Why not just believe God's Word on the catching up (rapture)??

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain """shall be caught up together""" with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words

Why not believe ALL... of the 1 Thess.4 Scripture by Apostle Paul, instead of your doing a cut and paste to try and fit it into men's doctrines of a false pre-trib rapture?

I already showed you what Paul taught in 1 Thess.4. It aligns perfectly with what Jesus taught in Matthew 24:29-31 and Mark 13:24-27 about His coming after the tribulation to gather His Church.

1. Jesus' coming===to catch up (rapture) believers
2. asleep saints are resurrected===== dead and living saints bodies are raised and changed to new and immortal
3. Jesus brings the asleep saints with Him, as He descends to the earth.===spirits of dead saints receive a new immortal body
4. Jesus catches up the alive saints on earth to Him and the asleep saints, in the air above the earth.===and the are taken to heaven while the great tribulation judgments come on earth.
5. Jesus and His Church goes to Jerusalem, on earth. ====when Jesus returns to set up His kingdom on earth.
6. All eyes see Him, the veil that has hid the heavenly dimension is removed, and heaven is revealed even on earth. ===God will make His home on the re-newed earth with His family!!

That part in red is ADDING TO SCRIPTURE, and those doing that will answer to Jesus for it.

There is NOTHING written about Jesus taking His Church back into Heaven. The heavenly dimension is revealed ON the earth when He comes, which is how ALL EYES will see His coming! John Darby in 1830's Great Britain instead taught that Jesus gathers His Church prior to the tribulation, and that it is a SECRET coming, i.e., not all eyes will see Him, which goes directly... against the Rev.1 Scripture that says all eyes will see Him coming in the clouds.

Read scripture=== Jesus is physically in heaven today!===
1Thessalonians 4:16 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:

1Thessalonians 4:17 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. ""

1Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Jesus is physically in heaven today and He will catch up believers to be there with Him until He returns to earth with us to set up His kingdom here!

...most of us know the 7 yr trib consists of two 3 1/2 yr parts. one peaceful, one terrible.
...

Your (not Scripture's) "7-year-tribulation" theory is based upon a FALSE rendering of the Daniel 9 seventieth week. If you obey the angel's instructions in 12:4 & 9, you should find a fulfillment (with NO GAPS) in the era approximate to 1948.

I'd be more than happy to walk through what Daniel 9 ACTUALLY SAYS, -- both Scripturally and Historically --, but most people prefer their doctrines over the TRUTH of Scripture! :)

Great! If you trust men, then fall with men. But if you trust Scripture, then you stand with GOD. -- And I choose the latter! :)

This IS scripture!!!! Believe it!!

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain """shall be caught up together""" with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words1 Corinthians 15:51- 57
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is very sad, really, but people who have believed the 'wolves among the flock', who taught the 'pre-trib rapture to heaven', are locked into it. Shown by scriptures like Isaiah 29:9-12, Isaiah 42:18-20, Ephesians 4:18, +

The best we who refute that false teaching can do, is to present what will actually happen, so when the Lord takes action and disaster strikes; they will remember that the Bible does tell us God's plans for His faithful people; not to harm them, but to give them an amazing future. Many prophesies tell of this time, where every Christian person will live in all of the holy Land being the people God always wanted there; His witnesses, Isaiah 43:10, John 15:27 and His Light to the nations. Isaiah 493-8, Matthew 5:14-16

Jesus does not lie!!! Jesus says pray that you be counted worthy to escape the great tribulation judgments ===we born-again believers are not appointed to God's wrath!===but you are free to ask God to be left behind on rapture day!!!

The verse in Revelation 3:10 says those who have stood firm in their faith, will be kept from the ordeal that will come upon the whole world to test its inhabitants.
So firstly, we must stand strong in our faith, during the great trial and test of everyones faith, by fire as 1 Peter 4:12 and dozens of other prophesies tell us. That will be the next prophesied event; the Sixth Seal.
Then, when the Great Tribulation comes while the Anti-Christ has world control for the last 3 1/2 years of this era, we see how the Lord will take His faithful people to a place of safety on earth. Revelation 12:14

Believing the Church will be 'raptured' to heaven, is to believe a lie, as that idea is never stated in the Bible.

Born-again believers will know by the signs Jesus gave us when He is at the door!!

1Thessalonians 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

1Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

1Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

1Thessalonians 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

1Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

1Thessalonians 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

1Thessalonians 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

1Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

1Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Again I ask,how can there be signs when according to you all(rapturist)it can happen at any time?

You right about the signs as Christ told us everything that will and must happen before His return ,so how are you raptured before what He said comes to pass??????????

Christ doesn't return with those who are so called raptured,He returns with those who have died in Him.Those alive at that return are changed to like those coming with Him

If this were true, then the Marriage of the Lamb could not take place when it does, followed by ALL the saints coming to earth with Christ: ...and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. (Zech 14:5)

Kindly study Revelation 19 and all related passages.

Actually, the only way to make sense of scripture and have everything harmonise is for Jesus to come to the earth twice. First, to take His church home to the Father. This takes place at the event we call the second coming. Call it a rapture of you like... The resurrection takes place at the same time. Both those who are alive at His coming, and all the deceased of all ages, rise together to meet Him in the air... So then, and only then, shall we be united with and in Him, forever.
Then at the end of the millennium, the second resurrection... The resurrection of the wicked. At that time the new Jerusalem , our home for the previous 1000 years along with the angels, Jesus, and the Father, descends from heaven with all the Saints and the earth them made new... After the destruction of the wicked and the cleansing of the earth by fire... Shall become the inheritance of the meek. So simple really.
The planet has had its 7th millennial Sabbath rest. What we refused to give it, God fulfils His purpose and His righteousness. I know. Amils cannot accept that scenario because they cannot reconcile it with the concept of the return of the city at the second coming.... Which doesn't happen at that time.
