Pet Care After the Rapture

Suppose you go in the Rapture . . . What happens to Fido after you are gone?  Cats can take care of themselves.  But what about dogs?  Well, here's a group of avowed UK atheists who know they won't go in the Rapture.  So, for a small fee, they'll feed your pets after you are gone.  Click here: Post Rapture Pet Care :: Care for your pets after your gone

You know you are a heretic when the Episcopal Church vetoes your nomination to bishop.  This guy's offense was re-writing the liturgy to include Buddhist, New Age, and Unitarian elements.  Apparently, Spong and rest made it in by not admitting the extent of their heresy until after being elected bishop.  Click here: Too Unorthodox Even for the Episcopal Church? | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction

Bishop T. D. Jakes recently had a serious problem with gas.  No, not that kind of gas!  That would be TMI.  I mean the kind of gas which can blow up your house. Click here: Natural Gas Explosion at Megachurch Pastor's Home - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews

Ever wonder where sideburns and soul patches came from?  How about the nine coolest beards proudly worn by Civil War generals--a great source of grooming inspiration for theonomists as well.  Click here: Top 9 Civil War Generals Who Rocked Their Beards : I Think Real Men Grow Beards Personal Stories & Experiences.

Robert,
The elect is never applied to Israel and never to the lost- who else could it be. In the dispensational view this term couldn't be applied to the church because they have been raptured away. According to the Dispensational view those after the rapture are NOT the church because they do not rely on Christ sacrifice to save them- they must earn thier salvation by being faithful to the end. I grew up with all this stuff so I am pretty savy on the terminology. So show me a place were eklasia is not the church-those ransomed by the sacrifical, substitutionary atonement. It is not there.

Mr. Rob,

Some things to consider:

1. There are many "antichrists" NOW per 1 John 2:18:

Children, it IS THE last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now MANY antichrists HAVE come. Therefore we know that it IS the last hour."

Take this verse LITERALLY and at face value.

Meanwhile...yes...no problem observing the Vespasian holocaust of 70 AD after Jesus' work as God the Father "divorces" national Israel (recall, the curtain was torn, top-down in the temple the day of our Lord's passion?)

Jesus' prophecy in Matthew 24 coincides nicely, btw.

Please note: "prophetic language" can have double meanings and multiple applications within one declaration. EX: "antichrist" denotes a group AND a specific character. Another easy example are the references to the "day of the Lord" applying to First & Second Advents.

2. 1Thess 4 when read responsibly, communicates NO gaps in the events happening. It's that simple.

Would anybody read a book or newspaper by cutting up passages or inserting parts from other paragraphs into one another?

Why do people do tit when reading God's Word?

I pray that God's Word prevails and we all study it carefully with reverence and awe.

Selah

Hal Lindsey's Pretrib Rapture "Proof"

Is Hal Lindsey's proof for a pretrib rapture "100 proof" - that is, 100 percent Biblical?
In "The Late Great Planet Earth" (p. 143) Lindsey gives his "chief reason" for pretrib: "If the Rapture took place at the same time as the second coming, there would be no mortals left who would be believers" - that is, no believers still alive who could enter the millennium and repopulate the earth.
We don't know if Lindsey's amnesia is voluntary or involuntary, but earlier (p. 54), while focusing on chapters 12 through 14 of Zechariah, Lindsey sees "a remnant of Jews in Jerusalem" who are mortals who will become believing mortals at the second coming and then become repopulating mortals!
During the same discussion of Zech. 12-14 Lindsey overlooks some of the final verses in Zech. 14. They reveal that some of the tribulation survivors "of all the nations which came against Jerusalem" will refuse to go there "to worship the King, the Lord of hosts." Here's what will happen to those "heathen" rebels: "upon them shall be no rain."
So the facts about the repopulating mortals, in unbelieving as well as believing ranks, cancel out Lindsey's "chief reason" for opposing a joint rapture/second coming - the ONLY rapture view to be found in official theology books and organized churches prior to 1830!
(See historian Dave MacPherson's "The Rapture Plot," the most accurate and most highly endorsed book on pretrib rapture history - available by calling 800.643.4645. Also Google "Pretrib Rapture Stealth," "Pretrib Rapture Pride," "Pretrib Rapture Secrecy," "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty" and "Evangelicals Use Occult Deception.")
Although Hal Lindsey claims that his "Late Great" didn't set a date for Christ's return, many of his followers - including copycats Bill Maupin ("1981") and Edgar Whisenant ("1988") - did view Lindsey as a date-setter, and his later book "The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon" (the sort of title that date-setters and their ga-ga groupies love) became another fizzle - unless we're still living in the 1980s!
In Old Testament days false prophets were stoned to death. Today they're just stoned!
