For example, we say the word "love" and can mean a hundred different things, but contextually we can explain the difference. My love of a cheeseburger is no the same as brotherly love or the love for my wife. Same thing with "the coming of the Lord", the same phrase can mean the rapture or the 2nd advent. Contextually they are distinctly different. In Rev 19, you have Christ returning with his bride at his 2nd advent. How does he bring the church with him if he's just calling it up?
I just explained why the rapture and the 2nd advent are 2 different things. He comes at the rapture. He comes as the 2nd advent. How can what Paul talks about in 1 Cor 15 be a mystery if it's the 2nd advent? That would not be a mystery. Jesus had already talked about it in Luke 21 and Matt 24. You are getting tied up on the wording called the coming of the Lord. They are both called the coming of the Lord but mean 2 different things.
Rapture, Second Coming, 2 Totally different things, at 2 Totally different Times. 1 Thes. 4, occurs at the time of Revelation 4. The Church is called out of this world, prior to the tribulation, we will be partaking of the marriage supper during the tribulation and the tribulation will end with the second coming of Christ. This is not mans doctrine, but rather, the doctrine taught by the Living Word of God. Also, The Word "Rapture" is in fact in the Bible, if you go back and study the Greek .
@91Jonnys Did you not listen to the 5 scriptures I gave in the first 6 minutes of this sermon where the Bible calls the rapture "the coming of the Lord" over and over again? Is that Coming 1.5?
Whatever I may have thought of this pastor in the past, this sermon alone has revived my interest in that he is lead by the Holy Spirit, at least for this sermon. Thank you Pastor Anderson, helped me more than you could ever know my good friend.
@Xinthose Yes it does. 30And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
In Matthew 5:28 it mentions lusting after a women then verse 29 and 30 have the word "And" beginning them meaning theyare connected with the act of lusting. Such has with the eyes(porn) and with your hand(masturbation).
@Megafanboy1 you can masturbate w/o thinking about women, it's easy; then your argument holds no water except for giving in to the desires of the flesh, which is what sex is in the first place anyway
@BelieveandtrustJesus here's the thing though, Paul tells married couples to have sex so that they are NOT tempted by Satan; so then it makes sense to reason that what can single people do to resist satan? and that answer would be masturbation, just as having sex works for a married couple; but then the next question is that if married sex is good, then is masturbation bad? I really can not completely decide, but just try to listen to the Holy Spirit on this matter, which has not really answered
@BelieveandtrustJesus the reason I mention this is because this pastor will never mention it most likely, and the bible never talks about it, it is never condemned by God, so it makes one wonder; is masturbation lusting after your body if you don't think about anything else? I don't really know, because I for one have a very high sex drive and not masturbating for a month is VERY hard to do, believe me (which doesn't help the matter of not lusting)
@believeandtrust What makes YOU such an authority to say "period"?? bullcrap! masturbation CAN be strictly a physical act. especially to remove the possibility of nocturnal emissions which is like waking up with crazy glue stuck to your underwear!
Masturbation is NOT always due to lust. And do you really think God didn't create AND understand the lust [sexually] that He built in to who we are? Of course! Period.
I also like how you pointed out how tribulation and God's wrath are two different things. For Pre-Tribulation believing people this is also a stumbling block, but not if you just read the Bible and pray for understanding. I found this video after I had prayed and decided that pre-tribulation is wrong, it really helped me understand the difference between tribulation and wrath. I also never realized that the book of Revelation could be split up the way you described, it really makes seance now.
@lsavalla so we who are saved by Jesus are just left to suffer his wrath until the second coming? we're not saved from that?
watch alohabibleprophecy videos please for proof the rapture is before the tribulation AND wrath. don't look for the antichrist, look for Jesus Christ. don't say 'my master delays his coming' like the foolish servant.
Great sermon! I have been a pre-tribulation believer for most of my life, but like you said if you just pick up the book and read it for your self you will quickly see the error in that teaching. It is amazing how clear the Bible makes it. The only down side to this amazing revaluation is the isolation I feel from my parents. Now I am not a young kid, but all the same it is hard to have such a sharp disagreement with loved ones.
It must take tremendous courage to preach the truth these days. It seems like 99% of "pastors" are tip-toeing around on eggshells, ever-so-careful not to offend ANYONE.
Doesn't matter if the congregation is 1/4th sodomite, and 3/4ths spineless pencil neck.
I've seen it so many times it's comical.
Pastor Pullpunch at Smiley Baptist Church. He'll tell you all about 'being a good person' and 'preaching the truth in love'. What he really means is: 'be like the world', 'don't rock the boat'.
Great doctrinal sermon showing from Scripture, that The Day of The Lord and The Rapture are one in the same event. This will help me greatly in showing some family and freinds, who have been deceived by false teachers,hirelings who have no love for the sheep that we will indeed go through the Great Tribulation, if we remain until that day.Again, great sermon.but I've yet to hear one I did'nt agree with. May Christ guide you into all understanding Pastor Steven. I'll be praying for you and yours.
@gatorz27 Yes,the Muslims are just as guilty of being antichrist as the Jews and all who deny The Trinity,The Bible is never deceptive,only mans heart Jer 17:9 To claim to know who is THE antichrist is folly.We will only know that when he is revealed.Christ only preached to Jews,but they were blinded by God so we gentiles might have salvation.Jn 12:37-44.Remember, we're grafted in to the tree contrary to nature.Rom 11:16-25.There has and will always be a remnant of believing Jews.Be not proud.

so is masturbation wrong? because the Bible never talks about it; I know lust is wrong, but the inherent act itself is technically not wrong

Son of Perdition will be the last Pope. antichrist, think about that at ChristMASS
Abomination of desolation is long gone.
isn't the bible so deceptive then with this verse...
Mat 24:16 KJV - Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
--
Mat 24:19-29 is the period between then and now(soon) how many false prophets from then till now... most popular false prophet is Mohummud.
rev 10:7 the mysterie is in reference to?
add in Matt 13:30 and who goes first?
