Bible Question: Do you believe that when the rapture takes place, our bodies will disappear (as depicted in the "Left Behind" series and similar books and movies) or could it be just our souls leave our bodies? |
Bible Answer: Unfortunately, so much of the church has adopted fiction and "that's what I have always heard" as being scripturally sound doctrine, that the latest, "Left Behind" series was easy to sell. While it is the most sensationalized piece of fiction to date, it is just that. There is nothing scriptural about it. JESUS said that He would return for His own AFTER the tribulation(Matt. 24:29), and "AT THE LAST DAY"(John 6:39). He also said that the resurrection which takes place at His coming is the FIRST resurrection (Rev.20:5,6) I would rather just take HIS word for it. |
