IVE ASKED GOD TO SHOW ME WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR PETS DURING THE RAPTURE, IF THERE IS A PRE-TRIB RAPTURE. THEN I READ A LINE IN THE BIBLE SAYING THAT IF ANYONE SHOULD TURN TO GET HIS COAT OR THINGS HE WOULD LOSE HIS LIFE.. BUT DOES THAT ANSWER MY QUESTION?

Depends if you view a pet as a posession or a friend, I guess. But since nobody gets their friends into heaven just by wanting them to be there, I guess that doesn't cut the mustard either. Sorry pal, fluffles is going to burn!
If the rapture is as chaotic as I hear it will be (explosions, fires, buildings falling down), then I will roast your animals and eat them; I'm sure all other sources of food will be difficult to come by. A meal is a meal.
It doesn't seem fair for these pets to have had to put up with her in life and then either burn in the fiery torment that will be Earth or have to put up with her again in the afterlife.
OBVIOUSLY NOT. To begin with, The Bible doesn´t mention the rapture at all, it is a theory invented in the 19th century. AND, when the world finishes, who cares about animals or belongings?. It´s the level of stupidity and egocentrism which surprises me.
Yes, your God wants to rend you from your best friends forever, but don't worry, God promises that in heaven you'll be so deluded that you won't mind.
Yes, it does answer your question. I remember asking this when I was a stupid, naive little Catholic boy, too. Sorry, but God doesn't love your kitty enough to let you keep her.
When I was about thirteen and a hardcore Cathlic, I was talking with my priest about whether or not I'll see my Uncle who commited suicide but I loved very much in heaven. He told me no, he'd be in hell for committing the Ultimate Sin. I said, but I won't be happy in heaven if I don't get to see him. My priest said that in heaven you won't recognize your friends and family anyway. You won't even remember them. So pretty much God wipes your memory of any and all earthly personal attachments, making you ignorant to everything. That scared the hell out of me. I hated my priest for telling me that. That was the start of the dissolvement of my faith, I think.
Curiously, though your theology doesn't allow puppies and kittens in heaven, child-molesting priests and serial killers can be admitted. Still feeling good about Christianity, loveshine?

Unless you are male, Jewish, and still a virgin, I wouldn't sweat it. You won't be "raptured off". At least according to Revelation.
Tell you what. If you get sucked up into heaven I'll take in some of your cute little furballs, as well other animal-loving atheists, and then we'll live in harmony cuddling all your doggies and kitties. Won't that be abitch?

You were reminded of it after reading the posts of dozens of fundies who have already had their slates wiped clean and plastered with bible pages. Their logic, common sense, reasoning, curiosity, sanity and credibility has already been 'erased'.
There was a brief story arc in the Dork Tower comics that covered something like this.
Sorry, but I've heard more cogently argued thoughts from my friend's pet tarantula.
At least, it wasn't HOLLERING...
Maybe he'll send a celestial Noah's Ark to bring all the pets to heaven?
Or more likely, the pets will be happier than ever to be rid of you and will throw a massive street party.
Neither scenario strikes me as being any less implausible than your fucking stupid rapture, anyway.

...oh, and if my sister's own male moggy should be (C)Raptured whilst he's getting some from the neighbour's sexy Siamese, that would be a cat astrophe! And for such to happen before both came, they certainly wouldn't be feline fine; surely there's grounds to sue God for him doing that before they'd both gotten off - a claws in a contract somewhere?
...I'll get my coat.

But fear not, if you don't get an answer - for there's a group of people - Atheists no less - who will look after your pets that are Left Behind:

And all for just the one-time price of £69.99. For such peace of mind, you can't afford to ignore this (literally) a once in a lifetime offer!
(It's known that at least 1 million Americans have themselves, or by others [usually as a gag gift] paid for insurance against abduction by aliens. PT Barnum was right when he said 'There's a sucker born every minute'.)
Has your cat ever accepted Christ as its personal savior!
If you answered no, then your cat is bound for the fires of hell
