Rapture is it a dangerous lie?

Question

I know the so-called rapture is a lie. Christ and the father are comeing to this earth to set up the kingdom hear. So where do these people think thier going to "fly away" to?

Answer 1

Think? I wonder if they think!

Darby.
Rapture 1830 was fromulated

The story goes that a woman was sick and delirious, Darby was at her bed side, she rambled and WA la the Rapture doctrine is formed. Spread like wild fire.

Don't you believe it!

There is a time at the END when Christ returns to earth the set up his kingdom that the faithful will be transfigured and rise to meet him and descend back to earth with him.
BUT the rapture says you will fly away from the anti-Christ with Christ to heaven. BS!!!!
We are here to be tested

Answer 2

John 6:54 states that ON THE LAST DAY the dead in Christ will rise.

This belief is very unique within the Christian history beginning at the end of the 19th century.

Again, this belief is from literalist protestants that will under this circumstance use the bible language symbolically.

Just ain't true.

Answer 3

at the beginning it is not a deception. There are a minimum of three examples of rapture interior the Bible that have surely got here approximately. it relatively is all the different fake doctrines that are a risky deception. between the main deadly is that we are in a position to decide for to settle for Jesus, and thereby exchange into saved.

Answer 4

Don't call God a lier He can't Lie. God gave the invitations to his Sons
Wedding a long time ago on a hill called Calvary.Jesus Blood bought him a Bride of Born of God BELIEVERS and all who receive it through Faith WILL BE at the Marriage supper of the Lamb.God is still trying to give them out but the time could be a lot shorter than people believe. Jesus Bride [all born of God men women boys and girls make up Jesus BRIDE and there would be NO MARRIAGE OF THE LAMB IF ANY WERE LEFT BEHIND]
You can believe what you want to but I will keep on watching for Jesus to take me home.1Th 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!!!
In Christ in Love,

Answer 5

The Bible clearly foretells an evacuation of true believers from earth in Matthew 24:31, and 1Thessalonians 4:16,17. One thing that comes to mind, is if there is a nuclear world war 3, conditions here on earth may make it almost impossible to survive. In such a scenario, it may be essential to evacuate true Christians from earth, while the earth is detoxified by the angels. My personal interpretation of this is, that we will likely either remain in spaceships (yes, angels do fly in spaceships), or be temporarily escorted to some other planet where there are temporary holding facilities for us.

Answer 6

Although you have some wrong information here, you do have one thing right. The rapture is a fake.

“Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, ‘Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?’ He said unto them, ‘An enemy hath done this.’ The servants said unto him, ‘Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.’’” (Matthew 13:24 – 29 KJV)

Now that is an interesting story, and it can be a little confusing; fortunately, because the disciples found this story a little confusing they also and asked Jesus to explain if further. Because our God is not a God of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33), Jesus explained what this parable meant.

“Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, ‘Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.’ He answered and said unto them, ‘He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.’” (Matthew 13:36 – 42 KJV)

A closer study of this parable would seem to completely disprove the theory of a secret rapture of the church. Let’s take a look at what Jesus had to say about the time of the end through this parable. There are two groups on the earth represented by the wheat (the good or the church) and the tares (the evil). The workers of the field (probably representing angels) are troubled by the tares that the evil one (the devil) has planted. They ask the farmer (Jesus) if they should gather the weeds now and purify the field (the world). The farmer (Jesus) said that it should not happen that way because some of the wheat may come up with the tares. He then declares, “Let both grow together until the harvest (the end of the world): and in the time of harvest (the end of the world) I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” I find it hard to be a proponent of a secret rapture for the church when Jesus said that both the good and the evil will grow together until the harvest (the end of the world). How can the church be raptured, leaving the evil on the earth, when Jesus said they will be together until the very end?

There is another issue raised by this parable. Many well intentioned Christians use the story in Matthew 24:40 & 41 and Luke 17:34 – 36 as key proof of a secret rapture for the church, but if we examine this story about the end times with the earlier story Jesus told about the end times in Matthew 13, we get a completely different picture from what most Christians interpret this story to mean. Let’s look at what Jesus said in these verses.

“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.” (Matthew 24:40 – 42 KJV)

“I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.” (Luke 17:34 – 36 KJV)

Now I do not think that I am wrong in thinking that most Christians interpret these stories to mean that the man taken from the field, the woman that is taken while grinding, and the man taken in his sleep are the ones that belong to the group that is the church and are ruptured. This does not seem to be a plausible explanation however. Jesus gives an order for things to happen back in Matthew 13. “Gather ye together first the tares (the evil), and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat (the good or the church) into my barn.” Jesus clearly says that the evil will be gathered first. If we take this understanding and apply it to Matthew 24 and Luke 17, we get a very different understanding. The ones that are taken are not in the group we want to be in. The ones who are taken are the tares (the evil) that are being gathered to be burned, but the ones that are left are the wheat (the good) that are saved.

There is another metaphor that many well intentioned Christians use to support a secret rapture for the church; I feel that this too is an invalid interpretation of a story.

“But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” (Matthew 24:43 & 44 KJV)

“And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.” (Luke 12:39 & 40 KJV)

“For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” (1 Thessalonians 5:2 KJV)

“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.” (2 Peter 3:10 KJV)

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” (Revelation 16:15 KJV)

Here again, most Christians would attempt to say that this metaphor of a thief in the night is depicting a secret rapture for the church. I believe that most Christians have misinterpreted this too. First, Jesus explains what this metaphor means. He says that the meaning is not that the second coming is a secret but we do not know when it will occur. If we knew what day the Lord was to come, we would get ready the day before it, but since we do not know the day or the hour (Matthew 24:36), we must be ever ready! Just examine what Peter had to say of this metaphor in 2 Peter 3:10; he says that when the Lord comes as a thief,” the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therine shall be burned up.” Now I am not sure how all that could be kept a secret from anyone or how people would be able to live on the earth when it has passed away, burned up, and all the elements in it have melted.

Answer 7

you are only part right..the rapture is real and we will go for awhile but then return when Christ Jesus and will come back after the tribulation and set up the new kingdom on earth...it is all very clearly written for all to see in revelations ...go read it for yourselves...as well as in 1thes etc..

Answer 8

Even if you don't believe the rapture will happen, mark my words. Jesus will return and each of will have to stand before Him in His blazing glory and spotless justice. we all will have to give account for every thing we have ever done, thought, or said. " The Lord will by no means clear the guilty". We are all gulity of sin and need a Savior. Or you can just pretend the Bible is false, christianity is made up, Jesus never rose from the dead and try to pay for your own sins by just being a good person. Good luck! "By the deeds of the law (our attempts at trying to be good) no flesh will be justified in His sight for by the law comes only the knowledge of sin", not the remedy for sin. "For the wages of sin is death BUT the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus..." Repent of your sin and "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved" today.

Answer 9

"in the twinkling of an eye... we shall join Him in the clouds." There is NOWHERE in the Bible that talks about an eternal earthly kingdom... just a milenial reign. as the Lord said to the thief on the cross: "... today you shall be with me in paradise." "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Don't listen to men... read God's Word!!!!

Answer 10

Apocalyptic thinking is simply irresponsible bullcrap. There is no new world or anything else coming. Many groups have committed suicide, killed others, acted the fool and generally gone nuts because of the Rapture, the Armageddon, the Apocalypse, etc.

Typical primitive religionist thinking--destroy the world you have, and some nice god is going to bring a shiny new one--but only for you and your friends!

Does this make any sense???
