All you need is simply common sense to know hell exists...you can get used to physical pain, the conscious thought? not so much, imagine if you're given all the debt of thought and evil actions you took without time to account for it/ eternity? Some die poor not having the debt of the world, some die rich having the debt of the world, to each his own.
That quote should make us Christians consider how much we are imitating Christ. I'll finish the quote for you. "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." We ALL need the Savior cuz we are ALL sinners.
Shouldn't you immediately leave ET? You should prefer God and not money. ET is not about God, it is about people preferring money instead. "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." (NLT, Luke 16:13) Oh yeah, I forgot: We are ALL sinners...
religion is but a crutch, God is but a man, devils are another time, and hell is where heaven is. Sheesh...the question of who will choose good over bad, and bad over good and call it good...
The texts in the mainstream collection known as the bible represent first generation confusion about what Jesus actually taught, which was understood mostly by Phillip (who had ability to appear and disappear at locations), a lot by Mary Magdalen, and Stephen, quite a bit by Thomas and Thadeus, and a few others you don't hear about much, as the best teachers were ostracized, and gradually went underground due to the unpopularity of the truth. Truth is still the most unpopular version of Jesus' otherwise authentic teachings, they keeping to a "narrow path", unpopular with the mainstream "broad path". That said, the "rapture" can happen to anyone, any time they are "ready". After all, salvation is today, any time today, all day long...for those that are ready. There may be several raptures, per person, before a decision, deep in ones soul, is made to make the bliss of rapture permanent. Ultimately, rapture is for the mind/soul, and may leave a body behind, technically alive, but unresponsive to stimuli from the world of physics. Bodies are not saved. Another word for rapture is revelation. Revelation is the mind opening up to knowledge, rather than clinging to its faith. Nirvana is another word, and the Indians have even more words, more syllables, to describe rapture, which is a break through, for those who are ready, who most often achieve readiness by regular routines that often include meditation. But it can happen spontaneously without any conscious preparation, usually coming to those who practiced preparation routines in s prior incarnation. The spontaneous raptures are mostly temporary, and may entice the recipient to seek deeper connections with the True Self, often characterized by dropping everything to devote full attention on the quest to be fully ready. So no, there is not a day in the future when the entire population of the world is faced with an event, ready or not. That is not how salvation works. You could be fully, and permanently "in heaven" tomorrow at 8 AM...if you were ready. You do not have to "die" what i call a traditional death scenario. Nevertheless, the change is so rapid, and so radical, that it could be called "death" to the unready, but "life" by the ready. This is because the ready consider the phenomenon of human existence to be already a kind of death. "Hell" is where the dead live, in a strange oxymoronic paradox, wrapped in an enigma, boxed inside a riddle. Thus understood, rapture and resurrection are the same thing. You don't know the day of rapture any more you may know the day of resurrection. The "last days" apply only to those who are almost ready. Upon rapture/revelation/resurrection, there are no more "days", as time is a false phenomenon opposed to the knowledge of unchanging eternity. There may be "signs" of readiness. I do not believe observation of, or the interpretation of prophecies to be a sign of readiness, but rather, a sign of unreadiness.
Here is more evidence that supports the Biblical record. One reason to believe Biblical prophecy for the future will certainly come to pass is that the Bible contains a reliable record of past prophecies fulfilled. Another reason to believe the Bible is that there is some archaeological evidence that supports the Bible as an accurate historical record. https://www.timesofisrael.com/archa...rew-text-in-israel-including-the-name-of-god/ Archaeologist Dr. Scott Stripling and a team of international scholars held a press conference on Thursday in Houston, Texas, unveiling what he claims is the earliest proto-alphabetic Hebrew text — including the name of God, “YHVH” — ever discovered in ancient Israel. It was found at Mount Ebal, known from Deuteronomy 11:29 as a place of curses. If the Late Bronze Age (circa 1200 BCE) date is verified, this tiny, 2-centimeter x 2 centimeter folded-lead “curse tablet” may be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries ever. It would be the first attested use of the name of God in the Land of Israel and would set the clock back on proven Israelite literacy by several centuries — showing that the Israelites were literate when they entered the Holy Land, and therefore could have written the Bible as some of the events it documents took place. “This is a text you find only every 1,000 years,” Haifa University Prof. Gershon Galil told The Times of Israel on Thursday. Galil helped decipher the hidden internal text of the folded lead tablet based on high-tech scans carried out in Prague at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
Very interesting, I read in February they found another object dating to David’s time with the Hebrew God’s name. Pushing the date further, now to find a Daniel scroll dating to 200-300 BC.
