So would the rapture be like a bunch of people just dying?

No. The theory goes that people, including their bodies, will just disappear. The truth is that this rapture stuff is not in the manuscripts, nor is it in the Bible itself except that people take verses out of context, and couple that with the fact that
they do not understand the Greek, this rapture nonsense is fabricated.
In fact, Ezekiel 13:18 - will tell you exactly
what God thinks about the rapture theory.
It simply is not going to happen; nobody is
going anywhere, Christ is coming here.
There will be no gathering back to Christ in any form or fashion until after the tribulation of Antichrist. You would think that people would trust that their God is more than able to keep them safe, even if they fell into the fires of hell itself. Why they would think that they have to be removed, is beyond me.
Mark 13 includes a chronological order of events that lead up to the appearance of the true Christ; you will note that there is nothing listed that indicates that any portion of the population will be missing, dead, or raptured out. In fact, those who believe that they will be raptured before the Trib. of Satan, will think that the first "jesus" who comes on the scene is here to rapture them.
Well, the first "jesus" to come on the scene is no other than the Antichrist himself, and thats who they will run to for safety.
Did you ever hear of the books called "Left Behind"? Well, when you read of the two grinding at the mill, one is taken the other left; if you back up to capture the subject and the object of what is being discussed, it is that Antichrist comes first. This is Biblical illiteracy at its finest.
YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE LEFT BEHIND, BECAUSE THE ONE TAKEN IS TAKEN BY ANTICHRIST.
What a time we live in....even the prophets
wanted to be alive for this...

The body's Raptured, according to those that believe in that nonsense. Some Christians have bumper stickers informing people that they might disappear at any moment, and warning that the car will have no driver. There are people talking about ensuring that there's a non-believer in every airplane cabin so that the plane can safely land if the Rapture occurs.

even nonetheless the be conscious rapture isn't in the bible it is not a faux coaching as one answer here states a million Corinthians 15: 51Behold, I shew you a secret; we will not all sleep, yet we will all get replaced, 52In a 2d, in the quick while, on the final trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the lifeless would be raised incorruptible, and we are able to get replaced. a million Thessalonians 4: 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the lifeless in Christ shall upward push first: 17Then we that are alive and stay would be caught up including them in the clouds, to fulfill the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. people who're alive our bodies gets replaced

I believe your body is raptured. However, just the fact to be free from the fear of death as a believer in Christ and is beyond most unbeliever's understanding is enough to rejoice. Body or no body, we will be in HIS presence. I think there is going to be a lot of surprised people that day looking up. All of this is not about religion, it's all about a relationship with Jesus Christ. Religion makes people mean. It says you have to be just like me, act like me, believe just like me and so on. However, when your relationship with Christ is in a right place, everything else in your life will begin to make sense and as you draw closer to Jesus your existing relationships will get stronger.

No rapture, no problem. The rapture fallacy was invented in Scotland in the 1830s and is not taught by the majority of Christianity.

Our bodies will be like Christs was when he arose. Our bodies will be going up in the rapture, but they will be changed to be like him.

Just as with Jesus it will be a bodily rapture, which will then be changed into our eternal glorious body as it was with Jesus , Moses, and Elijah on the mount of Trensfiguration

the body stays on earth (but maybe raptured) , your soul is transformed and your spirit goes to God
