        Actually only the souls of the saved go to heaven. The bodies stay behind, and without any clear cause of death they become feral animals that sublimate their previously-ennobled desire for human togetherness into a simple guttural desire to consume human flesh.

        The rest of us unrepentant sinners are left conscious among this new sea of soulless flesh, to defend ourselves against their ravenous teeth.

        The saved man does not live on bread alone. He also desires communion, and Jesus has left the building.

        The rapture is unbiblical anyway. None of this really comes from the actual text - it’s squinting and connecting random unconnected Bible verses.

          We’re not talking about the rapture, we’re talking about the second coming.

          The rapture is the unbiblical doctrine that all of the people who are saved will just disappear and the rest will be left behind.

            Is The Rapture threatening us with a good time?

            Also, I didn’t know the difference between the rapture and the second coming of Jesus so thanks for the info!

              Well, Jesus also said the worst people are the people to make a big public show of being religious, and that when they get to judgement day he’s gonna be like “I never knew ye” because they were terrible and false.

              I used to be in the same boat- I just thought the rapture was a synonym for the second coming. It’s rapture theology that’s unbiblical, but not the second coming itself.
