Does it really matter if you believe in the Rapture or not if you believe that Jesus was the living Son of God, lived without sin so that He could become the scapegoat for us all?
No, it doesn’t. My only concern is that fervent believers in the rapture will fail to prepare themselves and may be bereft if they’re wrong. As I said before, I hope they’re right but mid-Trib seems correct in my estimation.
Perhaps, perhaps not.
I’m no theologian, but it seems to me that, say premillennial Rapture most closely follws the literal meaning of the words of the Bible (I make due allowance for metaphors, and figurative language in the text).
But allegorizing the whole message into something else, well where do you stop? What do you get?
You’d get the meaning of the US Constitution as it currrently exists in modern political life. Nothing.
