Hello fellow Christians first and foremost I did not come here to divide the body of Christ. I came here to Unite. Hopefully the Holy Spirit will give me the words to say right now, for I have prayed. We can agree in the body of Christ, some believe in the rapture and some believe do not . Yes, one of us may be a fool because that’s what the Bible says foolish however, we both feel we have a job to do for a purpose and yours is to be raptured And The elect have a different job.
We are still the body of Christ I love each and everyone of you and I just love talking about God I do not want to divide. I do not want to cause trouble. If I feel I am I will step away.

Hi Stach. What are your thoughts on this verse...

1 Thessalonians 4:17
"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."


Is it the Rapture, or something else?

The body of Christ is hopelessly divided over this issue already. It's been debated into the ground and I seriously doubt you can say anything to make it worse. Maybe you'll share something that'll help someone; I hope so.

Of course that is my intentions. I stated that very clearly I want to put that issue beside but every time I tell people what I expect is going to happen next and use a Bible verse. They come back with raptor raptor raptor, and I just want to put that word aside for a while just talk the Bible. I think that alone would end that conversation if you look back, I never mentioned a word rapture I only get responses with the word rapture in it

As I said about the rapture, there are very very many interpretations, and if you wanna hear mine, I can give it to you. But that’s not what I came on this thread and channel to do I came to warn that the end times are coming and I can base it on Bible prophecy. If you want to be wrapped it away go ahead. I didn’t see you there wouldn’t be a rapture. I just said I’m not going. I’m staying here in Fais Deani ChristAs I said about the rapture, there are very very many interpretations, and if you wanna hear mine, I can give it to you.

That's... different. :unsure:
OK it looks like we have made some common ground. I’m not here to judge anybody. I’m just here to tell you where I think we are in prophecy. That’s the only reason I’m here that way maybe you might wanna make some personal adjustments to your family or thinking about buying a house in the future so to speak

We may disagree …. but never think you are the cause of division.

People (like myself) may have differing beliefs based on biblical records. But the object is to present your beliefs in the manner you deem fit according to the Word of God. If your assessment is proven right …great!…. if your assessment is proven wrong (biblically) that is also great!……Why? Because we all want to see how the Word of God fit’s together and be on the same page….and everyone one of us has the ability to make a new decision based on biblical evidence provided. ..... There is no pride in being right or shame in being wrong, because both pride and shame are the adversary’s tools of manipulation and are contrary to the love of God.

In the end ….this subject is nothing that we will change based on our beliefs, whether they conflict or not. …. Because what is going to happen is going to happen….. in the order that God determines it to happen when God determines it to happen ….. not us.

I can tell you that the pre-trib rapture team has won the debate/engagement.....

Every-Single-Time.
And there have been dozens and dozens of times.

It's not even close......:geek:

if youre saved, you have no choice BUT to be raptured. Youre not facing the antichrist whether you want to or not.

So what about those saints the anti-christ makes war on for 1260 days?

No you have not.
Some do know the truth.
If one is not in the first resurrection, they will suffer the second death/Hell.
The first resurrection includes those saints that refuse the mark of the beast during the reign of the anti-christ.

Luke 12:11-12

New King James Version



11 “Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
Would you kindly explain what the Bible is talking about here if it is not the elect

Thank you please explain his verse to me and I don’t know why you’re making this about rapture I don’t care. Have a nice trip I’m not going.

You speak very elegantly and I appreciate
Again, I don’t care about rapture.
Maybe people don’t care because they feel they’re not going to be here. What is going to happen to the rest of the people that are here
these people are all going to be lost, and you are going to leave them behind and fly away. No, I’m sorry I’m going to stay here and try to help save as many people as we can to the very very end So I said what I had to say what I really want to say is biblical times you just watch what’s going to happen next when Russia breaks out of Ukraine and takes on NATO and then you will see the deadly won’t until then you just think I’m hot water

I am of the mindset that it doesn’t matter what others think …it matters what the Word of God states….so stand your ground and present you case biblically.

Regardless of feedback, there are a number of people on this site who adhere to your position …and, there are some who don’t…..

Just something I will add ….if the gathering together unto Him (rapture) does happen first and you are born again (which I believe you are) …. The choice is not yours to stay or go ….you will be gone…..in the twinkling of an eye.

...we both feel we have a job to do for a purpose and yours is to be raptured And The elect have a different job.
Since the raptured are in fact the elect, what exactly is your point?
