then i would contemplate stopping, were i you, wadrYes!!! We choose to believe God's Word or mock and scoff at it and the mockers pay a high price!
happens just as often now as then too, i reckon; you can meet Him in the air, today, nothing has changedThe Rapture is always imminent. It could take place at any time. Thus it doesn't matter how many times it has been expected throughout the history of the Church. It was just as possible then as it is now.

The rapture is imminent in that no signs or prophecies need occur for it to occur. The Church had to first be born which began in (Acts 2). The knowledge of the rapture would not come until Paul received his revelation from Jesus Christ and later put it into writing.
As to Peter's death and Paul's preaching in Rome, that is not given to indicate a time frame for the rapture. That these things would occur first, yes. That they needed to occur first, no.
Concerning Daniels 70 weeks, you misunderstand the Second Coming.
Concerning the preaching of the kingdom in (Matt. 24) you misunderstand the kingdom.

You said the rapture was always imminent,proved you wrong and then you say,when the Church came to be.
Needed to occur yes they did,else scripture couldn't be fulfilled as written
The rapture is imminent. You proved nothing but a google list you found somewhere. You showed ignorance concerning the Second coming and the Kingdom.
Nothing ever needed to occur for the Church to be raptured. (Jonah 3:4) "And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." See?

Could the rapture be imminent before Peter died?
John 21:18-19
Could the rapture be imminent before the temple was destroyed?
Lu 21:6, Mt 24:2, Mk 13:2
Could the rapture be imminent before Israel became a nation in 1948?
Daniel 9:24
Can rapture be imminent if "the Antichrist" must be revealed first?
2 Th 2:1-4
Can the rapture be imminent before the sun and moon grow dark and the signs described by our Lord come to pass?
Luke 21:28
According to Luke 21,
it is only "when these things begin to take place" that we can
"look up and raise your heads,
because your redemption is drawing near."
All I googled was the things Christ(not me)said would happen proving imminence was not possible
try again.
Again,all scripture
Show me ONE verse in all of scripture where it says Christ could return at anytime,just ONE!!!!!!!!!
We are not talking about the Return of Christ. We are talking about the Rapture. Until you recognize the difference you will remain confused.

Heck yea Im confused,which leads me back to my orignal question,when did the rapture become imminent ????
So what you trying to tell me is Christ could have raptured Peter and Paul before He said what would happen to them?????
The rapture has always been imminent as no signs or prophecies are necessary to be fulfilled for it to occur. Just as I said earlier.
Concerning Peter and Paul's experience, the timing of the rapture is not centered on them.
Did you not read (Jonah 3:4)?
