To: one Lord one faith one baptism
I apologize for breaking in here in your conversation with boatbums.

As one who believes in only one second coming, I agree with your opposition to the plural comings of the pretribs. But why the repeated denials on this thread of the use of the word “rapture?”

While I am opposed to the pretrib’s use of the word - they use it to distinguish their pretribulational coming from the one after the trib, never mind the fact that nowhere in scripture do we find the word “rapture” to distinguish this alleged pretrib event - yet, and despite the pretrib’s misapplication of the word, it is still Biblical. I’m sure you are aware that is the Latin for the Greek “harpazo,” the “caught up” of 1 Thess. 4:17.

It sounds as if you are denying the “caught up” of 1 Thess. 4:17, you are not are you? It is the pretrib “caught up” I am opposed to, I am not opposed to the use of the word when applied correctly as happening at the post-trib event.

thanks for your question, i agree with you, there will be a rapture. The Bible is clear on this. But the rapture occurs at the end of the world and Jesus’s second coming. it is the “pre-trib” rapture heresy i oppose.
