Because you're clearly still drunk, Jand.

As soon as you sober, then I'll know it's end times.

Because everyone who holds such beliefs are certain that they will be among the chosen people. And if they're still here then certainly the Rapture hasn't happened yet.

Exactly.

They're not in heaven cuz the rapture hasn't occured.

But maybe it did happen and God decided that there were only like 50 people worthy of entering Heaven.

The rapture isn't anywhere in the bible,it was just made up by some churches and that's about it. Church doctrine does not equal Bible, kind of like the Catholics. Many of their views and teachings have NOTHING to do with the bible at all, like the pope being ableto talk to God or how the Catholic Church was started by Jesus.

Sorry but the pope is just a man and isn't in the bible, and Jesus didn't start any church. He was Jewish and went to synagouges, there was no church in his lifetime. None of that is in the bible, just like the rapture. I wish more people would actually read it and understand it...

Actually the Rapture is the the Bible, or at least based on certain Biblical passages, notably in the First Epistle to the Thessalonians.

So then what's the Book of Revelation about?

Have you read it? It dosen't say anywhere that billions of people will get wisped up to heaven, it's simply describing the final days before Jesus is supposed to come back to rid the world of evil and judge the sins of man and bring in a world of peace. It doesn't say anything about people magically teleporting to heaven.

A lot of Bible scholars believe that the Book of Revelations is a story of man's conversion to Christianity through poetical text. Also if you make the implication that Jesus is the Son of God then it is safe to assume that the Catholic Church was started by Jesus Christ since Jesus said to Peter (the first Pope aka First Bishop of Rome) Matthew 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

Rapture = big hoover sucking the "good" people to heaven so they don't have to endure the end of the world process, including the breaking of the sevend seal, the horsemen, etc. You can tell that the people who wrote and edited this one were higher than kites on SOMETHING.

I thought the point of rapture was for the christians to be saved, while the horsemen cause famine and terrible warfare.

Anyway, it can't be as bad the atheist apocalypse, beware the horror.

Blue-Sky

It's symbolic, not literal. Each of the horsemen cayyr an item and ride a different color horse, for instance one of the horsemen carries a scale and this can be intertpeted in different ways. Some think it symbolises economic collapse while others think that the author (believed to be John,but no one issure)was trying to convey anti Roman messages(this is during a time when the early Christians were being persecuted by Romans)

Like I said either way it's symbolic and isn't meant to be taken literally.

In the rapture ain't there supposed to be a good guy who tries to lead savable people to salvation and an Anti-christ who tries to lead them to damnation or something?

Wonder who they were.

Do you know how many branches of Christianity there are? Things have been altured, changed and even removed plenty of times. I was never introduced to the rapture nor do I believe in the rapture. Most of the things people point out as ridiculous don't even translate to other branches.
