The Rapture - Escaping the Coming Judgement.

Very well, Judethz, however I'm sure you know the Authorized KJV did originally include the Apocrypha - the KJV translators and the church at that time, although they never considered the writings to be equal to scripture, they believed them to be of value. With a lot of Christiandom giving their time over to "prophets" on YouTube, how much more value are these ancient writings?

And by the way, Jesus is clearly written about in the Apocrypha, well before His birth.

Yes I am aware that there was an attempt to include the Apocrypha in the Authorized KJV. In fact it's mentioned in this quite interesting Chick illustrated tract.

THE ATTACK... [link to www.chick.com (secure)]

Just wondering, who wrote that? Seriously, names please and facts to back it up. Otherwise you are making claims of unproven claims by unknown authors about a unproven being.

It sounds like someone who goes to a backslidden liberal church and likes their

"judgement free" attitude where everyone is welcome...as long as they are not seriously seeking the truth that is.

2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Pre trib rapture is a satanic lie. And millions of Christians will fall away from the church once the tribulation starts and they realise they are not being whisked away anywhere anytime soon.

Read the Bible for yourself, it makes it clear the rapture occurs once only when Jesus returns at the second Coming.

Otherwise you would have to believe there are 2 raptures and that the first raptured get stranded in heaven for 1000 years while Jesus rules on earth with the tribulation saints.

And you would also have to believe that Satan is bound up for these 1000 years whilst there is paradise on earth only to be released to cause more mayhem at the battle of Gog and Magog. It doesn't make any sense because it is rubbish.

Sorry, but pre trib rapture is nonsense and only believed by 'Christians' who consider themselves special in that they will avoid any trouble at all whilst the whole human history of the Church is littered with persecution and death of far more faithful and dedicated believers than are found today.
Why would God make a special dispensation for these believers alive during the End times such that they avoid anything harsh? The only dispensation He grants is that those who do not take the Mark of the Beast will not be subject to the wrath of the seven vials at the end of the Tribulation. That is those who survive, for the number one target of the antichrist beast system will be believers that refuse the mark, and many of these will be killed for it. These are the real tribulation saints who endured or gave their lives for Christ.

Just as the i.raelites suffered the first 3 plagues but were not affected by the last 7 plagues that God hit Egypt with, end times Christians will also have to suffer the tribulation but will be spared the wrath of God's judgment on the unbelieving idolatrous world at the end.

When will your patience start running out Judethz?

I won't reply beyond this post about this subject but had to say I think Jack Chick got this one wrong. Most non-Catholics know enough not to get their doctrine from the Apocrypha. The books are equally as important historically as the Dead Sea Scrolls, Roman history, Josephus, among many others. Reading the Apocrypha is not going to convert anyone to Catholicism as much as reading Roman history will make someone a Roman.

I think it is far more dangerous getting a "word from the Lord" from people on YouTube.

Never, G-d willing. Like everyone else I have to take things day by day,

because as the Lord has explained to us, the Rapture will come upon us all like a thief in the night. A few days, a few months, a few years, I don't really know. But what I do know is that there is no particular event that has to happen before the Rapture takes place. Which is why I keep telling people to get right with the Lord now, while you are still blessed with a little time. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow and then where would you be?

The days of grace are about to end and soon those of you who refuse to come to the Lord will be thrown to the 'tender mercy's' of our hell serving leaders. [link to youtu.be (secure)]

the resurrection of the living
and second of the dead

read bible
then post

Judethz, is there a symbolism to the girl with the falcon here?

While being under particularly nasty attack I coincidentally came across Isaiah 54:15-17.

They just shut my internet down on my tablet when I went to post it on another thread.

No it's more like a theme of nice pictures of girls with animals.

Kill Yourselves.

sorry, but you are wrong. there is a pretrib rapture/resurrection event and there is nothing written that states anything has to happen or be fulfilled before he snatches his bride (the church) away.

pile of rubbish

The judgment of the house of God comes first.
The believers who did not obey Jesus' words in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John will be judged by those words. These church going believers read the words of Jesus many times but they did not obey His words. The words of Jesus will judge them.
How to escape the 'Coming Judgment'? Follow Jesus on the Narrow Way and obey what He said.

And now, the time has come.

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come: and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Revelation 14:6-8

Many believers are still living their lives 'in Babylon' after being warned to LEAVE and come out. Jesus told us to "Be holy as I AM holy."
Isaiah 35:8
"And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it--only those who walk in The WAY--and fools will not stray onto it."
Jesus is The WAY TRUTH LIFE

Now I know where I saw you. I was sitting outside the library near the Darwin monument and you asked me, "would you like a copy of the New Testament?" and I replied "no" and then you asked, "do you know what it is?" and I replied "yes". You walked off then.

There is no rapture and I'm going to enjoy laughing in your f****** faces. nothing worse than a rapture tard. They are the Antichrist.

uh...ya... Right... whatever... such is the living God.
Well at least the one of the X'ians.
i went to sunday school against my parents wishes.ugh
i was only about 6 years old.
i was sent home for asking "blasphemous questions ???
Sixty some years later i am not sure "what" that word
means?
i studied the bible etc and every thing i could on it.
Even though reading was difficult.
As i was considered "SLOW" as they did not coined the
word dyslectic yet.
Yet i managed to graduate anyway.
Vietnam war was going when i graduated.
i got called in for the army physical/psych examination.
Was doing ok until i popped a woody standing naked at
attention with a hundred other naked guys waiting for
a hernia exam.
OOPS !!!
i lied through my teeth and said i was not gay.
They listed me as 4f anyway.
Ugh !!!
I prayed to God to turn me straight.
Guess there are some thing God can't do.
Since then i have experienced a lot of Christian HATE !!!
In my thirties i realized that i was not like the
christian god of HATE. Or any of the other gods of HATE.
Or like the christians who love to hate.
As i was just "ME". And that i enjoyed helping people.
And "expected" nothing in return for doing so. And that
was pretty much the what i got as far as things. But
when i started loving my self instead of a god of hate.
Other people began to love me and care about me and
were happy to have in their presence.
And that was all i needed for the eternal NOW !

What is the origin of that picture?

Where did that picture come from?

Where did this picture come from? They are all the same kind of infamous photos from WW2 Germany.

My super crowded large West Coast city is now a ghost town...it hath begun.
