Episode notes
Don't Date The Rapture
- Avoid setting dates for the rapture because Scripture says no one knows the day or hour.
- Live ready at all times and focus on doing God's will daily rather than countdowns.
1988 Rapture Predictions And Aftermath
- He recalled the 1988 book with '88 reasons' predicting the rapture and the following year's reset attempts.
- Such date-setting led to short-term revival but also post-failure drift among some believers.
Oneness Theology Clarified
- Oneness theology emphasizes God revealed in the human person of Jesus, not separate personalities.
- Father denotes God's transcendence while Son denotes God's incarnation as Jesus.
