Question about the Rapture.

[Mycroft]

The scenario:

You are a christian when the rapture happens. Your family, however, are atheists. You know you're going to heaven.

But what about your family? what happens to them?

After entering into heaven this whole universe turns into a big FAMILY.

You're a christian. Your mother/father/sister/whatever, your biological kin, are atheists.

the rapture happens and you're zapped up into Heaven (unluckily for you).

What happens to your biological atheist family?

What happens to your biological atheist family?

They stay in this athiest hell-hole of a planet dropping bombs on each other 24/7 for ever more.

BTW - there is no rapture. Christians are going to have to endure the 7 Year Tribulation along with everyone else. This way, the atheist family members will have guidance back to Heaven for free.

Actually, such rapture happens only with the people who take the whole universe as family. Such rapture isn't possible before that.

So god has no concern for family and loved ones?

How does the raptured party thing about having to leave their loved ones behind to exist in hell on earth?

Yahushua cares for everyone who repents and ask for His forgiveness for their sins.

1) Naive and ignorant people have no concern at being saved.
2) ? Please explain. No one is leaving this world unless they are true Christians and die.
3) Lol. Do a Google search for famous quotes from famous atheists that they spoke just before they died. Charles Darwin and Josef Stalin is in the list. They all found out that Heaven and Hell exist when it was too late.

let me tell you how i recognize it as on topic answer.
you cant suffer in heaven. if you are suffering it would be against the definition of heaven. if being away from your family is your suffering it just cant happen.
when you are included in a system that encompasses all without any elements of suffering or misery, you are in heaven. when you are in heaven you are automatically with that part of your family that is also in the same system. just your 'atheist' family is unaware of this but you are.

What is the opposite heaven?

The "rapture" probably is a misinterpretation of what Revelations actually was trying to communicate. It was written to mainly deal with the persecution under the Romans whereas the main message is to not lose the faith because Jesus will return, thus giving you the victory. IOW, Revelations was dealing with the here-and-now back then for "the Way" living under heavy Roman persecution.

They get to be on HBO for a single season of a crap show because no rapture is ever going to happen in real life.

Yahushua cares for everyone who repents and ask for His forgiveness for their sins.

So he doesn't care about anyone who doesn't repent?

1) Naive and ignorant people have no concern at being saved.

How is It fair that ignorance and naiveté are punished with hell? Simply not knowing something doesn't sound like a reason for eternal torment to me.

They stay in this athiest hell-hole of a planet dropping bombs on each other 24/7 for ever more.

Actually, I would be okay with this. Considering that I think secular morality is superior to that of the Christian bible and statistically, countries with less religion have lower crime rate. I don't think we would be bombing the hell out of each other.

Charles Darwin was not an atheist.

He cares for those who want to be with Him for eternity.

Everyone has a choice. This seems to be a choice that billions of people turn a blind eye too.

Everyone is born with the sin chromosome active. This is how everyone is born a sinner and out of the Book of Life.

Yahushua will make sure that every sinner is shown the truth before they die in some way or another.

Superiority is what angers YHWH. The anti-christ considers himself between mortals (number 5) and YHWH (number 7) and we all know what happens to him and the elite on Judgment Day.

One thing that is sure, according to the Islamic belief is that - there will be no grief in Paradise. May be your memory of the atheist family members in Hell will be wiped off or something - don't know exactly how - only God knows.

But you might want to read these conversations between the people of paradise and hell as stated in the Qur'an. It is quite eye opening. It has 3 parts.

Peace.
