That it is necessary to die first has been specifically pointed out as well. Why will you not accept it?
Not what the following says, so Why will you not accept that?
1 Thes 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (those that died) in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the clouds.
1 Cor 15:51-52 Behold I show YOU a mystery; (abracadabra) We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed (not die).

----------------------------- I see no point in discussing other points if you can't.
Hmm,,,, I find that rather odd, not to mention, if one doesn't have those other points correct, I think the subject of whether we die first is perhaps least of our worries?
