    Was Paul a Torah observant Jew?

    Hi Yahshua, I guarantee you, that no Christian is keeping the law, nor are we to do so. We are under a different covenant, saved by grace through faith and not by the works of the law. We follow Christ and are led by the Spirit. Jesus fulfilled the law, meeting it righteous requirements on...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    Sorry, but we don't stumble over this as you just did. "ek" means "out of" i.e. to be kept 'out of', not through the hour of trial, nor during, but to be kept out of. Meaning that those who keep the patience of His word will be kept out of that hour of trial, i.e. God's time of wrath. Do you...

    Was Paul a Torah observant Jew?

    Yeah, I disagree with this completely, as Paul was Pharisee himself, zealous for the law and the traditions: "If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    (Continued) from Jocund I use this scripture myself all the time. To understand who the "they" are in the verse, you need to go back and read verse 11 which is referring to the beast and the ten kings. Therefore, the scripture says the following: "They (the beast and the ten kings) will...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    Good day, Jocund! "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I will also keep you out of the hour of testing that is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth." The "Hour of Trial" is another moniker for "The Day of the Lord" and the tribulation period...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    amillennialism is a ridiculous belief in that it ignores a literal thousand years which is stated six times in Revelation 20:1-7. You and others are just choosing to not believe what you are reading. Because if you take the scripture at face value, you cannot say that it does not say "a thousand...

    "I will destroy man": the judgments which are to come

    You actually believe that the 6th seal comes after the 7th seal, putting them out of sequence? Also, the phrase "beginning of sorrows" does not = not God's wrath. The fact is that it is the Lamb/Jesus who will be opening the seals, which lead into the trumpets and followed by the bowl judgments...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    I continue to quote it from John 14:1-3 and you continue to reject it! You're like little kids putting their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes while loudly saying "la, la, la, la ...." in order to block out the truth. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 combined with 1 Corinthians 15 states that...

    "I will destroy man": the judgments which are to come

    Hello Nehemiah, Actually, those events do not fall under the 7th seal, but is preparatory for the trumpet judgments which follow, i.e. The 7th seal leads into the trumpets which are the next set of judgements. After the trumpet judgements then as you already know, comes the next set of...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    Well said! The word 'ek' is correctly translated as 'out of,' i.e. I will keep you out of the hour of trial.

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    When all of the information is utilized, then the correct conclusion is that the gathering of the church takes place pre-tribulation i.e. prior to the onset of God's wrath! However, the on-going problem is that, people come in with partial information and distort or circumvent the truth. The...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    Well, those who do love their lives and worship the beast and receive his mark, would be not be the tribulation saints. I was pulling from the following scripture: "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to...

    Jesus comes immediately AFTER the tribulation, there is no Left Behind Secret Rapture=Stop causing fear.

    There will be those who come to Christ after the church has been gathered and during the time of God's wrath. This is why Jesus warns believers to always be watching and ready so that that day does not close on us like a trap. For He says: "For it will come on all those who live on the face of...

    What event begins the Tribulation

    You just gave the answer as to when: "The overcomers will be raptured prior to the tribulation." After that a seven year covenant will be made, which will initiate that last seven years. Therefore, until the church has been gathered and the antichrist follows with his seven year covenant...

    And don't forget the Lord's promise in John 14:1-3, which does show Jesus taking believers back to the Father's house to those places that He will have prepared for us.

    What event begins the Tribulation

    Greetings Omegatime, "He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him. ” One seven = one...

    "They wrath has come" is also stated at the 6th seal: "And the kings of the earth, and the great ones, and the commanders, and the rich, and the powerful, and every slave and free, hid themselves in the caves, and among the rocks of the mountains. And they say to the mountains and to the rocks...

    Abraham - Why Is He Our Father Of Faith

    Hi P_rehbein, "Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham, but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead." This is what God meant when He said to Abraham "I will make you the Father of all...

    What does "Do not go beyond what is written" (1 Cor 4:6) mean?

    Hello TheLearner, In order to understand what Paul was saying, we have to look at the context which begins in 1 Corinthians 3:1-5. "Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn’t talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as...
