Can someone tell me a couple quotes from the Bible for..?

Question

.. me to weave into a tale that induces bothe fear and inflates the ego at the same time?

I've been reading up on the Rapture thing and how as a school of thought and following it appears i America in the 1800's. Now there are all these books and movies. Someone is making millions. I want to get in on the action too by finding some disjointed and vague passages that I can supplement with an external logic and make money from too.

Answer 1

I don't know but you are stealing my idea.

I keep wanting to make a graphic version of Abraham prostituting his wife to the Egyptians and then how his son Isaac did the same with Rebekah.

Christians loved that porn movie "Passion of Christ" so they should really turn out to see the "Passion of Sarah & her Daughter in Law, Rebekah."

I'm working on the title.

Answer 2

Actually, the Bible does not use the term Rapture anyplace in it. We know that Jesus is in power in Heaven by the signs found in the book of Matthew, but as for Rapture, it is not to be found anyplace in the Bible no matter what translation you might use.

The same for the Da Vinci code. People dreamt it up to make money. Jesus died and was resurrected to earth and about 53 days later, He ascended to Heaven. He never married anybody. He never had children. He never moved to where France is. He never appeared in the United States. All those things are a story. We need to read the Bible and not think that the things people write to make money with are real.

To find out how to make money with it, talk to Ron Howard the director, who was on Happy Days and the Andy Griffith Show. He knows how to make money with it.

Answer 3

Yeah some random girl had a 'vision' in Scotland in 1830 where the saints were taken off the earth. It became popular and is now the rapture doctrine. Funny thing is- the Bible doesn't support it at all.
Of course there is the scripture that says one will be in the field and the other will be taken...but taken could mean anything!! Kidnapped, killed, taken in adultery...etc.

Answer 4

"Could you be wrong in your claims about Judgment Day and the existence of hell?"

The existence of hell and the surety of the judgment are not the claims of fallible man. The Bible is the source of the claim, and it is utterly infallible. When someone becomes a Christian, he is admitting that he was in the wrong, and that God is justified in His declarations that we have sinned against Him.

However, let’s surmise for a moment that there is no Judgment Day and no hell. That would mean that the Bible is a huge hoax, in which more than forty authors collaborated (over a period of 3,000 years) to produce a document revealing God’s character as "just." They portrayed Him as a just judge, who warned that He would eventually punish murderers, rapists, liars, thieves, adulterers, etc. Each of those writers (who professed to be godly) therefore bore false witness, transgressing the very commandments they claimed to be true.

It would mean that Jesus Christ was a liar, and that all the claims He made about the reality of judgment were there-fore false. It would also mean that He gave His life in vain, as did multitudes of martyrs who have given their lives for the cause of Christ. Add to that the thought that if there is no ultimate justice, it means that the Creator of all things is unjust—that He sees murder and rape and couldn’t care less, making Him worse than a corrupt human judge who refuses to bring criminals to justice.

Here’s the good news, though, if there is no hell: You won’t know a thing after you die. It will be the end. No heaven, no hell. Just nothing. You won’t even realize that it’s good news.

Here’s the bad news if the Bible is right and that there is eternal justice: You will find yourself standing before the judgment throne of a holy God, who has seen every sin you have ever committed. Think of it. A holy and perfect Creator has seen your thought-life and every secret sin you have ever committed. You have a multitude of sins, and God must by nature carry out justice. Ask Him to remind you of the sins of your youth. Ask Him to bring to remembrance your secret sexual sins, the lies, the gossip, and other idle words. You may have forgotten your past sins, but God hasn’t. Hell will be your just desert (exactly what you deserve), and you will have no one to blame but yourself. This is the claim of the Bible. If you don’t believe it, it is still true. It will still happen.

Yet, there is good news—incredibly good news. We deserve judgment, but God offers us mercy through the cross. He paid our fine so that we could leave the courtroom. He destroyed the power of the grave for all who obey Him. Simply obey the gospel, and live. By doing that you will find out for yourself that the gospel is indeed the "gospel truth." Jesus said that if you obey Him, you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free (see John 8:31,32).

Get on your knees today, confess and forsake your sins. Tell God you are truly sorry, then trust the Savior as you would trust yourself to a parachute. Then you will find yourself in a terrible dilemma. You will know for certain that hell is a reality. When you get up the courage to warn people you care about, they will smile passively, and say, "Could you be wrong in your claims about Judgment Day and the existence of hell?"
