It is the same arguments over and over.
If there is no rapture, tell me what Paul is referring to when he teaches we will he caught up to meet Jesus . Translate that word from greek, rapturo. Rapture is in the Bible. Definitely.
It can't be at the same time as the second coming. If it is, who populates the Millennium while Christ reigns?
If it is a terrible scary dangerous doctrine, why did early church fathers teach it as Paul taught it?
And why does the Bible say that the Church is not meant for God's wrath? That we will be kept from it?
None of these questions are addressed. People just keep repeating the doctrine they learned from a denomination over and over. I have no denomination. I follow the Bible, literally, dividing it properly as Paul taught.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80601833 I will address every question mate. No one is dodging them. Take a breath.
A. When Christ returns we are caught up to meet Him. He never even touches the ground. (but then how does he reign for 1000 years?)
B. The millennial reign is
not on earth. It is satan who is "bound" here for 1000 years. In chains of circumstance. All the wicked are dead and Christ church is with Him being presented to His Father. Satan has no oone to deceive and is stuck on a dead rock for 1000 years.
C. Paul did not teach a secret rapture. He taught when Christ returns we will be caught up.
D. The "wrath" of God is the final 7 plagues. They will not harm Christs church. We will see them, hear of them, watch how they unfold, but they are not for us. We will be observers.
You will no doubt rage when you hear about the 1000 years being in heaven as it goes against everything the wolves in sheeps clothing have taught you, but it is 100% biblical. And logical seeing at Christs return every city falls and every mountain crumbles. The world is in utter ruin. Not a nice place to be.
Here is a write up some guy did on it, and it is spot on if you wish to learn the truth of it.

* i dont endorse everything he has on that site as sound, but the 1000 year thing is right on. Give it an honest read and see.
