Last Season?

I want to talk about the confusion of these end days.

What is happening with the Christian faith right now has to be confusing to anyone new to faith in Jesus Christ, to be totally honest I believe that it is extremely confusing to just about any Christian who is seeking the truth in todays world!

This confusion is, of course deliberate! 

Unfortunately, we have been so programmed, so brainwashed into believing certain specific doctrines or Biblical viewpoints that anyone who dares question these narratives is automatically treated as some kind of demonic outcast despite the fact that Jesus himself told us to ask questions! Matthew 24 "Take heed that no one deceives You" You literally cannot obey this command unless you ask questions! LOTS of questions!

I mentioned before that there are 4 main Christian camps. 1 the pre-tribulation rapture believers who are basically tuned into parts if not all of the Darby Scoffield aka Jewish propaganda Bible designed to draw people away from Jesus. This viewpoint has evolved into several variations. 

2 the mid tribulation rapture believers, basically a somewhat different variation and I say this because it follows the same timeline as the pre-tribulation view with variations and the same is true of

3 the post tribulation believers.

This leaves number 4 the people who believe that we are in the little season and even in this camp there are variations!

The problem that I have with all of these camps is this: Every single one of these viewpoints arrives at their conclusions by ignoring something else in the Bible!

For example all three of the first camps rely on a viewpoint that suggests that Jesus lied to his disciples when he told them that some of them would still be alive when he returned, among other things! 

While the little season camp completely ignores things like the fact that there is no historical record (at least that I am aware of the Euphrates River having dried up before among a host of other things listed in the book of Revelation!

The list of things being ignored by all of these groups is so extensive that I could probably fill up this entire article with this alone!

Which I am not going to do, I am sure that if you really dig into you can find plenty more on your own.

Maybe this is just me but I do not seem to view the Bible in the linear way that the rest of the world seems to.

Please bear with me here this article is going to be a full-blown battle to write and might take me days to finish, it has  been fighting me since I wrote out the outline!

Anyway: To my way of thinking the Bible only makes sense if you read it as a multi-dimensional book with lots of different dimensions all spanning the entire aspect of human existence! 

The best example of this is that things which Jesus taught way back then are just as pertinent today as they were then!

I have been milling over the various different viewpoints for some time now in an attempt to merge these different perspectives into something that actually makes sense because for any of this to truly make sense then we must be missing something, which brings me back to the beginning!

I realize that all of these different people pushing their own viewpoint genuinely believes that they have arrived at the answer, but I honestly do not/cannot believe that anyone has all of the answers and that claiming that you do is an extremely narcissistic attitude!

Everyone doing this likes to scream "read your Bible" while ignoring things in their own Bibles!

The main thing that really bothers me is that all of these people who demand that they are right, usually without so much as considering the other point of view is in essence calling anyone with that point of view a liar!

Which is not a Christian attitude!

Christians treating each other as enemies is pure evil and only serves the enemy! 

Consider this when listening to someone spouting a narcissistic viewpoint in which only their view is valid!

Anyway, as far as I can tell all of these various viewpoints have scriptural support that supports at least some of their doctrinal views as well as historical evidence as well in some cases and that begs the question "how can this be?"

I have said before that I believe that our most merciful and loving God meets us where we are, within our own limited understanding. Some of us have a more advanced understanding than others but that does not give any of us the right to treat our Christian brothers and sisters with contempt!

Quite frankly I am sick of seeing this attitude of contempt within the Christian community! IT SHOULD NOT EXIST!

God doesn't do this so where do we get off thinking that we are somehow justified to act in this manner?!

I want to mention near death experiences that people have had because I firmly believe that all of this fits together somehow and I think that I might have figured out how... at least in part!
