A Religion and Politics Reality Check

The Rapture

Is The Rapture Story True?

or  Is it just a Religious Fairytale

Peddled Because It's a Very Lucrative Cash Cow?

o.f.t.      ...

 

 

 

 

What Is the Rapture? 

"The Rapture" is a fundamentalist Christian belief that the world is about to end any day now,  and when it does, all born-again (saved) Christians (but nobody else) will be ushered directly into heaven above the clouds  to be with Jesus and the superhuman being called God.   

Is the Rapture Real?   Perhaps, but ...   

The Evidence Says No!   The evidence points to the conclusion that it's actually nothing more than a heavily distorted interpretation of several significantly separated Christian Bible passages.  

The Source of The Rapture:   The evidence also tells us that The Rapture is a con-artist-created, un-provable, mind-bending, religious fairytale created by Cyrus_T._Scofield in the 1880s in order to increase donations to his ministry.   Because it's one of fundamentalist Christianity's three most profitable fairytales, it is heavily promoted today. 
Reference:  Three Fundamentalist Christian Cash Cows     

 

 

What Are the Beliefs:   According to the fundamentalist, Christian religious leaders, any day now, the world, as we know it, is going to end in a major disaster, and when that day arrives, God will lift all the born-again Christians (and only the born-again Christians) directly up into heaven.   Graves will open, the dead will be alive again, and all true believers will ascend into heaven to be with Jesus.   Everybody else will be left in the garbage dump that humans have made of planet Earth.  

The Ignored:   Because it's also a huge, money-making, belief-altering drug, some religious leaders are using it to pump their egos and to rake in large amounts of money.   What those leaders fail to mention to their followers is that the story about the return of Jesus and the immanent-end-of-the-world has been around for about nineteen hundred years.  

Disaster is the Precursor to The Rapture:   The common belief is that The rapture will only come when the Earth's human population is in confusion, chaos and in the middle of a global-level, physical disaster.  

 

 

 

 

 

What's Bad Is Good  

In the minds of the people who truly believer in "The Rapture,"  war, chaos, misery, environmental destruction, even an Japan's nuclear meltdown are all good things because the worse things get, the closer they (the true believers) are to being in heaven with Jesus.   

They consider that taking any action to stop the wars, and the environmental destruction is interfering with God's plan, so they either standby and allow the problems to get worse or they join, endorse and/or support the people who engage in problem-creating behavior.   They justify their attitude and their behavior by saying that since the world is about to end, environmental destruction, pollution, wars and the like are good things.  

They hold attitudes such as:  "Disasters are all part of God's plan to get us into heaven.   The greater the destruction, the sooner we get to heaven."    

They ignore things like Global climate change and pollution because when The Rapture arrives, they'll ascent into heaven.   The Earth will have served its only purpose (to get Christians into heaven).  The Earth can then simply be discarded with the same indifference with which one uses and then discards toilet paper.

Are you aware of how perfectly the behavior of former "Resident" Bush fits the pattern of a Rapture believer?  If he was not a rapture believer, he gave a good imitation of somebody who was.   He never publically mentioned being a rapture believer , but he openly said that he was a self-proclaimed "born-gain, conservative Christian."  

Part of being a "born-gain, conservative Christian is believing in The Rapture.   "If he was a rapture believer, he was not fit to be President of the United States.   If he wasn't, his "born-again" claims were a fraud.  

It would certainly seem appropriate to ask all future political candidates  if they are Rapture Believers.

Notes and References

Cyrus T. Scofield    

Cyrus T. Scofield was a charlatan who faked his degrees so he could claim to be a lawyer, a doctor, and a minister.   He was a convicted felon, thief, con artist, perjurer, racist, extortionist, blackmailer, embezzler, and fornicator who abandoned his wife and two daughters.    He was also a rather clever con artist and is responsible for converting several widely separated Biblical passages into the phenomenal, money-maker that is presently known as "The Rapture.  

   

Three Fundamentalist Christian Cash Cows

A Cash Cow is something that brings in a lot of money with very little effort.   Fundamentalist Christianity's three most profitable Cash Cows are:  

The Rapture:

http://www.ChurchState.info/cs-the-rapture.html#gr

The Rapture is a con-artist-created,  un-provable, mind-bending, religious fairytale  created by Cyrus T. Scofield in the 1880s in order to increase donations to his ministry.   Because it turned out to be a fantastic money-maker, it has been expanded updated, and amplified, and today, it's one if the fundamentalist, religion peddlers most profitable cash cows.  

Forced Motherhood:

http://www.pro-truth.net#gr -- 

The ABCs of Forced Motherhood   This site tells us what the forced motherhood peddlers don't what you to know. 

The truth is to the anti-abortion leaders as kryptonite is to Superman.   

http://www.choice101.com#gr  --

Reproductive Rights Are Dying.  To run a pro-choice campaign on a defensive strategy only is a sure way to lose.  The Pro-Choice women are losing big time and fast.  

http://www.Abortion-Counseling.info#68  

The evidence clearly tells us that forced motherhood (anti-abortion versus abortion rights) is a religious freedom issue, but that doesn't seem to matter to those who are raking in millions of dollars by promoting it.   Here's why Abortion is a Religious freedom issue:

Because:
    We don’t know  What Life Is,
       We don’t know   What a Human Being Actually Is,
           We don’t know  When an Independent Human Life Begins,
               And we have no way to find out.

God Murdering His Son as an Act of Love:  

http://www.Devil-Devil.info/ch-149-new-vision.html#66   

Did you ever wonder why the God of Christianity will forgive the most most vial and heinous crimes but He's still punishing all humanity by creating humans inherently evil simply because Eve ate an apple form the forbidden tree?  

And then this so-called god corrects his lack of forgiveness by murdered his own child and then he calls his capital crime an act of forgiveness and an expression of love.  

When under analysis, this story shows itself is about as believable as Santa Clause and flying reindeer.  It has been around for so long and is accepted by so many otherwise-intelligent people that it's commonly and without question, accepted as fact.

Join u as we give these antiquated fairytales a reality check.
