I just believe what the preserved Word of God plainly says,

1Thess 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.

Why can't I just believe in being 'caught up.' Where in the Word of God does it say, I have to use obsecure Latin translations, or for that matter ancient Hebrew translations of words in the Bible, to get the "real' meaning of what God is plainly teaching in His own Word?

I’m with you, Bro. Easy is better. I prefer the New International Version. I understand it’s written at the 7th grade level, so I’m able to understand it a little better.

I just never got the hang of all that Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew. I’m just a simple country boy.

yes, the Bible IS clear that we are caught up with Christ but it’s at His return, not 7 years before, where some cruel ‘god’ leaves unbelievers languishing for by themselves.
