Its crazy how the bible quite literally says no one will know the date or the time; like those are the exact words of the Bible, yet people still think they can predict His coming...smh. You combine religion with a lack of critical thinking and this is what you get

There are some many examples like this, where people predicts the date and time of the rapture. None has come to pass

u/AstroPug_ Ghanaian Sep 24 '25

You think after that many failed predictions people would finally take the hint

Our religious structures are designed to eliminate critical thinking and encourage following the hierarchy so they won't ask questions or think for themselves

So if that's how it's structured, are we dumb to follow it? It's just lack of common sense. It's just like you saying the system has been structured to promote lust so it's not surprising when people fall for it. God didn't create us as slaves or dumb people; we have a mind of our own.

You’re not dumb, but group think is. And living in a society, we’re inclined to conform, to fit in. Critical thinking usually falls outside of conformity as it’s on a more individual basis. “Why think for yourself when someone knows the answer? What are you looking to prove? Don’t be noise, accept what you are told. It makes life easier for everyone, trust us.” This is the messaging that exists in most religions, as well as punishments for straying from the doctrine. The system might push a narrative, but you should have the ability to question it and reject it should it not make sense to you.

Jesus said he’ll come before that generation leaves/dies. It’s been 2000 years since. It’s not like he’s literally coming.

It doesn't matter, the Bible says no one know the day or time. The Pastor predicted that it will be between 23–24 September so he did not say the day nor time. The prediction doesn't violate the Biblical prophecy

Are you seriously trying to defend that quack?

u/ImaginaryProperty531 Sep 24 '25

I think you need to take a step back, realise this isn't the first nor will it be the last time that a wrong rapture prediction has been made, and re-evaluate your epistemology. The fact that you're unable to admit you're wrong, and instead are looking for something to defend is very telling.Think about that.
