For those that believe in the rapture????

Question

What is your religious background? I mean, did you grow up Christian? Are you the same denomination? Were you raised to believe in the rapture? If not, how did you come upon this belief? Did you believe it right away or over time?

What about us who don't (as I don't either)? I am just curious at the moment about those that do, thanks.

liv E, you don't have to apologize to ME!

Answer 1

I become what I am after I studied Islam.
Please, don't hate me. I learned it is not for me. and now I am what I am.

I believe in Allah, but don't believe Allah / God would give an important job such as preaching religion to a person like Muhammad. He was not perfect, and he had his faults just like all of us. I don't want to say what they are. No one is perfect, and it is none of my business. Muslims seems more and more to placed him above all. Sorry, can't do. May God / Allah forgive his sins and have mercy on him. May he rest in peace. He does sometimes come to mind when I pray, and do pray for him that God will forgive his sins just as I do for anyone else.

I chose to believe in a person who asked for love and peace. That is Jesus Christ. Muhammad did teach peace, but it was not without some stipulation. It is kind of be peaceful, but in case so and so, and can fight for Allah. Mixed messages.

God Bless

Edit:
I just want to let you know that I believe you can believe as you wish. That is all.

Peace to you and yours.

Edit:
Thank you all who voted for me. up or down.

FEZ™ ~I luv Sujood! ~ , are you going to hold that against me! It seems the more thumbs up I get, the more I get misjudged.

Thank you for your time.

Answer 3

I was not raised in the church and did not grow up a Christian. I was nineteen when I accepted Christ. I started reading as much of the Bible as I could. When I was twenty, I had to read it again for a Bible class and I read Revelation for the first time. I was very interested and wanted to know more about the meaning of Revelation. I did not disbelieve it first, I just didn't understand it. When you read with an understanding of Old Testament prophecy and you take it at its word unless it is obviously symbolic then you begin to understand and see the whole picture. This is not something I was taught, it is something I have read about and studied on my own time.

Answer 4

I was brought up Catholic, but left when I was young. I got involved with a group called The Way. While staying with someone near their HQ, I saw a book in his library called Are the Dead Alive Now that covered scriptures dealing with, among other things, the rapture/gathering together.

I was fascinated. One of the things I always wondered about was how everything was going to turn out in the end. I read the book cover to cover twice in one sitting before I put it down.

I've been believing it ever since.

Answer 5

I was raised in an non-denominational church known as the Berean church. We were raised to believe in the rapture as is mentioned in the book of Revelations. The Sunday School teachers began to teach us the book of revelations at the age of 12 or about the seventh grade, it is also known as the age of confirmation. I did believe it right away because I was taught to believe that theWord of God is the Truth.

Answer 6

I was raised in a christian family. But i never really cared for any of the stuff. I had my own thing and did my own thing. I didnt care bout anything. Until i went to this youth service, I came to god. I understood everything, and i accepted him as my lord and savior. I thank god for waiting on me and giving me a second chance. I love jesus and i do everything i can to live for him only. As for your question. I had doubts bout the rapture since the word rapture is not stated in the bible. In the bible it says we will be caught up in the air with Christ before the tribulation. It is in the bible. Jesus said, blessed are t hose who have not seen and yet believe. And in revelation it says. behold i am coming soon and my reward is with me. ...

I agree that God the daddy is familiar with and not the Son. it is real that we don't be attentive to the day or the hour of the Rapture, yet we are commanded to be attentive to the season of Jesus return for us on the Rapture, and be waiting and watching.
