Do you believe in a body rapture or spritual rapture?

Question

I think our bodys,and soul will be called up.I mean think about it ,it'll be harder to explain away when billions disappear not just drop dead.

Answer 1

I believe in a bodily resurrection from the dead, and a bodily ascension of those still living at Christ's return. I don't buy into the pre-tribulation rapture philosophy, I don't really find good scriptural evidence for it when taken in context - however, like everyone else's opinion on the matter, I could be wrong!

Answer 2

It's the whole man - spirit, soul and body - that go up in the rapture.

In I Corinthians 15:52-54, it talks about our bodies being changed (though that's not where the rapture is spoken about, it shows that the dead in Christ rise physically before the rapture and we all put on the same type of immortal body which Jesus had when He was raised from the dead) - 52-"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [sound of the] last trumpet call. For a trumpet will sound, and the dead [in Christ] will be raised imperishable (free and immune from decay), and we shall be changed (transformed)."
53-"For this perishable [part of us] must put on the imperishable [nature], and this mortal [part of us, this nature that is capable of dying] must put on immortality (freedom from death)."
54-"And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished forever) in and unto victory. [Isa. 25:8.]"

Then, in I Thessalonians 4:16 & 17:

16-"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the blast of the trumpet of God. And those who have departed this life in Christ will rise first."
17-"Then we, the living ones who remain [on the earth], shall simultaneously be caught up along with [the resurrected dead] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so always (through the eternity of the eternities) we shall be with the Lord!"

There's the rapture, and it talks, again, about the dead in Christ rising first and then all of us going up together. The dead in Christ can't rise spiritually, because their spirits have been in Heaven all this time not in the grave (only the body dies).

The way I see it, Paul is saying that the dead rise, we all receive our immortal bodies, then we are all called up.

Answer 3

At the rapture all three parts of the person (body, soul and spirit will rise from this earth and the body will instantly be changed into our glorified bodies. Even the graves of those who have gone on before will open up and the dead in Christ will rise first and we shall meet them in the air.

Answer 4

"SPIRITUAL".....1 Corinthians 15 : 35 - 36 .. But some man will say , How are the dead raised up ? and with what body do they come ? Thou fool , that which thou sowest is not quickened , except it die. { KJB } 1 Corinthians 15 : 44 .. It is sown a natural body ; it is raised a spiritual body . There is a natural body , and there is a spiritual body . { KJB }

Answer 5

I believe that we will shed our physical bodies, I believe in the experience of going toward the light. I believe in the spiritual rapture.

Answer 6

some truly superb prophecies have come real, yet i do no longer think any of them got here from Howard tenting. i do no longer think of there is reason for undertaking. i do no longer remember the precise date, however an identical ingredient got here approximately lower back in the 1800's. Farmers did no longer undertaking to plant plant life, and human beings have been having intercourse in the streets by means of fact they believed the top became into close to. It have been given so undesirable that Joseph Smith, the prophet, testified in the call of Christ that he (Christ) does no longer come that year. it ought to look stupid to us, yet hundreds believed the observe of a preacher, whilst they could desire to have believed the observe of the prophet. Joseph Smith prophesied that the celebrities could fall from heaven interior 40 days. that honestly did ensue on the fortieth day - November thirteenth, 1833 - the night sky became into vibrant with 1000's of hundreds of falling stars. human beings stayed up all night and watched in amazement. In medical words, the earth crossed the orbit of a comet. Atheists could only say he have been given fortunate, yet Joseph became into commonly "fortunate" in that way. He had many prophecies that got here real to the letter. He advised Orin Porter Rockwell, the federal marshal and gunfighter, that he could in no way be shot, and he in no way became into. He advised Dr. Richards that the day could come whilst bullets could rain down on him like hail, yet he could go through lots as a hollow in his clothing; Joseph became into innovations-blowing on the two counts. He predicted the civil conflict, and that the north and south could call on different worldwide places for help, and that the treaties between worldwide places could deliver approximately a worldwide conflict - all of which occured. He predicted that Jackson County could be devastated, that the only ingredient left status may be the chimneys. The Union armies observed to that. He predicted the give way of the U. S. government. This prophesy became into a minimum of in part fulfilled by means of fact the U. S. became into ruled by using Whigs on the time. They lost potential and not in any respect gained yet another election. The civil conflict could have been approximately slavery to those in the North, in spite of the undeniable fact that it became into extra approximately freedom to those in the South. They feared that the U. S. government had already gained too lots potential over interior sight affairs. With the renounce of the South, "those u . s ." grew to develop into "the u . s .".
