live, and the rapture doctrine gives people excuses to not follow Jesus' commands because, after all, we're not going to be here for much longer, right? I also think it's unwise to assume that Christians won't be around for tribulation. Seriously, don't you think the Christians living in Syria think they're seeing Great Tribulation? How about the Armenian Genocide? Diocletian persecution?
Yes Christians around the world are experiencing tribulations and their faith is being proven. It’s a promise of being Christian.
The rapture is spelled out is many scriptures from Daniel to Thessolonians to great detail in revelations.
I agree that Christ came to teach us how to live but more importantly to pay for the right to wipe our slates clean at judgement day.
I’ve made some edits to the post thanks to you but yes it’s most definitely aimed developing a healthy fear of God and the wrath he will pour out on the unsaved rebels at the rapture.
These warnings are spelled out in the Bible are real and your attitude gives people a false sense of immunity.
I’ve also added these edits to the blog post because I do not have a clear understanding of what the Bible says about eternal torture or annihilation.
But if you would care to present a summary of what you believe will be the final result for the unsaved and why it matters other than solely if it’s different than the alleged slander of God.
I’ve read that some people believe that all souls made in Gods image will eventually be purified and accepted into heaven; is that what you believe too?
Edits to Blog Entry:
1. Either way this question is moot for the purposes of this blog entry; Whether souls be Annihilated or into Eternal Punishment; makes no difference to me. I want no part of either. I choose the Hand of Christ rather than disappoint my God.
