Abide in Christ, or in sin

Christ is not a vine of sin...Galatians 2:17...But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners...

Christ's righteousness has been imputed to us (2 Cor. 5:21). We abide in him (1 Jn 2:17).

[Paul did not preach grace is given as a license to sin] Those who have trusted the Lord believing 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV are not identified as "unrighteous" as we have the righteousness of God upon us (Romans 3:21-22 KJV)...

If that's true, you're living it (Ro 8:14).

[post to heir ] There is only One Vine= Christ, there is only One Olive tree= Israel, there is only One Root to that One natural Olive tree, which is Christ. If you do not belong to it,(which you don't by your own confession) then you have no life in you by not being connected to the Life of the Vine, or Root of the natural Olive tree.

The time of the grafted in branch is ending. Make-believers aren't going in the rapture. Good luck in the tribulation.

There is no pre tribulation rapture...

Lk 21:36

Not all will sleep (1 Cor. 15:51; 1 Thess. 4:15, 17), dead in Christ will rise (1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Thess. 4:13, 14, 16), living to be transformed (1 Cor. 15:51–53), saints caught up (1 Thess. 4:16, 17).

Is there going to be a tribulation?

Has he read the bible? Wrath is for God's enemies. 1 Thess 5:9

[Ps 2:12]  

"The urgency of their submission is expressed by the suddenness of his wrath. It is not immediately clear whether this wrath is the Lord’s or the king’s. The nearest antecedent is the king (the son) who will smash opposition (Ps. 2:9). However, in the psalm the two persons are inseparable; a person serves the Lord (v. 11) by submitting to his son (v. 12). If the nations’ kings do not submit, the king will destroy them, because the Lord in angry opposition to their plans has decreed that His son will have the throne.


The final note of the psalm expresses blessing for those who take refuge in Him. (The thought of taking refuge in God occurs many times in the Pss.) Again, to submit to the son is to take refuge in the Lord’s anointed, and therefore in the Lord as well. Only in the son is there safety from the wrath of God." Ross, A. P. (1985). Psalms. In J. F.

[Is 54:8]

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee [Isa. 54:7].

"In that day not only Israel, but all of us are going to look back at what we thought was terrible down here in this life, and it will seem as Paul described it “a light affliction, which is but for a moment.” And it will work for us an “exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” We need to get our eyes focused on things which are not seen rather than things that are seen (see 2 Cor. 4:17–18)."

"54:1–17 JERUSALEM: RESTORED AS A WIFE Israel was exhorted to “break forth into loud and joyful song” (54:1) for her punishment was past. Now the nation could anticipate blessing and prosperity. Israel’s rejection was necessary because of sin, but it was temporary because of God’s covenant promise. See Genesis 9:11 with reference to Isaiah 54:9. These verses await their complete fulfillment in the messianic kingdom (Isa. 54:11–17)." Hughes, R. B., & Laney, J. C. (2001). Tyndale concise Bible commentary (p. 267).
