Half the church is definately left behind as vividly illustrated in mat 24 and mat25.
The falling away I assumeI reject pre-trib rapture theory as false, but IF it were true: What would cause half of the spirit filled believers in Jesus Christ to be left behind?
7 days of waving palm branches in leviticus at the fall feasts instructions to moses.Forgive my ignorance here but what do the palm branches have to do with the rapture setting? I understand it is a ceremony but I don't see how it has to do with thre rapture and as for the martyrs well what martyrs is it talking about? Because doesn't revelation speak of them but in a future tense?
Paul classified believers as carnal vs mature.I reject pre-trib rapture theory as false, but IF it were true: What would cause half of the spirit filled believers in Jesus Christ to be left behind?
The falling away I assume
Ah I see now yeah that makes sense then7 days of waving palm branches in leviticus at the fall feasts instructions to moses.
7 yr trib points to the innumerable number being in heaven 7 yrs.
IOW 7 days can point to 7 yrs.
(7 is significant)
Well I am pretty sure there is only one meaning of church isn't there?It depends on Psalm1's definition of 'church'.
In the virgin parable the difference was wise vs foolish.The falling away I assume
AmenYou can argue all day about feasts, but that's beside the point of my post. At best, Robinson makes a series of confused speculative statements [could be, might be...]. At worst, he claims his speculations are the fulfillment of prophecy. That's not prophecy. It's just a guy making guesses and then covering his backside just in case it doesn't work out.
Us believers.It depends on Psalm1's definition of 'church'.
Paul classified believers as carnal vs mature.
Babes in christ vs mature...
In Matt 24 we see one believer taken, and one left behind.
That 50% dynamic is used by Jesus in mat 24 and mat 25....almost in the same breath,.... we see the "half taken" in 2 vivid descriptions.
The pretrib rapture was taught by Jesus.
All rapture verses have a pretrib setting.
The wedding feast is in heaven.
The 7 yr trib is called Jacob's trouble...or Israel's trouble.
Jesus himself gave us 2 pretrib escape verses.
Jesus gave us lot and Noah examples as pretrib gathering.
Yes and this is why I believe the falling away has already happened because you have many Christians by title only not by heart and you have many who are knowledgable of the scriptures but so were the pharisee's but few are knowledgable about the spirit.In the virgin parable the difference was wise vs foolish.
Also the wise virgins had extra oil.
The only difference in the foolish vs the wise virgins was the EXTRA OIL.
Those believers left behind do not see the need to go deeper and get on fire for Jesus.
Those left behinders have " other interests"
The extra oil is not in their hearts or minds.
IOW THEY got all the Jesus they need.
No need in their minds to soak in His presence and spend time with him.
To commune deeply with him.
Most every church has members radical and obsessed with Jesus and the Holy Ghost.
The others are just "there"
Christians in name only.
No burning heart. No hunger.
They are the carnal believers that Paul talked about. And they do get left behind because they are not the bride
Well I am pretty sure there is only one meaning of church isn't there?
This is SO FUNNY, lol!.....

God saved Noah and his family because they believed and followed Him. Same as today. God saves those who believe and follows His Son Jesus Christ. Where does Matt 24 specifically state true Christians are among those left?
Matt 24:38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
Well I assume it means the one with unbeliever as well right? or the fake Christians?Not quite. The universal church is made up of every true believer in Jesus Christ. The local church contains unbelievers among true believers. Both are still called or referred to as 'church'. That's why I asked for a definition.
No.Not quite. The universal church is made up of every true believer in Jesus Christ. The local church contains unbelievers among true believers. Both are still called or referred to as 'church'. That's why I asked for a definition.
