Rapture Ready Administrators and their backers: Anti-Christ and Pro New World Order Posts

How does gambling, playing occult computer games, keeping silent while Jesus Christ is blasphemed, listening to rock music, defending President Bush's occult affiliations, drinking alcohol, participating in coarse, unclean conversation and unholy jesting and engaging in all kinds of worldliness make a Christian "rapture ready"? It doesn't.

Todd Strandberg's Rapture Ready Ready Message Board, which consistently conditions Christians to partake of these and other sins, has an agenda to make it certain that Christians are not rapture ready. Their stated agenda is the opposite of their actual purpose as evidenced by their message board content. Much worldly and anti-Christian content is backed or ignored by the administration. Either way, the kingdom of God is being undermined, rather than advanced through the individuals who run this message board.

Relativism is the theme of the Rapture Ready Message Board: how a Christian feels while he is participating in behavior that violates biblical principles determines whether it is right or wrong. If he feels comfortable gambling, then he may gamble. If he feels comfortable drinking, then he may drink, if he feels comfortable playing occult computer games or typically sinful movies then he indulges, etc. As long as things don't get out of hand, conforming-to-the-world is promoted as being harmless and rather enjoyable. This is called giving place to the devil, and the Rapture Ready administrators and backers offer plenty of rationalizations to "help" the Christian justify getting off and staying off the narrow way that leads to life.

The Bible describes the grace that brings salvation. This grace teaches Christians to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. These are the Christians who are actively "looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." (See Titus 2:11-13) (Note: This author believes the Lord Jesus Christ will return immediately after the Tribulation.)

The Rapture Ready administrators and backers who condone sinful compromise and worldly lusts—as evidenced through their posts or by their condoning silence while others post in this manner—are not really looking for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. People who choose to live sinful lives after having received the knowledge of the truth are not looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Instead, they are looking for a fearful judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour God's adversaries. (See Heb.10:26,27)

Please guard your heart and do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of the scornful in the guise of "Christian" message boards.

NOTE: Most of the Rapture Ready threads that I linked to for the purpose of documentation have been removed.
