Pretty straightforward, right? Son of Man shows up. Some are taken. Some are left behind.

The problem is this: taken means killed.

If you lived "in the days of Noah," getting taken by the flood wasn't a good thing. It didn't mean being rescued, it meant getting taken out. Dead. Gone. Killed. Knocked over by the judgment of God. Wiped out by the flood.

Good luck getting this little bit of common sense through the dense noggin of any idiot religious fruitcake.

Good point. When I think of taken I think of the fact that armies will be so bloodthirsty that they will annihilate one another. After al, bible shows that evil can be so self destructive.

If only you could reach back through the centuries to get your beliefs through the noggins of Cyprian, Irenaeus and Ephraim The Syrian, right? Whatever on earth were they thinking, those idiot religious fruitcakes, lol?

I could not find a single reference where being “taken” was translated to mean killed and judged.

.
But it’s not common sense; its insanity.

He needs to read a Bible. He is the fruitcake for sure.
