The prophecy is. If the rapture already happened in the Bible why would people expect it to happen again?

Where is the prophecy? Everything I've been told about the rapture is that it's a gross misreading on top of a gross mistranslation, and that it's not actually there in any respected or historical source.

Plot twist: the Rapture happened a couple hundred years ago. We're what was left behind.

We are all now that kid from the Slipknot music video:

I love how so many biblical literalists believe that the rapture will happen but then completely ignore the fact that the Bible explicitly states that no one will know when it happens until it happens.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2024%3A35-37&version=NLV

If you believe that the rapture will happen, then you have to believe no one will know when it will happen. The two aspects are inseparable.

Ok so you're saying Jesus will never come again and every denomination has been preaching complete bullshit the whole time?

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

The second coming is not the rapture. Not how that works.

The rapture is extra-biblical and not historically supported.

Unless you can show me where it comes from, I haven't seen any contradicting evidence that supports it being a reasonable or grounded biblical or historical reading.

Yep. They're called dominionists. And a couple other things, but that's the name I remember.

I think it was Renegade Cut that did a crash course on those protestants when he deconstructed Cristian movies, specifically the Left Behind titles. That's probably a better watch than getting deep into the weeds of anti-religion tube or atheist tube.

It clearly says no man knows the day nor the hour. Anyone saying otherwise is a con artist. This is mainly internet psyops because I know a lot of fundies and the only person I even heard a mention of this from was one of my ultra liberal Cali friends. I legit think this info only got targeted at liberals to annoy them and I have no idea why. Its weird. CE is only the second mention Ive heard of this and this place leans hard left.

BTW, many fundies *do not* believe in rapture theory. Its shaky, at best.

So is there any source on this or what? I've not heard any supposed rapture stuff about today.

Also there is no evidence of a pre-tribulation rapture. It happens somewhere in the middle. After already a lot of bloodshed.

I think TC was just making it up. I never found anything, and nobody else seems to have been able to either.

I wish a deity would rapture all annoying and destructive people away so the rest of us could live in peace.
