The bible has one author so I don't accept limits like that.
They are not limits since not everything in the Bible applies to you.
eg that same 'Author' required sacrifice of animals so why do we not do that today?
..
Paul does not teach ""He returns to the Earth and that's where the church will be.""
Paul teaches we will be in Heavenly places and not on earth.

God no longer requires them.

He taught that while he was alive and applied it to that time period not the future, so it was not literal or related to the rapture etc.

Again, no scripture places Christ in heaven ever again after the second coming. No one is ever said to go to heaven after the second coming. No one but the Father is ever written to leave heaven after the second coming.

The rapture is designed to find and bring upwards all the surviving saved Christians all around the world and bring them all to one place, the clouds and this is where Jesus will be for a brief time before he continues his descent to the Earth during the Millennium and for all eternity.

Animal sacrifices <<""God no longer requires them""
Yes, not everything in the Bible applies to everyone
..
"""The rapture is designed to find and bring upwards all the surviving saved Christians all around the world.......clouds..."""
Who are saved & sealed by the Gal 1:11-12 Gospel taught uniquely to Paul by Christ which Paul himself had to Gal 2:2 teach the 12.
..
""""before he continues his descent to the Earth during the Millennium"""
Paul verses please that teach the cloud saints will also be there instead of Heavenly places
I can't find any.
..
""and for all eternity""
Yes, Rev 21 appears to teach everybody who was ever saved will be there.
