Great read! I highly recommend "How to Profit from the Coming Rapture"! Very pragmatic advice!
I'd love to hear more on your theory about the rapture... I'd also like to know how propaganda sellers would be able to predict/pre-empt a rapture, if no one knows when it could happen except for God Himself.
God does not guarantee you a life free of suffering and hardship
He'll whisk you away before the bad stuff happens.
There is no clear interpretation that says all Christians will be lifted up to heaven before some great tribulation occurs. Recently read a book on Revelations that states most of what is written already took place. Not sure I 100% agree with it as I think there is some prophecy in the book yet to be fulfilled, but majority made a lot of sense.
"You have to understand that Matthew 24, as well as much of the New Testament is written to and for the Jews.

Finally, the purpose of the Tribulation is to offer a second chance at Salvation to those who didn’t get Raptured.
1)mankind is given the Earth to be our sandbox. It is not safe, and our bodies are not durable. On our own power we eventually perish, or are slain by other people.
3)Whatever we command on this earth, under the power of His Authority, as long as it does not violate His will, can be granted if we have the requisite ability to believe. That faith as a mustard seed is the key. It’s the key to real awesome undeniable power.
they could undo the tribulation of men with their prayers.

Why don't any of you question the amazing coincidence that you happened to be born into the One True Religion?
Why do you never question this?

Because it's a lie. I wasn't born into shit except the sins of my fathers.
No one's walking up stairs on their knees anymore man, salvation is free. Jesus died for all, Hindu, Jew, Satanist, Catholic, Nazi, NeoCon, pattnetter, even richwicks. He died for you, and nothing you can say or do will ever change that.

Did you hear that from some 'rapture preacher' or can you refer me to a very clear Bible verse or passage in order to back up that claim?
It makes sense to me that a second chance is offered. Read up and see what you can find.

of eating from the Tree of Knowledge.
Before the rapture happens, buy puts on everything and give your atheist friend the brokerage account login info.
Revelation speaks to God's justice, His expectations of us, and the consequences of defying Him.
No, you weren't. How can you be responsible for the transgressions of your parents?
You couldn't stop it, you had nothing to do with it, but you think you are responsible for it. This is crazy.
IF there is a god, it's innate in all of us, all creatures, every living thing.
the history of the Pre-Trib rapture doctrine, which only came into existence in the 1850's,
Actually Jesus and Paul both taught the coming day in which living people would be caught up, taken away, or raptured in our current vernacular.
you will know that you have made your decision after a review of scripture and not the dogma handed down by whatever denomination you adhere to.
I am not sure I am going to heaven.

My theory on the rapture:

This thread is first of all an acknowledgement of future history. Namely, that Jesus promised in His word to return again to rescue the redeemed Christians (dead and living) from this world before the judgement/great tribulation period.
Second, this thread will be left behind as a witness to those who are not rescued before the rapture. One day millions of people will disappear from this earth. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, your spouse, children, bus driver, co-worker, or that person you thought was a Jesus freak will all be gone. And in that moment of fear, loss and confusion there will still be a voice of reason. That voice could be the sermon you heard but ignored. It could be the memory of a friend or family member who prayed and witnessed for you. It could be a Bible or a video of the gospel. But that voice will be there (and here hopefully) to remind you that everything God said has and will happen just as He said it would.
So if one day millions of people disappear all around the world, remember that God said it was going to happen and turn to Him with all your heart knowing that you were wrong and accept His gift of forgiveness. And then study the scriptures, ask Him to reveal to you what you could have known years ago if you had taken the opportunity to listen. And He will show you what to do.
Or better yet, if you are reading this before the rapture, congratulations there is still time to escape the wrath to come. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) 2 Corinthians 6:2
