So if I wait and refuse "the mark" i'm still golden right? It will be harder, but still possible to get past those pearly gates I assume...
Sweet, another year of decadence and sin! Thx JIA.
JIA, if you keep on simply ignoring posts and any attempt at discussion simply to regurgitate your beliefs onto threads in this forum, you are going to end up with a ban. You've already been warned. Now cut it out for good.

He's not really here to debate, I asked him a few questions based on his original post, you asked him a few questions based on his original post and he ignores them. Oh well.
What's funny, we asked very similar questions, I guess skeptics think alike.

JIA, you said it in the beginning, no Christian will believe this, and will point out to you:
NO MAN knows the hour of the rapture.
Don't let that statement be taken literally, so that you think you can predict the year or season. (or let this woman tell you that she's predicted it)
It means simply: Live your life for the Lord, do His will and try to save others, since you don't know how long you have here.
Or to an unbeliever: Accept me and live fullfilled, don't put it off since you don't know how long you have here.
Knowing the year and season would kinda defeat the purpose of faith, and go against the word of the Lord that people should accept him now, since they don't know when he'd come back.
And scripture says anything that goes against a bible teaching, but claims to be from God, is a false teaching.
Jesus not knowing the plans of the Father is also scripturally innacurate.
Jesus never talked about a secret rapture.........and since then there have been views of a pre, mid, and post rapture ( oh, and that would be the 2nd coming...post).............Mr. Paul strikes again!.......Yeah through in this little verse from 2nd Thess. I think along with other texts taken out of context................
edit.........also certain denominations said the secret rapture happened in 1844.
Why is the verse saying "one will be left and the other be left behind?"........maybe the ones left behind are the worthy ones......it never says does it.
