Why do all the people that believe in the rapture quote scriptures?
I have study all the scriptures that are supposed to tell about the rapture. In addition, I find that if you read with your heart and not with your mind you will find that all the verses state one thing “Jesus is coming back” Not tacking us off. I just wonder, are all the faithful being told these lies have they tacking the time to read or they just listing to someone who at the end of service they tell them if you do not believe me go look it up for your self and check me out. Will I hate to be the one to tell you, you have already been seduced to think what he/she thanks? AS for the religious believer’s you are all handcuff to a doctrine of rules, not faith. The true faith is Christ and being Christ like. And what scares me is I find fought in most religion believe, you are run by rules other then what the bible { God’s on word } states, most change the word to better suit them. That is why most people never set foot in a church. Jesus said I am truth and the way and no one goes to the father except by me….! He did not say you have to be prefect first. Today so many churches look at what clothes you have on, the car you drive, the amount of money you give, and the house you live in. Jesus said bring me your poor, rich, and your sick and I shell heal them all, not just the upper class. So tell me are you Christ like or just religious role-playing. Back up with hard facts not just the same name game the bible says, my pastor said or that Is what I believe. I am a Holy Ghost filled Baptist. I believe in Jesus the resin son of God.
Update:Jesus does not use the words rapture but you all believe in the rapture He simply says he is coming back and we will meet him in the clouds. Where is the clouds setting in the holiest of holy’s and know where is that located? New Jerusalem, fallow the word of our father and you will find truth, not a made up story to make you set and wait and wait. Most religious people do just that where is the witnessing. (Holy GHOST FILLED CHRISTON.)

With God in your heart, and Jesus at the center of your life, you have absolutely nothing to fear.
The world will indeed end, we know not when, and the saved will be separated from the damned. Justice will triumph, but it will be God’s justice tempered by God’s mercy, not our idea of justice conditioned by our resentments and anger. And as we wait for the end times, let’s not look at the sins of others, but at our own failings, and pray that when we are judged, we will find in Jesus the tenderness He showed the woman taken in adultery, for all of us are at times unfaithful. And let us hope that our names are written in the Book of Life and that on the last day, when we are gathered together by Our Lord, He will wipe away all our tears.
So let us join St. John in saying
“Come, Lord Jesus, come.”
In your own good time.
I would like to point out that the reason we have built temples is to help finish the work that needs to be done or else the earth will be "wasted." Whether that is a conditional or exact phrase is sort of open to interpretation, but I don't think there is a need to cleanse the entire earth where the temples and other righteous people have already lived. There are, however, other places on the earth that would need to be cleansed. Think, for example, of some of the concentration camps and prisons where truly unspeakable things have happened. I do not see the resurrected Jewish people being particularly interested in coming back to live anywhere near where those places are, unless they are completely eradicated and replaced with something entirely different. Or a more moden fictional example, in the movie "Forrest Gump" you might recall the scene where Forrest has the rickety old house where poor Jenny was abused as a child completely razed and removed. As I understand it, the "Rapture" as a doctrine was developed in the 19th Century, and because it was mysterious and amazing at the same time, people got really caught up in it and combined it with a lot of other predictions about when the world was going to end. It is my opinion that we will actually continue to live life much as it is for a long time, with the resurrection taking place first at the beginning of the millennium, and those who have not yet died continuing to live to about 70-72 and then being "twinkled" - which is just a way of saying an instantaneous change in our bodies rather than going through physical death. It is the "meek" that will inherit the earth, not the wicked, so it might be more correct to say the wicked will be moved someplace else. I think the rapture as a whole is more tied into the First and Second resurrection, where as other answerers have said, the sheep will be separated from the goats. Or look at it this way, you can still live in your house while it is being remodeled, so you wouldn't have to go to an entirely different country. Hope this opinion helps, based on years of Sunday school lessons and common sense.
because jesus taught it was true and so do the scriptures
1 thessalonians 4:14-17
yes Jesus comes down then the dead bodies in christ arise from the grave into the air to go to the lord. Then we which are alive rise into the air because are bodies are changed, We go up to the lord. He does not come all the way down to the earth to raise us.
Mat 24:27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:28 For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
a lightening flash so shall the coming of the son of man be. where ever the carcass is there the eagles will be gathered. The carcass is the food the eagles are what feeds off the food. The carcass is Jesus and the eagles are christians.
Jesus him self said in matthew 24:39-42
two are in the field and one is taken and one is left. Two are in the mill one is taken and one is left.
Jesus warns to watch and be ready
If there is no rapture there will be nothing to be ready for and to watch for.
But jesus told his followers to watch and be ready.
The signs are all around us today that the coming of our lord Jesus Christ is soon at hand. People do not under stand nor will they. I tell you the truth and when the time comes you will know what you have read here was the truth. The earth is slowing shifting, that is causing this so call global warming. The earth will continue until it does a full shift. Were there shell be a new north pole and south pole. Our world will change as we know it to day for you will witness it unless you live in a danger zone. Remember it will cause the oceans to cover land that has never been covered up yet new ocean bed some cities will be under water. Which country will be in the deep freeze meaning the new north pole or south pole. Ye need not take my word you will see like ever one else. There is much suffering that is coming upon this earth for ever man women and child.. Set your mind to ever thing that will follow this rotation of the earth, and you will know what is to come . Starvation, earth quakes, wars thru out the world, diseases, total collapse of the economy, world in great depression. Death in the billions to ever man women and child. For the lord say that at his coming that he will cleans the earth of its wickedness and that only one quarter of the worlds population will be left when he comes and that is in less then 27 years, There is well over 6 billion people upon this earth will you be part of this quarter of population that will survive to what is coming. For my self I will be here at the second coming of our lord Jesus Christ. For there shell be many that will be with me .Sorry, but its the truth I lie not.. For this must take place for the lord lies not, for what the lord say must come to pass. Many shell parish for they heed not the word of the lord for they prepare not them selves. Thinking for them self that they know better and this becomes there down fall and parish. Amen.
i agree with you, Most people try to read the Bible with human logic
You talk about 'religion'? Then you say you are a "Holy Spirit-Filled" ,baptist'?? (What happened to a Holy Spirit-Filled Christian??)
The difference between their cult and mine is that they think they have the absolute truth, when I know that I do.
Because they assume we actually read it.
Can I smoke Jesus then?

True enough. Thanks for sharing.
