It's morons like this that discredit Christians and Christianity.

I mean, SRSLY. Okay, don't get me wrong: I'm Christian. But this guy is an idiot. It's like something went wrong in his studies because what he's saying COMPLETELY contradicts the Bible. First of all, no man or angel knows the day nor the hour that Jesus will come again. Not even Jesus knows. Only God knows and Jesus is just kickin back waiting for the word to go to town. Well, actually he sits at the right hand of God constantly interceding on our behalf, but that's not the point.

There is no secret code. And no God has not given humans the ability to decern some secret code we weren't able to decern before. And his math is stupid. I mean, REALLY. And what is he going to say when the world DOESN'T end? Last time he did this, he said he didn't pay enough attention to Jeremiah, which was were the flaw in his math was. No, his flaw is that he's trying to out-think God.

The Bible says that the rapture will come like a theif in the night, that there will be two in the field and the one will turn to find the other gone. Two in the bed, one will be gone. People will be going about their daily lives when people next to them vanish. Babies will vanish from hospitals and nurseries all over the world. Granted, I know this is hard to fathom, and sounds just as outrageous as his claims, but according to that Bible he's thumping THIS is the the way the Rapture will go down.

And it isn't up to God whether or not you get saved when that time comes. I mean, it is but it isn't. The Bible says there is ONE way to be saved: it's simple, painless, and doesn't require a monetary donation. 

John 14:6 says  " Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. "

And then  (Romans 10:9-11). “For if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved”

God is not a God of condemnation, he loves us even though this world and the people on it are so very screwed up. I may have offended like EVERYONE on my FL, but unfortunately, I don't apologize for it. Jesus was the most offensive man to ever walk the planet, Christians still seem to have a knack for it even today. The intolerance of a tolerant world, I suppose. If you have any questions or comments, have at it. If you would like to talk more privately, PM me. I do ask that you be respectful, even if you don't agree.

I'm not Christian but I grew up in a Christian background and it amazes me how stupid people are about this. Had one girl I know online freak out over it and I'm all "...you're not going to die. Its not the end of the world. Do you even know what the Rapture is?" x_x;; And she's supposed to be Catholic. lol Yet I seem to know more than most my friends proclaiming to be Christian. Kinda sad. I wonder how many have actually read the Bible. I have.

Problem came from her being Catholic. They believe differently than Christians even though we believe in the same God. They are also taught to not read their Bibles for themselves, they only know what is preached in Church which can be misconstrued. Bible says seek out the scriptures for yourself. Catholics don't do that.

Hi just adding my two cents. Catholics are no longer taught that they shouldn't read the Eible and while many follow what the pope says I can assure many more just seem him as a benevolent figure but don't follow or believe everything he does.

Problem here is that many catholics and I believe it can apply to mambers of other faiths are catholics because their parents are catholics and don't read the Bible or go to church that often.
