The problem is there is no such thing as doing "Rapture" done in a little bit different fashion". Its a contradiction to begin with There is no Rapture ..as in Christ taking anyone anywhere..Pre post or mid ..Christ descends to earth at his second coming not before.
it always gets to personal attacks because Rapture Supporters always think us Non Rapture people just need to be educated the right way and we will see the light and become Rapture believers.
The pity is just by claiming to believe Rapture you have proved you do not know scripture at all before you even start.. so nothing you say matters at that point ..
To those who know it isnt written and is simply a teaching of men we know its not a matter of how we understand a thing that doesnt exist in the first place
Its a little like trying to tell us why little green men are really red ... No they arent they are little green men ..
Yet you insist it's our misunderstanding not yours ...
I watched a religious special on T.V. a few weeks ago ..What totally shocked me was the number of Theolgians and scholars who admitted and discussed the fact Rapture wasnt written in scripture anywhere ...
Yet in the next min defend it and teach it anyway..they teach a doctrine not written deceive men and call themselves men of God ..Im reminded of James 3:1 ...
Hello Avoice, so the judgment continues huh? I am beginning to feel like Job!!! Let God be my judge, I have done nothing of the sort on anything that you wrote in your posting.
Please answer my questions Avoice. No matter where one puts the "rapture" (pre, mid, post) there still will be a "rapture" ...that is undeniable. "it always gets to personal attacks because Rapture Supporters always think us Non Rapture people just need to be educated the right way and we will see the light and become Rapture believers" Are personal attacks justified by the scriptures Avoice? Am I personally attacking you guys? You say that I need to "see the light", but are you walking in "the light" by condoning personal attacks against me? You falsely claim that I am calling "little green men" little red men, when I have done nothing of the sort. I haven't stated my position on the "rapture", nor have I even had a chance to begin my in depth study on the "rapture". Instead, I have had to spend the entire time (thus far) in this thread trying to defend my name!
"I watched a religious special on T.V. a few weeks ago ..What totally shocked me was the number of Theolgians and scholars who admitted and discussed the fact Rapture wasnt written in scripture anywhere ... Yet in the next min defend it and teach it anyway" This is an old argument that you guys continue to bring up which holds no water. The phrase "Second Coming" isn't in the Bible either, yet most everyone uses that phrase. Both events are real and will happen, it's just a question of the timing on when the events will occur. Just because the word "rapture" isn't in the scriptures (everyone knows this guys - you aren't "educating" me by telling me this, ha, ha), doesn't mean that it is not an event. If you claim to be a "non rapture" person, then I guess that means that you don't expect to be "caught up" by the Lord.
Maybe I made a mistake in this forum by starting my first thread on the doctrine of the "rapture" prior to starting my first thread on what is more important - walking in God's love (the Love Walk).

Hi thekindgomkeys,
The perspective to your delimma is found in Matt. 16:6, and as I attempted to address in my first Topic in this Forum: http://www.christian...eligious-forum/ .
And where there are those who sow tares, if these are bypassed by the gatherers for the burning, I am willing to work along side you in harvesting the wheat.
What "dilemma" ProphecyStudent? Tell me how you can know that I have a "dilemma" on my stand on the doctrine of the "rapture" when I have yet to tell anyone what my stand is? I challenge you to find anywhere in this thread where I have claimed to be "pre, mid or post"?

Hi thekingdomkeys,
I appreciate your attempt to perform an objective analysis of this ~rapture~ concept. As characterized in my previous post, it appears you are more interested in studying the nuances of the various analogies, metaphores, similies, inferences, shadows, and types. Would this be correct?
Thank you ProphecyStudent for acknowledging that you appreciate my attempting to have an objective analysis on the rapture concept. Am I more interested in studying the nuances of the "various analogies, metaphores, similies, inferences, shadows, and types"? No I'm not, these are all important individually, but I want to analyze the entire picture and was hoping that I would get a few of you guys that would be interested in doing it with me.
