A Prewrath Pastor's Story

The rapture, often called "the blessed hope," is sadly more hoax than hope, even though the man who started it had no intention of deceiving anyone. You need to know what the Bible actually says!

by Cecil E. Maranville

The rapture is widely taught and believed in Christianity today. Popular books and movies spin themes around this doctrine that essentially teaches Christ will come back twice, first coming... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Ammi2) http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2879 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:33:36 GMT http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2656/t/Eternal-Security-Conditional.html Eighteen Biblical Examples Of People Who Once Had Saving Faith

The history is there for all to read for themselves and judge the man by his fruits....a good tree does not give forth bad fruit, and a bad tree doesnt not give forth good fruits. We shall know them by their fruits.

I gotta say, I just got off a 2 1/2 hour conversation with Laura, and we went back and forth through the scriptures. And I wanted to say this: I love you guys. This board is awesome because of the fact that you ask for Scripture. It is sooooo encouraging to find a place where we can debate, even heatedly about Scripture, and yet still know that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, to the Glory of God the Father.

I am soooo sleepy, I will have to post more tomorrow. But for... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thevibesguy) http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2645 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:43:35 GMT http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2629/t/Letting-No-Man-Teach-Us-.html
I have a question that has been bugging me for the past couple of days:

Would either of the two of you listen to me preach or any other pastor and be a member of a local body of believers?

Here's why I ask this:

When we are debating, I agree that scripture is the absolute authority. No question there. I am solid on that. Anyone who is at my church will tell you that I let scripture interpret scripture, and not my interpretation of it. We flip... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thevibesguy) http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2629 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 10:46:38 GMT http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2625/t/Salvation--predestination--works---stuff-related.html I want to address the proverbial controversy. Salvation and predestination and salvation with works and other things that get mixed in.
what does the word teach about all this.
And because in other threads the accusation of using the teachings of Arminus, Pelgius whatever demands that this be addressed.
We have calvinist teachings here which by the way his beliefs of predestination were... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (I Ruhamah) http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2625 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:30:06 GMT http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2621/t/One-Part-or-Two-Part-Gospel-.html http://www.modernreformation.org/default.php?page=blog_view&var1=ViewInd&var2=2&var3=243&var4=blog_view&var5=ViewInd&var6=2&var7=357&var8=main&var9=Home

This article explores (and dispels) the accusation that the church is based on the teachings of Paul, and that the four gospels being written after the Paul's epistles, were influenced by Paul's doctrines. He compares and studies the life and teachings of Paul, and gives insight into that supernatural element of Jesus that Jesus came by... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (decision4Jesus) http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2620 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 08:01:10 GMT http://thebereanoasis.yuku.com/topic/2619/t/God-s-Sovereign-Will-and-our-Perseverence-Preservation.html Calvinism was brought up in the other thread (whether sin defiles) and the desire for scriptural support. I post these for those who may have a sincere desire to research into this further... (I won't be putting any of my own comments).

"If you are saying that the Day of the Lord and the Day of Christ are the same event, does that mean that the Day of the Lord is the rapture?"

The "Day of the Lord (or Christ)" commences with the deliverance of the righteous by the rapture followed by God's wrath against the ungodly who remain on the earth.
