Why do you rapturist believe the righteous shall be taken away and not evil? Bible has truth but who's truth?
You all claim the Bible is the word of God and is true. I say it has truths in it, but you all love the interpretation of men, not truth through God.
Proverbs 10; 30.
30. The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
St. Matthews, 47-49
47. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48. Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just.
St. Matthews, 3; 5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth
I quoted the bible, because it's truths is only open to those who are blinded by men's words and only believe what men teach them. God teaches his own.
Now truth from a source stamped by men as evil and of Satan from the Lost Books of the Bible.
I Clement. 10; For it is written, The merciful shall inherit the earth; and they that are without evil shall be left upon it; but the transgressors shall perish from off the face of it.
Would like opinions of those who's mind and heart is open to truths beyond the vain teachings of men. And who aren't afraid of truth that truly saves and comforts, not deceive and distort.

You are right, there is no "rapture." and this is a false teaching of man, and a tool of satan. Many have been deceived into believing it and they believe it with all their might. this is why Jesus said, "behold, I have foretold you all things." and "see that you are not deceived."
The bible does not teach the "rapture doctrine, nor it's theory." the definition of the word "rapture" itself, dispels the myth of the so called rapture.
Many of those who follow the rapture theory belong to set religions and are not those who follow the word of God as it is written in truth. Interpretations come in and make God's word void.
"There is a way that seems right unto a man, but it's path leads to destruction." Proverbs 14:12
So many do not understand how dangerous the rapture theory and doctrine are in regards to eternal life.
So many also have been courted by the scripture 1Thess. 4:17, they do not understand that Caught up in the air means in the spiritual body. Air, defines the spirit, and spiritual body in the context of that scripture, and not one time do you see the word rapture there. this is what has caused some to go wrong in that way of thinking, deeper study would have prevented this.

As Revelation makes very clear much of the occurrences in the last days are not yet recorded in the Bible. They are hidden till a later time like the message the seven thunders uttered.
Certainly the rapture is only a theory that cannot be proven or disproven so I say why worry about it. I do take Johns warning quite seriously at the end of Revelation that any one who adds to or takes away from the book will be cursed and as I do not want to be included with these transgressors I will certainly not add a rapture we have extremely little significant evidence for to his teachings.

The Gospel (GOOD news) of God in a nutshell is:
1 Timothy 4:10
...we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of ALL men, and especially of those who believe.
Isaiah 26:9
...When your judgements come upon the earth, the people of the world LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS...
- NOT BURN IN HELL FIRE.
Any scriptures that appear to contradict have been mistranslated or misunderstood.
The wicked will only have to stand before God to become meek - as Paul's example.

the dominion of God would be general right here on the earth. THe meek shall inherit the earth. i think of heaven is a non everlasting place for some to attend till the main suitable kingdom is general. i think of that Adam and Eve had the possibility to take us to the subsequent kingdom ,devoid of this mess that we are caught up in now. yet all of us sinned and now we could consistently go in the time of the judgemnet. THere are seperate referencees to mortal physique loss of existence and non secular loss of existence. i'm no prophet, so i will no longer be able to coach, I purely provide comments. remember that the devil is a liar

Isn't the rapture concept fairly a new thing, like 19 century ? I believe God will do as he wills with me, I am a sinner, I understand the rapture to be when your soul goes to God, but the flesh too? Hmm great zero gravity concept, good for scientists to beam us aboard lol, but God is bigger then a laser or a metal ship with controls lol.
I trust that I will die and pray my soul be lifted from hell when God wills not I. Amen

It's strange that you talk about the rapture and you list bible verses but you don't include the one which everyone cites as the source, which is 1 Th 4:17
"After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."

Godly people are going to stay on Earth once God cleanses it & builds his new Kingdom. The wicked & evil will be taken away to where there in eternal gnashing of teeth. That's what these verses are referring to.

The god of modern thought is the creation of the thinker himself, evolved out of his own consciousness, or fashioned according to his own notion of what a god should be. Jesus Christ was and remains the only "truth." As the Bible says, "the truth made flesh."

there are no "lost books" of the Bible. in the end, those who have not accepted the free gift of salvation AND turned from sin and follow Christ, they won't make the cut. simple as that. by the way, the Bible is complete and is not missing anything. man DID write the Bible, but they were inspired by God, who told them what to write. therefore, its the word of God. try reading the ENTIRE thing, and maybe youll get it.
especially Revelations.

A winking avatar is always a good indication of a cocky and self-righteous individual, and everything you have to say merely proves that point...
