But we NEED an escape hatch!!!!!! We are so afraid of getting hurt!!!!!
What is the 'hurt'? Do you really believe you are 'better' than the Christians being slaughtered daily in the Middle East? You see, until one is deceived by another Jesus, all who rest in Christ today are Christians. The peril comes from the mass deception, because of false doctrines leads Christians to worship the fake Jesus.
The 'rapture' doctrine has no clue who the literal anti-Christ, or instead of Jesus is and that 'he' shows up first. That is the first tribulation, that has not been since the beginning of this flesh age.
Christ repeatedly warned about those that come in His name.
What condition would cause a Christian to pray for the mountains to fall upon them? That question applies to all Christians of all denominations. Answer, a 'wedding' out of season to a fake Jesus.
