Do You Believe In Rapture?

Answer 1

This is amazing, I had never heard of anything like it before ever, but I just read up on it, thanks for the question mate.

and no i don't beleive in it

Answer 2

I do, but according to the Bible, not according to the "Left Behind" series. The "Left Behind" doctrine believes that Christians will be secretly raptured, leaving only their clothes behind. They believe that everyone else will go on about their business. But this is not what the Bible says. The Bible tells us that when Christ returns, both the living and the dead who are saved will be raptured in full view of everyone, and Christ will be visible to the whole world. There will be no "secret" rapture. It will be a very noisy event, and no one will miss it. The saved will be raptured up to meet Christ in the air, and the wicked dead will be slain by the brightness of His coming. Then all the wicked dead at that point will remain dead until the end of the Millennium, at which time they will be resurrected to judgment. Fire will rain down from Heaven upon them and consume them immediately. They will not suffer forever. Once the Earth has been purged of all sin, God will set about re-creating the Earth the way it used to be before the Fall, which all the saved will be able to enjoy.

Answer 3

The more I researched the Bible--especially after reading the Left Behind series--the more I felt that there would be no rapture. That the living Christians would have to live through the tribulation until Jesus comes back--"Like a thief in the night" to fight that final battle. Of course--I hope that I am wrong and that Jesus is coming soon--before it all breaks loose.

Answer 4

No, it is a false teaching.
2 Peter 3:8-15 – instead of worrying about when the rapture will occur, Christians should follow Peter’s instruction to repent of their sins, live lives of holiness and godliness, be zealous and at peace, and wait for the Lord’s coming with forbearance and joy!

Answer 5

Yes, the actual word rapture is not mentioned in the Bible. It is just an easy word for us to use which describes what God will do. Rapture means to be taken up AND in
1 Thessolonians 4:16 it says 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:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words

Answer 6

No my faith is not in the Rapture but in Jesus Christ. But Jesus said that He is coming back and I believe He will come back for us just as He said. Now If I am off in what I personally believe about the rapture and when and how it will happen, be that as it may, I don't believe I am off about Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Salvation for all those who believe in Him.

Answer 7

In the Rapture yes I do

Answer 8

The rapture is not Biblical. In fact, check out Ezek 13:20 (even back up to 18) - God tells you He's against those who teach His people to fly to save their souls;
The rapture theory is dangerous, because it tells folks that the first Jesus who comes is Christ who's come to rapture them out before all the bad stuff happens - So why's that so bad? Because the Bible is very clear that The antichrist will be first to come, NOT JESUS. Antichrist comes on the 6th trump; Jesus returns on the 7th trump. Can people not count anymore? Anyway, if the rapture believers are looking for Jesus to come rapture them, who will they end up being raptured to? The first "jesus" who comes by - ut oh.
When you read of two working in the field; one is taken, the other left. There are actually books written called "left behind" - and oh, nobody wants to be left behind. Well, I have sorry news, but if the reader would take a deep breath, back up and look for the object and the subject that is being discussed, they would realize that the subject is about the antichrist coming first. I don't want to offend anyone, but these facts are all but cemented in the orig manuscripts - look, we all want to be with Jesus - theres nothing wrong with that - but He's coming here, you see? You want to be here, working in the vineyard, waiting patiently for His return.
In Revelation, 4:1 "After this, I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with ME, which said "come up hither".

Many people teach this verse as if it were applicable to rapture; it is said that this is the church being raptured. Well, its not.
You need to look at the subject and the object. The subject is John; the object is him going up there so that he could be shown something. Now I ask you: who was being taken up hither?
Was it the church, or was it John? The first word of verse 4:1 is what? It was " I" - thats singular, just John.
What about Thes 1, 4:16 ? When Paul says the Lord will decent with the shout of the trumpet, and we will be caught up together with him in the clouds - Thats a Greek idiom (or saying) -and it means in a great cloud of people, a large group, in other words. Where it says "in the air" thats 'ruach", or the spirit - we will meet Christ in a large cloud of people, all together, and in the spiritual body. thats what it means -thats what the manuscripts say. Remember on the 7th trump, at Christs return, we are all changed into our spiritual bodies - thats everybody, not just good people -everybody - you won't be near Christ in the flesh - he won't permit it. When 2nd Thess. was written, the massorah, or the footnotes of the manuscripts, tell us that the same people were still with Paul as were with him when he wrote 1st Thess.
He quickly wrote 2nd thess, in haste, because he was concerned about people misunderstanding this first letter.
So, in 2nd Thess, he writes (IIThess 2:1) Paul says now I want to talk to you about the gathering back to our Lord, and I don't want you to be troubled or upset, by spirit, or by word, nor by letter, as from us, about that day when Christ returns - (v.3) let no man deceive you by any means, for that day SHALL NOT COME except there be a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition - Who is the son of perdition? Theres only one choice - the only one God already sentenced to perish (by name) and that is Satan. So what did Paul say here?
That Christ would not gather back to us until AFTER antichrist comes. Thats clear, right? Mark 13 is a chronological listing of the events leading up to the return of Christ. No where is there any indication that anybody will be taken anywhere. The way you escape the hour of temptation is by knowing the truth - The antichrist cannot deceive you if you know he's a fake. And if you are in the flesh when someone comes performing miracles, saying he's Jesus Christ, its the fake. When Christ's feet touch the mount of olives, we are changed into spiritual bodies. One of the things on the list at Mark 13:21 is: "and then if any man shall say to you, lo, here is Christ, or lo, He is there! Believe him NOT, for false Christs shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect." Of course, it will not be possible for you, as long as you know that he's the false christ. Don't be deceived by the rapture theory.

Answer 9

no and yes well for one thing the bible talkes about more then 1 prophecy Armageddon the rapture jesus's second coming but what doesn't make sense is how is ALL that going to take place?

Answer 10

No...

It's worrying that some presumably deeply religious people actually seem to want to hasten 'Armageddon' & the 'Rapture'...so that they can be taken to 'Heaven'...& then back to a sin free Earth...

It's all nonsense.

Answer 11

No.
The rapture is not mentioned anywhere in the bible.
Somebody made that up.
