Good stuff! Amen! We ALL should be willing to asume nothing and go back to scripture and derive our beliefs from what we see there. Sadly, most Christians come to scripture with their pre-determined belief system and cherry-pick “proof texts” as needed to back up what they have been told. Wanna have some real fun? Go through the average Baptist church and ask the average church member where the pre-trib rapture is taught, then watch their faces crumble if they can get you to a couple of “proof texts” and much to their chagrin realize for the first time in their lives that they “prove” nothing! Funny stuff! Anyway man, good stuff… stated plainly and with decorum!
Thanks for the comment Tony! I hope things are going well for you guys. I assume that your comment was meant for the post above this one (Donny’s post on the most dangerous thing for a Christian), but your point is well taken! btw the pretrib rapture is PLAINLY taught in Hezekiah 3:5 and Jude 2:17.
