See what I mean?

May I ask some questions

1. If it’s a “secret rapture” how do you know about it? (hidden from knowledge)

2. In a world of around 7 billion people it is fair to say that true Christians number in the millions, if they are all taken away you don’t think anyone would notice? How is something so obviously public, “secret”? (concealed)

3. If it’s a secret why are those who believe in this “secret” rapture writing books, preaching sermons, and warning others about it making the effort to proclaim it?

You have two examples from your own country. George Mueller depended upon the Lord to meet the needs of the orphans in his care and God used people with wealth to meet those needs. Spurgeon spent much wealth distributing, sermons, tracts, books and training because the Lord has provided the means to do so through the wealth of believers.

We live by the words found in I Timothy 6:17. I, like you, am not wealthy but neither am I poor. By the standard of wealth in the time in which our Lord walked this earth, you would be one of the wealthy.

Our Lord lived off the the support of the wealthy who freely gave to His work and supported both Him and the disciples. He paid taxes with coins found in the mouth of a fish and unlike us, did not have a domicile in which to stay.

So, back to my question, which points have I said with which you disagree? Am I to assume that you think there is some spirituality in being poor?

I am unaware of any Capitalist manifesto. You can see Capitalism taught in Scripture but the concept of it as we know it as a defined economic system post dates the Bible.

1. The stock market is not only for people who are wealthy, it affects more those in the middle class.

2. That being being wealthy does not necessarily mean you worship money.

3. That there is no virtue or spirituality in being poor financially

4. That the spread of the gospel and its ministers are financed by those who have money

That same day at evening being the first day of the week, ...came Jesus into their midst and sauté unto them, Peace he unto you and when He had so said He sowed Hus hands and side,

Then we’re the disciples glad when they saw the Lord

Stevenr I believe we should look at things through the Galatians 6:10 filter. Instead of viewing who is the lesser of two evils we should see which candidate and party does the most good to all men, especially those of the household of faith

Thus we not only have AOC bigoted rant against Christians, we also have Jim from Lincoln joining her side and also putting out a post against Christians.
