I'll be glad when out neighborhood preacher gets raptured. I have dibs on his Silverado pickup.

Because there is NO SUCH THING as a rapture. Yes, Jesus will return. But according to the Bible, He will return ONLY once. All the Christians will still be here, except the ones who have died as martyrs. There will be no rapture until after the tribulation. We haven't seen the rise of an antichrist, the mark of the beast implemented, or any other signs yet. We still have a way to go yet. All the pre-trib Christians should really be preparing, because they've been taught a very false teaching. The idea of a pre-tribulation "calling away" has only been around for less than 200 years. It's one of the false teachings spoken of in prophecy.

You are asking a question that ONLY God can answer. According to the Word of God, only God knows the date when Jesus will return (Second Coming of Jesus) and the Rapture will be 7 yrs before this. No one knows the dates of the Rapture or the Second Coming. We can know the season, but not the actual date. And NO, the true christians will not be left behind to suffer the judgments to come. God bless

Because all of the scripture leading up to the rapture has not been fulfilled and because only God knows the time it will happen. We haven't been left behind. You'll know when it happens.

I would say so. I do not think the Rapture thing is going to happen. It is not a Biblical thing no matter how hard they try to twist Scripture.

No, Jesus has not come.
Only God knows the exact date and time of the Rapture. Since people predicted it would be today, it couldnt possibly be. Plus, Jesus can only come once and the world has many timezones.

The rapture hasn't happened yet.

We're too busy being ruptured by those who don't like us to find rapture.

Maybe. It just occured to me, how do we know that there isn't another religion that has already been taken to heaven and we're all left behind on earth? And that none of us know what we're talking about. How would we know if we've been chosen to enter heaven unless we were already there?

Yeah. It's funny that they think that they are the only ones eagerly awaiting this. I am so looking forward to the planet's mean IQ score to go up by 30 points.
