[syrenn]

Great debater?????????????

[Book of Jeremiah]

After rapture day and you are left behind will you believe then???

Yes.

And if it doesn't happen, will you believe then????

Will you remember this post on that day??? Millions of believers will have vanished,what will you think??? What will you say??? What will you do???? Your only chance is to call out to god! Repent and confess your sins,accept jesus as your lord and savior though after the rapture the anti-christ will try to hunt you down and kill you!!! Why not wise up and be saved now????

If you're able to pass down your religion to your gr.-gr.-gr.-gr.-gr.-gr.-grandchild, he'll be laying on his deathbed still saying "soon".

BELIEVE GOD'S WORD!!!!===First, you must understand this: In the last days people who follow their own desires will appear. These disrespectful people will ridicule God’s promise 4 by saying, “What’s happened to his promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died, everything continues as it did from the beginning of the world.”

5 They are deliberately ignoring one fact: Because of God’s word, heaven and earth existed a long time ago. The earth appeared out of water and was kept alive by water. 6 Water also flooded and destroyed that world. 7 By God’s word, the present heaven and earth are designated to be burned. They are being kept until the day ungodly people will be judged and destroyed.

8 Dear friends, don’t ignore this fact: One day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. 9 The Lord isn’t slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn’t want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act.

10 The day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day heaven will pass away with a roaring sound. Everything that makes up the universe will burn and be destroyed. The earth and everything that people have done on it will be exposed.

11 All these things will be destroyed in this way. So think of the kind of holy and godly lives you must live 12 as you look forward to the day of God and eagerly wait for it to come. When that day comes, heaven will be on fire and will be destroyed. Everything that makes up the universe will burn and melt. 13 But we look forward to what God has promised—a new heaven and a new earth—a place where everything that has God’s approval lives.

14 Therefore, dear friends, with this to look forward to, make every effort to have him find you at peace, without spiritual stains or blemishes. 15 Think of our Lord’s patience as an opportunity for us to be saved.
2PETER 3:3-14

These quotations of scripture have nothing to do with the rapture. The rapture is a man made teaching - Matt 24 Jesus warns us no less than 5 times not to be deceived. Those that endure until the end - the same shall be saved. The early church was not raptured out of their tribulations and neither will we. Believing or not believing in a rapture is not a matter of salvation. Believing in Jesus Christ is. - Jeri

THE RAPTURE (CATCHING UP) IS FOUND IN 1 THESSALIOANS 4:13-18 Comfort about Christians Who Have Died

13 Brothers and sisters, we don’t want you to be ignorant about those who have died. We don’t want you to grieve like other people who have no hope. 14 We believe that Jesus died and came back to life. We also believe that, through Jesus, God will bring back those who have died. They will come back with Jesus. 15 We are telling you what the Lord taught. We who are still alive when the Lord comes will not go into his kingdom ahead of those who have already died. 16 The Lord will come from heaven with a command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the dead who believed in Christ will come back to life. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive will be ""caught up"" (raptured)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. In this way we will always be with the Lord. 18 So then, comfort each other with these words!
BELIEVE GOD'S WORD NOT MAN'S SILLY IDEAS AND LIES!!!

Jesus is coming back once. Not twice. The rapture teaching began in the 1800's and is a man made teaching. It isn't scriptural. You are misinterpreting scripture. What you need to be doing is prepare yourself to endure until the end. Not expect to disappear at the first hint of trouble - like a puff of smoke - which is not going to happen.

WHY SHOW THE BOARD YOUR IGNORANCE???==The Holy Scriptures. They have the power to give you wisdom so that you can be saved through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 Every Scripture passage is inspired by God. All of them are useful for teaching, pointing out errors, correcting people, and training them for a life that has God’s approval. 17 They equip God’s servants so that they are completely prepared to do good things. 1 TIMOTHY 3:15-17

If you think the Bible is random, let's have a test. I need 40 people to write a chapter about something and when you're done we'll take the chapters and bring them together and see if they meld to make any sense at all. Then we'll see if they are numerically bonded, if they contain the required codes, if they can be used by way of equal distance lettering to produce prophesy. And if they produce the geneology of every human. And if they can be used to find the bodies of dead Israeli soldiers, and predict planes flying into buildings, thousands of years in advance, and the names of those involved in the act.

Why would God 's servants serve anyone but God? Get your own beer.
Abraham served God, but couldn't give one drop of water to quench the tormenting thrist of the rich man in Hades. Drink up while you can.

SATAN AND DEMONS AND THOSE THAT ALLOWSATAN TO USE THEM AS HIS TOOL,FOOL FIGHT THE RAPTURE TOOTH AND NAIL!!! ==After rapture day and you are left behind will you believe then???

Repent and confess your sins,accept jesus as your lord and savior though after the rapture the anti-christ will try to hunt you down and kill you!!! Why not wise up and be saved now???? ARE YOU READY TO MEET JESUS IN THE CLOUDS?? YES!!! '' THE CATCHING UP"" IS THE RAPTURE!!! For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 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. 17 Then we who are alive and remain will be ""CAUGHT UP"" (RAPTURED) together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1 THESSALIOANS 4:14-18

You know what?

You make a couple of good points here:

1) You're right that bible doesn't hand together and makes no sense at all.

2) And, you're right about the beer. Much more likely they were serving wine.

 

[GISMYS]

At the rapture(catching up of believers) believers are caught up to meet jesus in the clouds,later when jesus returns to earth to set up his kingdom we believers come back with jesus as his foot lands on the mount of olives!!!

Those gospels were cherry picked and a whole bunch of gospels didn't make it into the bible.

 

[GISMYS]

GOD'S WORD SAYS WE BELIEVERS WILL KNOW WHEN HIS RETURN IS NEAR!!! Be Ready for the Day of the Lord
5 Brothers and sisters, you don’t need anyone to write to you about times and dates. 2 You know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When people say, “Everything is safe and sound!” destruction will suddenly strike them. It will be as sudden as labor pains come to a pregnant woman. They won’t be able to escape. 4 But, brothers and sisters, you don’t live in the dark. That day won’t take you by surprise as a thief would. 5 You belong to the day and the light not to the night and the dark. 6 Therefore, we must not fall asleep like other people, but we must stay awake and be sober. 7 People who sleep, sleep at night; people who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 Since we belong to the day, we must be sober. We must put on faith and love as a breastplate and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 It was not God’s intention that we experience his anger but that we obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake in this life or asleep in death, we will live together with him. 11 Therefore, encourage each other and strengthen one another as you are doing.

the bible has no central theme (god does not count he's a cameo appearance)
the Gospels written in the bible are for the most part rehashed tribal tales and the "writers" are not credited.
Authorship of the Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

also there is a thousand year gap between where the old testament ends and the new testament begins ..


as to this NONSENSE "if they can be used by way of equal distance lettering to produce prophesy. And if they produce the geneology of every human. And if they can be used to find the bodies of dead Israeli soldiers, and predict planes flying into buildings, thousands of years in advance, and the names of those involved in the act."

if you take any book of the same length and do what the poster asks the results will be amazingly similar and just as false...
it has much more to do with probabilities then a hidden code by god.

When the Lord Jesus is revealed, coming from heaven with his mighty angels in a blazing fire. 8 He will take revenge on those who refuse to acknowledge God and on those who refuse to respond to the Good News about our Lord Jesus. 9 They will pay the penalty by being destroyed forever, by being separated from the Lord’s presence and from his glorious power. 10 This will happen on that day when he comes to be honored among all his holy people and admired by all who have believed in him. This includes you because you believed the testimony we gave you. 2 THESSALIOANS 1: 7-12

11 With this in mind, we always pray that our God will make you worthy of his call. We also pray that through his power he will help you accomplish every good desire and help you do everything your faith produces. 12 That way the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored among you. Then, because of the good will of Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, you will be honored by him.
