The Timing of the Rapture

If there is mention in the word of God of a Rapture then there will be a Rapture,

However, as there is no mention of the word Rapture then there is not a Rapture.

There is nowhere in the word of God that the word Rapture is ever mentioned, which can only lead me to believe that as the word is not mentioned there cannot be a Rapture.

The facts of the matter are that the word of God does not teach a Rapture but teaches the resurrection of the dead instead.

As that is the case, then the Rapture is nothing much more than a myth. The verses that those who believe in the Rapture say refer to a Rapture do not refer to a Rapture, but instead refer to the day of the Lord.

On the day of the Lord those who are still alive will meet the Lord in the air.

However, this is not a Rapture in the strictest sense of the word. Nonetheless, if one is to consider the day of the Lord as being a Rapture, as there is no one who knows when the Lord is going to return, then there is no one who knows the timing of the Rapture either.

Now there are going to be some who are going to read this and then come up with a load of verses to suggest the word of God does teach a Rapture.

Nevertheless, I dare anyone to show me a verse that says there will be anyone taken alive up into Heaven who are going to proceed the dead in Christ first.
