“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

this source from the Bible comprehensively tells us that Jesus isn't god and can not know when the Rapture will take place

[tatty000]

Jesus, being a in human form on His position on earth during that time, expressed Himself as such, by setting an example of being the son of man. His divine nature, however, is God, and therefore is almost a separate entity to the flesh.

so therefore God has no Son

You lack understanding of the trinity...

I posted an exhausting study of such before the site blacked out. The site looks to had rolled back a day or so. :shrug:

[tatty000]

Well that's helpful...

A long time ago in a galaxy, far, far away, yet somehow in the future!

Eh, not exactly. It's that confusing business with the Trinity. Let us look at what "The Son" and "The Father" mean.

When Jesus references the Son, he means himself, the manifestation of God on Earth. While he is connected to God while here, it is important not to confuse Jesus of Nazareth with God Himself. Jesus of Nazareth was God put into human form, accepting Human limitations. One of these limitations is a linear view of time, something God is not bound to but Jesus would be. Jesus did not know the future beyond what God(The Father) told Him, such as in the Garden of Gethsemane where he said ""My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." You see, Jesus honestly did not know what the future held. He knew that the over-all plan he had been given was that he would die and rise again, but as a human being he had to accept much of what he was told on faith, rather than by inherent knowledge. Is to die and rise again to be taken literally? The same questions we struggle with today, Jesus struggled with at that time. That is what makes his faith and sacrifice so truly remarkable, so truly special. He accepted God wholly into his life and trusted that things would work out not for his benefit, but for the greater good. He practiced what he preached, laying down his life for the lives of his friends, for the lives of all humanity in his eyes. Whether you find him the Son of God or not, you must admit that the sheer commitment and love inherent to that act is admirable. If nothing else, he was a remarkable man.

lol good one Tag.

Eg = example?

For example, minus having the reputation of using magic tricks to fool the public, Tag here is a remarkable person. You should hit him up. He actually has a remarkable story, a true story about himself. All he is missing is a good personal scribe to write down all his wisdom without getting ganked from the Fangster. :icon_lol:
