    What's the context of these chapter ? It's the loud coming of the Lord !

    Verse 15

    Verse 16

    Where in the world do these false teachers think it's a secret silent rapture ? Don't buy their spirit of Antichrist!

    Rob I have a real problem with knowing who to trust that are on tv preaching whether or not they are real and with all of the things that are going on now I have even more problems with it. How do you know if they are honest God loving people or just in it for the money? I never have trusted them much anyway and now I just do not watch them at all. So sad but the Bible tells us all about it. That is one thing I like about this site because to me it is for real and nothing for anyone to make any money on it and I love it! I do think if there was ever a time in my life the end is near is right now after 70 years. One thing I do know is a day is like a thousand years to the Lord and know man shall know not even the Son so what a day that will be. Amen and Praise the Lord

    Yes I know your concern about TV evangelicalism.

    I had the same questions about Jimmy Baker and the likes of them back in the 70 and 80 s and even B G the most popular of them all .

    The truth should make people doubt them , because these teachers just don't add up in some way .

    The apostle Paul said in 1 Thessalonians ch 2 v 9 , 10

    That he Labored with that he may not be chargeable unto any !

    That means to me he did not want anyone thinking that there was gain in his service to him . But he truly cared more for them than any gain or appearance of gain .

    Godliness with contentment is great gain !

    What an example apostle Paul was !

    It's even wrong to be asking for tithes .

    Taking from the poor is never right ! They can give if they desire like the poor widow that gave her mite. But to take from the poor is sinful !

    Collections in the NT where so they could distribute to the poor believers, quite the opposite. But nothing stopping them to give if they desire to from the heart .

    Jesus said it's better to give than to receive.

    For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

    "And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth
