The Rapture. Take 2 (October 21st)

[Fhloston]

Oh, Camping. You so silly.

Also, end of the world needs to wait til after Oni-Con.. Not missing Uematsu live for this shit! :/

[quannum]

feel the certainty with which he spouts his voodoo tales

also, if any xtians plan on laughing at this ...

do you believe in the literal rapture (the dissappearing to heaven bit at least)?
if yes, do you believe it will take place in your life time?

[Demosthenes11]

THE BIBLE GUARANTEES IT

[Silenka]

I thought you were considered a false prophet after your first prediction doesn't come true, what happened to that standard? We're given prophets two and three more chances now? Pfft. If you're going to predict the end of the world you better fucking get it right the first time.

[Dimmauk]

My bad.

I always wondered if they based that character after him.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. Alright, heathens! Let us enjoy our apocalypse while those who praised God's name sit in lawn chairs up in heaven like a bunch of fools. They have all eternity to lament their boring lives while up in heaven, all we have is today! Lets get going with the activities! \m/

1) The literal rapture that the Church has largely embraced is a sketchy bit in the Bible at best, particularly if it's part of the Tribulation. If I had to guess, I'd say "probably", but I don't hold it as doctrine.

2) Even if I did believe it as a hard "YES!", the only Biblical answer is, "Maybe." Christians have been spouting off evidence for millenia now that it will be "in their lifetimes." Hasn't happened yet. While many have gone and looked at prophecies and said, "see!!!" most of those prophecies seem less prophetic and more descriptive... especially since in most of those cases, it has applied consistently throughout the last 2000 years at least (and generally for as long as we have a record of human behavior). It's usually part-and-parcel with Good Ol' Days Syndrome; everything was better before, things were never as hard as they are now (or, if they were, people handled it better), people were better, etc... and so when they see the Bible saying, "Hey, people are gonna suck, man!" they don't realize it applies to them, that it applied to their parents, and their grandparents.

Unasked, but I'll note that on both points (the "I don't know" and "I don't know"), I'm in the extreme minority of Christians I know. Interestingly, the other fundamentalists I know tend to be far more on the "IT'S REAL AND IT'S COMING IN OUR LIFETIMES!" group, while the more relativists I know tend to be in the "It's unclear." So take that for what you will.

A shorter answer like, I got nothing, would have saved you time.

You dare question being a windbag, you shall be left on Earth to rot with me, as you were clearly not saved on the 21st of May. It's okay! We'll party hard all night and day. But does the world end when the 21st begins, or when the 21st ends?

[MaachaQ]

It's already well into the 21st over here in Korea... Has the world ended yet? I haven't noticed anyone missing that might have been "raptured"...

[Cail]

Also, what time zone?! It could be happening right now!!!!

[hey]

Only Americans will be raptured.

We all know Jesus works on ET time.

I remember last time it was based on PST

[Xno Kappa]

There was no last time. This time is the real time unless god spares us for another six months.

[Celeste]

/god

Fuck Heaven, I'm going to Xibalbá! Mayan Apocalypse or bust. Harold Camping is a fool! That mother fucker was beat to the first post thousands of years ago in the thread of apocalypses. Thus the world shall end as the corn rises up and takes it rightful place as master of this Earth we've tainted.
