    It must be one of the fables that people get turned onto , rather than living with the truth that they turn away from .

    Yes easy is the way that leads to destruction . Like the rapture story.

    Real faith trusts God no matter what comes their way .

    Hi Clydeanne mauldin, the word rapture itself is not found in the bible. But it is implied. Rapture means, 'caught up'. In the scripture it says this

    Thessalonians 4:17After that, we who are alive and remain will be 'caught up' together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

    So caught up is a better term to use to describe what is going to happen. God Bless!

    Clydeanne,

    The rapture is taught in the Bible in 1 Thessalonians; it is just a matter of semantics. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 says concerning the rapture: Then we who are living and remaining shall be caught up together with them in the clouds for a meeting of the Lord in the air.

    The phrase "shall be caught up" is translated from the Greek word HARPADZO, which means to be caught up, to be snatched, or to be seized. The Latin translation of the same Greek word is RAPTUS, which is where we get the word rapture from. So whether we call it the rapture, or the HARPADZO, or say shall be caught up, it is all talking about the same thing.

    Hope this helps!
