You reject the concept of the rapture because the word is not in the Bible.

No. I reject it because it's theologically bankrupt. The fact that it's not in the Bible is only dressing-on-the-side to this Doomsday salad.

The Trinity is in the Bible, but the word isn't.

I said the trinity is present in the Bible, but it was never defined as three-person/one God (substance) until later on at Nicaea in 325. It was generally accepted, but hotly debated since Scripture doesn't speak of the triune nature, just the persons.

I don't agree at all. The two things that come to mind is when the Pharisees asked Christ if he was the Son of God, and he answered them saying, "I am." Christ also stated that He and His Father were one. There's also Genesis, where the Scriptures show God as saying let us create man in our image. There is much in the Bible to suggest a triune God.

Yeah. I Thessalonians 5:16-17 is theologically bankrupt and it;s not in the Bible, either.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
