It has to do with pain n suffering and being jet packed out of the scene. Ain’t gonna happen.
It is because Christ died and rose that we will be able to endure the coming tribulations, not hide like a bunch of cowards in some rapturous heaven.

I think that is up to God, not what we think or interpret.
To me, anything is possible with God, but it is my prayer to serve Him to bring all home who are meant to be His children, that are written in the book of life, if that means stay and suffer, so be it, if that means be ratured as it would be my Father’s will, so be it..God’s will be done, not mine..

“It has to do with pain n suffering and being jet packed out of the scene. Ain’t gonna happen.”

The Bible says believers will be gathered. It doesn’t use the word rapture, it also doesn’t say that believers will all be forced to live through the tribulation.

“It is because Christ died and rose that we will be able to endure the coming tribulations, not hide like a bunch of cowards in some rapturous heaven.”

Christ died for one reason, so that we would not have to. Not so we could avoid tribulation but so we could go to heaven. Going to heaven is not cowardly. You’re making it some kind of ego based decision, its not.

Doesn’t matter one bit for salvation but is a convenient tool for the enemy to use to keep the body from working together to serve The Lords purposes. Put on the Armor of God, become the Army of God, stop arguing about irrelevant and keep working on pulling Logs put of your eyes and get to the Lords business of feeding his Sheep and spreading the Good News. Time is short. :-)
