Alison Crisci and Kara Silverman: "Evangaho's."

All kidding aside, this group is wrong, on so many levels, it isn't funny.
The Apostle Paul said at the end times, there would be a great apostasy
within Christianity. I guess from this video we can see it first hand.
Jesus taught, HIMSELF a post-tribulation rapture. When you believe a
pre-tribulation rapture, you've swallowed a lie. Is it any wonder many
Evangelicals are going to hell? For calling Jesus a liar? Christianity has
more pressing problems to worry about than Israel. They got corrupt greedy
moneygrubbers, fleecing everyone for their last dime on TBN, and INSP. We
got the mark of the beast coming into existence. We don't have TIME to
worry about Israel. Luke
