End-Times Christian Movie Series ‘Left Behind’ Set for Hollywood Reboot (& Starring Nicolas Cage?)

Oct. 20, 2012 9:05am Billy Hallowell

Nicolas Cage to Potentially Star in New Left Behind Film

Actor Nicolas Cage is reportedly set to star in a reboot of the “Left Behind” film series. (AP)

Move over Kirk Cameron. Actor Nicolas Cage is reportedly in talks to star in a reworked and rebooted version of “Left Behind,” the film series based on the Biblical account of the Rapture. With a proposed budget of $15 million, those behind the revamped film effort are looking to go more mainstream than the original series, which was predominately popular among Christians.

While the “Left Behind” series is getting a major face-lift, the team behind the older films is, at least to a degree, intact. Writer, producer and Cloud Ten Pictures founder Paul Lalonde worked on the original series and he’s once again leading the latest effort. Script consultant John Patus, one of the many individuals who worked on “Left Behind: World at War,” the third movie in the series, is also involved in the new project.

Here’s a scene from the first “Left Behind” film:

The Hollywood Reporter has more about some of the other Hollywood heavyweights getting behind the project:

Legendary stunt coordinator and second-unit director Vic Armstrong is making a very rare jump into the director’s chair for the rebooted Left Behind movie. [...]

Paul Lalonde, who was one of the producers of the original, independently made series that starred Kirk Cameron, is producing the action thriller with Michael Walker. Jay David Williams of Family Screen Partners is exec producing.

Some may wonder how the Christian market will react to a more mainstream actor starring in the film — one who isn’t known for having an overt faith allegiance. Naturally, reaction to these developments is yet to be seen.

While the reboot will follow what the Hollywood Reporter calls “a classic disaster film” format, the essential tenets of end-times theology will still be present. In fact, the film will remain Christian at its core, with the plot, once again, focusing on the survivors living in the hours after the Biblical Rapture.

Cameron starred in the original series, which launched in 2001, with “World at War” completing the series back in 2005. The first three films were adapted from Tim LaHaye’s and Jerry Jenkins’ popular “Left Behind” book series, which sold tens of millions of copies across the globe.

Shooting is currently scheduled to begin in spring 2013 in Baton Rouge, La. According to Variety, “Lalonde [claims] that there is a theatrical guarantee in place from distributor Samuel Goldwyn Films.”

And Hollywood sees an opportunity to win back the faithful AND chip away at their detestable Christian faith at the same time! Let the DECONSTRUCTION BEGIN!

Whenever my kids see a movie, I ask them to find the “poison apple” for me. They have become most expert at identifying and describing how Hollywood attempted to influence their little minds and hearts for the worst. (Can’t afford to homeschool ‘cuz its illegal for my employer to pay a WHITE MAN like me a living wage that can provide for my WHOLE family of four. So the wife’s gotta work now that food costs as much as it does.) BUT I have already innoculated my kids for the Hollywood virus. Have you?

  Who are you, MODERATION? How dare you come here and say that to me? My employer would pay me a living wage, but YOUR lawyers would sue him. Want to talk supreme court cases? Want to talk “scholars of the left” and their “work”? Don’t just talk down to me. Your days of liberal ascendancy have come to an end. Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney, and the rest of them here who you so fondly belittle aren’t trying to end the commie reich, they are trying to insure that it doesn’t end in chaos. So go somewhere else with your snide little comments lacking both substance and basis in reality. We are full up your elitist BS.

  People will follow this all the way down the prim rose path. People don’t read the texts and there are so few actual teachers now days. People will allow themselves to be mislead by this movie, and it will mislead millions of people. Things are aligning and Satan needs his lie to ring out among the people so he can proclaim it to the masses. The sad point won’t come when they seemingly all turn Christian overnight… nope The sad day comes when they realize they have been had by Satan and fallen down on their knees to a flesh Christ (fake).
  Then they see the true Christ coming just as he said and realize they have screwed up royally. And that final “get away from me, I never knew you” that the true Christ states to those who worshipped the fake Chris, will cut like a two edged sword. Every knee will bow, then the cup of wrath gets poured out full measure upon those who worshipped the false Christ. There will not be a rapture from the Anti-Christ, and there will not be a rapture from the Cup of salvation, for it is written.

  How about being more responsible in family planning and protection during sex?
  
  @Pigpen
  
  Oh so you’re still playing the blame game? What are you babbling about when you say “your lawyers.”
  
  Take some responsibility for your life man.
  
  How did you come to your current situation?
  
  Did you have a well paying job and then lost it due to the recession?
  Were you and your family living comfortably and then had some financial difficulties that you haven’t recovered from?
  Or are you like a co-worker of mine who has 3 kids “by surprise” because of poor planning and irresponsible behavior?
  
  I feel for you, I don’t want anybody poor and I hope you can bounce back and live the life you want. Just please stop trying to blame others for the situation you’re in.

  GodLovinMon – Well done raising your Child. God is glad and Satan is Mad. In the 1960′s Satan and his followers took prayer out of our schools. At that time, the 3 biggest problems in our school were running in the hallways, talking out of turn, and chewing gum. Today we have rape, murder and drugs. The Liberal experiment has not work and never will.

  Pigpen First I have to ask what the color of you skin has to do with how much your employer pays you. Do you think that because your white you should be payed more? Just asking. If you are so concerned about how Hollywood putting the “poison apple” in their movies, why do you still support them by buying their product? One last thing. Why do you live beyond you means? I support a family of 4 making less than $12 an hour. We own my home (along with the bank that is). Its not much but its ours. We do not have a TV en every room(only 1 in the living room). One of us is always home to send te kids to school and when they get home from school. We help with homework everyday and question whn we are told we dont have any homework. We also read alot im my house. Its much better than the idiot box (TV). Yes we do these things today even in this economy. Most important, we teach our children morals, how to just be good people.
  
  Mabe you should look into a better job working for a “WHITE MAN” like yourself that will see that you worth more than others because you are a “WHITE MAN”. Are mabe you should just stop blaming others because you don’t know how to spend your money wisely. The way you talk about you employer not being able to pay a “WHITE MAN” a living wage mabe you kids are better of with a public school education.
  
  Guess you noticed I have no tollerance for racist like you.

  Good point, I completely missed he said family of four and not four kids.
  
  That makes my point even more so and adds onto a point someone else said.
  
  What does his skin color have to do with his pay rate?
  
  What do lawyers have to do with his pay rate?
  
  And to whoever said, “I was doing okay until the last four years” I would laugh and say, “yes and who was the President before the last four years?”
  
  You had George W Bush a Republican
  Bill Clinton who enacted Republican policies in his last four years
  George H W Bush who was a Republican
  Ronald Reagan who was an uber Republican
  
  So, for the last 28 years, you were fine with the wealthier getting extremely wealthy, while you took the table scraps, and now you’re going to blame it on a Democrat?

  It is you who is calling what you have table scraps, not me.
  
  I am merely pointing out that it hasn’t been “just the last four years” that the middle class has been suffering like you and Romney act.
  
  It’s been decades of policies that benefit the extremely wealthy more than they do the average person.
  
  When someone says “trickle down economics” I view a family at a table eating food, and tons of people at the bottom of the table eating the food the falls down. Trickle down economics would say, “well hey, if we give the people at the table even more food, logic dictates that even more food will fall to the ground.”

  Moderation…isn’t that rich…meanwhile you support a man that actually takes “table scraps” from some to give to others just for their votes…regarding race…if you think that obama did not win the presidency due to his race…you are dillusional.
  You sound like so many I have heard…the big bad rich man…personally I don’t begrudge anyone their money..if they made it dishonestly…that’s between them and God.
  I am gonna give you an example of trickle down…Our boss has 2500 employees…provides jobs for five communites in my area….has two foundations in his family’s name…surrounds himself and his family with the community…besides the benefits that he gives his employees..which are generous…I see what you guys are saying now…big bad rich man.
  Mr. Romney does indeed seem like one of those too
  Have a nice day moderation…by the way…we are gonna kick obama’s butt in November :)

Then you have 6 kids and cry about how you can’t afford them. then go on foods stamps and cry about how people are on food stamps. Then cry about how big the government is and it’s debt, but take the child tax credit at the end of the years. You all have arse backword ideals and should read a book and a news paper and stop voting against your own best interest. Lemmings…..

  Why do you automatically assume because I speak negatively about Romney, that it automatically means that I’m going to vote for Obama?
  
  I frankly don’t like Romney or Obama all that much, but I also don’t know if I can bring myself to vote for a lesser of two evils.
  
  This is the problem with partisan people. Look at how you people live your life.
  
  You’re either a Republican or you’re a Democrat, no in between
  You’re either a follower of Jesus and worthy of salvation, of your’e not and worthy of hell
  You’re either a diehard capitalist, or a socialist
  
  You live a life of such polar opposites that it’s hilarious.
  
  Of course i”m not demonizing every successful person. I work at a great company that provides benefits for their employees from day 1. That doesn’t change the fact that there have been policies put in place by both Republican and Democratic Presidents/congresses that have increased the income disparity between the extremely wealthy and the middle class/poor.
  
  I don’t begrudge rich people who like nice things but I also just think that having 4 houses, 3 boats and 2 private jets is enough.
  
  It’s just hilarious to me that we can be the wealthiest world in the nation, and yet the majority of people follow a book that says, “It’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, then it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”

  @Pigpen- It’s illegal for your employer to pay you a living wage because you’re white??!! That has to be one of the lamest comments I’ve ever heard. If you don’t like what you’re paid, either get a job somewhere else or learn some skills that make you more valuable. Stop blaming others for your problems. Man up and take responsibility, rather than blaming the law, or your employer, or race.

  I had to babysit an 8 Y/O last week. I asked him what he wanted to watch on TV & he said Star Wars.
  Apparently a cartoon series has been made after the movie franchise. I being an old Star Wars fan, I figure this should be a hoot & I watched it with him. I cannot believe what I saw. I knew George Lucas was a leftest but not a traitor. The story begins with a planet taken over by a Imperial droid army.
  Emphasis on Imperialism.
  A new government & security force has been set up on the planet consisting of the local population. A group of rebels (The heroes of the story) have formed & started hit & run attacks against the new Government, Its security forces & the Imperial droid army that is protecting the energy generator that provides power for the entire planet. The leaders in the new government refer to the rebels as terrorists & have continued to do so throughout the entire episode.
  When the show was over I asked the kid who were the good guys, To my shock he said the terrorists.
  
  FYI.
  Many non Americans refer to America as a Imperialistic nation.

  @PIGPEN Keep doing what you’re doing. You’re a devoted family guy, and then some. Hope you get a raise! God bless.
  
  Now, MODERATIONISBEST: It’s too bad tax payer PIGPEN cannot keep that portion of his own taxes in order to home school and feed his children –or at least have a credit/voucher towards the school of his CHOICE. No, if he’s a typical American parent, he is taxed, and his kids are shipped to the locally assigned indoctrination center to receive a half-baked “education”, which any decent parent then has to spend time unraveling, interpreting, and augmenting.
  
  And BETTERTHANTV: “If you can’t feed em don’t breed em” ==> Wow, nice sentiment. Way to go. These kids (who are ALREADY HERE, by the way) may be directly caring for you in forty years at your retirement home. No matter what, they WILL be taxed heavily to support those on social security…maybe even yours. Be glad someone is bothering to *properly* raise the next generation.
  
  Bad timing and UN-helpful comments, guys. Save it for the irresponsible, directionless, baby mills out there who don’t give a flip about relying on YOUR tax dollars to subsidize their lack of discretion.

  As someone else said, what type of lifestyle does he lead? How big is is house, how many TVs does he have?
  
  There are tons of people who say, “i can’t live on one income” when in reality what they mean is, “I can’t live the lifestyle I want on one income.”
  
  I have some Christian friends who have four kids(two adopted, two by birth) yet they live on one income.
  
  I always love the “indoctrination” argument about schools. Give it up already. Religious people indoctrinate their kids from birth to accept fairy tales as reality, and then when someone tries to teach them oh I don’t know, reality, you cry “indoctrination”

  Ok, “MODERATION”, you wanna squabble, let’s go! (Ironic moniker, by the way…)
  
  Public education has degenerated into mediocre at best, sludgy babysitting at worst. And yes, “indoctrination” is fully applicable in this case. Definition: (and this is just a quick grab from The Free Dictionary….I can provide more, if you like.)
  
  “1. To instruct in a body of doctrine or principles.
  2. To imbue with a partisan or ideological point of view: a generation of children who had been indoctrinated against the values of their parents.”
  
  Yes, in a debate one defines the terms of the argument. You’d like to argue indoctrination? Apparently you support the public schools as an instrument to strip religion from the population (pssst..that’s indoctrination, Mr. Judgmental), and you think religion functions to transfer “fairy tales”. Please elaborate.

  ModerationisBest does NOT understand the argument against modern indoctrination in public schools. Parents want to raise THEIR kids with THEIR principles and values. It’s THEIR kids. Schools should be run by the parents and local communities of the students. However, public schools today want to educate OUR kids with THEIR GOVERNMENT approved ideologies, and don’t care what parents believe, but what the national agenda of the Left is. That’s not REPRESENTATION, that’s COMMUNISM.

  I think pigpen was “trying” to convey that with the way food, gas, heating and wages are right now…it is hard for families to survive…and getting harder…and it does seem that with this diversity equality in the workplace…a man isn’t judged by his performance…its based on his skin or gender…not good!

  Wait, did you just say that we as a nation don’t worship wealth?
  
  Is that a serious statement? I can’t tell.
  
  Our whole country is based on materialism. 70% of our economy is consumption.
  
  In order to consume, you have to have wealth.
  
  You don’t try to maximize profits at all cost because you’re just “fond” of money.
  
  I don’t think you gave an honest answer there.
  
  @Colt
  What are you people babbling about? I went to public school and never heard any teacher say anything about God. Now if you’re saying that you’re upset because teachers can’t peddle their religion to every student in their class, then yes, there is “indoctrination” by KEEPING RELIGION IN THEIR OWN HOME AND NOT SUBJECTING IT ON EVERYONE.
  
  Goodness, you try to keep people from subjecting other people to someone else’s religion, and people yell INDOCTRINATION.
  
  To the other person.
  
  I guess that’s why on the Republican platform for Texas, they opposed critical thinking skills then? Because it undermines parental teaching? Do you really want to be on the side that opposes critical thinking skills? Plus, is the way you view the world so fragile, that exposing your children to reality would shake that viewpoint?
  
  I had tons of Christian friends in high school. 10 years later……they’re still Christians.
  
  I was in an ethics class in college and a team used the Bible to defend why homosexuality is wrong….they got an A.

  Keep praying and keep saying how awesome the power of prayer is.
  
  Then when your prayer goes unanswered, just say, “oh it’s God’s will.”
  
  You win either way, nice setup you got there.
  
  I notice you didn’t give any actual reasons as to why you think I’m “foolish” so I will assume you have no reasoning and just felt like making a claim and backing it up with evidence.
  
  Making claims with little to no evidence is typical of a religious person, so your actions don’t surprise me.

  Our schools today are run by Leftist Unions and structured to mirror that which Stalin and Hitler tried. It’s controlled by radicals who hate our heritage.
  
  EDUCA’TION, n. [L. educatio.] The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.

  My viewing list as far as movies go is lessened daily by various things. With Hollywood as it is, it won’t be long before even the cartoons are corrupted by Hollywood liberalism. I do like your idea on the poison apple but only have one granddaughter that visits us very often and she in already a smart child. I credit my wife with most of her views since the younger granddaughter attended school where my wife taught and the other teachers knew my wife’s christian values and most shared them.

  @GodlovinMom Amen.
  
  “In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed… No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.” Noah Webster
  
  “Finally, let us not forget the religious character of our origin. Our fathers were brought hither by their high veneration for the Christian religion. They journeyed by its light, and labored in its hope. They sought to incorporate its principles with the elements of their society, and to diffuse its influence through all their institutions, civil, political, or literary.” Daniel Webster
  
  Kid cartoons today are mostly dumbed down, immoral and contrary to the word of God.
  
  The only book that can teach moral lessons with such gravity and seriousness in mind is the Holy Bible. No other book, cartoon or textbook has the power to impact the lives of young children with the mutual understanding that we must all act with generosity, honor and integrity for the benefit of society, nor cany any other book cultivate in our hearts a genuine concern for our fellow citizen, nor can any wordly invention establish within our lives the importance of individual responsiblity and our obligation to behave with respect, dignity, love, charity, patience, brotherhood, peace and honesty with our fellow neighbor.

  I would like to apologize for anyone who has misrepresented Christianity to you and caused you to view it in a negative way. However, I would like to encourage you NOT to judge Christianity by the actions of people who claim to follow it but only by what it really teaches.
  What I am saying is that each person, including you, should have a skeptical but curious approach to finding out what each worldview teaches, without being influenced by men.
  
  From what I understand, you have tried to read certain Bible passages and they appear foolish to you, but let me just say my opinion: The Bible WILL appear strange and illogical to any reader unless they begin to comprehend the bigger picture. Like anything we learn in life, we cannot really grasp themby learning random bits of it here and there, we must understand the overall picture.
  Christianity NEVER made sense to me until I began understanding the whole picture.
  
  So what is this whole picture?
  I believe it starts with knowing God, who He is, what He is like, etc… You see, if we could know Him personally like we could know another person, say a husband or a wife, it might provide insight on so many questions, and we would understand why so many things in the world are the way they are.

  In one of your previous posts, some of your claims about polar opposites made a lot of sense.
  However, think about this:
  
  Many people today, much like you seem to be doing, make the assumption that truth is subjective. “Whatever is true for you is yours and whatever is true for me is my truth.”
  This is illogical, it just can’t be this way, because truth is either right or wrong. There are no degrees of it. It MUST be absolute.
  First we must ask: Is there an absolute truth in life? Or is it all just chaotic? We find absolutes in all things in nature, yet when we look at human life it’s very difficult to agree.
  
  What I am suggesting, in effect, is not political. I am suggesting that not all religions/worldviews can be true. More specifically, no TWO religions can be true. I am suggesting that if there is even a very tiny possibility that God really exists and that he became human and came to dwell among us some 2000 years ago, claiming to bring us absolute TRUTH, then I think it might be worthwhile for everyone of us to find out for ourselves if there is a chance that the one who made the world and everything in it might have some answers for us.
  
  I apologize for taking so long. I realize most people are not interested in knowing more about this, so I will stop here. If you would like to know more don’t hesitate to let me know and I would be happy to talk about it with you.
  
  Take care. :)

  I’m not sure how being white has anything to do with what you’re being paid. We still live in a free country where you can change jobs, start your own business, etc.
  
  I homeschool, and my husband is a 3rd year law student. If you’re determined, there usually is a way. I started a small business because we could use the money. It’s not easy. Sometimes I’m up until 4 in the morning working on my business. My business did relatively well last month, so for a “treat” I took my daughter to Wal-Mart to buy socks. It’s worth it though.
  
  We don’t watch too many movies. We have a Netflix account, but my kids are only allowed to watch things that are pre-approved. Right now they’re watching a lot of Wonder Years episodes and playing Super Mario Brothers on the Wii.

  It’s not the people of the religion that turned me off to it.
  
  Mainstream Christianity explicitly says that every human being is born worthy of an eternal torture and that by only accepting a human sacrifice on your behalf can you be saved from said torture.
  
  Christianity aside, I think all religion is hogwash because it’s based around “faith”and “belief”, two things which I don’t base my life around and think I am the better for.

  For those that think that the cartoons haven’t been taken over by the leftist agenda, you’re sadly mistaken.
  
  Please watch the cartoons that your kids are watching. There are several kids shows that I won’t let my kids watch. There are other kids shows that I told them that they had to stop watching because after they started watching them, they started to get a bad attitude about things. Some kids shows teach evolution (which may or may not be okay with you), MANY more slip in things like “climate change”. Some shows I will let them watch, but when I hear them say things that are unbiblical, I will point them out to them… “Is X actually true?” They usually answer correctly, but if they don’t know the Biblical answer, I’ll point that out to them.

  I understand.
  
  In defense of Christianity, I don’t think you understand it fully.
  The ultimate ethic in life is love. That is the supreme ethic. There is no ethic more supreme than love. But necessary to love is the component of the will. You cannot have love without the freedom to not love. Otherwise you have conformity, compliance; you really don’t have love. So if love is the supreme ethic and the freedom of the will is indispensable to love, then the greatest gift of God is the gift of the freedom of our will in order that we can love.
  But with the greatest gift comes the greatest possible calamity: when you violate that love, the entailments actually follow. So both good is reality and evil is a reality.
  
  Concerning judgement, most people consider themselves generally “good”, and assume that if God is good, then he will forgive their shortcomings and human nature.
  If a man is accused of murder and appears in front of a judge and is found to be guilty. He tells the judge: “Your honor, I know I’ve made some mistakes but you’re a good man, and you should forgive me”
  Only a corrupt judge would release a guilty man! You see, it is exactly BECAUSE God is just and good that He must judge all justly. That is His nature.
  God is great and He has provided us a very easy way to find forgiveness outside of our own efforts, which involves His sacrifice and us only making the choice to love Him and come to Him as we are, with all our shortcomin

  Also, Faith and belief in God is so misunderstood if you are foreign to it. People assume it is a blind jump of faith into the unknown, with no communication, no feedback, no changes. Of course if it were so I agree with you it’s kind of crazy!
  
  But about you saying that you do not live by faith or belief; that is impossible!
  Everyone makes assumption and lives by faith in all sorts of areas in life.
  There are countless examples of things we believe, trust and assume without even being aware we are doing so. Everyone has a specific set of beliefs in all areas of life.
  
  Here’s an example I think kind of resembles a person’s faith in God:
  If you marry your spouse, you are choosing him/her and believe him/her to be great for you based on what you know of her character, personality, past choices, etc.. How do you know he/she won’t cheat on you? Because you trust him/her!
  Once you know God, it is quite a similar experience. The faith you place in Him is no greater leap than the one you place on your spouse.
  
  I hope I’m not coming across as trying to force my beliefs on you.
  Blessings :)

  I appreciate your sentiments but your judge analogy isn’t logical.
  
  The judge is being a judge based on actions of the person on trial.
  
  Christianity says that human beings are born worthy of punishment and must accept a human sacrifice on their behalf in order to avoid such punishment. There is no judgement of actions. You are BORN guilty, and must earn your freedom.
  
  I didn’t gain this guilt because of actions done during my life. This guilt was given to me by the actions of Adam and Eve and passed down from there.
  
  Secondly, in your scenario, no “just” judge would let someone else serve the murder’s prison term(Jesus anybody?).
  Thirdly, that judge is subject to laws that are put in place by a consensus of people, and is bound by law to avoid cruel an unusual punishment and is subject to appeals.
  
  All of these don’t apply to your supernatural “judge.”
  
  He is the only judge, there are no appeals, he isn’t bound to avoid cruel and unusual punishment. He also isn’t judging any actions.
  
  There is no, “have you lived a good life? What actions have you done to help people, what have you done to harm people?
  
  No, it’s only “did you accept Jesus as your lord and savior? If yes, you’re saved, if no, then your’e damned.”
  
  Your “judge” analogy only works on a very shallow level. On every other level it’s a disingenuous and not well thought out comparison.

  Wrong again. I go by evidence and until i have the evidence for something, I don’t play “what ifs” and just “assume” things.
  
  I had my appendix taken out a year ago. Did I put my “faith” in that doctor? Not at all.
  
  I had reasonable evidence that he had the skills necessary to do the job.
  
  If he wasn’t a good doctor, he wouldn’t be working at a hospital.
  
  The only time you could say that I put “faith” in somebody is if I were to go to a random nobody with no knowledge of their background and have them take out my appendix. There’s a reason nobody does that….because it’s dumb!
  
  There’s a reason you take your car to a mechanic
  There’s a reason why you go to a doctor for medical issues
  None of it has to do with faith.

  Once again, you make a mistake concerning Christianity. Adam’s sin only caused the relationship between God and man to be broken because very simply put, man is given free will and often chooses to go his own way and do it his own way. From then on, each person is given their own choice to follow God, who has provided a way back to Him.
  
  Please understand, the God of Christianity does not judge anyone based on the sins of others, but based on each individual choices a person makes, and God IS just.
  
  We are all sinners because we just cannot stop sinning. We are all guilty of that, myself just as much, if not more than most.
  I’ll bet you that you know this in your conscience, let me ask you:
  Are you familiar with the Ten Commandments? They are God’s moral standard.
  - Have you ever told a lie?
  - Have you ever used God’s name in vain?
  - Have you ever looked at a woman in lust? Jesus said that was adultery in your heart.
  - Have you ever hated anyone? Jesus said that is the same as murder in your heart.
  
  I’ve broken all the commandments, I’m guilty, and I break them almost every day, as hard as I try not to, I always fail. How can God forgive a liar, blasphemer, adulterer at heart and murderer at heart?
  Yes, God’s law is impossibly morally perfect, and we ALL fall short of his standard. But the beauty is that you don’t need to be perfect, leave that up to Him. That is Christianity.
  Noone is judged for anything else but their own sins.

  The rapture is the most evil act of deception ever perpetrated opon mankind. There is nothing Christian about rapture. The word rapture never appears in the scripture… ever. Our father spoke out against rapture through the prophet Ezekiel (chapter 13) “teach my children to fly to save their souls” Why would anyone, follow something our father has publicly stated he hates (Christian or otherwise) ? If you follow it, you will pay the price, for it is written (Revelation 14:9-10).

  1 Thes 4:13-18 and 1 Cor 15:50-55 is the resurrection/rapture
  
  Tell me, why is Christ called 1st fruit of the resurrection? Have you any Hebraic studies to even answer this? There is a reason why Christ was called this and if you had any knowledge of the ancient Hebraic harvest cycles you would know why that phrase is used specifically on Christ and would understand that the resurrection happens at different periods of time just like the ancient Hebraic harvest

  We (God’s elect) are to testify against the Anti-Christ (6th seal, 6th trumpet, 6th vile/cup) who will stand were he ought not (Temple Mount Jerusalem) proclaiming himself to be God. And THEN shall you see in the clouds the coming of the Lord in all His glory (7th seal, 7th trumpet,7th vile/cup) just as the Book of Revelation proclaims it.. Matthew 24 lists everything this is and is going to happen in the end times.

  Robert Hawk ..Rapture is in the LATIN bible its called RAPTURO in Greek its HARPAZO which means “the great snatch or being forcibly snatched away” A lot of confusion comes because people think Yahshua was teaching of one time coming back – not true. There are TWO separate events. There is a being caught up, snatched away to be with him in the air and then there is a returning with him AFTER…
  2 separate comings. 1 for the bride and 2 with the bride to the whole world.

And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
  
  “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
  
  “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places… For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”

  If you’re going to believe in this theory of a secret rapture, you have to be fair to yourself and answer the following questions:
  
  1) Is God fair?
  2) is it fair to receive rewards or punishment prior to judgement?
  3) When is the judgement?
  
  You can’t receive punishment OR reward without first having a judgement. Are you saying that the judgement will happen prior to the rapture?
  
  Also, we are told that mortal flesh will not enter the kingdom of Heaven. We need our immortal, glorified bodies to enter Heaven. Christians will not receive these until the last trump, at the Second Coming of Jesus / Resurrection. According tot he “Left Behind” scenario, the hidden rapture and second coming are two separate events. So, how do you reconcile the major contradiction with this theology? It just doesn’t work.

The concept of the Rapture theory is due to a mistranslation from the work of an early church father named Irenaeus, Bishop of Lugdunum in Gaul. He wrote a rather lengthy history of the early church and it was from these works that a later church father named Eusebius of Caesarea errantly dated the writing of the Revelation to 96 AD. With this latter date, all manner of error was allowed to flourish in the meaning of this book which culminated with John Nelson Darby, a Plymouth Brethren pastor in the early 1830s.

To answer these errors, I have written a fictionalized version of the events which led up to the great flood outlined in Genesis. It might give people a different perspective as to what will be happening at the end of the age on this planet by seeing what happened in the beginning. Take a look if you desire. There are two books of a five book series already available on Amazon. http://www.thegodprinciplebook.com

Tim LaHaye’s version of events are rife with error and he draws conclusions that are simply not Biblically supported. It may make for a good read (and I read them all.), but a Christian should not give it much in the way of credibility. It just isn’t truth.

  Paul wrote and revealed the mystery of the resurrection/rapture in 1 Thes 4:13-18 & 1 Cor 15:50-55. If you had any Hebraic studies behind you would most likely would not be saying the things that you are.
  
  You do not use contextual studies, types and shadows or Hebraic studies to even make such statements
  
  Just look at Rev 5:9-10 and see the REDEEMED (saved by the blood of Christ) in heaven in white robes from every kindred, tongue, blood and nation all PRIOR to Rev 6:1 and the breaking of the first seal

  Anyone believing in a Rapture, WILL be deceived. It simply is not written in The Bible.
  The antichrist (Satan himself) comes first; (2 Thessalonians 2) at the 6th Trump, 6th Seal, 6th vial.
  Christ returns at the 7th Trump, 7th Seal, 7th vial.
  If you are still in the flesh when a super-natural entity appears claiming to be Christ, he is lying. Simple as that.

  Well we’re all entitled to believe whatever we would like, however I stand by my statement: The Rapture Theory is not supported Biblically. The early church – including Paul – had no concept of such a belief. There is much about history and culture that contemporary Christians dismiss. A well rounded understanding of such history does much to do away with these errors. Look up the term, “gematria” for example. It will help you to understand the mark of the beast.

  It is a relief to see so many other Christians who have been lead out of the darkness that satan has brought about by the so-called rapture, which as stated is not even in the bible. I believe the strong delusion and blindness that it speaks of by Joel the prophet is so apt. They having eyes, see not and having ears, hear not, until they be taken out of the way by the antichrist because they are blinded by their own hardened hearts and blinded for their own protection by God because they are not strong enough to Stand against him. Their spot is not our spot.
  The false ones who crucified our Lord would not see him as messiah. So those who believe in the rapture are being led by false teachers right into satan’s camp, willingly. Sad but true.

  Rev. 5 mentions men in heaven, on earth and below earth. The men in heaven are the souls of those that have either passed away or been slained for the word of God. For the spirit of man returns to God. The spirit of those who trusted in God will be resting in heaven, and of those who denied and didn’t do God’s will be reserved for judgement. Rev. 5 mentions no rapture. When we die, our spirit or soul returns to God, who gave it to us. Rev. 6 mentions the six seals. Concerning the fith:
  
  And when he had opened the FITH SEAL, I saw under the altar the souls of them THAT WERE SLAIN FOR THE WORD OF GOD, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, UNTIL THEIR FELLOWSERVANTS ALSO AND THEIR BRETHREN, THAT >>>SHOULD BE KILLED<<>>AS THEY WERE<<<, should be fulfilled.
  
  During these seals, believers will still be on earth, and not be raptured, but face murder or natural death. These seals do not represent the final judgment of God upon the earth. When Christ comes back, he will gather those dead and alive in Christ, and THEN he will JUDGE the earth in his wrath.
  
  Only AFTER the sixth seal is opened, is it stated, "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

  I’m not sure where to start.Are we commenting on jobs home school or the words of the living lord and savior jesus christ? If we followed the word of christ all this mess would clear up. The battles we are going through are of a spiritual nature. Jesus christ is the only one that can truly make all things right. Friends all i’m trying to say is,times are bleak and end of time as we know it is coming. Your souls are being fought over .Satan does not want you to understand what is happening. He will keep you thoughts on everything but what matters.You soul is what matters.Going to be with christ forever is what matters.The rapture will take place weather you believe it or not. Pigpen i’m not a preacher just one who knows in he’s heart lives will be changed for good or bad.Satan wants world dominance to be like christ,all powerful,all knowing,all everything. Turn your hearts over to christ while there is still time.

  I do believe in the rapture, but I’m not going to be deceived. If the rapture doctrine is a misinterpretation, I’m flexible. It’s not like I believe that I’m going to go through this world without suffering. Just today, I was praying for an unsaved friend of mine, and I said that if my death would help her repent and turn to Jesus, I was willing to pay that for her. I started reading about the Von Trapps about 9 years ago, and after that I read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. That’s not something I look forward to, but if I have to go through it, rapture or not, I pray that God will help me get through whatever he has in store for me.

Christians have had 2,000 years to propagandize the world with their doomsday cult nonsense, yet the “end times” mysteriously fail to arrive. Ironically, the ones who believe in the rapture may have gotten the part of christians’ disappearance from the world right, but for the wrong reasons. Religious belief in general shows signs of decline, so eventually all the christians will disappear through natural means, while atheists take their place and the human species goes on about its business without noticing christianity’s absence. Refer to psychologist Nigel Barber’s ebook, “Why Atheism Will Replace Religion: The triumph of earthly pleasures over pie in the sky “

  @Wayn007 It’s a label that Atheists like to give to themselves to tell the world that not only do they hate God, they are free from all social contracts and restraints except those that they impose on themselves. Truly enlightened.
  
  Much like Stalin and Mao whose “doomsday” cults were actually real, of course they didn’t call them that. They were just breaking a few eggs to make their atheistic utopian omelet.

  Yeppers. He is a BAD choice. Ever since he wound up owing millions of dollars in taxes and virtually broke because he was buying expensive homes left & right (including a castle)…and then blamed it on his accountants & business manager because “Golly Mr. Whipple, I sure never knew you can’t make $1.00, spend $5.00 and wind up without anything leftover.”
  
  The guy USED to be a good actor –if it was in his genre/range– now he takes anything offered to pay off his debt and just goes through the motions. Which is why a movie with ONLY a $15 million budget has to turn to someone like him if they want a “name”…the first 3 movies had a budget of around $4 million each and the first one earned $4.2 million in the US.
  
  I really hope the extra $11 million is going to production…and not to this clown.

  2) How do you suppose the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is a cult? What is it that you know about the church that gives you authority to label them as a cult?
  
  3) If you’re a Christian, why are you so condemning and judgmental in your views that somehow you have all the answers and anyone who disagrees with you will be “left behind”?

Here’s the deal, Hollywood.

You’ve spent the past four years calling those same ‘Christians’, racists, uneducated, selfish and unpatriotic. For all these years, we’ve been telling all of you that you have lost our respect and our loyalty. Your other projects have provided all of you with a ‘come to Jesus’ moment, where you finally began to realize that you actually destroyed the very structure that allowed you all to become very famous and very rich.

So, now, you have decided to make a movie that you assume will draw all of those you stabbed in the heart – back to the silver screen and…you. Sorry, but I wouldn’t waste your money on a project that promotes a Christian way of life. You know nothing about it, and your lack of research skills doesn’t bode well for those of us who would demand a truly historical account…especially from the Bible.

If your new movies star false icons such as Streisand, Redford, Robbins, Sarandon, Penn, Clooney, etc., you probably should market them in Europe. They’d make more there. Hollywood has very little class – or talent left. It is, however, crawling with anger and racism. Sad.

I will refrain from arguing people’s opinions at this point but I will say this. You can accept and believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He came to this world to die for our sins. Accepting this belief will guarantees you eternal life in Heaven, either upon your earthly death or the rapture. Everyone seems to have their own idea of when that will be. But, if it is before the 7 years of tribulation wouldn’t you be sorry you missed out? If it is not, will you then have the spiritual strength to maintain the faith through the tribulation? I believe in pre-tribulation rapture myself. In fact those of us who are raptured will return with Christ to battle Satan and his minions. I personally have many bibles that will be left behind in hopes that those left behind will find them and read them so they can see what they need to do to survive the tribulation and avoid eternity in Hell. These are end times and we are seeing biblical prophecies unfold before our eyes. Those that deny it just don’t know or are lying to themselves. Jesus seeks you, let him in. It makes life so much more pleasant and rewarding even in these trying times.

  Here we go again with Hollywood creating the template for what Rapture is. Of course Jesus said that even in the days of Noah people married and gave in marriage up to and during the flood. You know why? Because the flood isn’t what people think it is. Case in point, when people get caught up in the fear of losing the nation, you’re getting caught up in the flood. Before you know it, you’re carried off.

Death comes like a theif and can take you at any second. Ask Jesus into your heart if you do not know him and if you are a Christian keep up the work and do not take it personal when people scoff and mock you..they did worst things to Jesus Christ my Lord and savior.

  Therefore people brought a flood, and then God brought a flood. People got pulled by the currents of the water that be Television, football, baseball, and anything else that carried you away. But then God first freezes the currents, and suddenly you are where you have settled on the river bed, and then you look. So now you’re looking from where you have stopped rolling. And God help you to help yourself if you’re in the lowest portions of the valleys.

I personally enjoyed the “Left Behind” series – consuming each book in a matter of days. I would love to see the movie/series.

Excellent story and very scary – but still relevant…..indeed, more relevant today than when the books were first written.

I never thought I would see Christianity under attack from our own government. When the democrats booed the idea of putting “God” back into their platform, when they booed the idea of calling Jerusalem the capital of Israel – it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Think about it – a whole Party has turned away from God.

Every year, every Christmas – visceral hatred is on display against Christians. Who leads this charge? The Left. People, this upcoming election isn’t only about Romney vs Obama – it’s much deeper than that. It’s about the Light vs Darkness. In a world where people are literally supporting the killing of a child as it is being born (we are not talking only about the instant of conception folks were the child is not yet recognizable by eye as anything but an egg – we are talking about a viable fetus as it descends down the birth canal….how can anyone snuff that life out and DEFEND it) our choices are crystal clear.

Do we choose Light, or do we choose Darkness. Darkness can hide behind the facade of being “super intelligent”, “reasoned”, “modern” but, at the end of the day, it is still Darkness

  It is alright to enjoy the series as long as you view it as a fictional movie. The left behind series is so anti truth of the bible. For example, having the antiChrist being shot in the head?!!! Where does the bible say that? It says that one of the heads of the beast receives a wound to one of it’s head by a SWORD. We know the sword is symbolic for the word of God. The Left Behind series is why so many Christians are not truly HIS. They will not be ready for purification of the bride of Christ. They will simply fall by the wayside, or, prove that they were never his in the first place. The left behind series is truly a mockery of the truth of the word of God.

  Biblical prophecy is never what was expected. The Rapture may not be as is expected and as this film describes it. The tsunami where almost a million people died in one day on Christmas day may have been the Rapture. Jesus coming was not what the Jews thought. They expected a King in jewels coming who would make Israel the ruler of the Earth.

  Just because the 1st coming of Jesus was not as the Jews expected, it was EXACTLY as what had been
  prophesized. Jesus even rebuked them that they know what signs in the sky mean regarding the weather yet they didn’t know scripture enough to recognize the Son of Man. Actually in ancient times, rabbis did believe there would be two appearings of their Messiah, 1st as a “suffering servant” and then as the KING of Kings..

  I think that if anything is Satan inspired it would be the arguing and name calling that so often happens between Christians when their personal belief on a subject from the Bible is challenged.

Don’t waste your time. The reason the film was so successful was it had a Christian cast. N Cage will be a letdown and a flop especially with his lifestyle. Of course you may get some nonbelievers to go and it might scare them enough that they become believers, so won’t be a waste soul wise but won’t be box office winner.

I think if you are more worried about when the rapture is rather than how many you can help get raptured you are kind of missing the point. If we live with a burning passion for the salvation of all others, including our enemies, than I don’t think it will matter when the rapture occurs.

  As my old pastor used to say “we can discuss pre, mid, post trib, but the mostimportant thing is the Great Commision. Its ok if you dont understand the rapture I’ll explain it to you on the way up.” I always loved that, I think we’ll know at that point.

pre-trib rapture theory is a recent idea – the church and biblical leaders in the past did not believe in pre-trib rapture….That should tell you something

Just like the founders did not believe in progressivism – all you have to do is read the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. If you want to find out about end times, just read the bible – if the theology requires some fancy modern biblical scholar, it is probably a false teaching

  II Thess 2:1
  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him (the rapture)… 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; 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, showing himself that he is God.
  
  What if–
  
  What if the great falling away is triggered by the “church” loosing faith when the rapture doesn’t occur as the Pre-Trib position indicates….
  
  I’m convinced that the Pre-Trib position is straight from the Pit.
  
  Woo unto them that have swallowed this great deception.

  John, the great falling away happened in 300AD when the Roman Catholic church was founded and after the reformation, the protestants, they carried with them the same doctrines that are man made from the Roman Catholic Church. The temple of God is the body of Christ. As in the days of Noah, so is the coming of the son of man, people were eating and drinking and marrying and knew not and the flood came and took them away. Two men shall be in the field, one left, the other taken away.
  We know in the flood that the wicked were taken away, not the righteous as Noah was the only one that was “pure” in all his generations. First, the tares will be gathered into bundles to the burned, then the wheat into the barn.

  2 Thes 2:1-8 is the pre trib rapture. The falling away should have been rendered ‘DEPARTURE’. Look at verses 7-8 which is the same order of events, the restrainer removed then the revealing of the anti christ

The concept of “The Rapture” is or was conjured up to fill a hole in modern man’s imagination as to what happens when…![ fill in the spaces].
Rapture may not even happen, there are many intelligent people with cognitive critical thinking skills that will object to such thought.

Not concerned about it as the movie, same as the Rapture-garbage theory is a man made concoction to the core of its being. There is no rapture, anyone who bothers to research out the origins of the myth will easily conclude it is just that – man made myth by an preacher in England.

  To think God would take children from their parents without any explanation, in such a fashion, is just beyond comprehensible! I cannot even believe they’ll call this entertainment.

  Snow agreed! The rapture theory was never taught until the 1830s I think. The woman that had the dream two preachers ran with even said she felt evil present in the dream. Anti-christ comes first,then the true messiah.

  PEPSICOLA KID not true that rapture was not taught till 1830′s. From Christian Scholar Dr. Chuck Missler’s website this:
  This sermon is deemed to be one of the most interesting apocalyptic texts of the early Middle Ages. The translation of the sermon includes the following segment:3
  
  “For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins.”
  
  This text was originally a sermon called On the Last Times, the Anti-christ, and the End of the World. There are four existing Latin manuscripts (the Parisinus, the Augiensis, the Barberini, and the St. Gallen) ascribed to St. Ephraem or to St. Isidore . Some scholars believe this text was written by some unknown writer in the sixth century and was derived from the original Ephraem.4
  check it out for yourself:

  And his whole study showing that there are 2 COMINGS of Yahshua – not one:

I wonder how Jews in Israel should feel about Christians needing them in Israel only so they can be wiped out in order for prophecy to get fulfilled.

The Left Behind series and rapture theories are Satan’s cleverist invention for causing Christians to be inactive. Who wants to fight all of the evil taking place and causing the world to go into chaos when they think that they will be raptured before the SHTF? People need to actually READ their bibles and let the HOLY SPIRIT teach them and they’d better do it fast.

  I agree completely, the “Rapture’ is a falacy of the devils own creation; a myth that falls apart with even the most basic study of its origins, and especially when compared to the references in the bible of the second coming and the resurrection of the dead in Christ plus the living who will join them.(anyone interested reference: 1 Cor 15 (entire chapter) and 1 Thess 4:13-18)
  
  May God bring enlightenment unto those who hold to salvation by the Rapture, for they endanger their own souls in not being grounded in solid truth of the scriptures and the spirit. How many may be lost for eternity due to the workings of this massive lie?

  If a Christian knew there bible as well as they should they would find out that is impossible to believe anything but a pre-tribulation rapture. I won’t go in any details cause that would take a long while.Please look to Perry Stone Ministries website and go through his program list or try to find one of his books on the subject.Then do your bible study and try to prove your opinions to be correct.I am glad that God only judges salvation on believing that Jesus died for are sins on the cross. Cause Christians have a lot of disagreement on other parts of the bible. Good Day

  I am interested in your thoughts on the subject of Christ coming “in the air” (1 Thes 4:16-18) compared to the events in the book of Revelation where Christ returns “to the earth” as noted in Acts 1:11 and in Rev 19. Do you believe these are the same event? And if one believes in Christ, what does that to do with “salvation by the Rapture?”

  I believe in the preTribulation rapture of the Church. I do read the Bible and I do study commentary from others. I also pray for understanding as I read the Bible. Others will disagree regarding the Rapture, fine. Either way I don’t feel the need to argue the point. As a soul saved born again Christian I will be ready one way or the other.

  If you want to know what really is going to happen the read these links. If you doubt the messages as being authentic then read the “Crusade Prayers” and “Litany Prayers” in full and ask yourself, “How would these prayers benefit Satan, even in the slightest?” The answer is, they wouldn’t and never will. The prayers call for fasting, for conversion, for descent of the Holy Spirit, offering prayers and fasting for lost souls to return to God, for dedicating ones body, mind and soul to Jesus Christ and God the Father. All of these prayers and messages lead to God, not away.
  So again, if you want to know what is approaching then read the messages,

  @FlaBoater:
  
  Christ will return, but his feet will not touch the ground of this old world – look into the scriptures I have referenced, in addition to the ones you site. The saints who are of Christ will join him in the air, as is clearly stated.
  
  Upon him calling for his people, the dead in Christ will awaken from the sleep of death, those who are alive to witness his return in glory (the clouds of glory are the angelic host of heaven coming with him) will be transformed in an instant into an immortal body and soul (same as the resurrected saints) and WE shall join HIM in the air unto paradise.
  
  Scriptural evidence is clear, no rapture.
  
  Yahoo search the topic “Origins of the Rapture theory” and see where it began. Its a man made myth, and I originally investigated it over sixteen years ago to see what it was about.
  
  Everyone reading this who has the question one way or another of the rapture; study it out for yourself and ask God to guide you into the truth, then make your own decision.

  @Snow
  I have studied and struggled over eschatology and am not fully convinced of any particular view.
  
  In Revelation, we see that Satan is bound for a thousand years (figurative-literal, whatever, I’m not concerned with that part). He is bound expressly for the purpose of not deceiving the nations (which typically refers to unbelievers and, in fact, in context obviously refers to unbelievers because when he is released he gathers the nations against God’s people). Yet in the NT we see over and over that Satan is the one who is deceiving unbelievers in their unbelief. (I’ll list verses if you ask, but they’re pretty easy to find.)
  
  My church teaches that Satan is currently bound and his influence is *lessened.* This binding, so teaches my church, prevents Satan from deceiving believers. (my church teaches that we are in the spiritual millennium with Jesus ruling over the Church prior to His second coming) This teaching on the binding of Satan contradicts the teaching in Revelation and the NT, therefore I hold all our eschatology suspect.
  
  How do you deal with the binding of Satan to prevent him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years ends?

  @Snow Leopard You said, “How many may be lost for eternity due to the workings of this massive lie?” Lost for eternity due to a supposed lie about the “Rapture”? Seriously? Now THAT is a massive lie to me. You think that because some believe in the rapture, pre-trib, post-trib, or somewhere in between, that Jesus would take their salvation from them if they’re wrong? Where on earth do you get this teaching, that you would pass this on to others….don’t preach something you can’t prove. It’s not up to you, it’s not up to a teaching, it’s not up to a discussion about the rapture, it’s not up to a rapture or lack of one, it’s not up to whether we believe in a rapture or not. We’ve been bought by the blood of the Lamb, and to those who believe THAT, they have been given eternal life. Eternal life is knowing God and Jesus Christ whom He sent. Eternal life is NOT whether we believe in a rapture or not. Eternal life will not be taken away, it is a gift, not conditional upon our human failings. That would be nothing short of nullifying the death of Jesus on the cross. Is it not enough that Jesus died and was raised again? Is it not enough that Jesus loves us, this we know? Is His GRACE not enough? Or is it that we must believe a certain way about a certain thing that obviously has many disagreeing? God is bigger than that. All I need to know ever is that Jesus loves me, and I love Him. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Don’t trust in your own understanding. It’s
