[The Theophilus]

YOUR "opinion" is trumped by CHRISTS own words

I'm looking at those words, and I don't see "rapture". I submit that you are eisegeting these passages, and since it doesn't say rapture, you just gratuitously put it in there.

Here is a quick test. Where does it suggest that the one taken away is being raptured - or that the one taken away is the wheat and the other Left Behind is the tare? See, you have to assume things not in evidence.

Now lets look at our LORD words on this topic and you will quickly discover that you are claiming the exact opposite of what our LORD described.

Read Matthew 13:36-43. Here are the highlights:

• Jesus explains the meaning of the wheat and the tares.
• He who sows the good seed is our LORD.
• the field is the world
• the good seeds are the Elect
• the tares are the reprobate
• the harvest is the End of the Age
• Reapers are angels.
• The tares are gathered and burned
• The wheat remains and shine forth as the sun

Once again, the Evangelicals get it all wrong because it doesn't fit the Fantasy

You ARE a moron aren't you. The Bible doesn't use the word trinity and yet is a tenet of the Bible. One doesn't have to use the word "rapture" to see that Christ himself talked of the happening. And that Paul likewise described it.

You talk about " you have to assume things not in evidence."

Your the one developing a theory out of whole cloth. You said that the people who disappeared were taken by the Romans. And yet Christ says "And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other."

You may be surprised to find out that Scofield agrees with your interpretation that the wheat was left behind. Look at Scofield's note on Matthew 24:39. It is talking about the second advent, not the rapture. "They knew not until the flood took them all away."

Contrast this with Revelation 14:14-20 Where the evil ones are left behind for judgment.
