Faith Check

Every January 1, gym memberships, health foods, self-improvement plans, time-scheduling charts, and Bible-reading programs are in popular demand. People make resolutions, set goals, promise to become more self-disciplined, and turn over a plethora of new leaves. The new year is a time to begin again—to work on things that don’t come easily and develop a more fulfilling physical, emotional, and

  1. The man of lawlessness will be revealed after the Restrainer (Holy Spirit) has been removed. The thought is the church will be removed from the earth along with Spirit. I don’t think Paul is wrong. It is unclear to us, which is why there are different views. The problem with Christians today is they discredit those in the Bible because they assume they are wrong when it is who cant get concrete answers to our questions.

  2. Paul did not get anything wrong. If he did then we cannot say the word of God is inerrant. Paul wrote down what God told him to. The Bible is God breathed.
    There are a lot of people these days who try to discredit Paul in many ways.
    If we do this, then we discredit God’s Word.

  3. Great article. Well written. It is the most important thing to spend time with our Lord daily. But it is definitely a spiritual discipline.

  4. Nice article but I have a question. You say you believe in the Raptured church. I assume that means a pre-tribulation rapture.
    Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4, “2 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.”
    Paul clearly states that our gathering to Christ is after the man of lawlessness is revealed. The man of lawlessness is revealed at the Abomination of Desolation three and a half years into the tribulation. How did Paul get this wrong? Why should we believe anything Paul writes if he doesn’t know when we will be gathered to Him?
