So wht do you believe. Do you think there is a rapture, or do you think we christian will have to endure until he Jesus comes to rain? I'm not really sure, I was reading revelations the other day and I attend two different churches, and they have different views. I don't see where it says there is a rapture. But I still hope there might be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, do I believe in the rapture, yes I do. And when He toots, I'm going to scoot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope that there is one and ask the Holy Spirit to keep me ready to go, but alas I also have made myself ready to stay. That seems to be the harder part..... to spiritually build up the strength to struggle through. The struggle through seems to be what scripture tells me that I will have to do. Whatever, I don't think it will be long before we know for sure. se Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first met my wife, I was raptured away in love........so yes I believe. As far as the trib.........better plan on goin through I agree as well! Let me explain: When I was married- I went through the terrible and dreadful tribulation. But when I divorced- I felt raptured away from all that misery. So yes- we will have to endure the tribulation- but not forever. Edited August 15, 2005 by Sirsilius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
