Thanks
Doug for taking a tough stand! “WE” are not making
the rules up as we go along!! No way, no how!!
Rather we are merely sharing Scripture.
If
someone wants to debate it, they can debate against
Scripture.
- Not
only the 5 “foolish virgins” get left behind as they
don’t live as the Bible instructs, so no time to “get
ready” in a millisecond of time when the Trumpet
sounds!
- Not
only are the Laodiceans VOMITED out of the Lord’s mouth
(certainly doesn’t mean they’re traveling UPWARDS to
heaven!!).
- Not
only the man who’d been called to the wedding and yet
got kicked out for not wearing his proper wedding
garment!!
- Not
only the story of how during the flood it came upon them
all of a sudden out of nowhere.
- Not
only Lot’s wife who did what she was told NOT to do.
But
the subject I’ve been looking into myself is how the left
behinders are told to WASH THEIR ROBES….. hmm…. Wouldn’t
this indicate they ALREADY have
their robes? [which means Christians] Just
that their robes weren’t clean?? They
were spotted! Wrinkled! Stained by the world!!
When
the church becomes like the world, the church is no longer
needed! And often times, you cannot spot real
Christians as they are so entrenched by worldly
things! Be it material possessions, entertainment,
and/or something illegal such as porn, etc. Drinking
parties! Crooked business dealings…. Et al.
Revelation
3:17-18 You say, “I am rich; I have grown wealthy
and need nothing.” But you do not realize that you
are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. I
counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that
you may become rich, white garments so that you may be
clothed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and
salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Ephesians
5:26-27 … to sanctify her, cleansing her by the
washing with water through the word, and to present her to
Himself as a glorious church, without stain or wrinkle or
any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
Following:
Though I do not agree with this writer about everything on
his site (I think it’s Americans’ God-given right to bear
arms to protect his family!! And this guy is dead
set against it, as well as a couple other subjects I’m
sure I don’t agree with!!) Just wanted to say that
before sending anyone to this site. Yet I do agree
with his perspective RE: this particular subject!

And
no, as most all Christians incorrectly teach, God is
NOT going to drag anyone up to heaven KICKING &
SCREAMING!!!
I
just seethe when I read that. If it’s not their will
to be there – then according to their faith!!
He
will come as a THIEF as promised, but NOT AS A
KIDNAPPER!!!! Amen!!
We’re
not perfect, none of us. We fail often. Fall down…
skin our knees…. But we pick ourselves back up,
REPENT quickly (foot washing) and get right back on that
narrow road!
Only
a few find it.
What
is pure religion? James 1:27 Pure and
undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is
this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress,
and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Psalm
101:3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I
hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling
to me.
It’s
true that – like a good analogy of the PRE-TRIB rapture is
why would a husband BEAT UP HIS FIANCE’ (putting her
through the Tribulation…. He won’t!!) But to go
along the same lines, He also doesn’t want a bride who’s
been playing around!!
Paul
speaking at Corinth: 2 Cor 11:2 I am jealous
for you with a godly jealousy. For I promised you to
one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to
Christ.
