What do you mean by rapture? I am not too religious more spiritual. Rapture = religous stuff or rapture=passion for life?

(sorry if this sounds stupid but...)

The Rapture is an end time event in the Christian calendar. It is when Christ comes and removes all of his people before things get really awful (unbearably so) in the world, 7 years before Armegeddon, the destruction of the world as is, and the creation of the world of Christ's reign.

Do I believe in it, short answer ... yes. There are allot of interpretations of it I don't necessarily agree with

WELL SAID LOSTACRE, I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE DESCRIBED IT BETTER MYSELF. NOT THAT I AM ANYONE, BUT IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SUBJECTS TO STUDY.

I AM NOT A BIG FAN OF RELIGION EITHER, BUT I DEFINE RELIGION AS A LIST OF RULES AND REGULATION AND WORKS THAT MUST BE STRICTLY OBEYED IN ORDER TO GET TO THE PROMISE LAND.
IT IS A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENT WHEN IT IS A SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP.

GzusThug - if you enjoy reading there is a series of books called the LEFT BEHIND books. I enjoyed reading all of them. They are fictional but seem almost real as they relate a lot to the times we are living in today.

THANK YOU CYNTHY. I AM NOT MUCH OF A READER, BUT I JUST SAW THE THREE LEFT BEHIND MOVIES BACK TO BACK WHICH INSPIRED ME TO MAKE THIS POST. THEY WERE AWESOME, AND VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD COME ON HERE AND PROVOKE THOUGHT.

Another great Christian author is Frank E. Peretti. I read "Piercing the Darkness" and "This Present Darkness"....fabulous books. It's been about 15 years since I last read them...I think I'll pick them up again!
