The Rapture is commonly known as pre-tribulation. It is not in the Bible anywhere. At the last trump, yes. As for a place called Hell where sinners are tormented eternally? Not scriptural either. That is not to say there is not a place until final judgment where they are tormented with “what ifs” “why nots” and “why did I’s”. God has a plan, it is a bit complex and mysterious, who is anyone to delve into specifics, timetables, and eternity? We are forgiven if we truly strive to follow in the path of Yeshua after repentance. That is enough to start.

If you really want to argue though, get into reward for “works”. That is scriptural, and has nothing to do with forgiveness which is a gift. It has to do with going above and beyond that. It is called weaving your garments if my memory serves.

Eternal punishment is deeply scriptural.

Try some reading.

Prophecy speaks of “a place prepared.”

Unless you don’t believe God’s word, how do you dismiss such language?
