I personally, am not a Rapture theology believer. As Leonard Ravenhill once said ~ "Today’s church wants to be raptured from responsibility."
I like that quote! I agree with it. As for the movie, I have seen it. It focused too much on the characters themselves than any real biblical content. Its like the "rapture" was the subplot when it was supposed to be the plot. It revolved more around the father daughter relationship and getting the plane on the ground then it did the rapture.

I think the only responsibility we have is dieing to self.
He is the Alpha and Omega.
As for the rapture - if we are not looking for it then for sure aren't going to see it.

Chris does not need to purge His bride. She has already been justified sanctified and sealed.

Paul says that Christ and His bride will judge so there will be those who judge and those who will be judged...

Learn the parable of the 10 virgins...
For they were all virgins...

I thought It would be good for a none believer . They do not know what will happen , do they ?

I know one thing before I became saved ["I was going to a church that did not tell us to use a bible! "] I was calling it the rapture and no were In the bible does it say Rapture.

So I would think any thing that is true and pertains to Christian life would be help full !

People forget........Hollywood is the devils playground. What does it profit the adversary to put out a movie for christians?

John 8
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.



People need to remember this when viewing or listening to anything coming from the world. The world is not our friend, so when they offer you a ripe juicy apple, you can almost guarantee there is something in it to make you sick.

God movies made by people who don't believe in God.

You do not think that would give a non believer doubt ? Maybe they would ask questions ?
Or try to listen to other Christian people talking ? About GOD , and the bible ?

yes, it is surely even likely that good is made to come of it anyway, as whatever is hidden always comes to light, right

The rapture is a religious fantasy and will never happen in reality.
The Left behind series is a work of RELIGIOUS FICTION. It seems many are fooled by it.

I'm sure many people do. I still get questions about The Ten Commandments and Passion of Christ. I suppose you're right, the movie does provide an opportunity to witness.

Good post Grams.

Good post Grams.
All the theologians, scripture scholars, bishops, saints and reformers were incapable of interpreting God's word....until....
...John Nelson Darby came along. He broke off from the Plymouth Brethren over theological disputes. Founder of the Exclusive Brethren sect, Darby invented pre-tribulation rapture theology in 1830 that was totally foreign to all of Christianity.

His theory was further popularized in the United States in the early 20th century by the wide circulation of the Scofield Reference Bible. The footnotes were made doctrine by American dispensationists.

...fast forward to 1970...

The biggest-selling work of non-fiction (other than the Bible) since 1970 is dispensationalist Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth (Bantam, 1970), which sold more than 40 million copies and established the blueprint for a number of other popular, self-described “Bible prophecy” experts (including Tim LaHaye, creator and coauthor of the Left Behind series)

LaHaye’s first work of “Bible prophecy” was The Beginning of the End (Tyndale, 1972), essentially a carbon copy of Lindsey’s mega-seller. In the years that followed, Lindsey and LaHaye, along with authors such as Salem Kirban, David Wilkinson, Dave Hunt, Grant Jeffrey, John Walvoord, and others, produced a string of best-selling books warning of the rapidly approaching pretribulation Rapture, the Antichrist, and the tribulation.

One message of LaHaye’s that comes across clearly in books such as Are We Living in the End Times?, Rapture Under Attack, and Revelation Unveiled is that the Catholic Church is apostate, Catholicism is “Babylonian mysticism” and an “idolatrous religion,” and Catholics worship Mary, knowing little about the real Jesus Christ. It’s difficult to overstate the dislike — even hatred — LaHaye has for the Catholic Church or to exaggerate the ridiculous character of his attacks. He condemns the use of candles in Catholic churches, insists there’s hardly any difference between Hinduism and Catholicism, and emphatically declares that the Catholic Church killed at least 40 million people during the “dark ages.”

When I asked LaHaye, via e-mail, why he never refers to Catholic sources or official documents in his writings, he replied:

Because I think that for centuries the Catholic Church has presented church history in a manner protective of “Mother church.” . . . I have seen more concern on the part of your church for Hindus, Buddhists, and other pagan religions than they do [sic] for those who love Jesus Christ as He is presented in the Bible and are committed to making Him known to the lost so they will not be Left Behind.

In other words, the Catholic Church is simply wrong and doesn’t deserve a fair hearing. LaHaye has not only revealed himself to be an anti-Catholic polemicist but a theologian with a seriously skewed view of God’s salvific work. In a newspaper interview, LaHaye said, “We’ve [himself and Jenkins] created a series of books about the greatest cosmic event that will happen in the history of the world.” What is that “greatest cosmic event”? The Incarnation? The Cross? The Resurrection? No, the Rapture — a modern, man-made belief based on a distorted Christology and an anemic ecclesiology.

Library : Five Myths About the Rapture

It's ironic; all this talk about "end time persecution" and/or "great tribulation" while guys like Lahaye inflict it on Catholics.

Romanists really fear the Evangelical Dispensationalists.

(Acts 5:38-39) "And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God."

Just like the Reformantion, you could not overthrow it. So, the Evangelical Dispensationalism, you cannot overthrow. So, who are you fighting?

@kepha31 The false teachings of futurism you could take back a little further than Darby and Schofield. The Jesuit Fransisco Ribera and Cardinal Bellarmine taught the same...Darby just added the rapture for effect.

As dumb as this movie is and how much it misrepresents the truth, nothing can compare to the latest Noah movie, don’t these idiots at Hollywood ever do any research before they make a movie? How many people does the Lord word say were on the Ark? So how did the extra guy in the movie slip past the Lord and get on board? and an evil individual at that.
