Maybe I don't understand the thought behind the comment. Care to explain?
I don't see any scriptures that teach a Rapture...

Really? You don't? Are you serious?

How about one that teaches "caught up to meet Him in the air?" How about one that teaches something about, "Our gathering together unto Him?" How about the many other scriptures that speak of such things?

2 Cor 12:2
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth such an one caught up to the third heaven.
KJV

2 Cor 12:4
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
KJV

Was this what happened to this man? Was he Raptured when he was caught up?

Re: How Many Are Excited About the Rapture?

Well, I'm ready for the rapture.......of that I have no doubt!!! Many others are not ready. I'm not near as excited about the Rapture as I am about the opportunities which are before us in these times as far as reaching people is concerned. That doesn't mean that the Rapture is a non-event for me, it just means that I'll be busy when it happens!

Re: How Many Are Excited About the Rapture?

I am doing my est to reach all I can...however I believe tribulation before rapture...but not enough to discuss it...countless hours are wasted by people that want their opinion accepted...
If rapture comes first I feel I am ready for that too....however as a whole the church majors in minors and minors in majors...doing a lot of STUFF he never told us to do...some of it good but the needy thing we sometimes push on the back burner....

(just my opinion)

I could probably think of 88 reasons not to believe in a rapture!

Re: How Many Are Excited About the Rapture?

All I know is that it will happen any night -soon! This is why we stopped planning for our retirement. In fact, if you have any kids the odds of them graduating high school before it happens are practically nil! So just pull them out now and prepare yourself in your backyard! And whatever you do, do NOT take your eyes off of your husband/wife/parents! For if you do, BLAM, you will be left behind!
