I couldn't get much past:
Just after the Rapture of the church takes place (which the scoffers and haters of the Grace of God totally reject)

When anyone who doesn't agree is dismissed as a "hater", it takes away from the strength of the discussion.

Yep. Actually, it pretty much ends any pretense of discussion. And I say this this as someone who does not necessarily disagree with the original premise...just with the prideful, arrogant attitude with which it is shared.

That was my problem with it, too. There is no question that Scripture says believers will meet Christ "in the air". The question is whether it is before or after a period of tribulation. I fall in the latter camp.

Especially considering the idea of a pretrib rapture is only a few hundred years old.
