What is your opinion? Do you think this is Bible?

If you were to ask the folks @NLC whether we were pre-post, or "a" mill, or pre-mid or post trib, they would scratch their head and say, "What?" If you ask them if NLC preaches the second coming, they would resound with a "YES!" Who really cares which of those views it is? I certainly don't! Those views are NOT important. Jesus told us the general "sign" of the end times. That is good enough for me.

Sorry I'm not good enough for you. You have made my point well.

Not important? To you perhaps but to the Holy Spirit he was not wasting words when he inspired:

2 Thess. 2:1-5

1] Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
[2] That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
[3] Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
[4] Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
[5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

Yet you can say "Who really cares? Wow!

I preach this. In fact, I just preached it for 3 weeks and finished up a series on the end times. I believe pre-trib is correct. However, I also teach that we could be wrong on the timing and that the most important thing is to be ready. Just because I don't preach it like you do, you call that deception. Once again, you make my point. Straining at a gnat! IMO
