For those who put the Rapture and the Second Coming at roughly the same time (near the Second Coming, post-trib), I offer this list of contrasts between the Rapture and the Second Coming. Each number in one section corresponds to the same number in the other section. This is also a list that...

I have heard all these arguments before back in the 70s. I can tell you are not a well read bible student. You need to read scholarly works, not pop writers. Who are you reading regarding the Pre Trib Rapture? What you said about pre tribbers was partially true back in the late 70s. Most...

PAROUSIA is a reference to Jesus' presence among the believers at the meeting place in the air. If you read my OP you would have seen how the Rapture and the Second Coming have nothing in common. For example, at the Rapture Jesus comes FOR his own, while at the 2nd Coming he comes WITH his own...

If this is your response, you have no serious biblical training. I am looking for a different caliber of discussions. To make sure I don't accidentally bother you again, I Ignored you.

Would you mind giving me the names of 3 or 4 authors you use in your studies?

Please support your assertions by exegeting some of the passages you site. in other words, explain how 1 Thes 4:15-17 proves your point and disproves my point.

I really am not trying to be disrespectful, but your response to this is that of a freshman in Christ. I have never seen such a convoluted hodgepodge attempt at presenting one's theology. You have no concept of Dispensational theology. But more than all this, you show no signs of interacting...

The first resurrection is a series of resurrections per 1 Cor 15, each in their own order. Christ is the first one to be resurrected.

Maybe this will help you see what I am talking about. Try to reconcile this chart. It is self-explanatory. At the Rapture: 1. Christ comes FOR His own in the air 2. All believers are translated into new bodies 3. Christians are taken to the Father's House 4. There is no judgment on the earth...

Rev 20.6 and Titus 2.13 are not references to the Rapture.

Bear in mind that when Christ comes at the Rapture, he does not "appear" to the world. Hence your statement is correct. Chronologically speaking you have: 1 First Appearing (Predicted in OT) (Rapture) (Not predicted in OT) 2 Second Appearing (Predicted in OT)

Don't understand what you mean by that. So, applying your literal interpretation to Revelation, you will clearly understand that the mention of the “1000 year reign” was a reward for those faithful that were martyred during the great tribulation (they will reign “with Christ” for 1000 years”)...

Just so you know. We don't have different interpretations of these passages, we have a difference in Interpretation Methods. You are free to give any passage your own interpretation, but I am limited by the literal meaning of the words. For example, following the standards of normal grammar...

For those who put the Rapture and the Second Coming at roughly the same time, I offer this list of contrasts between the Rapture and the Second Coming. Each number in one section corresponds to the same number in the other section. This is also a list that supports the Rapture happening before...

Do you remember Oedipus of Greek legend? He was the son of Laius, king of Thebes. Here’s the story in a nutshell: An oracle had warned Laius that he was fated to be killed by his own son; he therefore abandoned Oedipus on a mountainside. The baby was rescued, however, by a shepherd and...
