I'll take that as an affirmation that your quote from Cyprian was completely taken out of context, and in no way, shape, or form supports Darby's rapture.
Nope.
He concedes that he is a habitual liar:
Joseph Mede (
1586-1638)
In regard to the rapture, Mede writes:
"I will add this more, namely, what may be conceived to be the cause of
this RAPTURE of the saints on high to meet the Lord in the clouds, rather than to wait his coming to earth....What if it be, that they may be PRESERVED during the Conflagration of the earth and the works thereof, 2 Pet.3:10, that as Noah and his family were preserved from the Deluge by being lift up above the waters in the Ark; so should the saints at the Conflagration be lift up in the clouds unto their Ark, Christ, to be preserved there from the deluge of fire, wherein the wicked shall be consumed?" ("The Works of Joseph Mede," 1672, London edition, Book IV, p.776)
Tet., "Rapture" does not really mean "rapture," just as "land" does not really mean "land," and "nation" really means "church," and this guy above, he was being symbolic, when he says "to meet the Lord in the clouds," as "clouds" is used symbolically many places in the bible, uh, urr, you see....Hyperbole...Figurative...
Now, punk:
Show us, before you came along who taught, what you "teach" on TOL, before you, including this "Roman army was the second coming," and "AD 70-ism."
I'ved asked you this for over 2 years, over, and over, punk. "Why are you running, and hiding?"(his cutie pie saying).
Pathetic wimp.
I will take that as a concession that you made up this "Roman army is Christ" "invention, and that the pope is infallible, and that the Lord Jesus Christ is some disembodied spirit, not a man, today.
That is satanism, Craigie.
And TOL has already taken your concession that you are a sodomite.
