Why would it piss folks and what does killing kids and destroying cities have to do with the rapture? BTW, the actually word rapture is not found in the Bible. It is a belief or doctrine and there are multiple and viewpoints. I really don’t see a view important as long as the endgame faith is in place.

Well I am not “bitching” now. Just asked a simple question and made a statement. Truth is I don’t like football articles this time year. Of the mindset that no news is good news. Also in a state of frustration and border line depression about our baseball team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is to embrace the depression. let it devour you from the inside out so that the stings of disappointment barely register as a tap of a feather upon the skin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of A Tiger 576 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 As has been pointed out, the word Rapture is not in the Bible. It is derived from a Greek word and the basis is found in 1Thessolonians 4:13-17 What Is the Rapture? See What the Bible Says. (billygraham.org) You can find more by simply doing a Google search on the word Rapture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnatl1 5,253 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 The concept of the rapture, as evangelicals define it today. is relatively new (just before the civil war) and pretty much unique to the US. If interested. you can read on John Darby who developed the interpretation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second coming has never been in question. The “rapture” is a bit fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting and usually a part the more lengthy discussions here. Pointing out perceived hypocrisy in claimed spiritual beliefs makes for an easy target. We have a few posters that take advantage of the opportunities. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
