    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. This is not about brides and grooms, it's about husbands and wives - those already joined...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Audience and context! To what audience was the book of Hebrews written? Hint: it's a trick question... The Old Covenant was an everlasting covenant - Genesis 17:7 (NASB) I will establish My covenant between Me and you (Abram) and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Your reference to Eph 5:22 is about husbands and wives—already joined. If I let scripture speak, it also refers to Christ as head of his body, the church. Scriptures clearly refer to the church as the body of Christ. The ONLY clear reference to the Bride of Christ refers to Jerusalem -...

    Genesis 17:7 "I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you." Genesis 17:19 But God said, "No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    Many people quote Matthew and the other gospels unaware of a very significant issue—context. Jesus told the gentile woman that he was sent "only to the lost sheep of Israel" (Matt 15:24). Because of the exclusive covenant relationship between Israel and God, Jesus was obligated to minister to...

    Proof of Rapture before Tribulation

    I don't hear many, or anyone, talk about the purpose of the rapture. It we could identify its purpose we might find it easier to identify its timing and those it affects.

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    It seems that what we struggle with most—and resist doing—is the issue of serving. The very trait we are called to be. "Have this mind in you as was also in Christ Jesus... taking on the form or character of a servant.. Therefore God exalted Him." We are created to serve but tricked into...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    I think the goal of feminism, and of machoism as well, is the pursuit of real joy. Unfortunately, we too often choose the wrong path to take to achieve this. Jesus gave us a clue when he offered us his joy, that being, if you keep my commandments. I've put my research into finding joy in this...
