I'm not trying to open a can of worms, so please don't flame me. The "Rapture" is a relatively new idea. It will not happen. It is not supported in Christianity. The Web Site offering the service is an unethical scam praying on venerability of many people.

Not to mention "no discussion of religion...." in the forum guidelines.

oh, sure, we'll let the GlockenHeimers of the world in. Just don't tell Jerry! 
actually, Kimber makes a polymer frame, so we'll just use that.
and besides, if it were true paradise, we wouldn't have any FTF's, FTE's, break-in periods, trigger jobs, magazine capacity issues...
no HiPoints allowed, though...

"In the encrypted portion of your account you can give them access to your banking, brokerage, hidden valuables and powers of attorneys," the site says.
"There won't be any bodies, so probate court will take seven years to clear your assets to your next of kin. Seven years, of course, is all the time that will be left," it explains. "So, basically the Government of the Antichrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way."
A more transparent scam I can't imagine. But sadly, some people (probably quite a few of them) are actually going to swallow this one...and then be genuinely surprised when they find that their identities have been stolen and their bank accounts wiped out.

I've read it. I've also read "Dominion," "Deadline," "Edge of Eternity," and "Safely Home" by Randy Alcorn. He writes beautifully about heaven. I actually exchanged several emails with Alcorn back when I was a new believer.drw wrote:This talk about servers and forums on "the other side" reminds me of an outstanding book I read some time ago. I'm not sure if this is appropriate for the forum here or not (and if so, please edit or delete this post), but I read an outstanding book several years ago by a Christian author named Randy Alcorn. It's called "Heaven" and is readily available anywhere.
Randy talks about the resurrection and the New Earth and what the Bible actually says about "heaven". It's a phenomenal read that really opened my eyes and, for the first time ever, got me truly excited to be anticipating the resurrection of the saints. I can't recommend the book highly enough (actually, all of Randy Alcorn's books are good).
The basic premise of the book is that "in heaven" we aren't disembodied spirits but rather physical people with new and improved bodies, living on a "new earth" that is just like this one (complete with grass and trees, dirt and water), but without the curse of sin. So everlasting life truly means life in the sense that we currently know it, without pain, suffering or death. That thought, for some reason, was extremely powerful to me and gave me a real sense of excitement for the resurrection. Do yourself a huge favor and check out the book.

And they've got it backwards anyway; rapture is what the rest of us will feel when there's a sudden shortage of self-righteous types.thankGod wrote:I'm not trying to open a can of worms, so please don't flame me.
