Paul's Rapture Lie


Join me at 3:00 PM EST (Thursday, May 8, 2025) as we dive into how Paul's false prophecy in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 15 related to what people call the "Rapture" has led to a plethora of false doctrines and made people who preach the pre-tribulation rapture into the same category of false prophet as Paul.  


The first lie is that all who are alive and remain at the return of Jesus, as well as all the dead in Christ, will be called up into the clouds with Jesus as He returns on the clouds.  Revelation says most plainly that the only ones who will be told to, "Come up hither," will be those who are beheaded for the testimony of Jesus during the time of the anti-christ beast system of the end times.  This will be the first resurrection, the rest of the dead will not be resurrected until after the millennial reign at the Great White Throne judgment. 


Secondarily, Jesus tells us that when He returns there will be a harvest of mankind, after the tribulation, where first the tares (sinners) will be gathered and then the Believers will also be gathered, so there is no pre-tribulation rapture, but rather a separation of the sheep from the goats at the end of the tribulation when Jesus returns.  This gathering also does not mean, as Paul says in 1 Thessalonians, the alive and remaining Believers will be changed to their immortal selves at that point, but rather they will live as normal human beings during the time of Jesus's millennial reign who will reproduce and continue to populate and repopulate the earth.  The idea that all Believers will change at that point to their immortal bodies to an entirely asexual existence makes no sense and does not jibe with the rest of what is real scripture on the subject.  


Let's dive deep on this.  It's going to be another wild ride, so climb aboard this podcast express.

Jesus Instills Faith/Trust in the Father as Provider; Paul Instills Fear

One thing you can be sure about Paul's writings: you can cherry pick from them all sorts of ideas on the same overarching subject and come up with multiple, even contradicting, viewpoints. For example, when it comes to the subject of money and provision, Paul wrote to Timothy, “For the love of money is the root of all evil:” (Is the love of money, or pride, the root of evil?  Satan's first sin was pride, which led to greed, but I digress.) In the midst of Paul's admonition, he says we ought to be content with our circumstances  and not be concerned with becoming rich, which can lead to a snared life and perdition. This passage, in my view, contains many truths that coincide with what our attitude should be toward money and provision.  Being content and grateful in any circumstance, not worrying for tomorrow, trusting the Father for today as Jesus taught in Matthew 6, is by all means the best place to be spiritually and psychologically when it comes to walking through this...

Seven Reasons Acts is a Provable Hoax

Image
To begin I would like to assert that in bringing up the errors in Acts, the Pauline epistles and the pdeudepgraphical writings attributed to Peter (1 and 2 Peter), this blog and YouTube channel in no ways comes against the teachings of Jesus Christ and His everlasting Gospel.  In fact, this ministry promotes what Jesus said and did as the only way to everlasting life.  What He is reported to have taught and done in the Gospels of Matthew and John as well as in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, is what I believe we can all base the entirety of our belief systems upon and is the only Gospel on which we can be assured of salvation.  In fact that's what Jesus taught when He said His Words or His sayings are the rock upon which we build.  Jesus also taught of Himself constantly from the Torah and the Prophets.  Contrarily, in Acts 15 when the "apostles" are laying out their edict regarding circumcision and what commands the Gentiles should observe, their de...

Are the Lunar Sabbatarian's "Pause & Reset Days" Biblical?

Image
Join Doug this evening at 7:15pm EST (Wed, Jan 22, 2025) https://youtube.com/live/6G-W8bOnDwg?feature=share on the JesusNotPaul/Acts channel for a podcast discussion surrounding the recent phenomena of the rise of those who say the Sabbath must be honored according to the moon phases, rather than every seventh day consecutively.  This is because the lunar calendar month is 29.5 days in length, while four seven day weeks only comprise 28.  This means the extra 1.5 days per month have to go somewhere, so to keep with the lunar phases one or two spacer, "pause & reset" days are added which means the first week to start a new month, the sabbath could occur on the eighth or ninth day, ultimately breaking the Father's order of every seventh day of each week.  No where in the scriptures is it ever implied there would literally be monthly skip days inserted to stay on a lunar calendar.  The conjecture and projection it takes for lunar sabbatarians to convince themselves...
