The Rapture
By The Butcher Shop, a (TLB) Contributor
From the Mind of a Dumb ole Biker from Alvin, Texas
Okay, I’m going to upset a whole lot of you today.
When I read Matthews 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21, then read 2nd Thessalonians, I realized, the Rapture theory was not Biblical. When you read, Those who endure until the end, shall be saved, you realize, Til the end doesn’t mean your gonna fly out of here, When you realize the first white horse in the book of Revelations is the Anti Christ, you see things differently, when the scripture tells us, All these things must happen before Christ returns, Key word BEFORE, means we shall see these things happen. When it tells us, The Anti Christ must be fully exposed for who and what he is before Christ returns, you start to see the Rapture Theory for what it is. The Easy Way out Doctrine. The easy way out is not Biblical. But most pastors teach it. Christ doesn’t return before the sound of the Seventh Trump, not before.
You see, People need to ask themselves, If we are to be raptured out of here before all these bad things happen, What about the people who have been murdered and beheaded in all these other countries, just because they believed Jesus Christ was our savior? What about the people dying today in all parts of the world for their beliefs? These people actually had to live and die by their faith. Are we any better than them? They weren’t raptured and they died in the manner in which scripture said they would die. They died for their faith. We too will be tested.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

The scriptures prove there is no rapture:
2 Corinthians 13:1; “This is the third time I am coming to you. IN THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES SHALL EVERY WORD BE ESTABLISHED (Deuteronomy 19:15).”
Let’s find those witnesses that prove there is no rapture:
1 Corinthians 15:52; “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (Matthew 24:31).”
1 Thessalonians 4:16; “For the Lord himself shall decend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”
Revelation 11:15; “And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, AND HIS CHRIST: AND HE SHALL REIGN FOR EVER AND EVER.”
WHO ARE THE WITNESSES? IT IS THE “TRUMP AND THE “LAST TRUMP.” This tells us that there is NO rapture before Christ return. The rapture is a man made doctrine that came into existence a hundred years ago.
When people try to prove this doctrine one can see that they clearly do not know the scripture.
Sir-it’s good you read the Bible, but you should read a King James-not a ‘new’ or anything else King James and if you did-read it again. Your major mistake is that Jesus DOES NOT RETURN TO THE EARTH FOR THE RAPTURE! He snatches us up-we don’t fly away. Read it again-cover to cover and at a pace that fits you. It’s not a speed reading contest remember. In your ‘interpretation’ Jesus lets His bride-the Church-get beat half to death-many completely-the last 7 years-and then welcomes everyone to Heaven. Read it again-with no pre-set thought about what it should say. Just some good advice. If a person spreads God’s Word incorrectly-it’s not good for that person. I’ve read it 5 times-different ‘versions’-and the King James is the best. Jesus spreads hope not despair and hopelessness.
