The rapture

[Morpheus]

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words."
(1Thessalonians 4:13-18)

But yes, you also, are entitled to your opinion.

When will you and others here learn? We can keep this up all day. His POV is bunk. Your reply is bunk. He's a lair. You're a lair...

And you interpret that through your evangelical filter, and you believe it to be speaking of a physical event. And others interpret that through their occult, esoteric filter, or their new age filter, and believe it to be speaking of such things as meditative trance, telepathy, claraudience, bi-location, and so forth.

As I said, when will you and others understand this, and simply get on with posting your POV on the topic at hand, and leave it at that. Or is telling someone their opinion is bunk and a lie, a necessary part of your evangelical mission? I honestly don't know. Regardless the OP asked for all thoughts, so who are you to be singling out and tearing down those opinions you don't happen to agree with?

Jesus said to the world through Saint Sister Faustina during the 1930's as part of all Jesus' Divine Mercy Holy Messages to the world:
"Write this down, that before My Coming as Judge, I shall come first as the King of Mercy. Before the coming of that day of justice, there will be a sign in the Heavens. All light will be extinguished in Heaven and Earth. There will appear in the sky the Sign of the Cross. From each of the wounds on My hands and feet will shine forth a light that will for a brief time brighten the earth. This will be a short time before the last day".

All of Jesus' Holy Messages to the world through His Divine Mercy that is available for a short period for mankind (in relation to this young generation now) reflects Revelations that was indeed left by Jesus through His Disciples to man. People have no idea, just as I too, had no idea until Jesus spoke to my Heart during December, Jan, Feb, March, April, May and this month, through His Divine Mercy Chaplet prayed several times daily.

Kindest wishes

"The heart is decietfully wicked, who can know it?" - Proverbs, The Bible

The Bible is comprised of 66 books written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit over many millennia, with a central theme...
That of mankinds fallen, imperfect state, and God's love and salvation through substitutional atonement.
Which He Himself performed.

But yes, you also, are entitled to your opinion.

If these books were inspired by the holy spirit, how do you know this to be truth? By faith?
Ok, so then if men back then were inspired by the holy spirit, why then can men today NOT be inspired by the holy spirit? Why is there one solidity?
Why can we not evolve? Grow? Change?
It seems that today if someone were inspired by the holy spirit, it is devalued and made to seem of evil nature.
I guess my question is, what's the difference? Faith? Belief?

In 1980, the American Supreme Court removed the last remaining remints of the Bible from the American schools. I started school in 1982 and throughout my tenure, the Bible was never brainwashed into my generations head, not even in the slightest bit. The number of followers for this religion has declined by 18% since 1992, this because in 1962 the Courts had removed prayer time.

The days of Christianity are numbered, so much so that we will all witness its collapse, at least within America, in our lifetime. It is my generation whom are leading this charge and I assure everyone, it is coming and coming fast. The majority of my generation see it for what it really is and they know it is but a fictional tale. The churches had a long and lasting run though, one filled with murder, mayhem, rape, robbery, pillaging, betrayal, terrorism, and the biggest of all, its lie. Those verses of that book can be preached to me over and over again, however, I'll never see anything but the truth in them. This holds true with the majority of my generation as well. I will turn 37 years old in 5 days. I guarantee that in under 25 years, this religion and all organized religion within America, will have fallen far and hard. They will be mostly obsolete and irrelevant!

The death of organized religion is nigh and our new world of spirituality is about to take off.

Well, they can Jat'd, but, why not read about what the fruits of the Holy Spirit are?
Humility, meekness, patience, kindness, etc. - Anyone inspired by the Holy Spirit ought not to have a problem with Christianity. Myself, I have little problem either, with other "religions", as, at their essence, they all agree.

Also, "Evolve"? This is evolution in my opinion. And, refraining from the entering into a spiritual or religious forum, and insulting their faith and religion. That is not manifesting the fruits of the Spirit.
Meanwhile? "Evolution" also, has taken place in a time and space framework, or, "Construct". Which Physicsts today state is illusory, in agreement with the ancient spiritual teachings.

Thanks for your opinion, however errant. Meanwhile I just recently had discussion about the sstate of affairs since prayer and references to God were removed.
Before... things like Columbine were unheard of! - What are you boasting about..? How many other similar instances now have occurred, which were unjeard of?
What else has occurred since the removal of reference to God and Heaven?
Technological development of violent video games...

The devil is very clever in his devices. - Now, what is evident Brobain, is that the days of this planet, in it's current paradigm, are numbered.
As has been long prophesied in the Judeo-Christian Bible. Which if you had studied, you would have read.

You should lose your pretense.

In the early 90's the courts removed discipline from within the schools. Since this time the Columbine occurrences have started, thus because of the amount of bullying that has sprouted up within the school systems. I have been raising children for 18 years now and see the real reason behind this. The schools just suspend the children and send them home. Once home, their single mother/father goes to work and they are left, home alone, to run the house alone. As I stated earlier, I came through the school districts upon the departure of church, however, the discipline still remained. My generation had nothing like this within us. Columbine hadn't occurred until the late 90's, nearly 20 years after the school removed the Bible. I am a managing supervisor of a paper recycling facility and have been for many years now. I see plainly when the undisciplined generation started to come into the workforce, which was in 2009, roughly 19 years after the school stopped taking discipline actions. However, this is societies fault because society didn't want their children to get disciplined.

The Bible was removed from the schools justly because it was a direct violation of each individual's constitutional right; The freedom of religion. Prior to the separation of state in church, which the courts passed in 1947, every American child whom attended school was having this constitutional right violated and this held true in the highest court in America; The Supreme Court.

You are very correct though, my good sir. This is my opinion and it is based off the numerous articles and news headlines that one can read if he were to simply google "the decline of Christianity in America". I read in one article that an average of 9 Christian churches are closing their doors each day and closing them forever.

Perhaps you should lose your pretense, sir, and try googling that small sentence. You'd quickly realize how close my opinion is to being a fact.
