Subject: Is the rapture biblically supported? |
Bible Note: Tim, Thanks for the reply. I've been talking with a brother I respect who has said he believes the teaching of the concept of a "rapture" is heresy. The scripture you quoted is very familiar to me, and I've always believed it was very pointed in spelling out the principle of a time of rapture. I'm still studying. So, I knock, I seek, I ask. I'll get it, I'm confident. It's good to come together in Him. Thank you once more. Yours in Christ, Steve Wilhoff |
