So am I understanding correctly that the interpretation being proposed by those who believe that the one taken is killed and fed to vultures happens when Jesus comes down on Mount Olivet and kills all those gathered around Jerusalem. These are the ones that are taken? And then fed to vultures...

Trying to figure out how that works (the millennial) should not cause us to discount the blessed hope of the change, and rising in the air to meet the Lord as if it were not going to really happen physically because we are not supposed to leave. One must embrace that glorious hope and leave...

There are two ways to interpret what Jesus said and the word "Taken". Jesus might have intended to be understood this way. "Just as those at the time of Noah were focused on seeking pleasure in this life with no attempt to repent at the preaching of Noah until they were destroyed by the flood...

We will be changed and our bodies will become immortal. We will rise and meet the Lord in the air in the clouds. That is for certain and the dead in Christ will rise first and then we who are alive at the time. That is the rapture. Timing is up for debate the event itself is not. Any attempt...

We will see. But if it is the saved that are taken these verses also apply. And then shall he send his angels, and gather together his elect from the four winds, from the extremity of the earth to the extremity of heaven. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with great...

Read the text itself before you attempt to use another text to interpret it. It is a parable answer to their question using something familiar to nature. Jesus describes bird circling to a meeting place in the sky not on the ground and you have no authority to change his description. There is...

The judgments poured out at the end are described in Revelation. It is not just one judgment that takes out all the wicked and leaves those who are ready behind. It is a series of judgments. Therefore those left behind are left to receive the out pouring of judgments while those taken are...

This passage of scripture (Romans 1:24-28) uses homosexual sin as the example (of all other types of sins) of a depraved mind. Therefore a Christian will agree with this scripture and think accordingly. A Christian will not allow the popular indoctrination of homosexuals in public schools to...

It is just hurt people hurting people. Hurt is inevitable. Avoiding relationships will reduce that risk. These are people trying to talk themselves into staying single by venting their reasons. It can't be fixed. Life is too short to read trashy stuff on the internet.

What is a soul tie? Do you mean that you tolerated the abuse for such a long time that you got familiar with it as a way of life. Now you are grieving over the loss of what you never had? You grieve that you lost "what could have been" or "what should have been" but you are grieving over the...

Luke 2 29“Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss d your servant in peace. 30For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 32a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.” Just because the...

As soon as alcohol begins to metabolize in your system it produces a very toxic by product called Acetaldehyde This is a very toxic substance. It can do all sorts of nasty things to your organs. When Acetaldehyde is combined with enzymes in the pancreas it can cause the pancreas to begin to...

Only Jews who believe in Jesus are part of the vine.

1 Peter 4: 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. Peter was calling himself and all believers 'Christians' when he wrote this, and intended it in...

Sometimes I give myself a trophy.

Another reason... People are bored.

Another thing I would add to this discussion is that the reason that there are so many debates on Bible Discussion boards is that it is the format people use for "Bible Questions." One of the most useful things about an online Bible Question Forum is to explore possible interpretations of a...

Sometimes we are making a case for the best hermeneutic in a spirit of love and desire to edify. If someone reacts hatefully to that it is best to drop the discussion. Sometimes we are going back and forth attempting to discover the best hermeneutic and though it looks like we are arguing we...

Lack of self control?

I think you are right. I think "Christianity is not a religion. It is a relationship." is a religious sacred cow to modern evangelical subculture.
