Is there going to be a rapture????

[shazeep]

amen to that. ok, and with that said, i'll say that i am confident that there will not be at least the type of rapture that the est'd church promulgates--a bunch of people who have accepted Christ with their mouths, now waiting to die and go to heaven when Christ comes "in the air" to save them from themselves. Not gonna happen. Now, when you begin discussing a 'prepared bride' who has stood up to the forces of evil ("Armageddon"), and is being martyred to annihilation for this, when Christ then steps in--ok. possibly. if our translation (of a translation) of Scripture is being conveyed correctly. But it is just as likely that a spiritual thing is happening here, @ "rapture," and that our common understanding is completely naive--which i find more likely.
