In your original post, you did not specify pre, mid or post tribulation rapture.

You simply used the word “rapture” as if believing in it were unbiblical.

Christians who believe the Bible ALL believe the rapture will occur someday as taught clearly in scripture.

The disagreement has always been WHEN ( the timing ) it will occur, NOT whether or not it will occur.

Let’s take one of the articles you posted entitled:

Paul Didn’t believe in the Rapture. Neither did Jesus, Neither Should You.

[EXCERPT FROM THAT ARTICLE]

Paul does certainly believe that Christ will return. But as we see in other Pauline passages, including this one, Christ will return to render resurrection to humankind (of which Jesus is the first). Pulling other passages in Paul together the picture of what God will do when Christ comes back is more profound than escaping this planet.

God’s goal in Christ is to resurrect, purge, heal, and establish the eternal kingdom of God on this earth. Heaven and earth will unite like a bride and husband – for all eternity. That’s it.

[END EXCERPT]

I don’t see how ANY Christian ( Evangelicals included) disagree with this eventual state. The disagreement has always been THE TIMING of when this will occur or whether or not certain events must take place before this ultimate state will be established.

At any rate, I fail to see how SPECIFIC disagreements regarding this partIcular eschatological issue relates to the left wing drift of certain Evangelicals ( the topic of this thread). Maybe you can explain how they relate…
