The Rapture Is a Mythological Religious Event! It Will Never Happen!

Relax! The rapture is not going to happen today, tomorrow, on October 9th, or any other future date that rapture-obsessed Christians guess and try to make a case for.

Scripture makes it very clear that the rapture event was supposed to happen back then, not 2000 years in the future. Jesus Christ said that he would return before the people who were standing before him tasted death (Mark 9:1) and before his disciples had made it through the cities of Israel (Matthew 10:23). And the apostle Paul and all of the New Testament writers clearly expected the rapture event and the end of the world to occur during their lifetimes. The apostle Paul clearly believed that he would be alive when the rapture event happened:

1 Thessalonians 4:15 NKJV
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.


The rapture is a false doctrine taken from an ancient, failed apocalyptic cult. It didn't happen 2000 years ago,  and it is not going to happen during our lifetimes, and it is never going to happen. It's a false hope from a demonstrably false religion.

The non-return of Jesus Christ was a serious problem by the end of the first century and it's why the book of 2 Peter was written. And the apocalyptic message in the anonymously written Gospels was toned down over time, and the message changed from the imminent apocalypse and end of the world to eternal salvation. 

The Bible is a collection of ancient religious mythology and fiction. It contains hundreds of meaningful contradictions, myths, fables (stories involving talking animals), numerous hilarious absurdities, unicorns and satyrs and cockatrices, and lots of non-historical history. And it is a flat Earth book from cover to cover, and several major Christian doctrines depend on the cosmology of the Bible, which features a flat Earth covered by a solid dome firmament in which the stars are fixed. The Bible is fiction! It is a product of the times in which it was written, and it does not speak of the distant future or our current day at all.

The Christian faith is very easy to prove false. What we know now from science about biology and the evolution of the human species proves the Adam and Eve myth false. Adam and Eve never existed, and we were not created by a god. We evolved over the course of several million years from a long line of hominid species, and this fact is easy to verify. So... No original couple, no Garden of Eden, no fall into sin and no need for redemption. There was never a first Adam, so no need for Jesus Christ to be the second Adam. In addition to that, there is no geological evidence that a global flood has ever taken place, and there has never been a time when the human population was whittled down to just eight people on a boat.

THE BIBLE IS FICTION!

Carry on! Relax and enjoy your life and stop wasting your time and emotional energy worrying about ancient religious mythology and mythological religious events.
