Well, let's just look at it from a math standpoint. One group preaches and teaches a pre-ttrib rapture. Another group preaches and teaches a mid or post trib rapture. Another group preaches and teaches no rapture whatsoever. At the very best here we must conclude that 2 out of 3 of these groups are preaching and teaching a false doctrine. That's a whole lot of folks preaching and teaching who would be better served just to keep their collective mouths shut.

True 'dat. The further we get from a statement of the New Commandment, the more it behooves us to seriously consider whether what we are saying has any bearing on how we live, and doctrines like those are over-priced at a dime a dozen.

Why then since basically only one book is used to teach so many are so many taught totally different things?

A sinner who has never been brought up in a church is surely at a disadvantage. He turns on his television and here is a preacher teaching that he is hell bound for his sins. He turns the channel and here is a preacher teaching all are saved and there is no hell awaiting him. He later turns the channel and here is a preacher teaching that the church will be zapped away in a pre-trib rapture to safety while he will suffer unimaginable horrors and everlasting punishment. He turns the channel again and he finds another preacher preaching that there will be no rapture at all of the church or anyone else. He turns the channel yet again and here's a preacher speaking in some kind of gibberish tongue. He throws up his hands and declares that all those who spent their time and money in all the different Bible colleges should get an immediate refund.


What you are describing is simply reflective of the end times being here... TV and the Internet have not been around very long-and those false teachers haven't had access to millions of people at the click of a button). The fact is, just a few years ago-before all of this technology came about, a person couldn't simply change the channel and hear a different doctrine, or get on the internet and look up a half billion different 'Christian' sermons and teachings... These things are part of the end times deception from Satan that the Bible warned would come at the end. It is sad that it is happening, but it is evidence that the Bible is in fact true-and things are coming to pass just the way Jesus and Paul said they would...

People need to get away from all of these false teachers and go humbly ask God to teach them and lead them into the truth of Scripture via the Holy Spirit. That is the only way they will know the truth, and not be swept away by false teachers and the false 'Christianity' that has spread across America. People need to get away from the American 'Church' system-it has been taken over by Satan and his 'ministers of unrighteousness'.

2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.



America's churches (and ministries)are infiltrated with these 'ministers of unrighteousness' and they are teaching false doctrines of salvation and false gospels of being born again. That is why the vast majority of people in America's 'churches' are not converted people-and why they do not follow Jesus Christ with their hearts, only with their mouths. It is time for people to WAKE UP, quit playing 'churchianity' and do true repentance...

Isa 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

I blame God. One would think he would have put an end to all of the confusion by now.

As much as I hate to admit it, I think you are right.
