I don't care about collecting the bet. You see all this talk about Rapture and god are just a waist of time. If you really want to bring heaven to Earth, then you have to love everyone regardless of how they believe. If everyone loved, there would be no room for hate.
I think that goes for everyone, not just JIA..even though its especially for him

That was a rhetorical question...I know it isn't in the bible. It is based off of a vision of a 15 year old girl in england a while back.
But you are mistaken because the concept of the Rapture is in the Bible.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Where does that say that in the Bible?If God/heaven reside in the sky/clouds...why can we fly through it..and why did the Church change their interpretaiton of the word "heaven?"
(Third) Heaven (where God resides) is not in the sky/clouds; it is not located on earth. Heaven is perhaps situated on top of the universe (in the sides of the North).
