We have met the enemy and they are us Evangelical Christians

Other than Satanic religion and hostile governments, the worst enemies of Bible believing Christians now seems to be other Bible believing Christians.

I would enjoy getting your reaction to “Pretrib Rapture Diehards” which I read on Google. Thank you very much. Lou
Hi Lou,
I am one of those diehards. I wrote an article on my website on the many proofs for for a pretrib rapture it can be found at
http://www.thepropheticyears.com/reasons/rapture.htm
I basically look at the rapture as a reward for the faithful. Even though that position is someone unorthodox among us pretrib rapture believers.
My view is that those in the Church that are truly born of the Spirit and ready when Jesus comes as a thief will go in the rapture.
Those in the Church who are actively grieving the Holy Spirit will lose this reward.
Those who identify with the church but are not ready because they have no oil in their lamps because they never received the Holy Spirit will not go.
All not taken in the rapture will go through most of the tribulation or be killed.
Just as the faithful in Israel will be protected during the great tribulation in the mountains and the unfaithful Jews will be killed.
So us pretrib diehards are correct and so are those who think Christians will go through the tribulation.
The problem in each camp is when they are so certain that everyone in the church will go or that everyone will not go.
For the rapture believers they need to understand the church is not completed until after the persecution of the tribulation.
For those who think that the church will go through the tribulation they need to see that scripture does teach this blessed hope for those who can be identified with Philadelphia and the over comers.
These will be kept out of the great trial that is coming to test all in the world.
I took a quick look at the “die hard” article. He first “poisons the well” by accusing pre-tib authors of sloppiness and dishonesty. I’d be most interested in seeing official rebuttals from Ice and Lindsay. I’d venture to say they’d chew this guy up and spit him out.
Then he ignores the real reason any of us believe in the pre-trib rapture: the Bible teaches it. Forget all the “he said she said”, the bottom line is what God said, and I clearly see pre-trib rapture in it.
Hi Teknomon
I think Lindsay and Ice have better things to do then argue with someone on my Blog.
I give plenty of good arguments for a pretribulation rapture in my own article and it has links to much more information.

You must be reading some other discussion that I am not because he said nothing on this Blog that accuses pre-trib authors of sloppiness and dishonesty.
He asked me a legitimate question and I gave him my view.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was referring to the guy who wrote the blog “anonymous” referred to, not anything on this blog. I just typed “pretrib rapture diehards” into google and clicked on the first link.
== Risen Christ is Antichrist ==
The Risen Chirst is the Antichirst, the first beast that had the fatal wound that had been healed.
Paul of Tarsus was his false prophet, the second beast who was servent to the first beast and extended its authority everywhere, making the world and all its people worship the first beast.
If you don’t believe me, read the Bible and no! you will not die if you eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods.

I was wondering how long it would take for the first certified nut case to show up on my Blog.
The Bible does not support anything you said. So I don’t know what you mean read the Bible–as if you find some truth in the Bible that true believers miss because they would not read the Bible?!
It is pretty arrogant and absurd to tell people to read the Bible when it is obvious that you have never read the Bible or at least understood the concepts within yourself.
The descendents from Adam and Eve that ate from the forbidden tree that gave the human race the ability to know good and evil, choose evil. The proof is they die in their sins and will continue to die in their sins until they choose good (Jesus).
If you do not believe that they died visit your local cemetery, or if you stay on your present path you will certainly find out when you inherit your eternal promised Lake.
Now, you might go back to being a troll on the forums or post something worthwhile or I will delete any further nonsense that you post on this Blog
