In what way do you believe Christ will return?

NOTICE: It is the same Jesus! He never had a beginning! John 1:1 God never had to create his voice (His Word). It was the "Word" that created everything.

He claims that this are not his thoughts or imaginations, but divine revelations. He does not believe in the bible but in his revelations. He has contact with another spirit. Every true Christian can discern that this is not the Spirit of God. Actually this thread reveals true and deceived Christians. They are not teachable, because they believe they are right and the bible is wrong. They worship their love-god and reject every criticism as unlovely. They do not except and believe in the God of Israel JHWH of the OT, they openly say that they have another God who is love. I have not much hope for them, because the day of the wrath of the Lamb is coming, where they will tremble and when they have committed iniquity what they call love, they will burn like chaff (Mat 3:12 and 13:30). Repentance and seeking the face of the LORD could save some, but this is up to the LORD, who gives true repentance as grace.

Why do you look outside yourself and to the future. It was to be in the future for the disciples and was fulfilled at Pentecost. It was never supposed to be our future. We have Christ with us. If you do not believe He abides with us and is the Living Word of God . . . you do not believe Christ or His Gospel.

What ever floats your boat honey!

I believe Acts 1:11

John 14 I am going to prepare a place for you & when I am done I will come get you; so that where I am ye may be also. (thank you Jesus for those words of truth).

there are some people that say the word rapture is not in the bible; They are wrong! If you can't find it - it is because you are looking in the wrong bible. Rapturo in the Latin bible - Harpazo in the greek new testament. To be forcibly snatched up.

I believe there are 7 raptures in the bible;

Enoch, Elijah, Jesus, Phillip, John, Paul, The bride of Christ

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be similar to the first in that all the feasts were fulfilled in the spring.
The last 3 fall feasts are set apart for His Second Coming when He sets up His Kingdom on Earth for 1000 years and rules from the Throne of David.

If Methuselah was the oldest man recorded in the bible; how is it possible he died before his father?

To be caught up in the "clouds" is to be carried to a "higher" place of understanding, even while we yet live.
