are you ready for.......the rapture?

no such thing as the rapture

I'll just stick with the teaching of the Church Jesus Christ founded, to which He promised the fullness of God's truth. Not manmade ideas no-one on Earth ever heard of until a couple of hundred years ago.

 CHRISTIANS KNOW THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE RAPTURE, No, there’s not. The “Rapture” refers to a passage in First Thessalonians, chapter 4, which talks about Christians being “caught up” in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Many Christians believe, and the “Left Behind” books promote, that this being “caught up” to meet the Lord will occur before the Great Tribulation which is headed our way in the near future. Christians will simply vanish, meet Jesus somewhere in the air, and then return with Him to Heaven to await the end of time.

But notice, in verse 17, Paul says that “…we who are alive, who are left,” shall be caught up. Remember that…those who are “left” get caught up to meet the Lord.

The “Left Behind” books get their name from a passage in Luke 17 and a similar passage in Matthew 24 which talk about the coming of the Lord being like the days of Noah and the days of Lot. Matthew 24 puts it this way: “As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of man…they ate, they drank, they married and they did not know until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of man. Then two men will be in the field, one is taken and one is left. Two women grinding at the mill, one is taken one is left.”

“See,” Rapture enthusiasts say, “One is taken, one is left…the Rapture! Jesus takes the Christians and leaves behind non-Christians!” Two problems with that interpretation: First, Jesus’ coming is being compared to the days of Noah and the days of Lot. After the flood, who was left? Noah and his family…the good guys…the bad guys were taken! After Sodom and Gomorrah went up in smoke, who was left? Lot and his daughters…the good guys…the bad guys were taken! Second, remember 1 Thessalonians? It says that those who are “left” get to meet Jesus in the air. The good guys are left behind to meet Jesus.

In other words, you want to be left behind so that you can get caught up in the clouds to meet Jesus in the air and accompany Him back to earth at His 2nd and final coming. There will be no Rapture like the one the Left Behind books talk about…that view is not scriptural.

No such thing as the rapture. 

The belief that faithful Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth, suddenly taken out of the world, to be united with the Lord “in the air.” The word “rapture” is understood by some persons, but not by all, to be the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 4:17. 

The word “rapture” does not occur in the inspired Scriptures. 

If all faithful Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth, suddenly taken out of the world, how would you explain this scripture? 

Psalms 37:29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. 

 when you die, all good people go to heaven, then if that is so, where do the righteous that live on earth forever come from if all righteous are in heaven. 

There's no rapture.  Some protestant made in up in the 1800s.

Read Isaiah 24 

Surely no-one actually believes this twaddle?

The rapture was invented a couple of hundred years ago.  It's just a silly idea with no basis in the Bible.

The Rapture isn't Biblical; it was invented by a 19th century American preacher who liked to be melodramatic. Dreams and fiction have enhanced this theory.

Matthew 24:22-27  And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.  (23)  Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.  (24)  For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.  (25)  See, I have told you beforehand.  (26)  So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.  (27)  For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

How many times have people predicted the rapture? and it has never happened yet. Of course this woman is bound to be right.....
