Me: Really (response to your denial of a "rapture")? My Bible tells me different:

1Thes.4:17 [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Rapture is another word for "caught up". If you still disagree, could you explain what your reasons are with Biblical verses or passages? Couldn't tell you when this will happen, but it will!

You: Sure we all we be changed, but there is not going to be a case where some of us are changed and some are not.

Could you please site the passage or verse that confirms that ALL will be raptured. My Bible tells me otherwise. I'm most anxious to see where you see something different in the Bible. When you respond with the verse or passage indicating otherwise then I will post the verses and passages where it is indicated than only SOME will be raptured.

But not in the sense that the rapturists put forth, that some will be changed and the others will be left behind wondering what happened. In the clouds means in the spirit. When we are changed, we'll still be on the earth, but in the spirit.

The very one you quoted. It says "we which are alive". Everyone living is alive, good and bad.

My Bible tells me otherwise.

Where does the bible say some will be changed and some won't?

The one you quoted. Show me where only some are changed.
