We leave some things for individuals to decide for themselves. This is one, though I know which way our pastor leans. He doesn't push such things on anyone. I agree with his belief, however.

I attended a Bible study at a local Baptist church last week and the rapture kept coming up and the study had nothing to do with the rapture. It was inserted into every passage we read. Weird.

Good people though.

I just thought I'd ask.

Yours in the Lord,

The rapture is a theological construct and deception fed to the people by the Dispensational heresy. It give a false hope and looks for something other than Christ Jesus.
Thanks for your opinion, but I personally strongly disagree.

I expected some would. Many are caught up in the man made theological heresy.
Nothing man made regarding the rapture.
100% Scriptural.

100% Scriptural.

Twin is speaking to the Dispensational interpretation of scripture as being a man made system. He's not claiming the Bible is man made.

Do you realize your interpretation of scriptures is not inspired or divine?

I knew what he was referring to.
Do you realize that your opinion is not inspired or divine?
And, just how familiar are you with my understanding of the scriptures to make such a comment?

Oh dear, it seemed like you needed help. I apologize.

That’s right. We are on a level playing field as sinful people when it comes to understanding scripture.

And, just how familiar are you with my understanding of the scriptures to make such a comment?

What comment? This one, “Do you realize your interpretation of scriptures is not inspired or divine?”

You agreed with that comment, or at least seemed to when you wrote, “Do you realize that your opinion is not inspired or divine?”

I do not need to know “how familiar” you with scripture to recognize Dispensationalism and the Rapture as a late invention.

And, just how familiar are you with my understanding of the scriptures AS WELL AS church history to make such a comment as, my opinion is “100% Scriptural?”

Yours in the Lord,

jm

I've attended Baptist and Pentecostal churches and read the Statement of Faith for many, churches and organizations. Never have I seen the Rapture or any part of Eschatology being part of their Statement of Faith.

I never stated my opinion was 100% scriptural and you know that.
The 100% scriptural comment was regarding the rapture 1st Thessalonians 4:17, not my opinion .
Remember Paul talk of this event as a mystery.

I am sorry but you are incorrect. Paul’s use of the word mystery is in the context of the Gentiles being grafted in. He speaks of the making of two into one man by faith. It was a mystery which was not revealed until the preaching of the Gospel to both Jew and Gentile.

As to 1Thess. 4:17 Paul isn’t talking about a supposed “rapture” but about the one time second coming of Christ. The Scriptures nowhere teach a “rapture”.

You are entitled to your opinion, but I completely disagree. Paul was not talking about the Second Coming of Christ (where He Christ actually steps on earth) unlike the rapture where the dead in Christ since Pentacost and present believers meet the Lord in the air.
Rapture and the Second Coming are two distinctive events.
One before the 7 year tribulation and the other after the 7 year tribulation .
The mystery that Paul speaks of is clearly the rapture NOT the Second Coming.

Please, what mystery verse/s are you referring to. Thanks

I agree with you but I don't think that is the mystery verse/s that @twin1954 is referring to.
