| I think that we will fly away. We will be spared from the coming wrath (the tribulation). What do you think? |

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
I believe we will be raptured. |

1 Corinthians 15:52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
What ever we will do, it'll be fast! |

It sure is. I've been kinda sick of this world lately and look forward to my call home, whether it be rapture or death.

ok umm this is an intersting debate. I believe that we will fly away, but only after the tribulation.
1 Corinthians 15:52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
In this verse it talks about the last trumpet. What is the last trumpet? the seventh trumpet ing reveletion the signals the end of the world. I personally think its against the very principles of Christianity to think that we will not endure trials and tribulations. When it talks in revelations about the Chrisitans who are enduring the tribulation, do you really believe its just a bunch of baby new Christians? I really doubt it. I do beleive that in this period Christians will be especially protected by God, adn that we need not worry about it.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
again this talkes about those who are alive and remain meeting Jesus in the air, I see no mention of two meetings... |
