When the Rapture comes- all the children leave

RE: When the Rapture comes- all the children leave
Quote:"Behold, I show you a mystery-we shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed- in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall be raised incorruptible (immortal) and we shall be changed. For this corruptible (decay-able) must put on incorruptible and this mortal must put on immortal."


Fantastic when Handel wrote the aria for the last act of Messiah.






Otherwise...just rather silly shit.

That's your evidence for the Rapture?

And this can't be about the Final Judgment that Paul believed would happen in his own lifetime because...?

Because we are not appointed to wrath.
"Because you have kept the word of My patience- will keep you from (eck- out of) the hour of testing..." Note the keeping of His word and patience.

The events of the tribulation period (the time of testing coming upon the whole earth) also have the wrath of the Lamb (Jesus) upon His enemies. We simply cannot be here for that.

Nah, not worried about all that BS at all. Funny that you pretend to know something useful, when you only know xtian fan-fic.

Nope, not anymore, we just banned her Big Grin *harharhar*
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

That's OK LastPoet. People seem to love fantasy stories.
Personally, I would love to see no one here, when the Man of Sin steps out onto the stage in full power but that ain't gonna happen.

Oh camon, be honest, you'd love to see all atheists bite the dust when your imaginary bad guy could arrive.

LastPoet, totally the opposite.
I want you guys to have victory.
I don't even hate the bad guys. I do want to see them stopped though.
I want you to know about the bad guy NOW so you not follow him later.

Never was any good at games, but I look at this as a strategic game like chess, where the players are actually on the board. And the entire board is composed of squares representing multitudes of views of life.
We may not have choose to be on the board- but we are here.
All the squares are contradictory.
One and only one is correct.
Please win the game.
