Originally posted by uzlessthat is unbelievably bad theology, the "rapture doctrine' didn't even exist until around 1830. It is not recognized by ANY mainline denomonation. The text you use are taken completely out of context.
Uh, it's called The Rapture. I'm not a believer of this stuff myself but you want to know why the US is involved in this, you better find out what The Rapture is.
Here's a clue.
[b]The Rapture - What is it? When will it happen? Where is it in the Bible?
Learn the truth about this biblical event that often leads to arguments, especially when folks say ...[text shortened]... this stuff seriously. Bush is a born again christian fyi.

Originally posted by duecerTrue, there is no word Rapture in the Bible. However, neither is there any names of angels save two which are Gabriel and Michael. You could then say that there are only two existing angels using this logic. Really I am not 100% convinced on the theology and neither does it bother me. All that matters is the resurrection, everything else is just sugar coating.
For you KellyJay, as you will undoubtedly take offense😛

The ressurection isn't what counts, salvation is what counts.
