Except for us Christians, of course. Once the Rapture happens we have unlimited time for eternity! :p

Seriously, though, I don't believe it'll happen anywhere near that soon. Theories like this pop up among Christians all the time. It's just hysteria.

Can we keep this thread going until at least May 22nd so we can have a look at the page after the world is supposed to have ended... and laugh.

There was a website that I found once (Might have been Wikipedia or Wikipedia linked) that had a listing of all of the best known dates for the end of the world. There's hundreds or thousands of dates for the end of the world stretching back a long time.

These kind of things will always continue, such people promising Christians about Rapture, and telling them not to be involved, telling them to render unto Caesar, and not worry.

While throughout history Christians were among the most prominent to be attacked and imprisoned, and the whole current Rapture idea is only, what, 150 years old? I sure never learned anything about a pre-judgment Rapture; Heck the only thing that comes close is that the world will be reshapen -after- everything went to hell, not on a sunny day just before the bad guy takes charge of the entire world.

This is why I dislike the influence of some churches, of what they have become, and over what they want their flocks to believe. Sitting around waiting to get teleported out instead of encouraging to go out, protest, that sort of thing.

B: Base answers on unprovable "fact". (Somehow we learned exactly the year of Noah's flood and exactly the year the Earth was created.)

People like this just do not make much sense to me. They proclaim the world will end and judgement come, so all need to repent. However, the also believe(per their website) that a certain number of people are alsready saved regardless. So why proclaim judgement day if it will not matter what you do because you are already set?

People like this just drive me insane. They bring about so much reproach on the name of Christ and Christians in general for their own gain.

The rapture will not occur on May 21, 2011, and the world will not end on October 21, 2011.  Before any of that happens, a number of prophesied events have yet to occur.

I can see where you're coming from, but the zombie army gives you the delightful symmetry of turning the means of the apocalypse back on God.  Of course, you could have your cake and eat it too by utilizing the advanced supersoldiers zombies as cannon fodder to clear the way for the zombies advanced supersoldiers.

I've always found it interesting that people believe that Earthquakes symbolise the 'end of life on Earth' when tectonic activity is actually required for life that works on similar lines to our own, because it (often) means the planet is capable of generating a magnetic field.

I think one of the moons of Saturn has 'pseudo' tectonics with frozen and liquid Helium (edit: or Nitrogen, Helium isn't easy to freeze iirc), which is slightly different, but certainly a molten iron core is a good sign when hunting Exoplanets.

But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
In other words, the End could come on May 22, 2011; or it could come when some super powerful gamma ray burst hits the Earth and bombards it for 40 hours non stop in the year 2500.

Harold Camping may be sincere in his beliefs, but he is sincerely confused. He ignores much of the Bible in making his predictions, such as Mark 13:32-33, where Christ, speaking of the end times, says:

32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

The Tribulation is coming, but we don't know when. Could be tomorrow, could not be for another thousand years. We need to be prepared for it whenever it is though.

This is kind of old so you may have seen it but it's still pretty funny. A Christian group called Prank 3:16 did a rapture prank on this girl that was a little too obsessed with the Left Behind series. It's kind of messed up because they really freaked her out. Skip to 1:27 or so if you don't want to listen to host ham it up.

For the record, a few thousand people escaped from Rome on May 11th because of a supposedly predicted earthquake* which would have destroyed the city. At least now I know that it must have been some weird reinterpretation of this stuff.

*Google "Raffaele Bendandi". He hasn't prophetized anything for May 11th, but there's a suspicious paper written by him with the number "2011" on it.

Don't you guys get it!?

Christ was crucified on April 1, 33 A.D., exactly 722,500 days before May 21, 2011. That number, 722,500, is the square of 5 x 10 x 17. In Camping’s numerological system, 5 represents atonement, 10 means completeness and seventeen means heaven.

cmon, there is a simple logical thing to do in these situations:

step 1: find someone who honestly thinks this is going to happen (may 21st, 2012, whatever)
step 2: bet them $20 it won't happen (the only hard part, since they have to agree)
step 3: ??????? (i'll give you a hint: nothing happens)
step 4: profit (quite literally)

what happens if your wrong and dont have the money to pay everyone? well it doesn't really matter now does it, you're all dead. and think about it, even if you yourself think it'll happen do this anyway, either you're right, or your slightly wounded ego can heal itself with a few $20s

Post by: Pyro3d on May 20, 2011, 12:50:28 am
I think it's supposed to start at 6 pm in each time zone. So the key is to make your own time zone that skips the 21st.

I've been seeing a billboard advertising this every day on the way to school for the last few months, but never really bothered to think anything of it until now (Actually, I still don't. I just find it humorous that the rest of the US is only noticing it now.). Although I do wonder what they think's going to happen to the ISS + STS-134 crews, not being on earth and all.

I think The E has the right idea. Test how strong your faith is by letting me have your house, car, and dibs on that plasma TV. PS3 with GT5? Yea I'll take that too. I'll even sign I won't take possession for a week if you like, that way you won't spend the last day on the street. And since the end will supposedly come before I can take possession of your stuff, the joke will be on me, right? Any takers? This unlimited time offer stands for and and all Ends of the World in the future as well. Test the strength of your faith! No age limitations! Step right up!

Well, it's an hour and a half into the date for the end of the world here in Jerusalem, Israel, and I'm still here.... 22.5 hours to go I guess. :p

This reminds me of that book "88 Reasons Why Jesus Will Return in '88". Followed by the sequel, "89 Reasons Why Jesus Will Return in '89", of course. :lol:

An atheist and entrepreneur from North Hampshire, Bart Centre, is enjoying a boost in business for Eternal Earth-bound Pets, which he set up to look after the pets of those who believe they will be raptured.

He has more than 250 clients who are paying up to $135 (£83) to have their pets picked up and cared for after the rapture.

They would be disappointed twice, he told the Wall Street Journal. "Once because they weren't raptured and again because I don't do refunds

:lol:

He should probably charge more though. :D

Sometimes I wonder if one of the reasons Jesus hasn't returned yet is because of that verse that states, "No man knows the day or hour" - people keep on predicting He'll come back on this day or that one and don't leave Him an unguessed day to actually come back on... :doubt: :p

That's easy lol. One day, someone's gonna make a prediction for the sole sake of taking advantage of people. It'll be widely publicized, and no one will believe him. Since he's doing it to take advantage of folks, he won't believe it either, and then bam! It'll happen. Then, everyone will be surprised! Lol. My solution is to just live every day with the kind of imperative that a looming end carries. In truth, no one is promised tomorrow. If the belief in a looming apocalypse should cause a Christian to change their behavior, they seriously need to ask themselves why.

I'm not a total denier of faith, I just hate the way most of it is being institutionalised. I'd be happy if there was a God, but I have a problem with the very Human nature of trying to use that hope to control people. Whether He truly exists or not, God, and particularly Jesus could have been a great motivator for the improvement of mankind, teaching self-sacrifice and respect.

People often make the argument that Jesus said "I am a Sword", but I always think people mis-interpreted it, a sword can kill and threaten people, it can also protect and feed people, it all depends on the hand that wields it.

Well, I'm a Christian (light, not connected to a church and such) but I don't believe anything about any Rapture. It's typical arguements of people that are too scared to stand up for their faith and just say, oh, we'll be teleported out before the mess starts. Bull. I never was taught the Rapture theology, that stuff is probably only 150 years old maximum. Same with the other crap like the constant reussal of 'Render unto Caesar'. And more recently, the Clergy Response Team, using earlier mentioned crap. That pastor guy that has his radio show? He's very likely one of them. These guys are no Christians, they're fearmongerers, and got money to make. At least we won't see those snake oil salesmen in the next life. =P

I sometimes get the idea that the Rapture is actually a cull. :p Think about it. It would wipe out only the people who are certain they actually will be taken up into heaven. That wouldn't be most good Christians. Most of them would have a doubt that maybe they weren't good enough, forgiving enough etc. That maybe they didn't let Jesus into their hearts enough.

 It would get rid of the people who actually think they're morally superior to everyone else. Twats like the guy who started this rumour, leaving the rest of us on a planet which would probably be much better off without them. :p

That, of course, is presuming that it depends on us - how good we are, etc. Thankfully, it doesn't - it depends on Him. :) For an example, look at the covenant God made with Abram in Genesis 15. Traditionally, both parties of such a covenant would meet each other in the middle of the halved animal pieces. In this instance, however, God placed a deep sleep on Abram, leaving God the only one to pass between the pieces - a sign that it was a unilateral covenant from God to Abram, and that it wasn't dependent on Abram keeping his side of things to be maintained.

What was this whole unilateral covenant about? Gen. 15:18-21 states clearly that it is about the land of Israel - something another unilateral event planned to occur in September is directly is opposition to. Intersting times, for sure. :D

One passage that teaches about the rapture is 1 Thessalonians 4. Verses 16-17 say: "16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."

It's been an absolutely lovely day here (though we could actually do with rain), it's ironic really, because so many people seem to be slathering at the mouth for it all to end. Oddly though, I don't hate them, I pity them.

I could almost understand this mentality in countries that are torn by wars, famine and death, but the US is a land of plenty, it may not be perfect, but nowhere is, and a lot of the West do not realise how lucky they are. The thing that annoys me is peoples willingness to put the future of themselves and everyone around them in the hands of some unseen force, we have such potential as a species, we really do. I suppose it takes great courage and humility to say "We are responsible for the world around us", but until we do so, the mistakes of the past will forever return to haunt us.

I think it really shows the truth about most "Christians" today. They are not grounded in anything, grab on to the latest fad and know little to nothing about the Bible or why they claim to be a Christian other than they believe in God.

Actually reading their Bible would have told them that this prediction was all nonsense. Without that knowledge, they really are like sheep.

It's true that it places some of these peoples lives in very bad places... which is unfortunate. I feel bad in way. But I'm not sure how to express how I feel about that situation. The parents willingly placed their family in this situation, based on the ravings of one man/a small group, who they strongly believed in... but it all turned out to be false to the surprise of very few. In my view it's irresponsibility...but I'm sure they see it differently.

See, this is why I just can't get worked up about any religion.  I'll live my life and be the best person I can... and if there truly is a deity that "judges" us all, then my behaviour is between it, me, and no one else.

The crazies can continue being crazy so long as they leave me out of their craziness.

That number of 1.8bn does actually seem possible, if one counts as christians anyone who has been baptized whether or not they're actively practising.

Consider that much of South America is intensely religious, and their religion of choice is christianity. The same goes for much of Africa once you get below the Sahara. I would not be at all surprised if these two counted for upwards of a billion between them, if not more. Then add in Europe, North America and any smaller groupings in the rest of the world, and yeah, there could be 1.8bn. Again, assuming the definition is broadened to count anyone who has been baptized.

But of course, being baptized when you were a baby doesn't necessarily mean that you will actually believe in god when you grow up, which leads to a rather large gap between what the various christian denominations think their numbers of followers are, and the number of people who actively follow them.

Anyway, enough of that. Anyone besides me looking forward to seeing how fast the doomsayers can pedal backwards now that, against all odds, the world is still here? :D I predict deliciously absurd excuses, and that we'll soon have a new "real" judgement day scheduled to make up for 'calculation errors'.

Which obviously allows you to make generalizations like that about the 1.8 billion Christians in the world.

And at any rate, American Christians != Christians.

Who said I only had to correct American Christians? In fact, what is wrong with your perception of Christianity in America that when I point out that most Christians are surprisingly ignorant of the bible you decide I must be talking about Americans? :p

To the former, you didn't, and to the latter, remarks on this board to that effect that you did not contest.

EDIT:  I feel like I should say that it isn't a big deal.  I just don't like the overly massive generalizations people throw about.  That applies to any group, not just Christians.

he felt so terrible when his doomsday prediction did not come true that he left home and took refuge in a motel with his wife.
Because I'm pretty sure there's people now that are looking to kill him, he's simply hiding from them.
Doesn't mean someone shouldn't do the deed and do humanity a favor though.

Aww, I don't think they actually wanna kill him, just ridicule him into misery. :)

Wonder what his excuse will be when October 22nd rolls around?  ;)

Unless it's "I have bought into a heretical idea which has no biblical basis and was created in the 17th century to fleece the **** out of some poor English guys, and I should not have" they should have killed him.

Hang on a sec, if everyone has already been judged does that mean there is no reason at all to follow any of the laws of the bible for the next 5 months? Cause if so all of this guy's pretty female followers are invited to a post-Judgement Day orgy at my place. :p
