[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some Christians don’t believe in the rapture[/quote]

It’s not part of my Church’s theology. Nor is believing this is an act of God.

I do think this is the end of the world as we know it and that’s not a bad thing. Hopefully, a kinder, gentler, less wasteful, more responsible humanity emerges.[/quote] This is the first I've heard anyone say anything about the rapture and the pandemic, but your comment got me thinking about what religions do and don't believe in a rapture. Don't all christians believe in a resurrection and second coming? Isn't that the same as a rapture but just different wording? Very curious.  :?: [/quote]

No, it’s not.

The Rapture is the idea that a certain set number of devout individuals will be physically carried off to Heaven and this spared the horrors of a thousand year war between good and evil that commences with the second coming. Few Christian religions teach this. It entered the mainstream consciousness because of the Left Behind book series.[/quote]
