Tell them off quietly. You know we atheists can never believe anything out of your holy books (it has to do with Constantine's restructuring the whole Bible) so just tell them they have theirs.

To a Believer and student of the Bible ,The Rapture is a Glorious event which God has Promised to the Church. The Promise is to return and Snatch up His church, living and dead to Heaven and deliver them from the time of Judgement and Tribulation that will come upon the earth when God's Wrath is poured out on a Rebellious and unbelieving world during the End times.

To the Unbeliver, The Rapture is a Preposterous, Convoluted fantasy that is right out there.

Sadly, Some churches , pastors, teachers, etc Refuse to believe and teach what is Clearly taught and Promised in the Bible.

1Thelsalonians 4:16-18
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1Corithians 15:51-53
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.


The Rapture is an Event in which the LORD JESUS CHRIST, descends from Heaven in the Clouds, and with the Sound of a Trumpet, Calls from the earth all those who have Chosen to put their Faith, Hope and Trust for Eternity and Salvation in Him.

The Rapture is the next event on Prophetic timetable. You Believe or you don't is irrelevant! It will Happen.
It will be in a twinkling of an eye. It will be just like every normal day. Many will not Even know. Many will be involved in their various affairs not knowing the Rapture has taken place and the Saints have been Snatched away.

Get Prepared Folks! For in such an hour that ye think not, The Master will Show up.

Salvation through JESUS Christ is all that is needed to be taken away. Flee from all form of Ungodliness, unrighteousness, Wickedness and so on.

Live Ready! Live Rapturable!

Bros the rapture is not how you describe it even wiht these bible verses

Paul is obviously wrong about his own interpretation of the Bible text in Enoch

Jesus won't come back until hes ready to come reign on the earth

So if after the sound of the trumpet the dead rise first and then the living to go and meet Jesus In the sky ?

What happens then

Nobody is meeting anybody in the sky o

When Jesus is coming , He's coming wiht ten of thousands of angels and he's going to battle the Antichrist first

After that, he's going to raise up the dead and they will live for one thousand years

......
If anybody is going to be saved from the coming tribulation, God will know how to hide them somewhere before Jesus comes back

Have you considered why most pastors have stopped preaching about rapture?
Perhaps because after over 2000 years there has been no rapture.
Perhaps because people once sold of all their properties and forfeited their lives just because of such rapture preaching.
Perhaps because those who preach rapture are usually broke people who have nothing to live for.
Perhaps because the idea of rapture makes no sense.
Perhaps because God himself promised Noah he would never destroy earth again after the first flood.
Perhaps because there is no proof of heaven and hell.

What actually amazes me is how often people claim to see visions of hell but never see visions of heaven.

Perhaps you believe you need to scare people to make them believe the gospel because your lifestyle is not witness of the gospel.

Christians need to understand that tribulation comes before rapture.

Jesus specifically said this....

The reason for the Rapture is to take away the saints before the terrible day of God's judgement on the Antichrist and those who received the mark of the beast.

Jesus cannot lie. Left behind isn't in the Bible.

Prepare yourselves and hold on to God as this trying times come.

The reason for the Antichrist is to make war with the saints, and if the saints are gone before he comes, then the Bible has lied.

One of the reason i do not like any religion especially the Abrahamic religion is because religion is eschatological, In the sense that it is more concerned about what happens to you after you are dead, than what you do with your life while still being on earth. But it still wants to take full power over your life while being alive.

Free yourself from mental slavery.

The bolded is a lie. That is the heresy that you all preach. Christ's second coming is going to be glorious. All eyes will see him when he come as written in Rev 1:7. It's not going to be a secret taking of some people while others are not away. We don't know the time it will happen but when it happens both the sinners and believers will know what is happening.

Op when i took a glance at your narrative i couldn't just resist the impulse to laugh. your explanation about rapture is totally wrong, and this is the problem with most Christians today, the inability to comprehend the bible and the mere misapprehension behind it. Well I'll try to be concise in other to preclude myself from engaging in a lengthy conversation .The word rapture dosen't mean jesus and other arch angels in heaven would descend down to earth and pick only the saints while others would be left out. No. When someone dies and departs from the world that's when your own rapture would take place . So if u r waiting for Jesus to come down, you're waating ur time bcs five thousand years from now nothing would happen.
