Subject: Rapture different from Second Coming? |
Bible Note: Hello Justme, Untill rescently, I had always beleived the preconceived idea that Christians went to hell immediatly after death and sinners to either a waiting place or the lake of fire. When I was challenged with the question of the rapture and life after death, from many of my non-Christian friends at work I decided to prove my points to them with actual scripture to back it up. What I found was that I was totaly wrong about the whole thing. Now I dont beleive in a secret rapture or disembodied spirits of Christians or sinners. Everything must be clothed and tangable in heaven. Not Spirits floating around awating there reward which is coming with Christ. So it sounds like me and you are on the same page. MaTT MaTT |
