Harpazo vs Rapture - Part 1

Image
Harpazo is different from rapture. Rapture is based on the notion that Christ comes with dead ones, picks up believers and makes a u turn and flies back up to heaven with unbelievers left behind.  It's helpful to consider Paul's word for "meeting" in this passage. It is the Greek word apantesis, which typically described the formal welcoming of a dignitary into a city. In other Greek literature, it was a term that described a great delegation that would travel to the outskirts of the city gates and beyond to receive the conquering king as he returned to the land." The Rapture counts for absurd eschatology.... And if you believe in the rapture guess who is taken? Not the righteous as you were taught but the wicked. Notice the disciples are asking "Where they were taken"... notice Christ's answer "wherever the dead bodies are for the vultures to consume" Luk 17:34 — Luk 17:37 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the o...

Is Everything According to Gods Plan? Sovereign Will Part 1

Image
Questions: Why do we pray for God's will to be done if it is always done? What am I missing? Did he not know about it after all since the beginning? So if we deliberately don't do God's will, do we say, well he knew from the beginning that this will happen anyway? Why not? It's part of His Plan! There are many times God's will is not done. God's will, is and will always be done. Both statements are true? Do you agree or not? Answers: "Sovereign Will vs Permissive Will. God will permit us to do whatever we like, but eventually His Sovereign Will will be completed. Perfectly. No matter how well we play the game of Cosmic Chess against the Master of the Universe, He will win." - Andre van der Sandt "God's will is not done because man is flawed. Man makes wrong decisions sometimes when he uses his gift of free will. In which there is a lesson he will learn that will ultimately become God's will." - Ricky Diggs "His sovereign...

Why Doesn't God Save Everyone?

Image
My response to Adam Ford's "Why doesn't God save everyone?" : Yes all men are sinners. Yes all men deserved judgment. What was that Judgment? It was Death... not Hell. The bible says the wages of sin was death. This comic does not understand biblically what hell is. Which hell to begin with? Hades? Sheol? That is the grave. Gehenna? That was the Valley of Hinnom and where Jerusalem was burned with fire in AD 70. Tartaroo? That was a Greek concept Peter referred to. If you want to talk about the Lake of Fire then so be it. The Lake of Fire is not "hell" biblically, as Hades/ Hell is cast into the Lake of fire. So if you want to be biblical use the term Lake of Fire instead. So yes since God is omniscient He knew who at the end would go to the Lake of Fire and who would not... But.... let's go to the end of the book. Inexplicably we find those cast into the Lake of Fire are found Outside the City ON THE NEW EARTH. What????? I thought they were bei...
