So about the "Rapture". I know of the couple verses people use to back up this claim. Though as in Matthew 24:30-31 Christ states the Son of Man will come in the clouds and gather His elect after the tribulation.
Like I stated in another post about the "Rapture". If it is God's Will to snatch up His saints before the great tribulation, wonderful! If God want's His saints to go through the great tribulation to let their light shine to others, or some other reason, wonderful! It is God's Will that shall be done not ours.
You state that if "people don't believe there is a catching away of the saints" then "Paul made a horrific mistake". Just to be clear are you speaking of a pre-trib Rapture?. Maybe the mistake was made by man trying to discern the Word of God by the minds of men.
Again my feeling is to hope for the best(a pre-trib Rapture where we are snatched away from this evil world before the worst times) but be ready for the worst(make sure our faith in the Lord is solid and sure that we are ready to give our lives for Him).
I don't think any of us knows exactly what is going to happen. As long as we are with the Lord nothing in this life should scare us.
God Bless.

Good day brother John,
To say Jesus Christ "did not know all things" I cannot say that. I believe our Lord Jesus Christ is one with God. Can I explain everything, no.
Weather we have some differences on how we perceive certain things in Scripture is normal. No one knows everything except God. Like I stated in another post. As long as what we take from Scripture is in line with the Will of God then it's good. As the Word of God is living, very deep, and sharper than any two edge sword. Hebrews 4:12.
The important thing is we are both with Christ, of His body, and He is our Lord. Staying faithful and true, with a pure heart, to our Lord Jesus Christ to the glory of God our Father is key. Living for His Will.
As you noted in another post that John was taken up to heaven for the visions in Revelation. I believe Jesus Christ is there with God now. In Revelation 5:3-5 it speaks about "a man being worthy to open the seals" then speaks of the Lion of the tribe of Juda and Root of David being worthy to open the book and loose the seven seals. I see Jesus Christ opening the book just as it says. If you perceive it differently that's ok.
To believe in the three in ONE view is simply put by this: when we are Blessed to be converted, called or chosen, to be born of the Spirit from above, the Spirit of God the Father, the Spirit of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost all dwell in us. In one Spirit. This is truth and in Scripture.
Let us retain God in our thinking, trust Him, and He will direct our paths. Proverbs 3:5-6.
