What need to happen before the end times ?

[Athanasius]

Growing up in Pentecostal churches i was taught rapture could happen any time .

And, breakfast isn't served in hell. Jesus freaks don't go to Hell, but impure girls do. Only pure girls and men who can keep a promise go to heaven. Both of whom should kiss dating goodbye because, you know, side hugs are the only holy option. Girls are only ever girls, and boys grow into men.

So pray to be included in the rapture, or stick around and watch some airplanes crash.

Do you really believe that God the Father would allow people to die when he raptures believers?  He would then be labelled as a sloppy murderer.

1. Breakfast in Hell, Newsboys
2. Jesus Freak, DC Talk
3. Impure girls, Christian youth group purity culture
4. Pure girls and men, Joshua Harris, "I kissed dating goodbye" and "Boy meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship"
5. Kiss dating goodbye, Joshua Harris, again
6. Side hugs, Joshua Harris again, and youth group purity culture, again
7. "Girls are girls and boys are boys", Western social wisdom passed off as profound theological insight
8. Airplanes crashing, the opening scenes of the first "Left Behind" movie

I didn't share anything about what I believed. Everything I shared is what other people believe.

But since you asked, do I think God is going to rapture billions(?) and protect the world from the consequences of billions(?) of people disappearing? No. If you think that makes God a sloppy murderer, then that's something to work out with your theology.

Sigh... an irksome remnant of one of the oddest and most exploited teachings of the televangelist era.
