If you believe in the "rapture"...?

Question

Let's try this again.
While you, rapture believers, are still in the flesh waiting for the rapture.
Would you believe on the rapture? Would you fall for the deception of the fake Jesus that will sit in Jerusalem?
Let me give it to you straight.
The devil will come first. He will look like Jesus. He is going to claim that he is Jesus. He will do miracles in order to convince you that he is Jesus.
The true Jesus will come after this. There is no rapture.
We all will be transformed in to the spirit when the true, and one and only, Jesus comes.
2 Thessalonians 2:
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he, as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Please give mature answers only. Don't attack the question. If you can't answer maturely, than don't answer at all. Thank you.

Answer 1

LOL
Nail them!

Answer 2

Yes, I believe in the rapture. The dead in Christ will arise first and be caught up in the air with those believers who are alive when Jesus calls us to heaven for the marriage supper.

Satan has always been an imitator of God. Satan will use the Antichrist to fool the world that he is God. The Antichrist will be killed and rise from the dead and everyone will be deceived that Jesus was returned.

1 John 2:18-23
18 Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the end of the world has come. 19These people left our churches because they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left us, it proved that they do not belong with us. 20But you are not like that, for the Holy Spirit has come upon you,[d] and all of you know the truth. 21So I am writing to you not because you don't know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and falsehood. 22 And who is the great liar? The one who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Such people are antichrists, for they have denied the Father and the Son. 23Anyone who denies the Son doesn't have the Father either. But anyone who confesses the Son has the Father also.

Matthew 24:24
For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great miraculous signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God's chosen ones.

The Rapture will be only thing he cannot imitate because the church will be gone to be with Jesus and avoid the 7 years of the Great Tribulation.

Answer 3

Those who read the Bible carefully and who handle accurately the Word, can see that the "rapture" is a man-made concept and is actually not taught in the Bible. Some verses have been taken out of context and misapplied to support this false doctrine.

Answer 4

You are confusing the second coming of Christ with the rapture of the church. In the rapture, we are caught up with Jesus "in the clouds"....at the second coming, Jesus comes to earth and sets his foot "on the mount of Olives". They are not the same event.

The bible also speaks of a hindering force that is holding back the rise of the antichrist. I have heard that this is God's spirit working in the millions of Christians on earth right now. I believe that is true. When we are taken out of the world, that hindering force will no longer be here and the antichrist will come to the forefront. Your verses above refer to the rise of the antichrist before the second coming of Jesus.

Answer 5

First of all, no one knows when any of the end of the world stuff is going to happen - it could be five minutes from now or five thousand years from now. Second, one hopes that devout Christians would see through to the truth about Christ's second coming. I personally don't spend a whole lot of time worrying about the end of times or what specifically will happen, I prefer to spend my time doing as much of God's work as I can in the world now and let the future happen in God's time.

Answer 6

Can I attack the King James bible?

Look, it happens that througout biblical record, nobody understood a word of prophecy until they saw it fulfilled. End-time prophecy interpretation has become as big as Hollywood and is filled with nonsense.

I will be reserved in my opinion. But I do know that THE DEAD WILL RISE FIRST, so until that happens, I won't concern myself much with the rapture. In prophecy, it looks like that first resurrection occurs in Revelation 20.

Answer 7

its called the anti-christ he will come some time before jesus comes back but not long, he will try to decieve us(and will alot of people) many countries will fall for him....but there is a rapture and jesus will return and take the church and leave those that are not saved...it helps if you read the whole bible and not just parts...

Answer 8

I'm not quite sure what the question IS, so I couldn't answer it anyways. I will say that I don't necessarily believe that everything is going to happen like it says in Revelation, but I do trust God enough to hope that I'll know the real Jesus if/when He appears. God knows my heart - only He will judge me.

Answer 9

The raputre itself is not just the coming of Jesus it is the transformation of your spirit so there is a rapture just not the way most people think.

Answer 10

In the first instance it is a myth like the rest of the christian religion.

Now dont get me wrong... christianity like other religions provides a great set of morals to live by but look at the evidence... it is a story created 2000 years ago to provide a guide on how people should live their lives.

Answer 11

Well, there is a rapture, and we will all be caught up in the air together with him, but it's not happening early, Tim LaHaye style, I believe. It will happen near or at the end of the tribulation period.
