"You will not find the word "rapture" in the Bible, it is a word used to describe a feeling one may have after an event that is predicted in the Bible. You may doubt the feeling now and you may even doubt the event that is to happen, it is up to you."

"The Rapture" is a modernist, New Age invention by one man, Darby in 1830.  It is no where in the bible.  It was not taught by Jesus.  And the way that it is used by the New Agers who call themselves Evangelicals, it is not a feeling, it is an event.  (Didn't you know that?)  To support it they have created an entire line of fictional hoaxes titled "Left Behind."  Nothing but fiction.

You can have the feeling of rapture right now at this moment in time, by communicating with God, your own concept of God.  You don't have to wait for a future pie in the sky event to experience it.  The kingdom of god is now.  It was here 2,000 years ago, you don't have to "be raptured" to enjoy it.

"The Rapture" is not biblical.  The History Channel just devoted an hour tp that exact subject, with many theologians (those who actually study the bible) poking holes in the "theory."  In fact, it was stated in the documentary that the vast majority of theologians don't believe in "The Rapture."

Come up with a better definition.
