non rapture believers?

Question

just for kicks, please answer this... if one of your rapture believing Christian friends just disappeared in front of your eyes... would you then believe the things they told you about?

(8 answers) im glad for the responses, but i really hoped more of them would be an answer to my question... lol

Answer 1

The Bible says it is not going to happen it says Jesus coming will be Glorious and every eye will see him, so I would not. I trust God and his word rather than what I percieve with my senses. God told people to do things that went against common sense to believe in things although everything around them went the other way. He wants people to believe in Him over their senses.

Peter started walking on water, then he saw the waves and lost faith. He believed his senses over the word of Jesus and started to sink.

They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle of the great day of God Almighty. Revelation 16:14

Satan and his angels can do things to decieve people into believeing their acts are of God.

Moses turned the Nile into blood then Pharoahs magicians did the same thing. Was Pharoah right in believing his senses, what he saw, felt, smelled? No, he should have believed what God said and God says to us there is no secret rapture.



The better question is will believers in the Secret Rapture believe the Bible rather than popular teachings.

Where in the Bible does it say 7 yrs of tribulation?
No where

What does the Bible say about the Secret Rapture?

“No single verse specifically states Christ will come before the Tribulation.”
Tim LaHaye (author of “Left Behind”)

Friends the belief in the SECRET RAPTURE is a dangerous doctrine because it is not Biblical. Please read with an open mind. Nowhere in the scriptures does it make any reference of a “SECRET RAPTURE”. Many people reference I Thessalonians 4 but they don’t actually read the whole chapter read verse 16.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a SHOUT, with the VOICE of the archangel, and with the TRUMP of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trump: for the TRUMPET shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. I Corinthians 15:52

These are some of the nosiest verses in the Bible how can it be a secret?


Where is the scripture that says “7 years of Tribulation”?

It cannot be found, because it is not in the Bible

Did God save Noah from the flood or through it

Did God save Israel from the plagues or through them

Did God save Daniel from the lions den or through it


But doesn’t the Bible say that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night?

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which THE HEAVENS SHALL PASS AWAY with a GREAT NOISE, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be BURNED up. II Peter 3:10

He comes as thief because it catches people by surprise.


What does the Bible say will happen when Jesus comes back

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Matt 24:27

Everyone will see it you can’t miss it


Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him. He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people: “Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
Psalms 50:3

I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void; And the heavens, they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled, And all the hills moved back and forth. I beheld, and indeed there was no man, And all the birds of the heavens had fled. I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness, And all its cities were broken down At the presence of the LORD, By His fierce anger. Jeremiah 4:26

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:30,31
since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. II Thessalonians 1:6-8

1 angel rolled away the stone and 100 Roman soldiers collapsed in fear like dead men.

1 angel killed almost 200,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night

Jesus is coming with all his angels who will take flaming fire vengeance how can this be a secret?


But doesn’t the Bible say 1 shall be taken and 1 shall be left?


Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather. Matt 24:28

Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?”
So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” Luke 17:36, 37


Notice how Jesus answers where the body and the vultures are gathered. The vultures devouring the flesh because those “Left Behind” will be dead.

The secret Rapture was created by a Catholic monk named Ribera. It was supposed to be used in the Counter Reformation, but no one believed it.

There is no Secret Rapture when Jesus comes he comes in glory the world does not go on for 7 years. When Jesus comes probation for sinners is over. We need to be ready now. Life does not continue on Earth after Jesus comes.

Answer 2

I am a Christian but not a believer in the 'secret rapture' which was only 'invented' in the 1800's. I would assume, being a Christian and knowing that my salvation by grace alone comes through Chrsit Jesus----that IF some chance happening came about that someone 'disappeared'---I would probably disappear too! LOL.

BTW, I believe in a second advent---just not a 'secret rapture'.

Answer 3

Sounds like you believe in the Rapture? Have you ever heard of "Miller time?"

"Miller time" refers to a preacher by the name of Miller who twice became a millionaire by selling 'ascension sheets' to believers. He made them believe that 'the time was at hand' and that the Lord would take up into the sky all true followers.

Miller convinced the 'believers' to turn over all their earthly possessions to him, in exchange for an 'ascension sheet.' This was nothing more than a bed-sheet with a hole cut in it for the head to fit through.

Then Preacher Miller led the believers to a hill in Tennessee where they were to await the 'Rapture of the Lord' dressed in nothing more than their trusty 'ascension sheets.'

The only one who 'disappeared' was the good Preacher Miller, who later popped up elsewhere to perpetuate the same scam a second time.

And that is where we got the expression 'Miller Time' from. Enough said!

Answer 4

Nope. I think the pre-trib rapture as taught by dispensationalism is a load of umm... crap. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Trekkian beam though, so I'd just assume the person had either turned invisible or been teleported somewhere.

Answer 5

that is sad because scripture equates the rapture with the disclosing of the anti-christ and the great tribulation (7 years) in the present day following Jesus coming to earth and installation the dominion of God in Jerusalem. This hasn't ever exceeded off and people have truly misinterpreted scripture interior the previous.

Answer 6

Heh...the problem is, as a rapture-skeptical Christian, I'd disappear right along with him/her.

Answer 7

No, because I believe what the Bible says and it explains all of that. When Lazerus died he didn't go to heaven Jesus resurrected him back to life here on Earth. He told lazerus to, "come on out." (out of the tomb). The others that were ressurected were all ressurected here on the Earth to be on the Earth not Heaven.

Answer 8

No.I would assume the beast was in power and Satan had taken them.

Answer 9

T'aint gonna happen.

Answer 10

Yes I would!!!!!! OMG thats skeeeerrrry
