The Cop-Out of the Pre-Tribulation Rapturists: Difference between revisions

=== The Spiritual Cop-Out ===

One of the greatest dangers of the '''pre-tribulation rapture doctrine''' is that it '''creates complacency''' among Christians. Many adherents believe:

- ''“The Antichrist isn’t my problem, I’ll be gone before he shows up.”''

- ''“I don’t need to worry about the Mark of the Beast, that’s for the ‘left-behind’ people.”''

=== A Doctrine of Passivity ===

Because they believe they will be gone, '''pre-tribulationists fail to prepare''' in crucial ways:

1. '''They ignore spiritual endurance''' – Instead of developing the faith to withstand tribulation, they assume they won’t need it.

2. '''They avoid biblical prophecy''' – Many refuse to study the deeper aspects of Revelation and Daniel, assuming it does not concern them.
