 "question": "What is the Rapture?",
 "answer": "The Rapture is the moment when Christ takes the Church out of the world. The English word comes from the Latin translation of a Greek word used only a handful of times in the New Testament. Harpazo means to take by force, to snatch out of imminent danger. In the earliest Latin translations of the Bible it was rendered rapere, the root of several English words including rapture, which carries the idea of being carried away.\n\nThe New Testament also calls this the Day of Christ. It is a day when believers become blameless in Christ - we may not be blameless now, but we will be blameless forever in His presence. It is a day of salvation and rejoicing, and there will be no condemnation in it.",
