The rapture
Just wanting to know what people thought of the "rapture". My mother is a born again christian and she believes that the rapture may happen soon. She said to me today that all "big"things happen on a jewish holiday and she said that september 22 is a day it could happen..... what do u guys think? I have read that nonone knows forsure and we arent suspose to predict things , just go about are daily living...

Re: The rapture
As a devout questioner, I am not sure we can, or should predict such events. I don't know. I would rather spend my time enjoying life, and not worrying about the end of it.
No offense to your mom, or others who believe as she does. |

To be truthful Cindy, I live hour by hour, day by day, week by week. I could be run over by a car tomorrow or anything, a heart attack. September 22 will come and it will go like every other predicted last day. And if it doesn't come, we aren't going to know so I really don't think it matters. Peace girl

Re: The rapture
Why does she want it to happen Cindy?
I didn't mean to make light of it but I think way back around the time of Jesus they were predicting the last day and they have been doing it ever since. One day the prediction will be right but I don't think it will be when we expect it.

I was raised believing the rapture is/was supposed to happen. And it seems every generation trys to predict it. I remeber when the U.S. first went to war with Iraq. I was in jr. high and I remeber my baby sitter saying the the Rapture was gonna happen that night. I was scared to go to sleep that night. If it happens it happens, if it don't it don't. Just my 2 cents.

On the other hand I am a non believer so my opinion is perhaps simply wrong. Who knows? But I'm fairly sure it's not any would be religious leader. |
