At our low state of consciousness, it is so human nature to take the easiest and most convenient "solution" out of the mess we created. Have someone die to shoulder the consequences of our sins, have someone's blood cleanse us of sin, get a free pass to eternal afterlife simply by believing, pray to a deity for this and that to have a perfect life, worship a deity to show devotion and expect personal rewards and benefits in return, by a simple formality of bathing in "holy water" done by a certified holy representative one becomes "reborn" and closer to God, and by belonging to a human club the members will become the "chosen ones" to be saved when the caring and benevolent God somehow does a 180 and turn vengeful and punishes, Much harder to choose to learn to grow up to greater wisdom and maturity by taking full responsibility for our mistakes, accepting the consequences, forgiving ourselves for not knowing any better at that moment, learning from our mistakes, and improving ourselves by not repeating the same mistakes. We have been blessed with free will to freely choose. What then will we choose and how will we conduct ourselves. Rarely is the better choice the easy choice. |

To help others and lead them to Jesus. That is the game plan. The rapture is not until the Day of the Lord, the 8th year after the 7 year tribulation period. I was raised to believe the pre-trib rapture and "everyone" said it was correct and then God showed me that it is wrong. And I realized my desire for the pre-trib rapture was a mask for selfishnes - I wanted my ticket out of this regardless of what happens to other people. I repented of that and God has been asking of I love other people and see them as He sees them, worthy of sacrificing what is left of my love to save them. And I've come around now and have a good idea that I do not get to live out my lifelong dream of dying of natural causes. But it's all worth it if I can be used by God to save others. |

Perhaps you're destined to be one of the foolish virgins. I believe the rapture is scriptural, if one has the Spirits lamp and oil to illuminate the scriptures. |

If you are be resurrected to eternal life your soul comes under the care and protection of angels until there is a general resurrection which are about every 1000 years on this world. Meat does not go to "heaven".. when your SOUL is resurrected you get a new form.... one that doesn't need toilets. Rapture.. the being caught in the air.. is the fusion of your soul with your Father Fragment.... and it destroys the meat and you still get a new form . You cannot fuse with your Father Spirit... until you have reached a certain level of consciousness. Which is usually advanced 6d spiritual level god consciousness. and as to rapture it is available to ALL on this planet at that level... has nothing to do with any religion. This is FACT. The "rapture "/Fusion is individual and not as a whole group of people.. many of whom are certainly not at the spiritual level for any such thing to happen. If your suit of meat dies.. before you are 6d+ your spirit is stored.. as above until a general resurrection. If you are at 5d consciousness... you are raised in 3 days or so...but your suit of meat goes into the ground.

Question to pre-tribbers: So if death is done away with and there are people who love jesus are resurrectd at the beginning of the tribulation, then those that died during the tribulation period. 1 Cor 15:26 - Resurrections are: 1. Jesus the first-fruits 2. Then those who are Jesus' at His coming (Greek work: parousia - means bodily arrival physically) So while the pre-tribbers say that the rapture is not Jesus second coming, the above verse says that there are only 2 resurrections and the second one happens when he physically arrives. So....there is a direct conflict there. |
