Rapture is a false belief.
Not to be combative, but I don’t understand your statement.
What is Paul writing about in I Thessalonians 4:16-17?
Honestly just wondering.
So then that whole series Left Behind is bogus? The UN antichrist guy?!?
[[Rapture is a false belief.]]
The real myth is purgatory
Heb 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
No church is praying you out of anything and Mary can’t save you . Death then the judgement is how it goes. Oh look at the next verse where it says he is coming for those that look for him
(Hebrews 9:27) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
(Hebrews 9:28) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Don’t worry about the rapture cause you are going, cause you are not looking for his appearing .
You like Cain bring the work of your hands so you will stay with the rest of the mockers and go through the great tribulation . Maybe then you’ll wise up and actually start believing what the bible says .
The mockers stay
(2 Peter 3:3) Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
(2 Peter 3:4) And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
(2 Peter 3:5) For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
(2 Peter 3:6) Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Unlike the mockers some are going to escape the judgement coming
(Revelation 3:10) Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Those who neglect HIS salvation don’t escape
(Hebrews 2:3) How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
There is an escape and transformation
(1 Corinthians 15:50) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
(1 Corinthians 15:51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
(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.
(1 Corinthians 15:53) For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Why did Jesus die ? I’ll give a hint - it wasn’t an accident and it wasn’t a tragedy .
