Again, may sound weird to those who choose not to believe, but it IS what the Book says. Theres no refuting that.
Yes, but at no point in the section you quoted does it say that it will occur to remove believers from a future tribulation. Yes, the bible says Christ will come again. At no point does it say "believers will be raptured before 'the tribulation'".
Jesus said the wrath, when it came, would come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
That would mean that the " bride of Christ", true and faithfully believers would be subject to God's wrath. Never has that happened. That would make God untrue to His word. He told us we are not appointed to wrath.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Do you believe a loving God would subject faithfully followers of Jesus to His wrath even after saying they would not be?
No it doesn't, in those verses...But there are plenty of other verses that confirm it...
Every one knows the church is the Bride...Few however realize that the wedding has never taken place...We are the 'espoused' Bride...
The book of Revelation (with no s) tells of the destruction that will take place on the earth during the Great Tribulation...While this Tribulation is taking place, the Wedding of the Bride and Bridegroom also takes place, in heaven...This is the church that was taken up to meet the Lord before the Tribulation started...
Read the book of Revelation...You'll be blessed...
