Who is Chuck Missler?
|
|
much thanks to Chuck Missler for this pearl of wisdom. the one who prefigures the rapture is actually Noah's great grandfather Enoch. He's the one who "walked with God and then was no more because God took him". Noah actually prefigures the portion of the church who will come to faith after the rapture and be preserved through the tribulation. and also, Christ states that no one knows when the rapture et al will take place. |

He may teach things from the O-Testament that relates to the N-Testament which Is Good.
Most will teach Man-made salvation ideas because of here 2nd. Cor,11 v's 14-15, once saved always saved, no works salvation, the sinners prayer etc just to get your money. These men dont care for peoples souls. |

Pretrib Rapture Trivia
Who's the "Protector of the Principality of Pretribulatia"?
Edward Irving? John Darby? C. I. Scofield? Tim LaHaye? Someone else?
Media figure Joe Ortiz knows the answer. It's in his "End Times Passover" blog. The one dated Dec. 29, 2009.
If you're Calvinist, you're predestined to see his blog. If you're Arminian, you can choose to see it.
It will be too late to find out the answer to the above trivia question if the rapture happens! |

Chuck Missler is a very smart individual. He usually thinks and talks over most peoples heads, including mine. The Bible doesn't really talk of the rapture. Read Matt. 13:24,30 then 36, 43. Like in the days of Noah. He wasn't taken from here, the evil ones were. It'll be that way till the end of the tribulation. The evil ones will be thrown in the fire and christians will be kept here with the Lord.Matt. 24:37,39. 40-42 says one will be taken and the other left. most people have that backwords. The evil ones will be taken and thrown in the fire not those of us in Christ. |

This man is a false teacher, he promotes a false gosple. And is blind as a bat. He even speak against the rapture of the bride
of Christ. Which the bible speaks of in detail. And also is spoke of by Christ.
And in revelation. You should hear him LOL. |

Chuck Missler is a respected lay bible expositor who specializes in in-depth study, with focus on biblical prophecy. Note: Chuck has never presented himself as an evangelist or pastor.
He is a graduate of the US Naval Academy and Navy veteran. He entered the civilian business world and made a name in Southern California tech industry.
For over 20 years, he donated his personal time as a bible study leader in homes and college campuses in that area, eventually becoming a popular regular teacher at Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, under the pastoral guidance of Chuck Smith. During this time thousands upon thousands of his study lectures were distributed on audio cassette through Firefighters for Christ. |

Bruce, I agree with you ...doesn't help when I was too lazy to apply scripture within 125 word post either ...will clarify later with scripture |

Rhonda,
It could very well be that it's just too early in the morning for me: but I can't make heads or tales of the correlation between what you've written and what you actually mean.
Could you elaborate so I (perhaps others) can grasp the message you're attempting to impart to Wyndell?
Are you saying there is or is not a rapture?
Are you saying the Greek word "harpazo" is not used in the Bible?
Are you saying that Christ is dumb-as-dirt or is He just ignorant of the timing?
Though your "remnant" explanation is relatively accurate (in that context), I'm confused on the rest of it, Rhonda. I can imagine Wyndell might be, too. |

---BruceB on 5/3/09 |
I am sorry, but!
I will never criticize a person who "may be" a vessel that God is speaking through.
A BIG WOW!
It must be said!
And I like the man! |
|
---TheSeg on 5/2/09 |
"Remnant" that is left behind. To be left behind means someone had to leave first doesn't it
****
they are left behind? where does it say they are left behind you have IMPLIED this
rapture isn't in Gods Holy Word either BTW
interesting how antichrist rapture theory IMPLIES MANY idea's yet DISMISSES Christs WARNING that tells Christians to WATCH and pray
there would be no warning by Christ stating to be "watching" if Christ is going to snatch you away ...would seem Christ didn't know what he was talking about per misguided "rapture" theorists |

There's a difference between attacking Chuck and attacking his teachings. I don't read 'Chuck Missler's a no-good, blah, blah, blah?' anywhere.
Homeland Security's theory is someone who believes in the "second coming" could be a terrorist. What if one disagrees with that "theory"--is one attacking the US? (Napolitano could be tellin' the truth: or not. You decide.)
BTW: If one believes what was taught in Sunday school... I suspect it's high-time one starts readin' the Bible. |

---BruceB on 5/2/09 |
Why would you not believe in the rapture of the church, when the Bible clearly states that his followers will be spared from the wrath and judgment of the tribulation.
And if there is no Rapture then why is there a mention of of a "Remnant" that is left behind. To be left behind means someone had to leave first doesn't it.
"Chuck Missler starts off most of his teaching sessions by proclaiming Acts 17:11." He usually closes with "Don't believe what I am saying, study it yourself".
Why attack him for having an opinion other than what we were taught in Sunday School.
I will never criticize a person who "may be" a vessel that God is speaking through. |

Well, Dave:
I'm glad to hear you gotcha some sorta insight into scripture. Could ya do us poor flounderin' imbiciles a favor, though, and point those "facts" of yours out with some Bible references: you know, so we can learn, too?
Feel free to use any version you want. We ain't that picky 'round here. In fact, since you ain't too hot on the value of Bibles, you can use any other book you want--long as it wasn't written by Hitler: know what I mean? Yeah: I think you know exactly what I mean... just like I know exactly what you mean.
BTW: Kinda late to the party, ain't ya? LOL
BTW #2: There is only one Book of God - the true God, that is.
BTW #3: Great MOD work around here. |

In responce to Laurie and BruceB comments. 1st regarding the Jews as special. Tell me where are these Jews, after all they fled/dispersed into Europe & changed their names. Their bloodline isn't pure. Lots of Jews are converts? Who are these special people? The answer is nobody can trace their bloodline back that far. Nobody can prove who the Jews were.
Then there's this Tribulation business. Get real. Your talking about what jesus will and won't allow to the church. Whoa! Look around you the church is a mess.
"We're not told alot about how our bodies become immortal...." There are lots of text available on that subject. The problem is you'll never read it because you believe there is only one book of god. |
|
---dave on 4/17/09 |
It's clear that we live in a world where many people judge others while not knowing all the facts. Chuck Missler starts off most of his teaching sessions by proclaiming Acts 17:11. If you stay in the word and are saved, you will have no problems discerning fact from fiction. That's the funny thing about the bible. The more you grow in Christ, the more the Spirit reveals to you. If you are still in the milk of the word, then the Holy Spirit will not give you a piece of meat to choke on. Now is the time for
"Christians" to worry about one mans credentials, Jesus'. Do you not see time is short? Believers in Christ should press on until he comes. Feed the lambs and the sheep. God bless you and tell someone about Jesus. |

Ann J,
Ya know, Chuck has this idea that just as in the days of Noah, and Lot, that the "aliens" are gonna be workin' to do in those pseudo-Christians who got left here. You know, the "unrepentant" ones.
I guess it's so much easier to "sell" the idea no Christians are gonna be around to get "alienated" than to simply tell them the truth, which is that 'as in the days of Noah and Lot' mean exactly what they say: "They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all."
Humans are more than capable of evil - without demons or "aliens" to fill any gaps. |

I too believe the church WILL go through the tribulation and not be zapped off beforehand! When Jesus returns, every eye will see him - and he isn't going to have a practise run on the side!
As a teacher and student of theology I am disturbed by the way Chuck presents his beliefs as indisputable facts.
Let's be like the Bereans and study the Bible for ourselves. The Holy Spirit is only too eager to inspire us if we keep an open mind.
Perhaps I'm different from most, but I prefer to think things through for myself, allowing God's Word and the Holy Spirit to guide me.
So bless you, Chuck! None of us is perfect - we're all still learning - and so are you!

BruceB,
It's not my job to change your mind, nor yours to change mine. God can change whoever's mind needs changing.
Ready for the Tribulation, well, those are brave words, but... Peter thought he could stand up to anything, too.
My point about the Jews being special was if God decides Jews, Christians, or individuals, are special, who are we to decide they're not? That's a poor argument against the Rapture, as is the idea that Satan wants people to believe this.
Most who hold to the Pre-T view believe that to be left behind means their repentance wasn't genuine, not that the Bible lied. So their repentance would probably get genuine pretty doggone quick. |

---Laurie on 3/9/09 |
Laurie,
Why is it every interchange with you leaves me wondering what you actually read of my words?
There's no point in arguing. You are NOT going to hear what I'm saying, and that's OK - and I surely will not reverse my reading of the word.
I hope, for your sake, that things turn out to be in your camp. And, if I get to go early, you'll be correct, and I'm not going to complain. But, if you're wrong... I'm prepared for it.
BTW: If your last comment is to imply that somehow I am Anti-Semitic, it's a poor attempt. I never said Jews weren't God's chosen people or weren't special - I asked why you think "Christians" are. (that's rhetorical)
Be well. |
|
---BruceB on 3/9/09 |
I've never heard of him but will look him up. Just wanted to say that one thing that even false teachers do for me is cause me to "study to show" myself "approved" and to sort out/confirm my own beliefs as they form from the Word of God (Bible). I will spend some time researching this man since he is brought up here. I am sure I will gain from it because God's Word never returns null and void. Teaching carries a high price. Much is required of one like this man. |
|
---jody on 3/7/09 |
BruceB,
Why are the JEWS God's chosen people, what makes THEM so special? If God says they're special to Him, we just have to accept that. It's not because they're better than anyone else, and it doesn't mean He doesn't love the rest of us.
Out of 12 disciples, 3 had a closer relationship with Jesus. King David was called a man after God's own heart.
When those left behind see destruction, they will be forced to cry out to God. Rev. says a multitude will lose their lives for their faith (see Rev. 7:9-17). Only the 144,000 Jews will be protected during this time (see Rev. 7:3-8). As I said, the Tribulation deals specifically with the Jews and unbelievers, a multitude of whom repent. |
|
---Laurie on 3/6/09 |
BruceB,
In Revelation chapter 5 a scroll is given to Jesus and He begins to break the seals. The ensuing destruction causes a multitude to repent, and these Tribulation saints are martyred for their faith.
Paul tells us that before the Tribulation begins the Church is raptured, which explains why these saints don't go straight to heaven. Whereas Christians were His witnesses during the Church age, now the 144,000 Jews are given this work. This is an amazing thing, because the Jews didn't do a great job the first time and rejected their Messiah.
What surprises me is how people have been convinced this is an evil end time view. That is a gross over-statement. |
|
---Laurie on 3/6/09 |
BruceB,
John said "It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them."
Jesus said "... on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it."
I don't believe Jesus lied, the difference between Tribulation saints and Church saints is that during the Church age, Christians put their faith in Jesus without seeing any proof and the Tribulation saints don't come to faith until they see the destructive end time events.
OT saints did not receive the Holy Spirit and went to Abrahams Bosom until after Jesus' sacrifice. The Tribulation saints will not receive the Holy Spirit either and after being martyred will have to wait (see Rev. 6:9-11). |
|
---Laurie on 3/6/09 |
Laurie,
"Satan is given permission to overcome the saints..."
Physically - not spiritually! The war against the saints is a literal, physical war.
Did Satan not kill the Apostles ond other early-church members? Hasn't he had many Christians killed? Why would you think the later-church would be immune from similar efforts of his? Why would you think the end-time saints are something special compared to all other Christians? And how are there going to be "new" Christians in the end, if the Holy Spirit is gone?
What will "Christians" think when they find out that Jesus "lied" (He didn't) about what would happen to the Church? Many will lose faith. Satan's counting on it. |
|
---BruceB on 3/6/09 |
BruceB,
Let me start by saying I've read the Bible too, several times.
The Pre-T Rapture is simply a matter of God's Timing and Plan.
The Tribulation will be a time unlike any other in human history. The clock starts ticking on the seventh week predicted by Daniel, Satan is given permission to overcome the saints (which Jesus promised would NOT happen to the Church), and God will bring His Wrath against unbelievers.
The Tribulation deals specifically with God's unfinished business with the Jews, and unbelievers. This is why it makes sense that God would remove His Church before it begins.
We're not told alot about how our bodies become immortal, but I'm pretty sure it's better than science fiction. |
|
---Laurie on 3/5/09 |
Laurie,
Of course, there's a rapture. It just doesn't happen before the Tribulation.
All those accounts you cite are absolutely true. The only thing is... they were NOT taken to heaven in their "natural bodies". They were (and are to be) "translated", which is the same thing which will happen at the "rapture".
"Beaming up" is what I, personally, refer to as that science fiction fable that God is going to take His "live" (and dead) human church out of here (they are so much more "worthy" than their dead ancestors were?) BEFORE they are subjected to the Anti-Christ.
They will not be subjected to the Wrath of GOD (which is not Satan's wrath, BTW.) |
|
---BruceB on 3/4/09 |
I keep hearing the Rapture being referred to as being "beamed up". The Bible speaks of several men who were/will be taken up to heaven alive, in the flesh, Enoch, Elijah, Jesus, the Two Witnesses in Rev. Are these accounts straight out of science fiction?
If anyone can explain why we shouldn't take these accounts seriously I'd like to hear it, otherwise there's no reason I can think of not to believe that when Paul said "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord", he meant exactly that. |

---Laurie on 3/4/09 |
I notice the naysayers here seem to have the "I'm against anyone who writes books and has the audacity to expect people to pay for them" mentality. They need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Even those who don't charge are getting the money to support their ministries from somewhere, it's not coming out of their own pockets. Some ministries offer books and materials at no charge, but someone had to pay for them.
Does God only call upon rich people to write books? Does He expect people to bear the cost of time spent writing, studying and researching, getting the book published, distribution, shipping, etc., with no reimbursement?
Do you get all your books for free? No? Then be reasonable. |
|
---Laurie on 3/4/09 |
I'm pretty sure Chuck Missler believes, and I know he teaches, that all "Christians" will get "beamed up" before the "7-year" Tribulation.
In light of that, I question everything other thing he says, even though he uses scripture as his base.
As to making a living: who here believes it is a sin to make a living, even using the written Word? I think he's wrong in his teachings. That doesn't mean he's a thief. Besides, the Holy Spirit will deal with him as He sees fit: not as we see fit. |
|
---BruceB on 3/3/09 |
I think if one is to determine whether or not someone is a false teacher, they should compare what he says to what the Word tells them. And honestly, I have not found a teacher who teaches more directly from the Word than Chuck! |
|
---Michael on 3/3/09 |
I have heard everything he has to say. I have studied everything he has to say, like a Berean. He is solid in my book. Men with knowledge earn it, therefore have the right to sell it. Those to who refuse to learn themselves or study like a Berean will never understand that. They will forever complain about who is making money or books, we will forever be in prayer for all! |
|
---Rod on 5/20/08 |
First of all, I know Chuck and Nancy personally, and they deffinately do not use their ministries for financial gain. Chuck has one of the most brilliant minds on planet earth, keep an eye on up and coming UN meetings. Regarding his understanding of the Bible, he'll start a conference with a statement like "don't believe anything I say, look it up in the Bible like the Bereans" Regarding promoting biblical teachings, Chuck's primary products are expositional studies and study guides. |

Hello, I uderstand your skeptical in regards to Chuck Misslers teachings. I study the Word of God all day long and I can assure you that no heresy comes from Chuck Missler. He one of the few left that actually sticks to teaching what the Bible says. I have so much material on him and I haven't hear ANYTHING heretical in regards to doctrine or periferal issues. He is worth checking out. No false prophets here. |

DearShirl&"The Seeker"-I value&believe in ChuckMissler's teachings.His site is found by 'Googling' "Koinonia House"He has archives of spoken radioprograms -"66/40"- aswellas lotsoftext to read. He himself-like the Biblical Bereans - says *NOT* to believe him, but to read scripture for yourself to see if he is true.He also usually highlights points where you may disagree.His ministry certainly *DOES* promote Biblical teachings! *Checkhimout*!God bless you all! - Bruce Noel G. |

Chuck Missler's goal is to create and distribute reading and listening materials that inspire and encourage people to passionately study the Bible on their own. He believes that the Bible itself is the inspired Word of God. He believes that Jesus Christ was God Himself in the flesh. And he believes that Christ died AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD to pay the penalty of our sins. |
|
---Joshua_P._Allem on 7/31/06 |
Chuck Missler ROCKS! He inspires enthusiasm and a desire to learn MORE about the Bible. It is up to each person to do their OWN Biblical research, but it is heartening to listen to someone with so much excitement about the word of God. He has inspired me to begin writing the Bible in my own handwriting. I hope to hear him speak in person one day. |

Chuck Missler is a kook who turns out books faster than Tim LaHaye. His perceptions of the end times and other global politcal and social things is suspect at best.
Sadly, most who will read his stuff, do not bother to do some reading of their own.
Just because you may have a good bio, does not mean you know your Bible well.
Missler abuses the trust that Christians simplisticly place on too many of their leaders. Always follow the money and ask why. |
|
---Lee on 2/23/06 |
Chuck Missler? The best bible teacher I have heard. I cannot understand why anyone should imply that he is some kind of false teacher. I would respectfully ask you to actually listen to his teaching before criticising. He preaches the gospel without pulling punches,has a deep grasp of scripture believing every word is inspired and continually finds Jesus on every page. He would never set himself up as infallible - he always asks listeners to be as the Bereans. |

---Nigel on 12/12/05 |
Guiyava, have you bothered to look Chuck Missler up on the Net? He makes interesting reading, if uncomfortable, if you want a nice quiet life. His commentaries on the world and American news make very interesting reading. |

There are many new ministries coming up.. Many persons Scientist, athletes, movie stars, singers , celebrities are coming to Christ. We live in the end times and they will be many more. But let us Remember 1 john 4 :1. Beloved, believe not every spirit ,but try the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets are into the world. |
