Most of the people who answered my question said that the rupture has no biblical basis, and I am inclined to agree. Then someone mentioned rapture spelled with an a. Would you people be more in favor of a rapture than a rupture, cause rapture brings with it the connotation of being enraptured. And that sounds like something I could get involved in. Any info at all would help.

There is no such thing as the Rupture or the Rapture, or whatever you want to call it.
It's a myth perpetrated by idiot church people, and look at the idiot answers you got on this one.
Lord have mercy. Or as they say in Alubuma: Lawd hab mussy!

"Rapture" means 'to be caught away".
.The 'rapture ' of the Church occurs simultaneously with Christ's second Coming in glory and the resurrection of the dead.............All occur together,(see I Thess. 5:15-17); ..."AFTER the Tribulation of those days"(Matt. 24:29-31)
"...At the LAST trumpet"... I Corin. 15:52
Don't be deceived by the fictional "Left Behind" series....which is based on a common misconception that claims the 'rapture' occurs years before Christ's Return. This is not found in Scripture.

The word (and theological belief) is rapture. It is mentioned many times in both the gospels and revavlation. The word rapture isnt said, i dont think. But what we call rapture is just the theory of jesus coming back for all christians. That is talked about all over in the bible.

If I had to choose, I would definitely choose rapture over rupture. Sounds less painful.

Yes, the rapture. very controversial. . but we are tought to expect the return of the Lord at any time. not after seven years of specifically detailed events to precede the Lord's return for believers. I believe it will happen before the 70th week after the time of the gentiles and before the the anti-christ enters the world seen.

I suggest you look in a Bible or go to the site below and do a Bible search. Just for interest, here are the tallies:
rapture=0
rupture=0
I think you are referring to 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
