When does the rapture take place?

Actually, on a gun forum it's really about guns and gun rights. You might be thinking of a sewing circle.

Getting the timing of the rapure correct has a gun angle and a prep angle. We as Christians will be going through the tribulation and it calls us to be ready. That means materially, spiritually, physically and mentally.

Actually this is the faith section, so it doesn't have to have anything to do with firearms whatsoever just like the off topic section. I'm sure you could purpose a sewing section to the Mod's and see what happens but for here this is the "Faith topic" section.

From a gun angle and a prep angle, be as ready as you can be at all times . . . for anything.

When do you think the bible teaches the rapure takes place. Pre trib, Post trib etc? I would like to see what you think the bible teaches? What verses can you find that support your position?

Christ returns to earth and we are changed to spirit bodies and the millenium on earth takes place where Christ's followers teach His word for 1000 years. Then the final battle takes place and Satan and his followers are destroyed.

There is no rapture where the "really good people" get beamed up and everybody else gets left behind to suffer the final battle.

The scoffed reference bible seems to have made up a pre trib rapture out of thin air.

The "pre trib rapture" is a very attractive scam cooked up to sooth Christians into believing they won't go through the tribulation. The scam is that the really good people will all get scooped up to heaven before the trib and the lesser ones will get "left behind". Airplanes will fall from the skies if a pilot suddenly vanishes, people will simply POOF into thin air... it's ridiculous.

My particular religion does not believe in a "pret trib rapture", but believes in a post trib rapture.
They believe however that God is going to protect them through it all, and that they don't need to do anything to protect themselves or to prepare. God is going to do it all for them. Feed them mana from Heaven, and hide them.

I figure with our luck it will be soon after California goes "shall issue".

I guess no one told this to the modern day Christians that are being killed for the Gospels sake.

He meant that they will be protected during the Tribulation. Not now.

I wonder what scriptures they use to come up with this idea.

[RAMCLAP]

If I recall(and I probably don't) it has to do with the 144,000 in Rev7 and Rev14. However, I can't recall but I have heard more than one pastor state that the saints will be protected during the Great Trib. I'm not an adherent so I can't say which eschatological school it comes from.

Are you referring to how the Bible does not have the word rapture?

"In the Greek, the translated "caught up" is harpazo, meaning "to be snatched away with force ." In the Latin vulgate translation, the word is rapare or raptus, and from that word rapare we get our word "rapture." It is the same word, just different language translations" Taken from Chuck Smith's book
"The Rapture"

Everyone gets "raptured" after you die ("judgement day").

Jesus' "2nd coming" is seeing him when you die.

Very interesting take. Can you point me to some source material? I'd like to follow up a bit.
