DCLM, what we believe as posted by Wellmax

BIBLE DOCTRINES: ABRIDGED EDITION
Acts 2:42; I Timothy 4:16; Titus 1:9

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”. “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee”. “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.” (Jude 3; Romans 16:17; I Timothy 4:16)

God’s infallible WORD teaches and we believe:

THE HOLY BIBLE
That the Holy Bible, consisting of 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament, is the inspired Word of God. We take the Bible as final authority in all matters concerning Christian conduct and work.
(2 Timothy 3:16,17; Proverbs 30:5,6; Revelation 22:18,19.)

THE GODHEAD
That the Godhead consists of three separate, distinct, and recognisable personalities and qualities, perfectly united in one. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are different Persons in the Godhead, not merely three names for one Person.
(Matthew 3:16,17; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19,20.)

THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS
The virgin birth of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God as well as His crucifixion, death, burial and bodily resurrection.
(Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Romans 1:4; I Corinthians 15:3,4.)

TOTAL DEPRAVITY, SINFULNESS AND GUILT OF ALL MEN
The total depravity, sinfulness and guilt of all men since the Fall, rendering them subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
(Psalm 51:5; Job 14:4; Romans 3:23; 5:12-17; Mark 7:21-23; Ephesians 2:1.)

REPENTANCE
That Repentance is a complete turning away from all sins and its deceitful pleasures and that it is required from every sinner before he can truly and effectively believe in Jesus with saving faith.
(Proverbs 28:13; Isaiah 55:7; Ezekiel 18:21-23; Mark 1:15; Luke 24:46,47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:20,21; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Hebrews 6:1-3.)

RESTITUTION
That Restitution is making amends for wrongs done against our fellow-men, restoring stolen things to their rightful owners, paying debts, giving back where one has defrauded, making confessions to the offended and apologizing to those slandered so as to have a conscience void of offence toward God and man.
(Genesis 20:1-8,14-18; Exodus 22:1-7; Leviticus 6:1-7; Numbers 5:6-8; 2 Samuel 12:1-6; Proverbs 6:30,31; Ezekiel 33:14-16; Matthew 5:23,24; Luke 19:8,9; Acts 23:1-5; 24:16; James 4:17.)

JUSTIFICATION
That Justification is God’s grace through which one receives forgiveness and remission of sins and is counted righteous before God, through faith in the atoning blood of Jesus. Having thus been cleared of every guilt of sin, the regenerated stands before God as though he had never sinned, not on the basis of any personal merit but in the light of what Christ had accomplished for mankind by His substitutionary death on the cross at Calvary.
(Psalm 32:1,2; Isaiah 1:18; Micah 7:19; Acts 13:38.)

WATER BAPTISM
That water Baptism is essential to our obedience after reconciliation with God. Water Baptism is one immersion (not three) “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”, as Jesus commanded.
(Matthew 28:19; 3:13-17; Mark 16:15,16; Acts 2:38;8:38,39; 19:1-5; Romans 6:4,5.)

THE LORD’S SUPPER
That the Lord’s supper was instituted by Jesus Christ so that all believers (all members of the family of God) might partake thereof regularly, to “shew the Lord’s death till he come”. The emblems used are “unleavened bread” and the juice of “fruit of the vine”. Anyone who eats and drinks unworthily brings “damnation”, punishment and chastisement upon himself.
(Matthew 26:29; Luke 22:17-20; I Corinthians 11:23-30.)

ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION
That Entire Sanctification is a definite act of God’s grace, subsequent to the New Birth, by which the believer’s heart is purified and made holy. It cannot be attained progressively by works, struggle or suppression, but it is obtained by faith in the sanctifying blood of Jesus Christ. Holiness of life and purity of heart are central to Christian living.
(Luke 1:74,75; John 17:15-17; I Thessalonians 4:3,7,8; 5:22-24; Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrews 2:11; 10:10,14; 13:11,12; Titus 2:11-14; I John 1:7; Hebrews 12:14; I Peter 1:14-16.)

HOLY GHOST BAPTISM
That the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is the enduement of power from on High upon the sanctified believer. It is “the promise of the Father” and when one receives this “gift of the Holy Ghost”, it is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking a language unlearned previously, referred to as speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. We do not teach or instruct people how to speak in tongues: the Holy Spirit gives utterance. We also stress the necessity of purity before power. The Gifts of the Spirit are for believers today.
(Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:8; Luke 3:16; 24:49; John 1:30-33; 7:37-39; 14:16,17,26; 15:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:5-8; Mark 16:17; Acts 2:1-18; 10:44-46; Acts 19:1-6; I Corinthians 12:1-31; 14:1-40.)

REDEMPTION, HEALING AND HEALTH
That Redemption from the curse of the law, Healing of sickness and disease as well as continued Health are provided for all people through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.
(Exodus 15:26; Deuteronomy 7:15; Psalm 103:1-5; Proverbs 4:20-22; Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8:16,17; I Peter 2:24; Mark 16;15-18; Luke 13:16; John 14:12-14; 10:10; Acts 10:38; James 5:14-16; 3 John 2 Galatians 3:13,14.)

PERSONAL EVANGELISM
That Personal Evangelism is a God-given and God-ordained ministry for every believer. Jesus commanded and God requires every believer to be a compassionate and fruitful soulwinner, bringing others to Christ.
(Matthew 28:19,20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:46-49; John 17:18; Acts 1:8; 1-4; Psalm 126:5,6; Proverbs 11:30; Daniel 12:3; Ezekiel 3:17-21.)

MARRIAGE
That Marriage is binding for life. Monogamy is the uniform teaching of the Bible. Polygamy is contrary to God’s perfect will and institution. Also, under the New Testament dispensation, no one has a right to divorce and remarry while the first companion lives. When a person becomes converted, necessary restitution, on this line, must be done without delay if he has married wrongly.
(Genesis 2:24; Deuteronomy 7:1-4; Job 23:11-13; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Proverbs 31:10-31; Malachi 2:14,15; Romans 7:2,3; Ephesians 5:31-33; Matthew 5;31,32; 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18; John 4:15-19; Genesis 20:3-7.)

THE RAPTURE
That the Rapture (commonly referred to as the first phase or stage of the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST) is the catching away from the earth, of all living saints and all who died in the Lord. The Rapture will take place before the Great Tribulation and can happen any time from now. “In a twinkling of an eye” without a moment’s warning, “the trumpet shall sound” “and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
(John 14:1-3; Luke 21:34-36; I Corinthians 15:51-58; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:4-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:5-7; Philippians 3:11,20,21; I John 3:1-3.)

THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
That the Resurrection of the dead is taught in the Bible as clearly as the immortality of the soul. Every individual who has ever lived will be resurrected, some to honour and glory and others to everlasting shame and contempt.
(Job 19:25-27; Psalm 71:20; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; John 5:28,29; I Corinthians 15:12-57; I Thessalonians 4:13-16; Hebrews 6:1,2; Philippians 3:8-11; Revelation 20:4,6,12,13.)

THE GREAT TRIBULATION
That the Great Tribulation will occur after the Rapture and will be a time of terrible suffering on earth. It is also referred to as the time of “Jacob’s trouble”. During this time, the Antichrist will take possession of this world for a reign of terror. He will not be a system or organization but a person – a supernatural, diabolical being, in the form of a man who will blaspheme and proclaim himself to be God. The Marriage Supper of the Lamb will take place above while the Tribulation continues on earth.
(Matthew 24:21,22,29; Revelation 9:16; Mark 13:19; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12; Revelation 13. Daniel 8:23-25; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12; Revelation 13:1-10. Revelation 19:1-10.)

THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
That the Second Coming of Christ will be just as literal and visible as His going away, and He is coming to execute judgement upon the ungodly. He will also, then, set up His Kingdom and reign on this present earth for a thousand years.
(Zechariah 14:3,4; Matthew 25:31-46; 26:64; Mark 13:24-37; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; 2:8; Jude 14,15.)

CHRIST’S MILLENNIAL REIGN
That Christ’s Millennial Reign is the 1,000 years literal reign of Jesus on earth, which will be ushered in by the coming of Jesus back to earth with ten thousands of His saints. At this time He will judge the nations that dwell upon the face of the earth. During this time, the devil will be bound. It will be a reign of peace and blessing.
(Jude 14,15; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10. Revelation 20:2,3. Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25; Hosea 2:18; Zechariah 14:9-20; Isaiah 2:2-4.)

THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT
That the Great White Throne Judgement is when God finally judges all (the living and the dead, small and great) who have ever lived on the face of the earth, according to their works. This is after the Millennium. At this time, the final Judgement known as the Great White Throne Judgement will be held. All those, from all ages, who have not yet been judged (believers’ judgement for sin, borne and accomplished by Christ on the Cross will stand before God at this time. The devil and his angels are judged at this time also and sent to the lake of fire forever.
(John 5:24; 3:17-19. Daniel 12:2,3; Matthew 10:15; 11:21-24,12:41,42; John 5:28,29; Romans 2:15,16; 14:12; 2 Peter 2:9; Jude 6; I Corinthians 6:1-4; Acts 10:42; Revelation 20:11-15.)

THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH
That the New Heaven and the New Earth “wherein dwelleth righteousness” will be made by God and the redeemed shall dwell therein with God forever. This present earth which has been polluted by sin will pass away after the Great White Throne Judgement. No unclean thing will be there. There, we shall know each other, our knowledge having been perfected. There will be no more curse upon anything. There will be no more night; the glory of the Lord will be the light thereof.
(Psalm 102:25,26; Isaiah 51:6; 65:17; Matthew 5:18; 24:35; 2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 21:1- Isaiah 66:22; 2 Peter 3:12,13; I Corinthians 13:12; I John 3:2,3; Revelation 21:1-7; 22:1-5.)

HELL
That Hell fire is a place of everlasting punishment where sinners (all who do not have their names in the book of life) will suffer torments for ever and ever. It was prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41) but God has decreed that the wicked and those who forget Him and reject Christ will also be cast there because of their sin and neglect of His salvation.
(Psalm 9:17; Matthew 25:46; Luke 12:4,5; 16:19-31; Matthew 5:22,30; Mark 9:43-47; Revelation 14:10,11; 20:10,12,15.)

BIBLE DOCTRINES: ABRIDGED EDITION

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”. “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee”. “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.” (Jude 3; Romans 16:17; I Timothy 4:16)

(2 Timothy 3:16,17; Proverbs 30:5,6; Revelation 22:18,19.)
1. Jesus Christ, God's own New Covenant, never taught that scripture was infallible, neither did He teach that the Bible is the final authority in all matters concerning Christian conduct and work. Instead, Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the Truth, and the Life.....". Jesus Christ said that He, God's Law is the very Word out of God's mouth and it is by Him we are meant to live by. undecided

The Words of Jesus Christ are as written in the Gospels - those are the teachings and commandments of God's Law by which we are called to live by - Matthew 4 vs 4 undecided

Your Bible is instead a book that contains the words of men, demons, Satan Himself and yes, the Word of God , all of it inspired by God since He is the one to whom all knowledge belongs. undecided

Refute the bible, first show us where Jesus Christ or even God taught you to follow the Bible. undecided

The first formulations of the doctrine of inerrancy had not been established according to the authority of a council, creed, or church, until the post-Reformation period.[20] Origen of Alexandria thought there were minor discrepancies between the accounts of the Gospels but dismissed them due to their lack of theological importance, writing "let these four [Gospels] agree with each other concerning certain things revealed to them by the Spirit and let them disagree a little concerning other things" (Commentary on John 10.4). Later, John Chrysostom was also unconcerned with the notion that the scriptures were in congruence with all matters of history unimportant to matters of faith.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_inerrancy
It is by the doctrines and traditions of men that you have been made to believe your Bible an infallible book when God never said so , nor did Jesus Christ teaxh such things. undecided

THE GODHEAD
That the Godhead consists of three separate, distinct, and recognisable personalities and qualities, perfectly united in one. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are different Persons in the Godhead, not merely three names for one Person.
(Matthew 3:16,17; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19,20.)
If this is another way of saying you believe in "Trinity", well that is also of the doctrines and traditions of men ....
While the developed doctrine of the Trinity is not explicit in the books that constitute the New Testament, it was first formulated as early Christians attempted to understand the relationship between Jesus and God in their scriptural documents and prior traditions.[8]

An early Trinitarian formula appears towards the end of the first century, where Clement of Rome rhetorically asks in his epistle as to why corruption exists among some in the Christian community; "Do we not have one God, and one Christ, and one gracious Spirit that has been poured out upon us, and one calling in Christ?" (1 Clement 46:6).[46] Around the turn of the first century, the Didache directs Christians to "baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."[47] Ignatius of Antioch provides early support for the Trinity around 110, exhorting obedience to "Christ, and to the Father, and to the Spirit".[48]
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity
Jesus Christ taught His followers a doctrine that differs entirely from that claimed in the Trinity doctrines of men. undecided

As written in Scripture, Jesus Christ is God, but nowhere in Scripture are we informed that God is Jesus Christ though. There is a reason for this and Jesus Christ Himself explained it to His followers. undecided


In Scripture we learn of God the following
▪︎ God is God of Wrath
▪︎ God is God of Laws
▪︎ God is Good/Righteous
▪︎ God is Faithful
▪︎ God is Love
▪︎ God is True
▪︎ God is Life
.....
And of Jesus Christ, we are informed by Him that He is
▪︎ God's Truth
▪︎ God's Life
▪︎ God's Law (one of many) aka The Way

So, as Jesus Christ explained, He is made from some some the same essence that is God hence He indeed is God. However, since Jesus Christ doesn't have all of the essence of God, God isn't Jesus Christ. undecided

So, when Jesus Christ, for example, stated, :...There is none good, no not one", He said so in reference to the fact that even He did not embody God's goodness, through He was in God and God in Him. undecided

OF ALL MEN
The total depravity, sinfulness and guilt of all men since the Fall, rendering them subject to God’s wrath and condemnation.
(Psalm 51:5; Job 14:4; Romans 3:23; 5:12-17; Mark 7:21-23; Ephesians 2:1.)
The doctrine and tradition of total depravity was also concocted by men and is not of God nor Jesus Christ. God's Law instead teachings that every man is capable of obeying God's commandments and statutes. undecided
Total depravity (also called radical corruption or pervasive depravity)[1] is a Christian theological doctrine derived from the concept of original sin. It teaches that, as a consequence of man's fall, every person born into the world is enslaved to the service of sin as a result of their fallen nature and, apart from the efficacious (irresistible) or prevenient (enabling) grace of God, is completely unable to choose by themselves to follow God, refrain from evil, or accept the gift of salvation as it is offered.

The doctrine is advocated to various degrees by many Protestant denominations, including some Lutheran synods,[2][3] and all Calvinist churches.[4][5][6][7] Arminian denominations, such as Methodists, believe and teach total depravity, but with distinct differences,[8][9] the most important of which is the distinction between irresistible grace and prevenient grace.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_depravity#:~:text=The%20doctrine%20of%20total%20depravity,desires%20and%20reject%20his%20rule.

These are all doctrines and traditions formulated in the minds of men, and not taught by Jesus Christ who sent us out to teach only that which He has taught to us. These doctrines deceive people away from following the Truth of God. undecided

I posted bible doctrines that mould the belief of the church I attend, and all you could do is to quote philosophy and Wikipedia to denounce them.

2. No mention of any scriptures (Aside Mt 4:4), no comparing scripting with scriptures, no exposition of the word precept upon precept, line upon lines, just noise and balderdash.

3. I was even looking for an opportunity to learn a thing or two, but no, you just want to throw fasle teaching with no basis to my face.

4. I am not a baby, i know the Word, no philosophy of man, false teaching can sway me.
Junkie I pray you find peace, that is what you lack, it is more important now than even knowledge.
1. None of what you posted are of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ. That is why I had to show you, usng Wikipedia, the source of those doctrines which your church is founded on. undecided

2. God's New Covenant Law which we are called to live by and obey are found written of in the Gospels. Anything that does not align with the teachings found there are not of Him. undecided

3. It is hard to learn anything when your mind is set on what it wants to believe and the standard it holds to is not even that standard set by God Himself, Jesus Christ, God's New Covenant Law. undecided

4. Even the Pharisees were steeped in their own delusions- their doctrines and traditions - that the very Truth of God Himself could not sway them from all the lies they were drunk on, pretending they followed God better than even Jesus Christ did. undecided

Jesus Christ said ,"And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 18 vs 3." . No one whose mind is closed up can enter into God's Kingdom. undecided

Jesus Christ did not teach restitution since it is of the Old Covenant Law and those is seen from all the references, in bold, above which are Old Covenant references. undecided

Instead what Jesus Christ taught was that those who belong to Him sell everything they have in order to buy Heaven - Treasure and Pearl - Matthew 13 vs 44 - 46 undecided

Jesus Christ never taught any of the above and this made apparent in the fact the scriptural references for the claims made are not even taken from Jesus Christ's own teachings and commandments which can be found in the Gospels . undecided

Righteousness or justification as taught by Jesus Christ is that of works as detailed in John 8, 14 and 15 - continual submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ is a requirement for those who will be made free of sin, become sins of God and bear fruits aka righteousness. undecided

Also Matthew 25 provides teachings on that expected of those who will enter info the Kingdom of God. According to Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46, only those whose works are judged worthy will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. All others are bound for the other side - eternal damnation. undecided

WATER BAPTISM
That water Baptism is essential to our obedience after reconciliation with God. Water Baptism is one immersion (not three) “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost”, as Jesus commanded.

Jesus Christ did not restrict Baptisms to immersion neither did He instruct that Baptisms can only be done by immersions. undecided

Even God, who in Ezekiel 36 vs 25 - 27 proclaimed that He will pour pure water over us, did not placed such a restriction on Baptism. undecided

Jesus Christ, God's New Covenant Law in the Kingdom of God, included the ritual popularly referred to as the Lord's supper, but He never taught us that only those without sin could partake in this ritual dinner. Instead, He said we should partake of this in remembrance of Him. undecided

ENTIRE SANCTIFICATION
That Entire Sanctification is a definite act of God’s grace, subsequent to the New Birth, by which the believer’s heart is purified and made holy. It cannot be attained progressively by works, struggle or suppression, but it is obtained by faith in the sanctifying blood of Jesus Christ. Holiness of life and purity of heart are central to Christian living.
(Luke 1:74,75; John 17:15-17; I Thessalonians 4:3,7,8; 5:22-24; Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrews 2:11; 10:10,14; 13:11,12; Titus 2:11-14; I John 1:7; Hebrews 12:14; I Peter 1:14-16.)
This doctrine is also not based on God's Truth since Jesus Christ made it more than clear that only those who continually submit and obey His teachings(and commandments) aka progressively works of obedience, will come to know the Truth and be set free from slavery to sin by the Truth - John 8 vs 31 - 35 to become Sons of God, perfect/Holy vessels worthy of God's own Spirit- John 14 vs 15 - 25 - able to accomplish all the works that Jesus Christ Himself did and much more - John 15 vs 7 - 11 . undecided

Without doing works of obedience it is all but impossible to honor God and and works are to be done in submission to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's own Truth. undecided

HOLY GHOST BAPTISM
That the Baptism in the Holy Ghost is the enduement of power from on High upon the sanctified believer. It is “the promise of the Father” and when one receives this “gift of the Holy Ghost”, it is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking a language unlearned previously, referred to as speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. We do not teach or instruct people how to speak in tongues: the Holy Spirit gives utterance. We also stress the necessity of purity before power. The Gifts of the Spirit are for believers today.
(Matthew 3:11; Acts 1:8; Luke 3:16; 24:49; John 1:30-33; 7:37-39; 14:16,17,26; 15:26; 16:12-15; Acts 1:5-8; Mark 16:17; Acts 2:1-18; 10:44-46; Acts 19:1-6; I Corinthians 12:1-31; 14:1-40.)
There is no correlation with any of what Jesus Christ taught His followers and what is written in bold. Jesus Christ instead taught His followers that signs such as Speaking in an unlearned language is meant to follower those who believe in Him. undecided

As for the the claims made of purity, I am not certain where that comes from as Jesus Christ taught His followers that it is by knowing the Truth- through continuous submission and obedience of the teachings(and commandments) of Jesus Christ- that they can be set free from slavery to sin, to be transformed into Sons of God, Holy/Perfect vessels - John 8 vs 31 - 35 - worthy of the Spirit of God to dwell on the inside of - John 14 vs 15 - 25 undecided

MARRIAGE
That Marriage is binding for life. Monogamy is the uniform teaching of the Bible. Polygamy is contrary to God’s perfect will and institution. Also, under the New Testament dispensation, no one has a right to divorce and remarry while the first companion lives. When a person becomes converted, necessary restitution, on this line, must be done without delay if he has married wrongly.
(Genesis 2:24; Deuteronomy 7:1-4; Job 23:11-13; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Proverbs 31:10-31; Malachi 2:14,15; Romans 7:2,3; Ephesians 5:31-33; Matthew 5;31,32; 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18; John 4:15-19; Genesis 20:3-7.)
Every single statement above is in direct conflict with the Truth of God as revealed through Jesus Christ. undecided

▪︎ Marriage is not binding for life as divorce is allowed by God
▪︎ Polygamy is in no way contrary to God’s decree
▪︎ The New Covenant allows for divorce, and also remarriage under strict conditions.
▪︎ God requires no restitution on marriage...

THE RAPTURE
■ That the Rapture (commonly referred to as the first phase or stage of the SECOND COMING OF CHRIST) is the catching away from the earth, of all living saints and all who died in the Lord.
■ The Rapture will take place before the Great Tribulation and can happen any time from now. “In a twinkling of an eye” without a moment’s warning, “the trumpet shall sound” “and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
(John 14:1-3; Luke 21:34-36; I Corinthians 15:51-58; I Thessalonians 4:13-18; 5:4-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:5-7; Philippians 3:11,20,21; I John 3:1-3.)
1. According to scripture, the "catching away" takes place after the resurrection of the dead and what is described in the revelation of John as the millennial reign. undecided

2. Wrong! The great Tribulation as described by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24 vs 1 - 29 took place almost 1900 years ago. The return of Jesus Christ is what we are waiting to see take place though. undecided

THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
○That the Resurrection of the dead is taught in the Bible as clearly as the immortality of the soul. Every individual who has ever lived will be resurrected, some to honour and glory and others to everlasting shame and contempt.
○ (Job 19:25-27; Psalm 71:20; Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; John 5:28,29; I Corinthians 15:12-57; I Thessalonians 4:13-16; Hebrews 6:1,2; Philippians 3:8-11; Revelation 20:4,6,12,13.)
1. Again, another lie! This claim is not in consonance with Scripture which instead insists that those who perished in their grave will not be raised up from the dead since they perished aka cease to exist(mind, body, and soul) in the grave. Only those whose names are found written in the Book of Life(Eternal/After Life).... those who have eternal life... will be raised at the time of the resurrection. undecided

2. None of the scriptures indicated say any of what is claimed in bold. undecided
