are you waiting on the rapture?

Nope, I am not a superstitious clown. Jesus is a fairytale character, so what was written about him in the fairytale should not be taken literally cuz that is just buttsht crazy, making fairytale characters real is a mental sickness.

Nope. Why would I base any of my faith on a manmade tradition that never existed until a couple of hundred years ago, and has never been taught by the Church Jesus Christ founded, to which He promised the fullness of God's truth? If Jesus wanted us to believe in a "rapture", seems like He might have mentioned it? But of course He never heard of it either.

You will be waiting a very long time.

No such thing as the rapture. 

The belief that faithful Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth, suddenly taken out of the world, to be united with the Lord “in the air.” The word “rapture” is understood by some persons, but not by all, to be the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 4:17. 

The word “rapture” does not occur in the inspired Scriptures. 

If all faithful Christians will be bodily caught up from the earth, suddenly taken out of the world, how would you explain this scripture? 

Psalms 37:29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. 

 when you die, all good people go to heaven, then if that is so, where do the righteous that live on earth forever come from if all righteous are in heaven. 

Think again, if you are able, pard.  John the Beloved (and possibly others) were translated so as not to see death.  Jesus' generation has not yet passed.  One can believe what Jesus Christ says without being crazy. 

No, I am not waiting for the rapture.  That is unbiblical.  I am waiting for Christ's public return.

First, the Bible doesn't actually teach the "Rapture."  I believe that's a theological mistake.  The Second Coming will be at the end of time.  Maybe you are just referring to the Second Coming.

Second, you misquoted the Bible.  Mark 9:1, "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God when it has come with power."  Many people believe that was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2.  You seem to be mixing that verse with Mark 13:26 (which doesn't give a timeframe).

And third, we don’t see in Jesus the abnormalities and imbalances and irrational behavior that go along with that diagnosis ("just another crazy person").  As Peter Kreeft said, “There are lunatics in asylums who sincerely believe they are God. The ‘divinity complex’ is a recognized form of psychopathology. Its character traits are well known: egotism, narcissism, inflexibility, dullness, predictability, inability to understand and love others as they really are and creatively relate to others. In other words, this is the polar opposite of the personality of Jesus!” (Handbook of Christian Apologetics).

No.  There is no rapture spoken of in the Bible, by Jesus or anyone else.

No, the rapture is a theological error that is not going to happen.

"Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God" (I Corinthians 15:51).

"To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD" (II Corinthians 5:8).

"...Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God come with (((POWER"))) (Mark 9:1).

Didn't (((POWER))) come (Acts 1:8) after Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5) on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:2-4)?

If you read and believe WHAT IS WRITTEN, you would know "The Kingdom of God" came on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:2-4)

"For the Kingdom of God is not in word but in (((POWER"))) (I Corinthians 4:20)

 Who came (Acts 1:8) after Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5) on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:2-4).

"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy (((in the Holy Ghost.”))) (Romans 14:17) 

"For we have all been baptized (((IN))) to ONE SPIRIT" (I Corinthians 12:13).

"For as I conceive in mine understanding, woe unto them that shall be left in those days and much more woe unto them that are not left behind!” (II Esdras 3:16).

"...much more woe unto them that are NOT left behind?"

WHAT?

Who wants to be "raptured" when "your spirit returns to God who gave it" (Ecclesiastes 12:7) and you haven't been "born again of the spirit" (John 3:5-7) by His (((POWER))) that comes upon us" (Acts 1:8) after Holy Spirit baptism (Acts 1:5)

Who "QUICKENS" us (I Corinthians 15:45) "back to life" (Ephesians 2:1) from our "DEAD spirits" (Romans 5:12-14; I Corinthians 15:21-22) as we are "born again of the spirit" (John 3:5-7)

KNOWING that 

"We all must stand before the judgment seat of Christ" (II Corinthians 5:10) and if our 

"...name is not found in the Book of Life" (Revelation 20:15), we're on our way to the Lake of Fire?

You can FORGET catholics who believe "they have the authority to deem what is relevant to go into Scriptures" who didn't 'canonize' Esdras 3 and 4 when "God reveals by His Spirit" (I Corinthians 2:10).

"There have been four books associated with the prophet Ezra (also spelled Esdras). In some circles these became known as 1, 2, 3, and 4 Esdras. In other circles, the first two of these (1 and 2 Esdras) became known as Ezra and Nehemiah, while the second two (3 and 4 Esdras) became known as 1 and 2 Esdras." [Catholic Answers]

Not a chance. 

Until recently, “christians” had Jesus meeting his followers

at the gates of Heaven. Now, these same zealots have him

running a retrieval service called a ‘rapture’. No surprise there.

Christians are not naïve. They ‘intentionally’ refuse

to accept the fact that “My kingdom is not of this world”

and, “A little longer and the world will behold me no more”

actually mean something that they should, by now, fully understand.

They are ignorant.  They are filled with wanting.  They lust for more.

They *are* sinners.

I don't know what you're talking about friend Jesus isn't talking about the rapture there.  Jesus was simply telling the apostles and some of the deep disciples that a lot of them would still be alive to witness his resurrection to watch him go on up into the clouds and become Earth's exalted King and savior..

Some person that had no idea how to translate the Greek language correctly wrote what you have written down.

I'm a professor of theology I understand the real meaning of the Greek language and the words. So I'm telling you what the scripture actually means it doesn't refer to judgment day and people miraculously being alive for 5,000 years until judgment day comes that would be totally ridiculous!  

It's simply means what I said
