:::So then, in your opinion, Paul is talking about a different return of Jesus than what Peter is saying."""
..
Paul - 1 Thess 4:16-7 "caught up" into the clouds instantly in the twinkle of an eye - 1 Cor 15:52
..
Peter etc - Matt 24:31 a gathering process that does not state the process happens instantaneously
So
you are thinking that 2 Thes. 1:10
doesn't reveal anyone being "caught up into the clouds instantly"? Not so! Please notice the word
"WHEN".
7
And to you who are troubled rest with us, WHEN the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10
WHEN he shall COME to be glorified in his saints [dead in Christ], and to be admired in all them that believe [we who are ALIVE and remain] (because our testimony among you was believed) in that DAY.
Because the word
"revealed" is used in the above scriptures,
you disagree with them because it doesn't specifically line up to your
man made doctrine of a so called SECRET Rapture, whereby Jesus SECRETLY returns, and the saints are supposedly snatched away and upto Christ, of which NO ONE ELSE can see!!
I vehemently disagree with anything that promotes a SECRET Rapture.
