ANYTHING is possible. The Great Delusion must be something so easily believable because of HOW we're raptured. Again scripture says it's a great mystery and that's probably a good thing.
See how all the End Time movies make up rapture scenarios as if they were Truth? Now, unbelievers may be seeking THAT kind of rapture and when it doesn't occur like that, they won't think it's the Rapture that's been spoken of so much. They'll be easily deluded.
As for anything being left behind that's also conjecture. It's possible that in our "renewal" or "change" that those things just disappear or disintegrate.
I think the End Times movies have done a great disservice. They've made conjecture and personal interpretation into accepted truth/fact.

Wut?
<Edit> Now I get it, the Rapture won't be people flying up in the air or vanishing from their clothes, it'll be something different like the lucky recipients turning into carrots and being eaten by the Easter Bunny, or something similar;

Nope, that's wat them thar preachers pull outta their asses when they have no "logical" answer.

True.

True

So close but accepted truth fact is an oxymoron as nowhere in the bible is anything about the rapture.

'They've made conjecture and personal interpretation into accepted truth/fact.'
The whole Rapture nonsense is conjecture and personal interpretation. You talk of it as a fact. You're as bad as they are.
They've made conjecture and personal interpretation into accepted truth/fact.
As near as I can tell, that's what you people do all the time with the bible and reality.
"ANYTHING is possible. The Great Delusion must be something so easily believable because of HOW we're raptured. Again scripture says it's a great mystery and that's probably a good thing."
Someone handed me a pamphlet one time that said God was going to send down a giant golden pyramid to gather up his followers.
Apparently God is like an Egyptian Donald Trump.
"I think the End Times movies have done a great disservice."
Thanks for the tip, but I'm not really into comedies.
"Again scripture says it's a great mystery and that's probably a good thing."
Yeah? Where?
"They'll be easily deluded."
Speaking from personal experience are you?
"As for anything being left behind that's also conjecture. It's possible that in our "renewal" or "change" that those things just disappear or disintegrate."
Oh, sure. That's possible. It's also possible, and a damned sight more likely, that you're just full of shit.
"I think the End Times movies have done a great disservice. They've made conjecture and personal interpretation into accepted truth/fact."
Uh... isn't that what you're doing?
I love how this fool says, "..because of how we're raptured. Again scripture says it's a great mystery..."! Yeah it's a great mystery to most CHRISTIANS because the Scriptures don't even mention the Rapture. Why are you complaining about the "End Times" movies, they pretty much the basis(outside a crazy 19th century book) for your whole stupid fantasy?
"ANYTHING is possible. The Great Delusion must be something so easily believable because of HOW we're raptured. Again scripture says it's a great mystery and that's probably a good thing."
So if you think the rapture is complete confusion
Because your neighbors are fundie retards
Just remember that it's a Grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same.
We're all the same...
..You know what? Why don't you all just buy some land (maybe in the middle of no where, like some Caribbean island or the desert), get the heck out of our country, and form your own where you can stop using our resources to fuel your whining, stop meddling with our politics to form your own, sit down, shut up, and live how you want to? By invitation only; only those who believe they're one of the True Christians bathed in blood or whatever. Then you can bash each other over the head in peace, arguing over what scriptures are important and what to do with your piddling resources until your zombie carpenter arrives. Please, do this. Have fun.
"scripture says it's a great mystery"
No, scripture does not say that. So you are either ignorant or a liar.
Scripture also says nothing about a rapture.
Unbelievers aren't "seeking" your rapture, stupid, they don't believe it will happen. If they're looking for it, they obviously believe, & so will just end up being raptured with you. Geez.
"They've made conjecture & personal interpretation into accepted truth/fact."
That's been done by every single Christian in existance.
JSYN or DIAF -- pick one, and follow through, plz.
