You're projecting again.
The Book is Revelation. If you don't know that, you probably shouldn't be teaching eschatology.lain:
The fact that you even have to go there to make yourself appear to be more knowledgeable is all the observation I need of you
I've always said 'revelations' by mistake, knowing it is 'revelation'. But, be petty, and preach your fad- because that's all rapture theory is, a fashion that comes and goes and appeals to the weak minded.
Hopefully you have an Abraham in the family (Ge 18:25-26, Jas 5:16). :idunno:

Well, you actually posted something that is correct. Kudos.
Rapture theology was invented in the 1800's. It is a doctrine of men that nullifies the Word of God.

Because doctrinally, the Reformed never fully broke away from Rome and so remain much more closely related to you than to us.

I think SD's already left the planet so there's some proof for the 'rapture'...
False. The Reformed tradition is the heart of Protestantism.
The non-traditional, contemporary Christians are Darbyists, and see any notion that existed before the mid 1800's as 'Catholic'
Rapture theory did not exist ANYWHERE in historical eschatology- it is an invention of late, as with many other things. Like 'free grace'. Or 'dispensationalism'.
None of it is orthodox.

Now see what you went and did? You started out so good, then ended up in the DUMMY box.
FAIL
'Biblical Christianity' is nothing what it is today, and you all don't really follow it. What you follow, is what is convenient to you- that is all contemporary Christianity is.
The Reformists put together a dogmatic theology which suffices perfectly, and which has NO NEED at all for the inventions of the past few centuries- people strive to make the gospel easier and easier, and a 'rapture' is the epitome of that.
So now you won't face martyrdom. Give me a break- you want a headset and a movie for the way up to? :doh:

Your opinion counts for nothing.
The 'Rapture' is mostly new age wishful thinking, which has led to nothing but false prophets and Christians making fools of themselves.
When the End Times approach, ever Christian worth their salt will know it- and one would be wise not to go off into the hills looking for a clear spot to assume upward
Wishful thinking, you muse, "Rambo?"
Next up: The gospel of Christ, including the resurrection,is new age wishful thinking.
Our mistake, droid, mistakenly "thinking" that hope, biblically, means "confident expectation."
1 Thessalonians 2:19 KJV For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
1 Thes. 4 KJV
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 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.
Sit.

There is no clear indication of a 'rapture', because there isn't one.
Which is why it never historically existed in eschatology.
Sure, you can cherry pick- that's what you all do to 'prove' anything. But the fact is that the historical view is the only one that is maintained through scripture.

The Body of Christ is not appointed to wrath.
The wrath begins to be poured out upon the earth in Revelation ch. 6.
That means the Body of Christ must be removed from the earth prior to Revelation 6.
And that's the reason why the 'rapture' is bogus, because it sits entirely on the wishful interpretation that the church is not talked about after a certain point in the book
The traditional, historical belief is that the wicked return to their un-regenerated bodies as bone and death, and are judged at the Throne. Those still alive are either glorified or face judgement- it is a reunion of the damned and saved, and the culling of the living.
If you have a problem with that, then you have a problem indeed- you're in for a rude awakening :wave:
