I dont take a strong issue with anyone who has a different viewpoint than mine about end times.
Yes, I feel strongly about pre-tribulation viewpoint and after studying about all 4 viewpoints; its the one that makes sense to me. If there are those who choose to think otherwise, so be it. It is not a SALVATION issue and therfore takes a back seat to what is at hand.
The most important thing for us to do is to be loving and courteous to one another in these end times. It is important for us to spread Gods word according to the KJV versions. I say this because if we study on the versions,its obvious that newer versions are designed to confuse and promote doubt.
God has commanded us to speak out and not be ashamed of his sons name JESUS. If we care about our neighbor we will tell them gently and in love but in bold truth that Jesus will return soon. Besides that fact, we dont know when our neighbor will draw their last breath so we must take every opportunity to tell everyone about Jesus Christ. They must be reborn in Jesus Christ, John 3:16. in order to escape the pit of hell. Get some gospel tracts and hand them out.
Let us keep studying Gods word and make it our first priority in being the salt and light! :purpleangel:
Again, I dont have a STRONG issue with different end time views.
May God give us all the strength to abide in the faith. Amen
That's an excellent attitude to have! Don't ever give up searching and standing up for the truth though! Even when there is disagreement, it's possible to remain loving and try to persuade people to the truth.
2 Timothy
24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
We must at least have the right attitude and it's glad to see someone with it. This site has a pretty lame history of people who definitely do not have your attitude. A true believer in Christ can lack knowledge, but if they lack Christian character, then there is a problem.
Corinthians 13
2And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor , and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
4Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 6rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 7beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. 12For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. 13But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
