How can I prove something to someone, if he or she does not believe what the Bible says?
I have a friend who insist that the doctrine of the rapture started
as the result of a vision by a Scotish girl by the name of Margaret McDonald in the spring
of 1830. Do you know where I can find out when this doctrine started to be taught? Let me
say now that I am a pre-tributlational rapture believer because I believe that this is
what the Bible teaches. What I would like is something to open the eyes of my friend.
Something that proves that this Biblical teaching start much earlier.
I have never heard this excuse from anyone, as to
why he would not accept the teaching of the Pre-Tribulation, Pre-Millennial Rapture, but I
would not worry about using outside sources to prove what the Bible clearly teaches. There
is nothing as powerful as Bible verses to prove the truth. Hebrews 4:12 says, "For
the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
