“The Rapture” precludes mystical rapture, which happens when God lifts our heart in prayer and worship
ah, you seem awful sure. Imo "the" Rapture is not even derived from the correct root
plus are you sure our hearts are lifted, and not our spirits?
and why "in prayer and worship?"

i mean, not disagreeing necessarily, but why limit it in this flowery-sounding religious way, wadr?
imo it provides a completely diff characterization than what lending an orphan or widow a hand really looks like. I can literally hear the masonry you are surrounded by there @ "when God lifts our heart in prayer and worship" bro
lol
tink abou dat jazz man k

1st Thessalonians4:16-18 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and The dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we always be with the Lord.

Do you love Jesus more than you love yourself?
dont we usually put ourselves in His place when we are reading?
Jesus has taught me to love myself and now I can love my neighbor as myself, which allows me to see and love Christ within my neighbor.

I love God because He first loved me
same question

“The” is the limiting factor.
Also, my post was speaking generally, not dogmatically
It was not meant to be authoritative

My post are always opinion.
It is all I, or anyone else can provide

it is up to readers to take what they find useful and leave the rest

if you could get to where you think you want to go you would be bored to tears and most likely suicidal
:)
strange but true

you could say the same thing about choosing to wear glasses and be equally wrong

i would keep an open mind there ok, it is liable to not happen like the picture in your mind, as other Scripture clarifies
See 1st Thessalonians 4:16-18 or see my post above with the verse.

same question
Colossians 3:14-15 KJV
[14] And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. [15] And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.


Tecarta Bible
whats wrong with that they may be one, as we are one right now?


I don’t have a problem with that.

the word “The” limits the concept of rapture to a single event.
In my post I provided other examples of rapture, which imo are equally as miraculous (prayer, worship) as this future event
I see kinda like saying THE sunrise
