“And the people left behind can’t take care of any children who are left? Or animals?”

It’s a lot of animals and children, right? In any case, it’s seems like it is making trouble for people that are going to have enough on their plate. Also in a general state of chaos or worse, if the tribulation is going on.

“FWIW, most people holding to the rapture also believe that the children will be taken.”

Right, I understand there are differing opinions on this. What would you say the age is when you might not be raptured? Also, what about people conceived post-rapture?

“And who’s going to throw the cut off switches for dangerous machines? And don’t they have them anyway?”

They have them on cars? I would assume they would be things like car seats not having weight on them and so on, like for some riding mowers.

“Co-pilots can’t take care of flying a plane if the pilot is taken?”

What if they are both raptured, what if it a single pilot plane and so on. Why put people in that danger?

“Bunkers of food? There’ll be whole houses filled with food and clothes free for the taking by those left behind. Or did you miss that part of my post when I said it before.”

I thought there would be lot of chaos and wars and stuff? Or is that wrong? In any case, having huge stores of supplies around for something you are certain is going to eventually happen in order to help the unfortunate isn’t crazy. I mean it’s considerate and something Christians would do, at least it seems to me.

Do you even understand what the tribulation is all about?

It’s God’s judgment on unbelievers.

It’s not a picnic, nor is it the responsibility of believers to make sure they’re taken care of after the rapture happens.

Our job is to present the gospel to them so they are saved and don’t have to go through the tribulation.

But if they choose to reject, it’s on their heads.

Why are you demanding Christians prepare for the rapture to take care of those left behind? Why are you putting that burden on them.

You are postulating all kinds of scenarios which may or may not happen and I am not interested in hypotheticals nor wasting my time on any of the improbable scenarios you are concocting.

They can have whatever is in my house.

Put it this way.

If you are a Christian and feel that strongly about doing such a thing, then go ahead and do it.

If you're not a Christian, then your opinion is worth exactly nothing.

I am constantly amazed as how many non-beleivers know exactly how Christians should be acting and what they should be doing, even things that God Himself never demands of His children.

Have a good night.
