Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Christ's comment about after the tribulation of those days He was speaking about His return to set foot on Earth.

They occur at the same time. There is no Scripture for a third coming.

I never said a third coming. With the rapture He never sets foot on Earth, He gathers His bride in the air and they return to heaven for the marriage supper and judgment seat of Christ. At His 2nd coming to Earth His bride comes with Him and the angels and He sets up His Earthly kingdom ruling from Jerusalem. With the rapture only His own see Him and hear the call, with the 2nd coming to set foot on Earth it says every eye shall see Him returning in the clouds in glory.
He never sets foot on Earth for the rapture, that's why it's not considered an advent situation like the 2nd coming is.

Are you even reading anything I said? I never said anything about a third coming. With the rapture He never sets foot on Earth. And the Bible does NOT teach what you said. It says after He gathers His bride in the air they return to heaven for the marriage supper and the Judgment Seat of Christ where rewards/crowns are handed out. This event is Revelation 4. And Christ returns with His bride exactly 42 months, or 1,260 day from the abomination of desolation where the AC sits in the temple and declares himself to be God.
Paul and Peter expected Christ to return for the rapture in their lifetimes, but the verses about His second coming to Earth in glory to rule and reign have a very detailed and specific timing detailed in scripture by the Holy Spirit. With the rapture Jesus said no man knows the day or hour, with His second coming every bit of detail is given except the minutes and seconds. They are not mutually exclusive. If you want the rapture at the same time as His 2nd coming to set His feet on Earth to rule then you make some verses of scripture contradictory. That should be a warning sign that your doctrine is in error.

No I am not. What you are doing is purposely labeling a coming in the air as a coming to set foot on Earth. If Jesus never sets foot on Earth it by definition is not a coming to Earth. The Jews don't consider the atmosphere to be Earth but the "heavens".

There can only be one God in Christianity. Polytheism and trinitarianism is not Christianity.

No it doesn't. First of all the rapture is a reward for faithfulness, not a reward for salvation. Secondly, if you do not accept a rapture and a subsequent 2nd coming of Christ to Earth you have two piles of verses that are contradictory.edit on 22-7-2013 by NOTurTypical because: (no reason given)

Sorry, bub, but by definition, Christianity is a trinitarian religion. You anti-trinitarians are not Christians, you're Sabellianists, a different religion entirely.

The fact that the Bible teaches one God and adds nothing about multiple gods/persons, is proof against you.

As I said, there is no third coming, no second chances.
