Death May Trump Rapture AND Tribulation
Too many Posttribbers today are judgmental, unkind, uncharitable and filled with pride. They take their cue from their leader; Dave MacPherson; a man who is said to be living in “survivalist” mode in an earthen home in Utah, waiting for the Tribulation to begin. They have no right to judge and no right to condemn, yet it continues.
Mr. Preterist: It is Right Before Your Eyes
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man…

Posttribulationalists Need to Change Their Worn Out Tune!
Posttribbers have NO right to judge and castigate those who espouse a different Eschatological position than theirs. No right at all. For those who persist in it, good luck with that when you have to answer to Christ, who judges all fairly.
PreTrib Rapture and Christ’s Bride
Those of you who firmly believe that the Tribulation/Great Tribulation is something that you NEED to go through in order to be purified by Christ, you’re welcome to it. John has a simpler solution. He stated that those who look to His coming purify themselves (or, better yet, ARE purified).
Those Pesky Anti-Zionists…
The problem with the Anti-Zionist, is that all the while they are accusing Christian Zionists of harboring racist attitudes, they themselves seem to completely unaware of the fact that they are filled to the overflowing brim with hatred toward Jewish individuals, and those who deign to support Israel’s right to be a sovereign nation. The tragic consequences of their beliefs have been center stage off and on through the centuries, yet in spite of the calculated manifestation of their own anti-Semitism, they gamely plod along, unwilling or unable to acknowledge what everyone else readily sees.

The PreTrib Rapture, and Being (Allegedly) Unprepared
Because PreTrib Rapturists believe they will be taken off the planet prior to the Tribulation, it is charged that they will essentially stop growing spiritually. They will become lazy, immature, unspiritual and a plethora of other things besides. The general idea is that we Pretribbers will adopt the “Hey, I’m safe! I’m gone before it gets really tough! No worries!” and of course, this attitude then carries over into our daily living, which means that we will stop reading the Bible, we will become very lackadaisical when it comes to prayer, going to church, and in general, obeying Christ as He seeks to secure the souls of the lost through our testimony.
Gloom and Doom Teachers and Preachers are in it for the Bucks! and One More…
How many Christians today actually LIVE as if it is their last day on earth? I know very few of them. “Oh, but wait!” someone might argue. “The Rapture is NOT going to happen at any time, therefore the only way to really live that way is to consider that the Christian might die…before…….the………..day…………..is………..over (gulp).” Yeah, that’s it exactly, isn’t it?
Pretribulational Rapture: What If It Isn’t True?
Frankly stated, if Scofield, Chafer and others were alive today, they would have every right to sue him for defamation of character, since everything he presents in his book amounts to little more than heresay.
I am Amazed at the Division Eschatology Creates!
The overriding problem here is not the difference of opinion, but on the emphasis that people who believe that the Bible teaches a Pretribulation Rapture may in fact wind up going to hell because of it!
Vern Poythress’ “Understanding Dispensationalists”
Those who would so quickly decide that Dispensationalists are heathens, pagans, cult members, or heretics might take a few cues from Poythress!
