I would appreciate an honest response next time to my post and actually dealing with what I said rather than pretending I said something I did not

OK I have a lot of catching up to do, but I shall strive to advance a little.
First, there was no intention of calling anyone a liar or that someone was dishonest. I am quite sure you are honest and explain the truth (As you see it)
What I am simply saying is that your understanding is mistaken.
You are interpreting the scriptures quite honestly, but still wrong.
So let us lay aside the issue of lying or dishonesty for your honesty or truthfulness is not in question here, what is in question is your interpretation.
The main problem I see with the term "Rapture" is that the Bible quite often speaks the word "Coming" so I see no need to create a new word when the Bible has already provided one that is quite clear.
The second problem I see with the term "Rapture" is that it denotates a secret rapture, when I believe the second coming will be quite public where every eye shall see him.
The third problem I see with the term "Rapture" is that it teaches a two-stage coming, where Jesus comes for his church and then later on returns with his church. I simply see no reason at all for a 2 stage coming.
So no I do not call you a liar or dishonest, I simply call you mistaken in your understanding of Jesus second coming.
