I think most of us have good idea or as to whether we would be condemned or saved.
If you're saved then "yay!", you've got nothing to worry about - except for your pets, in which case the bunch of nice but damned atheists at Eternal Earth Bound Pets will help you out.
It's a pity animals don't get saved:
If you are going to pay someone to adopt your pet after the rapture here's what their gratitude might look like:
But back to us unrepentant sinners, if the world is ending then we're all dead. It's not like an earthquake where we squirrel away a weeks worth of food, water and toilet paper knowing that someone will come to our aid. ITS THE END OF THE WORLD, there's no point in surviving.
Even mental preparation is out. If you're not mentally prepared, you die and if you are, you still die.
Maybe I've got this thing all wrong, despite my catholic family and schooling, hell and damnation was almost never mentioned and I only bothered to read the "feel good" parts of the bible, so if someone out there wants to correct me on the finer points of the rapture by all means go a head.
Just don't tell me repent, because I'm pretty sure that lying to Jesus is a sin too.
Bah - isn't there a saying that goes like this: "I'd rather rule in Hell then serve in Heaven?" If this whole rapture thing was real I doubt there'd be many people going up if you ask me...and a lot going down...pun possibly intended there...Either way, I'm not going to change myself to suit some words in a book...plus I'm looking forward to killing me some zombies...
ReplyDeleteLife in the Tron is a little dull so I'm looking forward to the excitement of it all.
ReplyDeleteThere is a guy in Hamilton who believes there is a hole (or something) above Hamilton and Christchurch and it causes "bad stuff" (like earthquakes)and it exists because these areas are so sinful.
I guess Hamiltonians punishment is boredom.
so I should have sold all my possessions and lived it up cause i'm going to die anyway so why not go out with a bang.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely...If the world was ending - which it's not... a least any time soon.
ReplyDeleteBut then again end-of-the-world or not we will die so.......$40 for you Ipod?
DO NOT GO TO DAMNATION!
ReplyDeleteAs far as damnation is concerned, many people think that it is not true. They deem it only an invented story that does not need to be taken seriously. They think that it is better not to think about it at all, because they will nevertheless see what really happens when they die: so why take bother one’s head with this issue in which no certain conclusion can be reached? They also discuss with pleasure many spiritual issues that are not essential in the salvation of their sole (female priests, whether God can create a stone so large He Himself cannot carry, etc). They perhaps try to dismiss the discussion about what happens after this life by thinking about these trivial issues.
But is damnation true after all? Is there life after death? Jesus – who spoke much about Heaven by saying, for example: “In my Father’s house are many mansions” (John 14:2) – also often spoke about damnation. He mentioned both places in his speeches, so we should think about whether they are true. How can anyone be 100% sure that the next verses are not true? They indicate that our acts are significant and how we live our lives is nothing but trivial. If we live our life in impenitence, we will not inherit the kingdom of God.
