The scary thing to me is these people put their entire existence into this idea. When you do that and suddenly it turns out to have been false, you get a very scary situation where that person can suddenly lose all mental stability.
To these people, this rapture idea IS Christianity and it IS God, so if the rapture is not real, then to them it must mean God also is not real, and that can cause these types to then see existence as pointless hence they no longer have any control over any violent impulses.

Do you have an example of this happening???
I mean, who is it you know (or heard about) that has “suddenly” discovered this belief to be false?... and then went on some insane rampage??? What triggered their dis-belief???
What event took place or COULD have taken place that caused them to realize that the rapture was false???
Do you know? (What would disprove pre-trib rapture?)
Look around you... who is it that is shooting up schools and churches? “Dispys”?... or people who cant figure out what gender they are?
What is amazing to me is that the scoffers here seem to know so little about what actually takes place during the tribulation, and even less about the signs Jesus said to be looking for when the day would be near... and yet here we are... Biblical prophecy is unfolding right before our very eyes on a daily basis, with just about every sign and proof that the tribulation is about to begin!... and yet it is kool-aid drinking christians who are ignorant and mentally unstable??? Really???
I’m serious about my question... and I’m not talking about date-setters who obviously don’t know the bible either.
What event would biblically disprove the rapture???
2Pe 3:3
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
“To these people, this rapture idea IS Christianity and it IS God, so if the rapture is not real, then to them it must mean God also is not real, “
Correct - and the multiple failures of the rapture prediction are then portrayed as Christianity’s failure
Good points. I say often that the preaching of the early rapture idea is so deceptive (not just to those preaching it but to those being preached to) as once main detrimental consequence would be NOT BEING PREPARED for what’s to come. If you seriously think you’ll be whisked off the earth before things break loose, you will not be on solid footing of faith and the WORD to withstand the onslaught of evil.
Not to label anyone that agrees with early rapture but it truly is a wicked teaching. We are being prepared for such a time as this so to tell people you won’t be here and won’t be needed is just.plain.wrong.
