Rehashing the 'rapture', end times, Wrath of GOD, 'taken' vs 'left' 25Feb24

 A resurgence of a discussion between our congregation and former members who have 'strayed' from the truth.  :(  Set up: reading from an email received, and subsequent responses back and forth.  The prime focus of the discussion was based on a YouTube video was offered to 'explain an interpretation,  a man's understanding', not found in God's word.  Understanding comes from the Word of God, alone.

NOTES:

• Grace reigns through righteousness.
• The LAW was to teach righteousness, to a carnal, worldly nation; it was a pre-school 'primer' to give an understanding that would be shown in its entirety, by Christ.  Spiritual righteousness was not available until Christ was crucified, and had paid the price for sin.

• Gal. 3:21

• Rom. 6:19   It is always 'our choice'. (we) yield our members, (our lives), to either sin or righteousness.  WE Choose, or we don't!
