Where is Scripture justifying a rapture.  Can you give Chapter and verse?

Christ speaks of some being taken and disappearing, while others are left (in the field, at the mill) Mat.24:37-44. Paul agrees, speaking of the time of the last trumpet call when Christ appears and corpses of believers are resurrected and lifted up to meet Him, then living believers being caught up to join them. 1 Thess. 13-18 'Rapio' = rapture = caught up. That was in the old Latin Bibles, working from the original Greek 'harpazo' meaning 'caught up'. It was translated into English much later as being caught up. Modern terminology says "raptured" but it should be called "the being caught up".

Sadly, because different groups have different interpretations of what will happen when the last trumpet call will sound (and when), it's INTERPRETATIONS of the biblical rapture doctrine that cause all the arguments. When pre-millennialism and post-millennialism ideas were touted, chaos resulted and the biblical doctrine was side-lined due to disagreeing factions. As demonstrated here.

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 was no such thing as the rapture doctrine before John Nelson Darby invented it in 1830.  

The chronology in itself proves it's bogus.

The idea of a "rapture" was dreamed up by Protestants within the past couple of hundred years. No Christian on Earth ever heard of such an idea before then. Jesus Christ never heard of it and never mentioned it. It is not part of true Christianity.

Not off the top of my head.  But Jesus and Paul both affirmed it.  I have no reason to doubt either or both.

There is no pre-tribulation rapture, it is not Biblical.

There is a post-tribulation gathering back to Christ.

When Jesus comes back we will ALL be transformed into our Spiritual Body.

Jesus comes back at the LAST Trump, the Tribulation happens before this at the sixth Trump.

1 Corinthians 15:52 “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:”

Matthew 24:30 “And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”

2 Thessalonians Chapter 2:1 "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,"

2 "That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand."

3 "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"

Of course, with real pleasure! Read verses 34,35,36 carefully, it says that, one person will be taken by God, and the other No! For God will only take those who have done His will on earth.

Luke 17:22-37.

22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.

23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.

24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.

25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.

32 Remember Lot's wife.

33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

1 Thessalonians 4:17

So we, the living, the survivors, will be raptured together with them into the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

@. --->Norine: I've always told you that, my presence on this website is your curse, I know all of holy scripture better than you, who are a religious, called, the antichrist! 

Matthew 7:22-23.

Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, and in your name cast out demons, and done in your name many mighty works? "23 Then I will declare to them, "I have never known you; depart from me, evildoers!"

((("WOE!"))

Your time has come, to be "the antichrist, of your judgment," before the Lord, Jesus Christ!

Romans 2:1-3.

Therefore, O man, whoever you are that judges, you are inexcusable; for in judging others you condemn yourself; for you who judge do the same things. 

2 Now we know that the judgment of God on those who do such things is in accordance with truth. 3 Do you think, O man, who judges those who do such things and does them yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God? 

This will be the end of you:

Revelation 21:8.

But for the cowards, the unbelievers, the unclean, the murderers, the fornicators, the magicians, the idolaters, and all the *guilty*, their portion will be in the pond that burns with fire and brimstone, this is the second death.

UPDATE:

WARNING: >>>You've got HELL (Revelation 21:8)!<<<"He that glory let him glory in the LORD" (I Corinthians 1:31)."Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the (((FIRST RESURRECTION:))) on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years" (Revelation 20:6).

Being a "DEAD spirit" (Romans 5:12-14) you need to worried about the (((FIRST RESURRECTION"))) instead of me!

The term "rapture" is not in the Bible, but this is probably the main verse people use to support the concept. Just like the term "Trinity"... the concept is scriptural.

There's only one word in the Latin Vulgate Bible that refers to anything remotely resembling a rapture. No chapter and verse, at all.

"GET CURED BY DR. HOUSE, YOU'RE A HEREITIC RELIGIOUS NUT JOB, THE ANTICHRIST."

1 Thessalonians 4:17

"Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord."

we just did this ques a few minutes ago

LUKE 21:36

REV 11:12

1 COR 15:52

In a part of 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, which means the Lord taught it through Paul.  Unbelievers hate the rapture truth as they hate pretty much all truth. And the rapture was not "invented in the 1800's".  Only liars say that.
