Think about it, when the time comes, the bible says that christians will disapear into heaven. Will Jesus send UFOs from other planets to beam up christians? Don't think I am joking. I am serious about this question.

Gospel According to Saint Matthew
Chapter 6
33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
The origins of the doctrine of the rapture are hotly debated. The Orthodox, mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic churches (which represent the majority of Christians worldwide) have no tradition of such a teaching and reject the doctrine, in part because they cannot find any reference to it among any of the early Church fathers and in part because they do not interpret the scriptures the way that Rapture-believers do.

The rapture is not supported by the Bible. The logic behind it is similar to the one time religious view that the Earth was the center of the Universe and all things revolve around it.

Clearly you never read 1 Corinthians 15:50 FLESH AND BLOOD CAN NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD????
If flesh and blood can't get there & your UFO idea would be accurate where would the body be KILLED???? Here? On the UFO? Or would you just be tossed out the window?
Now let's talk reality.
The idea of a rapture didn't exist until 1830. It was the idea of a mentally ill woman named Margret MacDonald! Two preachers heard this and took it as their doctrine! IN SHORT IT IS MADE UP JUST AS THIS GOD IS!!!

Very possibly could be part of the Satan's deception.
The rapture is a fallacy taught by man and can easily be documented by God's Word that it is a lie.
The sixth trump could sound any day now.
The true Christ returns at the seventh trump.

No. Jesus will have need of no other force or by any other means. His Word has the power to fulfill itself by His Own Power, as The Son of God, The Word, and the Second of the Trinity. PEACE!!!

I can see immediately by your avatar that you are indeed serious about this question. UFOs will only be used if gas prices have stabilized, weather permitting, of course.

Yes, the nearest galaxy is 40 million light years away, so it may take some time.
