Christainity is not a religion, it’s a faith in Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins and said, the only way to the father is but through him. No confessions to a priest will save you, or idoltry to the virgin mary, we are to worship God alone.

Well, you're certainly down pat on Catholic teaching regarding confession and Mary. /sarc

For the record, although there will be great tribulation in the end times, I certainly don't subscribe to the vision put forth in the Left Behind series about the Rapture, wherein people are 'lifted away' by Christ and leaving others behind to suffer through the events described in the Apocalypse of St. John; what evidence is there to support that Christ has this 'first' second coming?

I get my catholic views from my wife, she was raised catholic heh. The bible is pretty clear that the believers will be taken in the rapture and that people will be left behind in some pretty horrible circumstances.

I’m not familiar with the left behind series other than having heard of it, I just know I don’t want to be unprepared.
