The Rapture a Glorious Event

what surprises me is how amazingly, fantasticly similar the two phrases are... Did Joseph ever read the bible before he translated his own? Interesting stuff
He went through the King James and the Lord literally told him what to correct and restore through the use of the Urim and Thummim (a seer stone) which is the same thing that was used in the Old Testament....

FFH,

Clouds are symbolic for a veil between God and man obscuring man's perception. To be caught up in the veil means the veil thins and we see better.

Symbolism is your friend.
Nice symbolism, but you leave out the "in the air" part. Explain that with symbolism....

translation: the teachings of men, mingled with scripture. :rolleyes:
Yeah, on your part...I have not interpreted anything out of harmony with scripture, on this thread...

Show me one interpretation, if there are any in this thread, not in harmony with scripture...

Most don't even look past the opening post, and all that contains is scripture, you decide what it means..

FFH, I have already had this discussion with you the last time you decided to embarrass yourself. I'll let my argument from last time stand. :yes:

I wouldn't use the term rapture in an LDS teaching setting of course, only in a setting like this would I use it so I can somewhat be on the same page with more people and work from there. It's a common ground whereby to break the ice.

You mean you don't want to be a Kirk Cameron Rapturist ??? :eek:

Man, I thought I almost had ya...:sad4:

Don't worry no embarrassments here, you guys are the only ones who seem embarrassed...

It's just a forum we are all anonymous for the most part...except Katzpur, she wants to meet eveyone, except me though, propbably, I would be too embarrassing to be around for sure.....:) Constantly talking about the ratpure and all...

That reminds me I gotta put a Book of Mormon in Kirk's mailbox...

Yes or No questions for FFH: (please no rainbow colored scriptures, just answer the questions).

1. The righteous will physically be taken off the planet earth for an extended stay in outer space in order to avoid the "tribulation".

2. At some point, there will be a large dinner (wedding feast) in somewhere in space.

3. There is a 7 year "tribulation" period.

4. The Tribulation has already begun.

5. You are aware of the identity of the anti-christ.

6. The rapture will occur years before Christ comes to begin his millenial reign.

7. The Bible Code has unlocked much knowledge regarding the rapture.


more to come...

Okay this is for Nutshell,

How can we descend with Chirst if we have not first literally ascended ???

Doctrine and Covenants 88: 96-98

96 And the saints that are upon the earth, who are alive, shall be quickened and be caught up to meet him.

97 And they who have slept in their graves shall come forth, for their graves shall be opened; and they also shall be caught up to meet him in the midst of the pillar of heaven—

98 They are Christ’s, the first fruits, they who shall descend with him first, and they who are on the earth and in their graves, who are first caught up to meet him; and all this by the voice of the sounding of the trump of the angel of God.

The reason this scripture states we will descend with the Lord, when he sets up his kingdom, is because we will have been "caught up" or taken off the earth/disappear prior to the Lord setting up His kingdom on the earth, so that the Lord, in his mercy, can spare the righteous, by removing them from off the earth, before he destroys the wicked in the last days...

You are making up that anyone is taken off the earth. Where does any scripture or LDS commentary ever say that we are taken off the earth?
