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.
