So I sign up for military service,
Boot camp ,
Specialized training and get to my
Duty station .
I’m all set to fight for my country with
dreams of conquest and heroic acts.
The battle begins and I’m sent HOME !?!

Sums up my take on THE RAPTURE.

I’ve never understood the belief of a “rapture” type event.

The passages that people use as evidence can all be ascribed to happening on the day Jesus comes back, at the end of the tribulation. Not before.

All throughout the Bible believers are tested through horrible events, why would the tribulation be any different? Besides, if God comes and snatches up all the believers before the tribulation, who will be there in those last seven years to bring unbelievers to Him?

I used to believe that a Rapture type event was a sure thing, but that was before I learned to think for myself. It just doesn’t make sense.

Exactly...It’s sad that so many have fallen for the false rapture doctrine...Bible is very clear on this fly-away nonsense.

It will lead many ppl to follow the false christ...
