RAPTURE ??????????
The origins of the doctrine of the rapture are hotly debated. The Orthodox, mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic churches, which represent the majority of Christians worldwide, have no tradition of such a teaching and reject the doctrine, in part because they cannot find any reference to it among any of the early Church fathers [1] and in part because they do not interpret the scriptures the way that Rapture-believers do.
The Truth of Catholic doctrine is just as true now as it was 2,000 years ago, no matter how badly it may be presented in our confusing times. Hang on to the Faith and never let hierarchs or bad presentations of the Faith keep you from Truth and the Sacraments.

The be unsleeping "rapture" does no longer take position interior the Bible. the idea-with connection with the Rapture, notwithstanding, is of route taught in Scripture. The Rapture of the church is the style in which God receives rid of all believers from the earth with the intention to make way for His righteous judgment to be poured out in the international for the era of the Tribulation era. The Rapture is defined more advantageous frequently than no longer in a million Thessalonians 4:13-18 and a million Corinthians 15:50-fifty 4. a million Thessalonians 4:13-18 describes the Rapture as God resurrecting all believers who've died, giving them glorified bodies, and then departing the earth with those believers who've been nonetheless alive, who've also been given glorified bodies. "For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the useless in Christ will upward thrust first. After that, we who're nonetheless alive and are left should be stuck up such as them interior the clouds to satisfy the Lord interior the air. And as a thanks to be with the Lord continuously" (a million Thessalonians 4:16-17). a million Corinthians 15:50-fifty 4 focuses on the instant nature of the Rapture and on the glorified bodies we may be able to acquire. "listen, I allow you to comprehend a secret: we gained't all sleep, yet we may be able to all get replaced - in a flash, interior the jiffy, on the finest trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the useless should be raised imperishable, and we may be able to get replaced" (a million Corinthians 15:51-52). The Rapture is the brilliant adventure lets prefer to continuously all be longing for. we may be able to ultimately be loose from sin. we would properly be in God's presence continuously. there's a methods too a lot debate over the meaning and scope of the Rapture. it rather isn't God’s reason. extremely, with connection with the Rapture, God needs us to “inspire one yet another with those words.”

Have you lost your mind?
The rapture was a fantasy dreamed up by Margret MacDonald in 1830! THAT IS A FACT!
It is not in your stupid bible! In fact it is written in your stupid bible in 1 Corinthains 15:50 that FLESH AND BLOOD CAN NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD!
If this rapture crap is true then this is false! That or there would be lots of DEAD BODIES all at once!
No vanishing act just DEATH!
Why must a Satanist point out this obvious bullshit?

Did you know that the rapture is not talked about any where in the bible. It is a human idea. So why put any faith in it.
