Can we not? I'd really like to know why you think Enoch was raptured when we have agreed on what the definition of rapture is (being something that only occurs in the End Times and happens to ALL Christians at one time). The meanings of the word "rapture": The state of being transported by a lofty emotion; ecstasy. An expression of ecstatic feeling. Often used in the plural. The transporting of a person from one place to another, especially to heaven. God Bless, Andy.

Did you get that from a dictionary?
We have been discussing the Biblical use of the word, not the dictionary's.

But we also need to look at the context of the discussion in which we are using the word. In this discussion we are talking about the word "rapture" and the Bible. In which case in the word used in regards to the event of those who believe in Christ being taken off earth during the End Times.
