Premil Pretrib FAQ

Premil Pretrib FAQ Q: If there will be "no second chance," after the rapture, how can we reconcile there is a 'left behind' doctrine in pre-tribulation/ pre-millennial eschatology? A: You're thinking the view is saying all people who have heard could hear again and be saved. Not so.  In the premillennial, pre-tribulational view, only those "who never heard the gospel" before the rapture will still have opportunity to be saved during the Tribulation. God ensures this through: ●The 144,000 sealed Jews (Rev. 7) who act as evangelists. ●The two witnesses in Jerusalem (Rev. 11). ●The angel proclaiming the everlasting gospel to every nation, tribe, and tongue (Rev. 14:6). Thus, God provides global proclamation so that even those previously unreached will hear and be called to salvation, though often at the cost of martyrdom. So... In the biblical premillennial, pretribulational framework, after the church is raptured: Worldwide gospel witness continues—God rai...

No one dies for a Lie? *

People often say, “Nobody dies for a lie,” but at first glance, it seems Muslims, cult members, or even secular revolutionaries die for lies all the time.  Christianity proclaimed the truth, in a world full of lies.  1. Clarifying the Phrase When teachers, preachers, Christians & apologists say “Nobody dies for a lie,” they don’t mean “Nobody ever dies for something false.” History proves otherwise—many have died for false religions, ideologies, or even political causes. The real point is: 👉 Nobody willingly dies for something they know is false. • A Muslim suicide bomber dies for what he believes is true, even though it’s a lie. • A cult member and petson in a false religion may die sincerely, but with sincere deception. • The Apostles, however, were in a unique position: they were eyewitnesses of the risen Christ. If the resurrection were a hoax, they would have known it firsthand. 2. Why This Matters with the Apostles The key apologetic difference: • Others die for wha...

Others died so why celebrate Charlie Kirk?

Q: The day Kirk was killed, 25 Ukrainians were murdered by Russia, at least 41 people killed in Gaza by Israel, 7 people killed in mass shootings in US in the first week of September - but why are none of these appear as important as the killing of a man who was famous for talking? What is the measurement of importance?   A: The measurement is important.  Yes, 160k people die every day. But thats who we need to be right with God cuz tomorrow isnt guaranteed. Charlie shared that Gospel fact, proclaimed Christ and encouraged folk towards the Savior.  He encouraged. He focused on opening the eyes of young folk brainwashed by public school systems. And to start getting critical thinking skills, understand the rewriting of history (being taught in schools today) isnt truth, he pointed to our American foundations, society, culture, and sovereignty. He shared facts (not liberal edited half truths and flat out falsehoods pushed by media and schools that pushes a false narrat...

Is God silent? Why cant you hear?

Hebrews 1:1-2 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. Romans 1:20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, Isaiah 55:10-11 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to...

A consideration for those today who reject good & evil /conseqentialism

College today teaches false things to students. Its not based in reality. We need to show them truth. For those who reject good & evil /conseqentialism and think more in more of a pro social attitude mindset.... If theres no consequence to your action, why wouldn't you do the action? There should be consequences. By design your actions cant exist outside of the framework of consequences. Actions lead to a certain outcome. By design. This is truth. It's a fact. It is reality. Your conscience convicts you when you've done wrong, unless you've seared it. Truthfully every wrong doing, every sin IS in fact committed against God. Its not victimless. Consequences come wuth actions committed, both now and in eternity. But you should do the right thing because its the right thing. We were created in God's image, with communicable attributes, its written on our heart, part of our design. We are to be holy. We can no longer be perfectly holy if we have a Fallen nature...

Is God sadistically & Christianity reprehensible & revolting proposition to the logical, rational, morally responsible & spiritually sensitive heart & mind?

Q: I feel Mainline Christianity is a reprehensible & revolting proposition to the logical, rational, morally responsible & spiritually sensitive heart & mind. It teaches that the vast majority of people made in God’s image—which the Bible says should never be disrespected or defaced—will be sadistically tortured in hell forever, even though Jesus allegedly made propitiation for them (turning aside the wrath of God against them) when he suffered the punishment for their sins, as their sacrificial substitute, on the cross, and thereby satisfied the holy justice of God on their behalf.  Double jeopardy? Premeditated genocide?  The larger reality of which we are an integrated part beckons us toward greater love, compassion & service. No judgment or condemnation. Only unconditional love. A: God is our Creator. Morals come from Him, from the attributes of God. That's one way in which we were made in the image of God. Man fell in Eden, so he only lives out a distorted...

Confused former pastor seeks clarity on faq

Q:Why do we need apologists to “apologize“ for the Bible? Why do we need people like William Lane Craig or Frank Turek or Cliff Knechte & others to speak in such confusing philosophical parameters, to explain to us concepts that should be crystal clear to anyone reading the Bible? Why do we need scholars we hear about to clear up all the thousands of misconceptions and misinterpretations of the Bible? If we put 100 people in 100 different rooms and ask them simple Christian doctrine questions like how do you get to heaven, what is the Trinity, or what is the book of Revelations about, etc. We get 100 different answers. To me, this is why Christianity is so obviously a man-made philosophy. A God would have no reason to be that confusing.  Edit: My Mormon friends tell me the exact same thing. They say, “I read the book of Mormon and don’t find it confusing. It is very clear maybe read it and you will not be confused." Muslims tell me the exact same thing about the Quran. I was...
