Christians made that up because they can't accept that their bible talks about babies being born inherently evil. Most just accept what they are told and never look it up for themselves. I was unaware rapture wasn't mentioned in the bible, thanks for sharing. |

You and those agreeing with you are obviously ignorant fools. People like you who write this drivel will find out on the other side where the verse from Hosea 4:6 will reverberate in your head for all of eternity between your screams and gnashing of teeth. Every misinterpretation you willfully relied on will haunt you forever. |

It translates into snatched away, pulled away forcefully. Also, the falling away it talks about in Thessalonians translated from the Greek text means to be removed, and that is before the man of lawlessness can be revealed. Paul taught a pre Trib Rapture, the Catholic Church spiritualized the entire Bible and then suppressed it from the public for centuries. |

(1 Thessalonians 4:17) "...in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:52) You are correct that the Bible does not use the terminology, but passages like these are where we get the idea that this will happen and we just use the phrase to indicate the prescribed action, which came from the Latin word raptus ("a carrying off"). I don't profess that I know exactly what will happen or when and I don't sit around thinking about it all the time. However, I do have faith that there is something to it and I look forward to it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 58700537 United States 08/08/2014 09:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Septuagint (earliest known version of scriptures) does use the greek word for Rapture. The word was chanced when the King James translation was done. But even the KJV makes it quite clear that some will “be counted worthy to escape the coming wrath of GOD the Creator as it is poured out upon the earth in the last days…” The scriptures also tell us that those will be caught up into the Air With Jesus and their bodies will be changed in the twinkling of an eye from our mortal body of flesh to something new and very different. Most biblical scholars think the new bodies will be like the body Jesus had after he arose from the Grave and conquered death once and for all. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58685678 It's all in how you choose to interpret it OP. No, actually He did. We also get it from other passages that lead to the same conclusion. 7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip?
