Just to nail you down further, is the following true or is it false?

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have not hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17)

That is a passage of Scripture which describes Jesus Christ coming to take His Church off the earth.

Is it true or is it false?

What Paul wrote is true. But you are not reading what Paul said. The dead are already ‘risen’ so naturally they would be first. ALLLL in the flesh when Christ returns will be changed in a twinkling of an eye ICorinthians 15:51-52 the end of this flesh age.

BUT the first supernatural being tossed down here upon us is NOT our LORD and Saviour but the great pretender to deceive all but the elect that he is Jesus. ONE of his lies is he has come to ‘rapture’ out IF they believe upon him.

Check out that word Paul uses ‘air’. Soul means ‘breath of life’ as in ‘air’, a different dimension not held by gravity.
