Dear Christians
Your colleague directed me to Matthew 23 verse 9. I think the "you" in this verse are Jewish believers. His name being Yahushuah, is a name of reproach. Jewish believers may well experience both external and internal hatred.
Why I am in consternation is 1 Thess 4:10 note 10 A.G.R calls the Rapture a "theory". I can well accept that the western Christian church is largely apostate having made the Torah irrelevant; but I need to know what theory A.G.R. has that is different from the plain words of scripture, about the rapture. Call it the netcatep is you will. Although A.G.R. is a Jew by race does this exclude him from the rapture? Is that his erroneous theory I wonder.
Persecuted true Christians should not make the rapture a sort of "escape clause". Many Christians are not in the will of Elohim and will be suffering a national disaster as in the Middle East generally and Africa. This was true of the Jews in the holocaust, as far as I can understand.
Christians were thrown to the lions but many were surely in the will of Elohim for their testimony that this life is not all there is.
You could ask A.G.R. to communicate with me direct as although part of a redundant church I still hope to be taken at the rapture.
