Subsequent truths

[Erinome]

I'm sorry that you have not come to know, there is always hope though nothing is impossible with God.

Nothing is impossible with God? Really? Because I know a really good guy, devout Christian, loves god.... He's prayed and prayed but he is still missing his left arm. Couldn't God grow his arm back? Doesn't he love this guy and want him to have his arm back? You're god isn't even real. If he is, he's terribly cruel.

First of all I was not talking about a rapture, it is death I'm talking about, these fragile bodies will soon be worm food. Second I do not believe in a rapture because the scriptures do not speak of one nor do they even suggest it. I do not know if Christ will be back in my life time nor even the next generation, I do know this He will return and then everyone will see the truth.

The scriptures do talk about it. There is a whole book dedicated to it. Are you sure you've read it?

Show me where scripture even mentions a rapture of the church, where in scripture is the word rapture. Please enlighten me.

Well, that's easy because the word "rapture" is an old english word, meaning: the act of transporting a person from one sphere of existence to another, especially from earth to heaven.

Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.

Just because he has a arm missing doesn't mean God does not care, you are being ridiculous.

No. I am not being ridiculous. I am asking logical questions about your god that you have to do mental gymnastics to answer because, in reality, your god doesn't even exist. And if he does, and he is everything you say he is, then he's a heartless piece of shit.

Being that God sees the future He would know best what your friend needs to make his life better, I know that having both arms would be great from our perspective but, we can not see into the future, your friend should understand this since he's a christian. If God grew back his arm would that not eliminate faith and faith is central to Christianity, but that is beyond your understanding, I hope it's not for your friend.

What's beyond my understanding is how anyone could spout out this drivel and actually believe it.
