where in scripture is this "rapture"?
several decades of study. never seen it.
I stand corrected. I just checked what you posted. King James Version? This pretty much explains.If you are referring to the word rapture you are correct. The word never appears in scripture. It comes from a passage in Matthew 24
Matthew 24:40 Context
37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
This indicates that the second coming of Christ will be accompanied with a disappearance of individuals. It has become known as the rapture.
It's the same as the trinity of the Godhead. The word trinity does not appear in scripture (unless referring to a 5.8L DOHC) yet it's teaching is from beginning to end.
If the rapture was real, it would've happened in 1945 when the first bomb dropped.
Human kind has progressively managed to develop both the tools to destroy and save itself time after time. We always manage to exist and come out on the other end.
I am a humanist. No disrespect to those believing differently, but I am concerned by those willing to believe in rapture as an excuse to stand around in lieu of preventing human kinds destruction.
I don't think God is done with us yet and we still have more good times to come. If you listen to the prophets they have been saying for years that Trump will be a 2 term president, and a few said to keep watching because God is going to move and expose the corrupt underbelly of the political world. So I'm interested in seeing how this all plays out and just believing that we are moving according to God's plan, but I think there is much more to come, but I also wouldn't argue that we are on track to go through the end time prophecy. The big one shaping up is the Middle East peace that Trump has been brokering.

Except nobody lives like that. The hardest part of being a Christian, and the Bible speaks of this, is resisting the temptations of the flesh and resisting the temptations of giving into a worldly lifestyle. Every Christian struggles with this and it means we constantly struggle with giving into the world's demands and trends and going with the flow vs living an entirely Godly lifestyle devoting your time solely to God. We have to balance that, and if you haven't noticed Christians have built much of Western society and largely advanced us to where we are today. So Christians are very much in tune with building a better world and are not relegated to sitting back and excusing the burning of the world because we believe it is a foretold conclusion.
This right here is the truth. I get tempted everyday my neighbor takes his Panigale V4 Corse out. Temptation says “take it”, but God said thou shalt not steal, so I let him keep it another day
Regardless of what you believe you should take that Ducati!
I believe my plan is to have a 2021 GT500, but I’ll settle for a 2020.God has a plan for everyone. I believe my plan involves some Ducati V4 time.
T$ is what happens when you can’t lose and dont give a ****. He is what we all want to be and can sell snow to an eskimo.

I also don’t want to be here for that anti-christ shit show that’s coming as described in Revelations.everyone is tested by temptation differently. Some by guns, some by cars and some by women. It takes your willpower to not fall into this temptation and walk away as intended.
I dont think we are there yet, but man is on his way to total annihilation if we dont stop. I believe that yes in my lifetime that the Anti-Christ will make his appearance, but to set in motion what he is here for will be past my time.
might be a good time to...lolAre you guys saying I should cash in some of my 401K and get that 13' Grabber blue/black stripe GT500 I've been looking at?
