Could the Rapture Happen Today? (Part 1)

Could the Rapture Happen Today? (Part 1)

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.

Ignorance, Arrogance and Meaning

Ignorance, Arrogance and Meaning

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.

King Charles recently stated that he is no longer just the defender of the Christian faith but the defender of all faiths. Such a statement is doublespeak.

I'm also happy to live next door to and mix with people who are not at all like me. However, if you claim that all faiths are equally valid and aim to defend all faiths you are unavoidably denying all faiths, because all real faiths have specific beliefs

Foundations

Foundations

Foundations of all kinds are being assaulted daily - foundations of thought, culture, tradition and belief. They will disappear from under your feet if you let them. However, there is one foundation which cannot be removed and upon which all truth and all that is eternal stands: Jesus Christ. Are you standing on the Rock which cannot be moved?
