That first paragraph you wrote, every bit of it is a lie.( except the part where you say you have no verses).The "rapture" is at the resurrection and before the bowls of wrath are poured out. There is no scriptural basis for a sneaky pre-trib rapture. It was invented in the 1800s to make the heresy of dispensationaism work (also invented in the 1800s). I normally don't get involved in discussions on the rapture other than to make a comment now and then, so i really don't have a goto list of scripture that you're looking for.
However, if you have questions about it I'm sure things will come to my mind that I can help you with. One thing you need to ask yourself is why would God remove his people from the earth before his glorious and loud return that every eye will see when he prayed for the father not to do so.
I ask not that you take them out of the world, but that you guard them from the evil. John 17:15
That 1800's baloney was debunked years ago.
You really want to believe the church fathers as the BASIS for your belief,...instead of scripture????
Irenaeus wrote a book EXPOSING THEIR NUMEROUS ERRORS.
You are telling us YOUR BASIS is MAN????
AHEM.... Men that had limited revelation and were RIFE WITH ERROR.?????
YES, you are actually doing that..
In another post, you say the word "rapture" is poison.
In the above post you ACTUALLY USE THAT VERY WORD TO DESCRIBE 1 THES 4 "CAUGHT UP/ HARPOZO".....as if it is perfectly fine in a discussion.
