It shouldn’t come as a surprise that I believe the Scriptures support the concept of a Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the church. This is well documented by many theologians, and I have also taught on this topic numerous times.
I also believe in the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Each of these Persons make up the Trinity.
Why am I making these statements? Recently a few different people have friend requested me on Facebook, and I accepted their request. I guess they didn’t expect me to actually read their posts, but I did, and responded to one person who asked “anyone” to provide Scriptural evidence for the rapture and, and the Trinity. I gladly replied with Scriptural support for both. The next thing I know, I am being ridiculed as a fool being deceived by lies. They never refuted my position, they only restated their own understanding of Scripture, which contradicts other Scripture.
One thing my Facebook friends should know about me, I will share the good new of Jesus Christ without apology, and I will also share various Scriptures, including OT and NT prophecy. I don’t do this to encourage a debate, but to merely share my Biblical worldview with my Facebook friends, and here on my blog.
I don’t share Scripture with the desire to win everyone over to my eschatological views. I share Scripture to encourage believers in their faith, and to share with those who may not know what Scripture actually teaches. Either way, my end goal is to either introduce people to a relationship with Jesus, or to build them up and encourage them in their relationship with Him. That should be our end goal when sharing Scripture…not to be “right” about everything!
