“I believe every word of scripture, please tell me where in scripture the word “rapture” appears.”
I can’t believe anyone would actually post that here.
How old are you twelve? What’s your IQ, 12?
What a lame, infantile statement that proves NOTHING!
Go back and read your bible. Forget the “word search” and look for TRUTH.
Rapture is just a word someone made up to convey circumstances clearly depicted in the bible.
You don’t believe in heaven? If you do, how are you going to get there? Uber? Rocket? Magic underpants? How about “rapture”?
Welllll.... Aren’t you the mature one.....
You’re missing the point.
The Bible has been around for thousands of years.
It was only in the 1800s or so that a bunch of the stuff about the Rapture was, hmmm, call it explicitly formulated in something like its present form.
The funny part is, the Americans who believe it got high on their own supply and proclaimed they were returning to the TRUE Christianity™ to the point they believed they were the only real Christians, and those who followed an unbroken set of teachings dating back to Apostolic times didn’t really follow Christianity.
I must admit I’m not as impressed by that attitude as I used to be.
