If the main apostles of Christ who were fervent and strong with the holy ghost and power could go through much tribulation, Why do you think today Christians will escape the test of God by rapture, with their watered down Christianity?

Also the parable of the ten virgins, when the bridegroom came, was their room for any other salvation after the door was shut?

Well, we have to follow what Jesus said, not what the world says;

Matthew 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
You are confusing Christian persecution from tribulation. Persecution has always been there and it's individual bases but tribulation is for a definite period which have not began.
Now understand the difference and something here. For the rapture Jesus comes and we meet Him in the cloud according to 1 Thess 4:15-17
But the scripture you shared in Math 24 Jesus will come down to the earth and the whole world will see him. For the rapture nobody is seeing Him and we will meet him there in the cloud.
Understand something Math 24 Jesus speaks about the rapture, great tribulation and the end of the world.
In verse 3 they ask Jesus some questions which He began answering through out that chapter.
The scripture below is what we happen after the tribulation
Daniel 12:1-2 (KJV) And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

But atiku should just return to dubia or Cameroon where he belongs


Kiss it.
Obi may never rule this country. Obi will not win even if he is on the ballot.
So keep your Tinubu for yourself.
And if Obi decides not to run or vice Atiku then support Tinubu. But I guarantee you Obi cannot win Tinubu.

He didn't break the statue only, he shows the intentions of Jews towards Jesus

He could have removed the statue with love and respect.



Maybe the statue attacked the IDF soldier first, he acted in self defense
From your heart not our heart. Be forming Christian that you aren't.
We Christian love the Jews because God chose them.

1. How can people who missed the rapture be called saints?? That means tribulations saints (if anything like that is real) will pay with their own blood, can human blood save human beings?

2. What's the difference between Rapture and Second coming? What is the similarity?

3. Even if you think Rapture happens before Tribulation, do you think God will not test human beings yet, so that the repetition of the garden of Eden won't happen in heaven again?

4. Tribulation means suffering, do you think there is a different between Satan persecution of Gods people and Gods wrath?

5. Who is one who is letting, and will Let , according to 2 Thess 2?
Let me answer your first question. Before the death of Christ people lived before and they are those who will make even. Now Jesus Christ went through suffering for the salvation of men that you don't have to do anything or sacrifice to be saved. By believing and accepting Him you will be saved. Now at that time of the great tribulation no man will be able to take is own life. Except you were killed by the anti christ that is how anybody can die. That is why every body will pay for their own salvation through suffering. They will persecute everyone who will not receive the mark until many will not be able to bear the pain and suffering. Some will take it and some will not.
Those who will be persecuted at that time to receive the mark of the beast are the Saints of those times. Many will be killed at that time, many will also accept the beast mark due to suffering and they will be doomed. If Jesus comes today they are Christians due to sin that won't make the rapture. Those once will become the Saints of those times because they will realised that they only have one chance now which is to go through the suffering and reject the mark. Some people will realised that Christians have departed the world and they will believe too. They will equally avoid to take it.
The difference between the rapture and the second coming.
Rapture will happen before the second coming. Now in rapture we we will meet Jesus in the air or cloud.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 (KJV) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: 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.

The second coming of Jesus Christ He comes physically to the earth to rule the earth for a thousand years. He comes along with the raptured Saints to rule the earth.
Your number 3 question. God does not test man. There is no need for that because of we shall be operating with a divine being and we shall be like God. There is no room for temptation there because Satan will already been put into the bottomless pit. Satan is the one that tempt so he won't have such room any more.
4.
God's wroth is God's judgement and it's not for Christians.
5.
According to that passage it was describing the church, Christians. Until the church is taken, raptured Satan or the anti christ will not manifest.
We are the one preventing that for happening.

Excuse me sir, are you expecting a worldwide broadcast announcing the commencement of the great tribulation? grin grin grin grin grin grin If you don't know the official launch date of the great tribulation, how can you tell it is in progress and how can you know its end?

Christians have gone through series of massacre and persecutions starting with the Roman empire, to the conquests of christian lands like Turkey by Islam, through the Dark ages, down to ISIS and Boko Haram. The rapid rise and expansion of Islam and the suppression of Christianity. The frolicking of the Pope with other religions to unify them. The proliferation of churches with false doctrine and false prophets. We have gone through World war 1, 2 and currently the rumours of World War 3.

With all these happenings, can you say for certainty we are, or are not in the great tribulation? Go and study your bible and stop relying on hearsay or motivational speakers. The explanation of Jesus Christ was very clear and straightforward....
It's even strange for you to think that we are in the great tribulation. That means you lack understanding of the prophetic. You believe in hearsay like you earlier said but you just don't have the understanding of the Prophetic. You haven't no knowledge of the question the disciples asked Jesus is verse 3 of that chapter.

Matthew 24:21-22
[21]For then there will be great tribulation (affliction, distress, and oppression) such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now–no, and never will be [again]. [Dan. 12:1; Joel 2:2.]
[22]And if those days had not been shortened, no human being would endure and survive, but for the sake of the elect (God's chosen ones) those days will be shortened.

How can you see this portion of the scriptures and you believe that we are in that time now.

Politics › Re: 2027: ‘They’ll Defeat Him’ – Udenta Names ADC Ticket To Send Tinubu Packing by ogascomax: 2:34pm On Apr 20
Sheuns:
The last time an incumbent southern president was defeated in an election was by a northern candidate backed with a section of the south.

To remove Tinubu it has to be a strong northern candidate paired with a strong support from a section of the south.

Putting up a southern candidate against Tinubu may result in victory for Tinubu. The northerners may vote Tinubu because they’re guaranteed power after his second 4 years.

Peter Obi vs Tinubu in an election will favor Tinubu more.

I suspect those pushing the narrative are working for APC either directly or indirectly.

Tinubu vs a strong northern candidate is what can remove him from that seat.

Our goal should be to oust this government and party first.
It's just a simple logic. It's not hard to understand that only a Northern candidate can defeat Tinubu. But some South believe that they prefer Tinubu to continue than Atiku. Who is doing who at the end. The only way Obi can become future president is for a Northerner to win now otherwise Obi will never become president again.

Our God is a spirit not an image or an idol.

We worship a living God, a spirit being, a great and mighty God not a crucifix or image, only false Christians will be angry with this. True Christians know that our God is a spirit being that exist everywhere including in our hearts and not in an image.


We don't fight for our God like others do instead our God fights for us.

Our God is more than able and powerful to defend itself in ways He prefers, which might not come as instant physical death or harm like you carnal humans want and expect. Our God is a spirit and His ways are mysterious and spiritual too, you cannot comprehend the ways of God, that's it.


So op, find another work, we are not the other people that see everything as blasphemy
They want us to come here and start shouting not knowing that we don't fight like those whose god is the moon god.
God knows why he chose Israel so nobody or nothing that Israel does will make me to fight Israel. God will handle Israel himself as he has always do.

grin grin grin That is why it is good to study your bible as a Christian. Jesus Christ himself in Matthew 24 said the rapture will happen after the great tribulation. That for the sake of Christians on earth, the time-frame for the great tribulation will be shortened.

Please ask them again!! grin grin grin
That is for the tribulation Saints. Rapture would have happened already. That one you are talking about is during the second coming of Jesus Christ. Rapture is not the second coming of Jesus. 1 Cor 15 speaks about the resurrection of the dead and rapture. 1Thessalonians 4:14-17. Chapter 5 also.
Let me ask you a logical question. If the tribulation period is seven years then how will the coming of Jesus be unknown to us. The day and the time he said no one knows. How can he say no one knows when it has a definite time of seven years. It's the lack of understanding that makes people to mix-up what Jesus was talking about in Math 24.
What even began the whole talk in that chapter. It was a question that was asked.

Matthew 24:3 (KJV) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

Jesus was answering several questions that was asked in verse 3.

Since you people don't understand this particular verse you go about misinterpreting the whole verse.

2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 (KJV) And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

Where in the Bible is it written that Rapture comes before Great tribulation?
I don't think it's a discussion we can easily have online because you have to look at several scriptures. The Anti Christ cannot manifest until the church is out of this world. It cannot come until the time of the gentiles be over. You must have an understanding of Daniel's prophesy about the last days and other prophesies. Then you must understand Jesus revelation about the last days in Math 24. That chapter reveals several things so you must put all the scriptures together. Some people think that Christians are to go through the tribulation period to taste their Christianity. That is one of the most weird and awkward believe one could have. The tribulation Saints at that times will be people that will believe in Jesus afterwards because of what they have seen or experience at the rapture. The rapture will make doubters to believe in Jesus but it will be too late for them because they will have to pay for their salvation with their own blood. Also Christians that also believe in Jesus that sin was found in them at the time of the rapture those will be the tribulation Saints. It's not some discussion of this sorts I can just have online this way.

What as been happening in the world since it creation is like a child's play compare to that time.
Christianity Etc › Re: What Is The Great Tribulation? by ogascomax: 11:33am On Apr 19
The great tribulation is the period when the Anti Christ will rule the world for 7 years after the rapture of the church. Jesus says it will be a period or times like the world has never been. The suffering will be extraordinary that it will be difficult not to receive the mark of the beast. They will be no buying and selling for those without the mark.
Don't just miss the rapture of the church.
Jesus is coming very very soon. It can be this year or next or next ect.
So any moment of time.

immortalcrown:
Let's avoid double standards.

If kneeling down as a punishment is good for any apprentice, it is good for all apprentices, including married ones.

If kneeling down as a punishment is bad for married apprentices, it is equally bad for unmarried apprentices.

Let us not judge the matter based on marital status. If the treatment is bad, it is bad. Married apprentices and unmarried apprentices have equal dignity as humans.


You are twisting things here. The topic is not about punishing children versus punishing adults. The topic is about punishing adults that are married versus punishing adults that are not married.

So, any apprentice that is single is automatically a child and every married apprentice is an adult? Don't you see shops where married apprentices are younger than the unmarried ones? Do not tie dignity to marriage. Anything that is humiliating for a married adult is equally humiliating for an unmarried adult. Becoming an adult is natural while marriage is by choice. Why should we discriminate against nature in favour of choice?

You are missing the point. As long as the offences are the same, let the punishment be the same.

If you condemn the punishment because the offender is married, condemn the same punishment when the offender is single.

The reward or punishment for an action should not be based on marital status. Otherwise, biase and discrimination will reign.
You must understand that a married woman is different from a single lady. Someone brought a point of an adult and a toddler you said it does not relate or it's not the same reason. It's the same thing.
No woman I will marry will even kneel for one person self.
You never hear say head dey big pass konk.
What you are even saying is that a 40 years old apprentice will be punished same wey like a 15 years old apprentice. Does that even make sense to you.
