Wonโt scruple for the name.

Christ Alone
โFor I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.โ
1 Corinthians 2:2
Christ alone is the answer to the ills of our world.
Education, activism, and good causes cannot change the wicked heart.
We aren't called to win the world's applause or clean up its surface problems. We're called to preach Christ, live by His Word, and point sinners to the cross.
The world may call us fools, but Christ is coming to judge the world and His desire is that men turn to Him and be saved.
Christ alone. Grace alone. The cross alone.

How do you know that you are truly born again?
The Bible does not teach that assurance rests on how consistently you perform, how many mistakes you make, or whether you have reached some arbitrary level of Christian maturity.
Your assurance rests in Jesus Christ.
If you have trusted Christ as your Savior, you have passed from death unto life. You are not saved because you have become perfect, you are saved because Christ is sufficient.
At the same time, the new birth produces a changed life.
โTherefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.โ 2 Corinthians 5:17
A believer can stumble. A believer can backslide. A believer can struggle with sin and weakness.
If you have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, you are saved. Your salvation does not depend upon passing an arbitrary test or reaching sinless perfection.
Look to Christ. Trust His finished work.

HOW ERROR WORKS
ONE. Men hold a superficial or complacent view of the truth regarding a doctrine or subject.
TWO. Men read a polished presentation that presents the "truth" in contrast to what they were taught was the truth.
THREE. Men are convinced by the polished presentation that the "truth" is indeed the truth.
FOUR. Men convinced by the polished presentation of the "truth" regard themselves as already having weighed both sides. Consequently, they refuse to actually read any well-written challenges to the "truth." So the "truth" goes unchallenged.
FIVE. Men convinced of the "truth" will find out at the judgment seat of Christ how badly they dropped the ball. They will discover that they ran roughshod over the historical-grammatical hermeneutic and tossed the scientific method in the dumpster.

Post-tribbers often appeal to 2 Thessalonians 2 as proof of a post-tribulation Rapture, but that isnโt what the passage says.
Paul says, โBY the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and BY our gathering together unto himโ (v. 1).
The word โBYโ is a preposition used in petitions. The โBYโ phrase gives us the ground or REASON for the petition.
Then verse 2 says the โday of the Lordโ is โat hand.โ The Greek enestฤken means is here, is present.
So Paulโs point is not, โYou cannot be raptured until the Antichrist is revealed.โ
He is saying: Donโt worry that the Day of the Lord is here.
Verse 3 gives the conditions for that day: the falling away and the revelation of the man of sin.
The passage DISTINGUISHES the Rapture โour gathering together unto himโ from the Day of the Lord.

COMPLAINT
Paul is beseeching them by the rapture that they be not worried about the day of Christ BEING AT HAND (don't change that wording. It changes everything the passage is saying). For THAT DAY (day of the Lord) shall not come except the falling away or Departure happens first. The day of the Lord also can not come except the man of sin be revealed.
ANSWER
I will change the English translation if the Greek grammar demands it. I am not married to the KJV translation or any other English translation.
The verb is verse 2 is enesteken, the perfect of enistemi. Anyone can examine the fuller lexicons or dive into actual Koine usage or NT usage and see that the finite verb enesteken means "is here" or "is present" and its participle forms mean "here" or "present." The translation "at hand" is misleading if we think "over the horizon" but tolerable if we understand "on the doorstep." The context sides with the translation "present" or "here" for the context is the fact that the Thessalonians feared that the persecution they were enduring was the last days tribulation persecution. They thought they were in the tribulation (the day of the Lord). The translations of the modern versions which go down the path of "has come" are correct. They say essentially the same thing as "is present." If the day of the Lord has come, then it is here. The weakness of this translation is that it allows for the notion that the day of the Lord has come and gone, a notion which the Greek forbids.
The ellided verb in verse three must be supplied, and it ought to be supplied with the same tense and sense as verse two if we would follow the standard practice of Classical and Koine Greek. That means verse three should be "Let no man deceive you by any means for that day is not here unless the apostasy has first happened and the man of sin has been revealed." The translation of the perfect with present sense (is here) or the perfect sense (has come) as a future (shall not come) is a bad translation which gives a completely wrong sense.
Anyone actually familiar with Koine grammar in general and the usage of enesteken in particular will admit the force of what I have written. I have not changed the word of God. I have better translated it. The passage does not teach that the antichrist will precede the day of the Lord. The passage teaches that the antichrist is the preeminent sign that the world has entered the time of the dawning of the day of the Lord (the tribulation). If we honestly believe and practice the historical-grammatical hermeneutic, then let us follow correct Greek grammar, correct Greek verb translation, correct Greek ellipsis supply, and correct contextual analysis.

QUESTION
If we can eat any kind of meat in this age without restrictions, can we also eat blood? Is that restriction removed too?
ANSWER
No. The meat restrictions were part of the Mosaic Law given to Israel. Christians, that is, those who believe in the Messiah, are free from the law by dint of faith in Christ. They are no longer under the dietary restrictions of the Mosaic Law. The blood restriction, however, while mentioned in the OT, is not exclusively Mosaic Law but rather generic abomination. The bans on generic abominations are repeated in Acts 15 at the Jerusalem Council. These generic bans are still in effect.

When Does Wrath Begin?
The arrival of the fullness of wrath, or absolute wrath, occurs at the Second Coming. This is known as the great and terrible day of the Lord.
The entire Tribulation is the time of the dawning of wrath, the dawning of the Day of the Lord.
This period of time is characterized by the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3) and the judgments of the book of Revelation. The Antichrist himself is a judgment. He characterizes the dawning of the Day of the Lord. He is a great delusion sent by God to condemn those who refuse to believe.
The Rapture is the morning star of the Day of the Lord. It is the first indication given to the world that the Day of the Lord is on the doorstep.

There is no devil, no power, no principality in the universe that can stand between you and what the Lord has called you to be and do, for it is God working in you to will and do his good pleasure." This serves as a reminder that your purpose and strength are supported by God's own work within you.
