John received it from Paul, in Acts 15.
Pay attention..
I previously posted this...for you.
@David in NJ
Paul's "Gospel of the Grace of God" Paul explained as "MY Gospel" 3x in the NT...........Paul said "I received it of NO MAN.. but by Revelation from Jesus Christ, Himself...
The Lord Jesus Christ wants you and
@marks to believe His words and the words of the Apostles.
It is SIN if you change what They have written for us to believe.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand),
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Why do you guys reject the words of Christ and the Apostles??
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive
and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive
and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words
@marks - How can there be a pre-trib rapture since:
a.) God never said there will be one
b.) Christ specifically and irrevocably said His Second Coming is AFTER the AoD and the Tribulation
c.) the OT Prophets said the Abomination of Desolation precedes the Coming of Christ and the Resurrection
d.) the Apostles said the Antichrist comes BEFORE the Second Coming of Christ
e.) the Apostles said the Resurrection precedes the Rapture
Who is lying and causing division???
