THE SHOCKING TRUTH

In a recent Gallup Poll, 41% of Americans who call themselves Born-again Christians said they “rarely read” or “never read” the Bible. 12% say they “read” the Bible monthly. 10% say they read the Bible less than monthly. Another statistical research showed that less than 10% of professing Christians have ever “read” the entire Bible. If these studies are even close to being accurate, it is a startling revelation of the “TRUE CONDITION” of the Church today in America!

I have also put a copy of this in the attachment, which is in it's original Word Document format.

If Christians read and understood the Bible, they would no longer be Christians. Christianity is the purest form of Satan worship. But they believe they are serving God and those who read the Bible are spiritually deaf and blind.

If you ask those people what denomination they are, they will tell you christian, but when further conversing with them, ask them what church they go to, they will tell you their real denomination, catholic, methodist, baptists, And these are one that are going to be falling away when the anti-christ show up. because they don't study their bible and are ashamed that they didn't learn what our LORD told us. All the Bible is the Word of God, not just the OT. Christ is the King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords. one example is the reply above this one.

I am always amazed at the audacity of any Christian that will judge another Christian's walk with the LORD, even tho they know nothing about the time spent reading/studying the bible. They judge only on the knowledge that the person is not in total agreement with him! Being in agreement with you is not how one is saved!

I doing what my Lord says to do, if not I'll be in His judgement of not warning others. A watchman. Mr Finch doesn't believe in the rapture and you do. I don't as its not biblical. As for your reply, it is a personal observation on denominations. and I don't really care if you approve of my ways.

While the rapture is not a salvation issue, to state that it is unbiblical is a false statement. Please peruse the following with numerous biblical references, BOTH OT and NT that biblically support a pre-Tribulation rapture.

How can it not be a salvation issue, Christ doesn't show up till the seventh trump, anti-christ shows up at the 666. 1st Thes is the first letter and they interpreted wrong, so The 2nd letter was written to clarify the chain of events that Christ will not return till the son of perdition shows up. Then the falling away of the ones that said here is the christ. The parable of the Foolish virgins that didn't have oil (truth) and went out to meet their christ, then return only to find the Bride of Christ has begun and that the door has shut. Then they will say 'mountains fall on me, to shield them from the shame that they were unlearned and went to the Instead of Christ. I used to believe in the rapture then started studying under a Christian pastor. I'll look into your post later tonight. This was a quick response to your reply.

Well, warn away Mr. Frank. We Baptist won't be here when the Anti-Christ shows up, along with people from other denominations, even some that don't belong to any denomination. Jesus Christ will take individuals that have accepted his gift of salvation, regardless of a denomination. I will never approve of anyone that judges someone else's heart. That is not biblical!

Mr. Frank Jesus doesn't come to earth when he gathers us to him. We meet him in the air without him asking us to follow or saying anything to us. If someone were to tell us that he was Jesus, we will know he is not! The rapture takes place in the twinkling in an eye, instantly, we are on this earth and then we are in the air with Jesus! John 10:27-29 my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they WILL NEVER PERISH, and NO ONE will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me is greater than all, and NO ONE is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. You would have to totally ignore this verse to believe that the anti-Christ could get any child of God. Go Trump!!!!!!!!!!!👍

Maybe you should study under someone else...

But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don’t need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is true—it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ. 1 John 2:27

if you look at the word air it's the "spirit", that when we all get changed in our spiritual bodies, the 7 Trump. you see what I mean by study and rightfully dividing the Word of Truth. That was just one item that I saw on your statement. As for "mw", this is an example on how important it is to has a good teacher. I'll stay with my teacher for God provides -Yahveh Jirah.

Did you notice that Texcan had an incorrect translation on meeting Cbrist in the air. If you don't say anything to the others, you are guilty for God will hold you or anyone else accountable. why don't you go learn the parable of the Fig tree, Christ said learn it, So please don't try to correct if you can't correct everyone who doesn't study the scriptures. you need to have a good teacher for God sends them if you have ears to hear and eyes to see.

What does the parable of the fig tree have to do with this discussion?

Well do you know it? if not you better get going because Jesus said learn it now. Don't you listen to God when He says to study yourselves, so you won't be ashamed when you have to correct someone. Here's another thing to study " the Key of David", Your behind schedule, better start because that a part of the 5 of 7 churches that are dead. Please don't bother me with your questions, go help yourself. Buy a concordance and KJ version Bible. You are lacking.
