The "Rapture" Myth. by bolaino(op):
Greetings to my christian Brothers and Sisters on Nairaland, I would like to tell you about a myth that you have been told about in sunday schools and bible studies, and that is the myth of the supposed "rapture" of christians, in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, it is claimed that christians who have been faithful will be taken up in the clouds at the sound of a trumpet on the last day, and the dead in christ will also be taken up to heaven, and people will be seeing the saints hovering in the skies on their way to heaven to meet with jesus, I know, I know you want people like myself to go to hell and you would want to see sinners being punished, but the truth is the Rapture is a myth, it's absurd, and it's not going to happen, you can keep day dreaming about being in the sky on the last day. But I'm here to assure you that the rapture will not happen. You will not have the satisfaction of having to witness the rapture because it is a myth. Even many christian scholars believe it to be a misinterpretation of the gospel. Your names won't be there when the roll is called up yonder. Christians are very hypocritical, deep down inside of you, you want people to go to hell so that you will go to heaven and be like " look at bolaino and all those freethinkers on nairaland, look at them screaming in hell fire, we were preaching for them then, but they did not believe us, Thank God they are in hell fire and we are in heaven, na e good for them, thank God say we make heaven and dem go hell" that is what you all wish for, but I'm sorry to bust your bubble. Your Rapture won't happen because there is no basis for it, hence it is mythical. Rapture is a myth, the sooner you realized this the better, take a look at your so called men of God, some are buying weapons with their planes, some are burying people's skulls in their alters, some are fornicating and divorcing their wives. They seem not to be concerned about Rapture, because they know it's not going to happen. Keep on waiting for Rapture.

hmmm. Bolaino, I thought you wanted to ADDRESS the issue of the rapture but all I read is your deep seated and baseless anathema for preachers. In fact, it is very safe to say your topic is just a front to air your biased and confused opinion of Christians and, especially, preachers who have no connection or significance with your topic.

Since your speech has no main point, you digress without warning, make unnecessary and incoherent connections just as you did not forget to inject your biased accusations which are highly uncalled for, and end your bitter rant without even caring to make little sense I shall just peg your speech down to a senseless heap of gibberish - that irritating buzz of a fly in the ear....

What I see is fear and conviction. You feel condemn in your heart and you are intimidated by devoted Christians. The trust is anybody can make heaven if they want, even you. God love you and had made every provision to ensure that you will be with him. He even went as far as giving you is nature so that you can be like him (2Peter 1:4). What Christ has done is enough to help you make heaven. Just allow him work in you and don't allow anything or anybody make you feel condemned. For the Bible says "if your heart condemn you, you should know that God is greater than your heart (1John 3: 20).

Do you believe you'll make heaven?

Paul said in Titus 3:7 "Because of his grace he declared us righteous and gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life." (NLT) and in Rom 5:2 "Because of faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God's glory." (NLT). We have full assurance and no reason to doubt. But don't let anybody condemn you for God is not condemning you. The Bible says "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, a who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us." (Rom 8:1,9-10 &33-34 NKJV ).
