"I hate, I reject your festivals,
Nor do I delight in your festive assemblies...

...take away from Me the noise of your songs;
I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.
But let justice roll out like waters,
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."

-Amos 5

3. While various traditions of eschatology co-exist within scripture, nothing resembling the Rapture is even weakly modeled or mentioned.

4. I don't make unresearched statements about scripture. Ever.

First Thessalonians

1. Isn't originally written in Latin. It's koine Greek.

2. Doesn't speak of anything resembling the reformed evangelical reading of a defined apocalyptic summoning event and earthly escatological aftermath, which was invented in the 19th century by careless & ignorant preachers

Dayum.

I have no idea how you created that narrative in your head, but it's a funhouse I don't wanna visit. Apparently you know my every thought & motivation magically through your psychic powers.

Your rant is verbal masturbation. You're just playing with yourself in public. And your mind is a tiny dick.

Alexa when will we KPDH together?

Yes. Yes you are. Do you have a clue how weird and antisocial this entire thing is? That every time you double down on continuing this, you're just coming across as more unhinged? And more stupid?

It's a video game for God's sake. Get a grip.

Sir, you have real problems. I don't know who or what you are, but you're profoundly stupid and deeply unsettled. Please go play with fire or dive in a medical waste bin where you belong and leave us all alone. You don't need an extraction shooter. You need a long rest and some perspective.
