User ID: 538113 United States 11/02/2008 11:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | CHURCHIANITY vs CHRISTIANITY / Rapture of the Bride but NOT the church! I believe God Loves the world. This love compels HIM to make the distinction between the so called church and Christianity.
The professional pastors who are hired yet not called have placed their sign next to God's thus distracting from the real gospel and revealing to the world a different gospel, usually this is void of love and shuns the workings, control, and gifts of the Spirit!
This placing of Jesus on the outside of the church brings judgment not to the unbeliever but to those who portray a different Jesus.
I believe scripture is clear the Bride (the ecklesia) will be called out of laodicea, and judgment will follow, but judgment will not fall on "The Bride". Thus we see how the rapture appears to be described as pretrib, midtrib, posttrib, ETC. Its a misunderstanding of who the true church is, not a contradiction in the scriptures.
Don't we see evidence of pretenders, possibly this is not intentional, they being seeds planted not by Jesus, but by the one who came behind Him...
I've seen many things in "Christendom", I've seen communes (come and go in failure). I've seen myself and other brothers walk in their own ways (you might call it backsliding), I've been hurt by supposed brothers in Christ, I've seen TV preachers act cocky, and ridiculous, I've seen people chase tithes and money, I've seen people in big churches (faithful tithers) go without help while in need, I've seen people chase their own kingdom and building programs. I've seen people pretend to prophecy, knowing they were not HEARING from HIM, (and in failure, excuse themselves by saying they were practicing), I've seen names in lights (but not Jesus name). I've seen people destroyed by the shepherding movement. I've seen men of god after devoting their lives to "the ministry" destroyed after a single mistake, instead of forgiven. On and on I could go... So does any of the above remind you of the book of acts or the first group of believers?
The preaching of the gospel by religious folks just doesn't work! How could it, they are not ambassadors of the very Spirit, since they refuse to give up their life through that act of ultimate (life giving) which is the "surrender of self". The first century church in the New Testament turned the world upside down in a short time NOT because of their words alone but because of the LIFE residing IN them. This was a spirit thing...NOT a mental thing, it wasn't an agreement with certain doctrines or creeds, it wasn't from arguing the scriptures, it wasn't from forming a new church or denomination, they had and were living LIFE like Jesus 24/7 every moment of each day, a life of submission, pleasing the father, a life defined by others as "seeing they had been with Jesus". Being in his presence and service, is the key, Paul called this being a love slave, a life like Paul's multiplied thousands of times over will "again" cause the world to SEE and HEAR the TRUE gospel |

Read the parable of the Virgins, everyone can become a Bride of Christ. It is a wonderful initiation experience and you can find it in the mysticism of other religions as well. I was raptured in 2004. Lotus i love satan |

I believe that is the source of confusion, the Song of Salomon and many other scriptures point to a difference in the bride, concubines, virgins. ETC. |

Quoting: rodmMost Christians are secretly Catholics for they all read the Catholic version of the Bible the one edited at the council of nicea 364AD your going to have to read and keep the Bible that includes the Book of Enoch like the Ethiopian Bible or you’re just another pawn of the Satanic Catholic Church. ___________ Jesus loves Pedophiles.
