Christianity The Rapture

How many of you guys believe in the Rapture that is said in the Bible? Jesus ascending from Heaven with a trumpet blowing and Christians raptured out of here, and than the 7 year of tribulation accurs. I certainly believe it, I am a Christian. And if so what would Heaven be like? I know it's somethin that our humanily minds can't imagine. But what do you imagine as heaven being?

Nothing in the Bible is real. So no, there is no Rapture. If you believe in that than you may as well take Zeus or Odin into consideration too, but no one does, do they?

" @ValendianKnight: And I respectfully disagree, "

It's about as plausible as Ragnarok.

Charming. Coming onto a thread with the express purpose of insulting someone's beliefs; really good form that. It definitely shows maturity. Here's a slow clap; you completely changed mine and every other Christian's mind with such an eloquently written argument. "

Ya know that's a bit douchey on your part.  The OP asked for opinions on the subject and he gave his, what's wrong with that?   The whole point of forums is discussion, and if you can't deal with an opposing view point, maybe you just shouldn't read threads like this.  There was no insult in his reply, just his take on the subject.

Wrong forum, not wrong site. This should be in Off Topic. "

That wasn't opinion; and opinion is "I don't believe that anything in the Bible is true, consequently, I don't think they'll be a Rapture". Presenting opinion as fact, particularly in an obnoxious way (which he did), especially on such a delicate subject matter is the reason we have Religious conflicts. If everyone respected everyone else's beliefs, which this user clearly doesn't, means we wouldn't have conflict. "

You're the one starting the conflict.  He has no obligation to sugar coat how he words his reply.  It's obvious that it's an opinion regardless of how he presents it. You shouldn't let things like this get to you, turn the other cheek...as it were. "

Honestly, I don't think most things in the Bible should be taken literally, so I kinda don't believe in the Rapture. As with all thing pertaining to God(or whatever you may call it) and religion, I think its far beyond anything imperfect humans can understand

" @FadeToBlackBolt:   There are angry and negative people on both sides. Me, I like dark stories for the most part, but I do identify as Christian. I just never get involved in religious discussion on the internet generally because... well, bad things usually happen. They never end well. Same for political discussions. "

I am atheist, but I respect people beliefs

" @JediXMan: Really, I respect any religions...but what I don't respect is gay people. THAT is an abomination. (I know, completely off-topic for this blog...so sue me :P) "

I agree completely, and I usually try to avoid it. That said, sometimes "angry Luke" takes over and I have to yell :P

Heh heh, so true.  I've met some unreasonable Atheists, but the majority of Atheists or Agnostics that I'm around are extremely open to debate and civil discussion. It's when insults start flying that a problem starts. "

" @JediXMan: There is nothing wrong with hanging around a gay person. I have a gay cousin. But being gay is a sin. do you really think people were born gay if God said to be with a woman? No. "

" @FadeToBlackBolt:   Oh don't get me wrong, I've met a lot of smug Atheists too (same for Christians - actually, same for everybody. Let's be honest, here). It's just that the ones I happen to fraternize with are nice and enjoy a civil discussion. "

Hey! I like Bendis' Ultimate Spiderman ;_;... "

" @Deadcool: God wants us to be happy if it's not doing any sin. He didn't say "As long as your happy, no matter what the cause is, than go ahead and do it." And he did say in the Bible that homosexual is an abomination. "

" @FadeToBlackBolt: 
 
In fairness, your reply was to a very hostile and unnecessary comment.

I haven't read Ultimate Spider-Man (I might, though. Most of Ultimate X-Men - before around #60 or 70 when it became crap - was good and I'm enjoying the Ultimates volumes). He's mostly referring to Siege and what Bendis did to Sentry. "
