According to the Bible, those who are left behind are the righteous: Deal with it.

Deal with it.

You are wrong.

You need to face that you don’t believe - you are self deceived - and you need a Savior. You need Christ.

Parky60 laid it out succintly. Its not too late for you.

Admit you’re a sinner (Romans 3:10; Romans 3:23)

Believe that Jesus is Lord, died for your sins and rose from the dead (Romans 5:8; Romans 6:23)

Call upon His name (Romans 10:9; Romans 10:13)

I'm supposed to believe it just because you say it? Prove it using the Word of God.

But notice, in verse 15, Paul says that “…we who are alive, who are left,” shall be caught up. This is a very important point to stress to rapture enthusiasts. Those who are “left” get caught up to meet the Lord. Keep that in mind as we look at these next couple of Scripture passages.

Read Matthew24:35-40. who is left behind? 36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. The one taken is the sinner.

Verse 15 of Thessalonians 4 you mean? It looks like you’ve copied this idea from somewhere. Where? Then your errant theology can be addressed more thoroughly.

This refers to Christians alive at the time of the rapture who will see Christ at the rapture - but those who died will rise first. Read verses 16 and 17. They prove you wrong

You’ve got to be kidding. The ones left are the ones who aren’t saved not the righteous.

I don’t know who you’ve studied with but I recommend finding someone else. I think Ravi Zacharias has some online courses and he’s an excellent Christian apologist.

Like Ravi. A bit full of himself but decent, in a pedestrian sort of way.

You insult a good Christian man whose work on this earth is to spread the good news.

I recommended him because you have no spiritual discernment. Maybe he - or someone else - could be the gateway for you to begin to know Christ and God's word. You don't know either
