there is this man, Mark Alexander whom claimed that the rapture is on july 24th and he claims that lines like  Matthew 10 26 and John 16 13-15 can tell us when Jesus is going to return! Is he  and please take a look on page 33 where he says the line about no one being able to predict the return of Jesus is mistranslated! Is this man doing something very wrong and what do those lines he claimed that will allow us to know the date of Jesus return really mean-I thought noone is to know the date and also I thought that the rapturee was just invented in the early 1800s

The good news is if Jesus does return that day all debating about the rapture subject will suddenly cease.  I don't mind if He does.

[Dennis Vogel]

I don't mind if He does.

Me either.

Here's the truth:

That date is always impossible to know.  That's why so many are deceived every time any man (and there have been a few over the past two millennia and all of them were lying) stands up and says "God revealed this to me." 

Jesus very well could come back that day, and how would you know?  How are you going to dispute that?  It is impossible to know.  Do you know for certain that He isn't coming back that day, because I don't! 

The point is not the exact day or hour that Christ returns.  No, it is this: 

ARE YOU GOING TO BE READY WHEN HE DOES COME?  Because if you're not watching for His appearing, then you're going to have a battle on your hands. 

We will either have to do battle at... the unveiling of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful messengers, in flaming fire, dealing out vengeance to those who are not acquainted with God.

Or we can have "rest and ease" at His coming.

what about matthew 10 26 and John 16 13-15 where he says that the date is a mystery to be revealed just like the trinty and is it ok if i post this stuff to just show every one

[Gina]

Have you read the link that I sent you?  It will put your mind at ease.

[wigglytug]

i did but the thing is though the rapture means that Jesus comes back 3 times that alone makes it fake, however the thing that bothers me is that how people cling on to this idea

[Gina]

That's not a problem.  It's an opportunity for growth.

If I were in your shoes, I'd concentrate on this verse:

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (1 Pet. 5:7)

I would pray that God would open their eyes to the truth.

And I would stay away from books like that. 

[Gina]

And look on the bright side.  You could always continue studying and then you'll be prepared in the event anyone asked you a question on the subject!   You would be ready to give a reason for the hope that lies in you! That's fantastic.    That's something to rejoice in!

Proverbs 15:13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.

Good for you.  Yay

[Gabriel]

Joh 17:15  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 

[Fester]

July 24th. .... Cool.
I think I'll go and book all my vacation days just before then.
I may as well use them up!

That's a good month for me.

My wife is July 18
My daughter is July 10

And if I can't take them with me, I'm not gonna go.
