[PetroniusMaximus]

“Then bust out your strong’s and find me rapture in the bible!”

# 1 Thessalonians 4:17
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

I do not see any “rapture” there. and if you notice it is the ones that remain that meet the Lord not the ones taking the imaginary flying rescue ride. There are at least two camps on this .

# 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Funny, I always thought that was evidence for the normally held view for 1800 years that Christ would come ONCE, and that in his coming would gather all his people to himself.

Where in this passage do you find that view refuted?
