Rapture Index thread on .......

[ludite]

I don't know if this is posted anywhere else on here, but it's up on ,,,,,, now along with
lots of comments and they are discussing Rapture Ready there. I'm not wise enough to defend
us, so if any who are able could go there and give the pre-trib view it would be a balanced debate.

[grace-saved]

I don't feel qualified enough either but I pray they see the truth in this and stop all the scoffing...

Sounds like they are fulfilling Prophecy: Where is He?


Better to invest in people who will listen.

[ludite]

Well now.....I didn't think of it like that, but you are right. Thanks for the insight. They have a lot of
different views there, but most are deniers. I do think that it's interesting that someone on there has
read Rapture Ready and went to the trouble of posting a thread. So it does give RR some visability,
and may get folks to take a look at the website.

I wouldn't worry about them. Just make sure you are polite and wave good-bye to them on your way up.

I have to kindly disagree. If they are saved and don't believe in a pre-trib rapture they will be going with us regardless. If they aren't saved then we should be trying to reach them so they can join us.

I definitely believe in a pre-trib rapture, but I am concerned about others who because they claim to believe in the pre-trib rapture they are convinced that we will not face any really difficult times. I hope we don't, but we have to realize that we don't know when and whatever comes we are in God's hands. He will come for us when the time is right.

The Rapture will not happen according to the "Rapture Index" but in God's perfect timing.Some may get discouraged because they think it is taking too long.

Yeah I saw that this morning--amazing how many folks just toss out Bible prophecy as if it all ended with the destruction of Herod's Temple. It's almost like going to the Democratic Underground there whenever a "Rapture" or "Dispensationalism" thread comes up. 75% of the comments come from sarcastic juveniles who never grew up.

[Not Perfect, But Forgiven]

Don't even acknowledge them. They deserve nothing. If they choose to discuss our faith, that is fine. However, if they desire to mock and ridicule, then that tells me more about them than any biography. These immature psuedo-intellectuals sit in their mom's basement and troll the internet for easy targets to boost their stunted egos. Picking on individuals with conviction is an effective means of coping with a poor self image and feelings of worthlessness from a lifetime platonic and superficial relationships and living. Christians are among the most desirable targets, because our words and beliefs cut deep into their under-developed consciences. Let them laugh and scoff. In fact, I encourage it. That's the last good feeling they'll have for a good 7 years pretty soon. Let them laugh one more good time, really have a riot. Perhaps these memories will comfort them in their abject terror when they are faced with judgement from a Holy God. Maranatha.

As an SDA who has lurked here for awhile. I really do enjoy the discussions you all have regarding Israel and prophecy. But I think so far my favorite thread is the one where everyone talks about what they are looking forward to about Heaven, with my favorite response being given by Tiger Lily.

Doing a search for Adventist here at RR brings up many many threads, where ridicule and accusations of cultiness (word? probably not) come in to play. So keep in mind that what you guys feel as attacks towards a pretrib belief, is exactly how I feel when my beliefs get attacked.

The baseline for myself and I know everyone here, is we are saved by Christ, nothing else. And as we go out in to the world (or the Internet) and have our encounters with people of different persuasions, the best thing for all of us is to expound the love of Jesus. I agree "Not Perfect, But Forgiven", mockery and ridicule will never get us anywhere.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you in Heaven, very soon.

And Mtown, I'm glad you said what you did from your perspective of a pretrib belief. You don't believe that those who don't subscribe to this belief, but who are saved, will be in Heaven.

Sorry folks,,,...,,...

Lots of scoffers out there scoffing about the Lord. We just ignore them.

And this is precisely why. Welcome to the board.

No offense, but if you have something to say, post your testimony as a common courtesy, and defend your beliefs with scripture. We are not worried about what people say. The SDA makes it clear what they think of anyone not joined with them, the accusations fly the other way, such as anyone without their beliefs has the mark of the beast. We merely point out what that group is.

It's all about Grace Through Faith in Jesus; no works for salvation.
