For all you Christians hoping to be Raptured.....consider this.....

[ABikerSailor]

You know, there are a LOT of Christians out there who believe the End of Days is going to happen in their lifetime and are hoping that they will be Raptured while the rest of us schmucks fight it out down here on Earth during the Tribulation.

Well..............they say that they will be "caught up" and float up to meet Jesus in the sky.

Only one problem with that, you get to a certain altitude, the human body doesn't have enough oxygen to stay alive. Another problem is the body, because we already know that physical matter is affected by gravity, and will always be pulled back down.

So..................if you're going to meet Jesus in the air, guess what.................your soul has to leave your body and you are no longer alive.

Still want to get Raptured? I personally think that a greater service to God would be to remain behind and help others to learn about God's love and how He answers prayers like you guys are always preaching.

Well, the god most Christians worship is strictly non-interventionist. This explains why the 'free will' of people like Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin is allowed to completely subsume the 'free will' of the people they kill. Well, sort of....

But still...............if you look at it logically, in order for the people to get Raptured, they've got to leave their bodies and die!

Gonna be a hell of a cleanup when it happens.

 

[Mousterian]

That conflicts with the answering of prayers, of course, but the justification of an omnipitant, omniscient god is full of contradictions, hence the universal cop-out 'God works in mysterious ways'

Hey, I know that the Rapture was invented by Cotton Mather. I'm surprised at the number of Christians who don't and believe it's actually in the Bible somewhere.

And yeah..............there are a lot of those loony Christians running around today who believe they will be Raptured in their lifetime.

Nope, AB. The transformation of our bodies will happen in 11/100th of a second. Glorified bodies that are no longer tethered my 4 dimensions. Just like Christ's glorified body that could appear and disappear at will. It wasn't magic, it was the capability to move from one dimension to another.

We would prefer that you schmucks come with us. But the choice is yours.

We will be coming back with Christ to end WW3 and help others learn about the Messiah and a love that surpasses understanding.

God gave gays all that talent. He must love them the most. Wonder what Jesus followers will say when Jesus asks?

Queston..............why 11/100ths of a second? Why not 10, or 20, or even just 3? And, where exactly did you get that figure. Sounds rather specific, so I'd like to know where you got it from.

Have you been attending Westboroan services? They're literalists also.........

you goyim are dumb as shit, the messiah has nothing to do with your failed man god nor was the messiah to be a god man , and nowhere in what you stupid goy call the old testament does it foretold a messiah would fail and then come back again a second time, but then again you are an ignorant goy who's man god was based on other pagan religions

It is from research done by General Electric.
It is the time it takes light to get from the front of your eye to the back. Twinkling is different than blinking. You need light to create that flash or sparkle, to cause the eye to twinkle. It is light in motion. You can blink in the dark.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.…

Sounds like a lot of pseudo science bull puckey. And, Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson would disagree with you quite severely, because the speed of light is 186,000 miles per SECOND, meaning that it takes a much shorter time than what your pseudo science would suggest. Matter of fact, Dr. Tyson said that we are all perceiving the world 1/1 billionth after we look at ourselves in the mirror, because that is all the time it takes for light to travel the 2 ft. from the mirror to your eye.

If you've got a link to back up your claims, I'd love to see it.

There is no such things as the Rapture. The concept was completely made up by a man named John Darby in the mid 19th century. He was a con-artist who was able to convince a lot of stupid people of a lot of stupid things.

That is not correct. And the Dead Sea Scrolls prove it. Darby conned you into disbelief.
Here is the truth:
The word "rapture" comes from the Latin word rapturo, which is a translation of the Greek verb "caught up" that's found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17.
You can call it the " rapture," the " rapturo," or "caught up" or "ek" or "harpazo" - it's all the same thing:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

And it won't be the first time it has happened.

why don't you give us the part of the dead sea scrolls that talk about this rapture, from the dead sea scrolls themselves.
