Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…

Could Jesus Christ come for His Church today or tomorrow, in a surprise rapture event, leaving planes to fall from the sky and empty cars to crash in traffic? In Part One (find it on the home page) I discussed the faulty application of Jesus' words, “You do not know the day or the hour” to the pre-tribulation rapture theory. This post continues on from there. It's taken from my book (link below).
Could Jesus Christ return without notice, at a time we aren't expecting Him to come and with no prior notice? I will demonstrate in a two-part article that Biblical "imminence" is taken out of context to prove a pre-Tribulation rapture. Most especially I will draw attention to the fact that Jesus spoke of the imminence of his coming to those who would still be on the earth during Tribulation events.
The Institute for Creation Research recently aired an interview with geologist Dr. Timothy Clarey, in which many major issues of the creation/evolution debate were touched upon. I decided to summarize this video (note 1) partly because I've taken interest in creation geology since I've been a professing Christian, and partly because I think there are many people around the world who never get a chance to hear or read such evidence in support of Biblical Scripture.
Two human traits which are most corrosive and ugly when operating together are ignorance and arrogance. People who are both ignorant and arrogant tend to assume that you are the ignorant one. They may have more respect if you have letters after your name, but not if you don't think as they do. We need to stand our ground internally so as not to be drawn into their desire to diminish our self-respect and our confidence.
From time to time I write about my conviction that Jesus Christ will return soon, and without setting dates I personally see his return occurring within decades, not centuries or millennia. If I'm wrong, I'll apologise later. You can ignore or mock, or you can carefully consider the possibilities. Here's a sketchy summary of thoughts on the matter. I've written longer articles on each subject, with Biblical references, in past posts.
