The reason May 21st rapture did not happen

Post Reply New Topic

Is NOT that the bible contains nothing about the rapture.

Is NOT that the bible says that only God knows the date.

The reason is that it won't happen, ever. When the world ends, it will be a disease or an asteroid or anything but it will not have any relation with the revelations , or dragons or fairies. ANY belief in the rapture is silly, not just the May 21st one. Thanks for reading.

Just the thought of a gigantic five fingered appendage looming out of the clouds grping for a human being to drage up to a non-existent heaven is too hellish for me to believe.

I will roast in hell first.

Right, well, the second coming of Christ was something that early church people thought was going to happen in their lifetimes, if not just right around the corner. 2000 years later, nothing of the sort has happened. This cannot be an imminent prophecy if it never happens.

Even further, the very theological framework in use for this is just going to be wrong. I mean, the belief system of the people of the time doesn't actually fit in well with the modern truths we have, nor is it sensibly plausible. I mean, at this point in time, if Christianity had just been introduced in our culture, it'd be laughed at to the same degree as scientology or any cult.

The reason the May 21st rapture did not happen is because Camping is an utter tool, followed by even bigger tools.

Calendar changes throughout the centuries.

And if said rapture eventually occurs, no one will know anyway. We will all be dead not long after and then it will be Life after People.

Claiming to know the Rapture won't happen is as silly as claiming to know that it will.
Who can know such things?

Wrong the rapture did happen we just overestimated the number of the righteous

Rapture and judgement day probably mean different things.

The Rapture is even lower in the scale of truth because it has been completely made-up. It is not even in the bible. Apparently some girls in the 18-th century invented it to scare townsfolks.

The idea of the rapture is that the good people, will be abducted before "the tribulation" so that they can keep happy thoughts whilst the rest of the people suffer in this world. This is incompatible not only with rationality, logic or science but it is also not in the revelations. It is even a direct contradiction with many things Jesus said in the bible, like his claims that when it rains it rains for everyone, just and non-just. Or something like that.

There is the same amount of evidence that Galactus will eat the world as there is that the rapture or the Christian judgment day will happen. Main difference is that the judgment day is more popular.

The reason May 21st rapture did not happen?

Not enough room in hell for all of us.

I don't find alien abduction any more/less plausible than a rapture.

Obviously either the people praying against the rapture outnumbered the people praying for the rapture, or they were more righteous, or they prayed more feverishly.

No other plausible explanation exists.

Huh. Im new here but from what i just read theres a lot of Christianity mocking on this website? how about the non-believers give a respectful and non-insulting form of argument and opinion. ya ya, you've all been on this website for years and you have seniority. but this isnt a matter of "who spends more time posting" its just common courtesy and respect
