The bible says "No may shall know the day". It doesn't say "No man shall keep guessing until he gets it right"

thats how nostradamus got all those things "right" he made a guess everyday in vague enough language that most of his predictions could be attributed to almost any eventJohnnyallstar said:

Even if we use the tripartite theory of knowledge(Which isn't that perfect but sufficient here) you've got it wrong,
It must be believed, which it is
It must be true, which it can be
It must be justified, which it never is, especially when you consider these statements at the start of the OP
Thus, one can never know the date of the Rapture, the bible makes it absolutely impossible to know.
I think I just invalidated the thread's point entirely, since knowing is the necessity to it not happening, I have (I think) conclusively proven it cannot be known, thus it can't be prevented with this weird ontology.

I figure you could manipulate anything to say anything you really want it to, especially with the bible. They seemed to do it with abortion and many other things even. I never cared for religion, but after reading all the contradictions of how the world was created, I don't care for anything predicted or said in the bible...
Rapture will happen when the last believer of god dies.
then nobody else will even know (or care) that it happened
that's my theory

My theory is that the rapture happened a long time ago and we are all currently living in hell. Although that's more of a "wouldn't it be funny if" kinda thought/theory, since i actually believe it is all shenanigans, and there is no god, nor heaven, nor evil demons under the earth and all that. Shenanigans. It's like a global prank, they should make this the new "April fools day" or something - "fake rapture religious people scaring day" But with a better name.
Ok, so lemme get all this straight.J03bot said:
No-one, neither prophet nor man nor angel, knows the day or hour of judgment/rapture. No matter who says what, no-one knows exactly what will happen on that day or how we will all "die" (for lack of a better term of it all). All that's said is that the "Son of man cometh". Since only God knows when this will happen, we can assume he's not going to come down to us (himself) but we will be going to him.
Therefore, isn't it safe to say that the POSSIBILITY that the day of judgment/rapture isn't going to be a time when Jesus Christ comes down from the heavens, descending upon a ray of light to greet the human populace and welcome them to the supposed utopia... but it might just be when a gigantic meteor vaporises the planet upon impact or if the sun goes supernova prematurely or even just where humanity throws all it's nukes at each other and kills off all life on the planet... Could they not be concidered a mass judgment day/rapture?
We don't know exactly when it will happen till it's too late, and when word does get out, it'll have enough time to spread so all of man will know about it as it happens.
