What is the difference between a rapture and a resurrection?

Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 1. To...

I would never put faith in any man. The scriptures are trustworthy in spite of man trying to distort them. If you search the scriptures diligently God will honor your effort. The Holy Spirit will guide you.

Disagree with your premise that God can sin. Have you not considered that God has ownership of everything? God is the potter who has made everything. There is nothing, or no one who is over God. Does God have a right to destroy that which is corrupt? That which he made? There is corruption...

Taken from ---------Life and Letters of J.A.F. Hort volume I page 78. Letter addressed to Mr. John Ellerton dated July 6, 1848. "I am inclined to think that no such state as Eden ever existed, and that Adam's fall in no degree differed from the fall of each of his descendants," (J.A.F. Hort)...

Are the days of creation a 24 hour period, or is it symbolic? Did woman came from a rib of Adam? Was the seventy weeks of Daniel 490 consecutive years? You can go on and on. Many passages are said to be symbolic rather than literal. It is my position that it is a lack of faith. I am not saying...

Yes, there is symbolism in the bible. A prime example is Jesus representing a lamb. But isn’t the symbolism always identified as symbolism by the bible? Many of our translators of today’s English translations proclaimed the story of creation as fairy tales. In Daniel the seventieth week...

Is that the rapture?

Doesn't the wedding take place in Heaven? Where is the bride coming from? We see the destruction of all on earth. Are not the saints raptured up first?

I see a parallel of ages. It was Jesus who spoke to the Jews of the harvest of the wheat and tares. And yes, I see that occurring in Revelation chapter fourteen during the age of the law, but I also see it occurring in the age, or time of the Gentiles, as it occurs in Revelation nineteen. There...

What do you understand to be occurring in Revelation chapter nineteen? Is this the harvest of the wheat and tares?

Your first statement is that it was impossible for there not to be nations existing during the millennium, because John said Satan was to be locked up for a thousand years so that he didn't deceive the nations. Your premise is that Satan couldn't deceive the nations unless they are alive on...

You say Nations exist during the millennium. Can you be specific in the way you deduce this premise. I am a little slow and cannot hold much more than a single thought at a time.

Then the question arises, why did Jesus preach to the dead?

The problem occurs when we can't agree on what the text is saying. If we can use the single shot method, rather than a scatter gun approach, then I am all for discussing it. People have a tendency to hold a certain narrative, and when someone encroaches on that narrative they usually get angry...

We will have to agree to disagree.

Not sure what you mean by a millennium of resurrected dead people. Revelation 20:5 indicates that the second resurrection occurs after the millennium, and it calls them the dead. Did they have a chance to reject Christ if they died before Christ was manifested. 1Pe 4:6 For for this cause was...

I am a little confused. Is there two resurrections and one rapture?

Did that include everyone from Adam on?

Can you explain who the resurrected dead are who live on earth with Gog and Magog? Revelation 20:5 I was always taught never to say never.
