Oh, come on, that has to be a troll. Which one of you was it?

Nope, Buzzard. Longtime poster, perfectly serious replies.
Need new irony meter.

Irony. You're doing it well.
You need to look up the definition of "imminent."

If you don't accept that The second coming actually occurred in the First Century AD before all Jesus's hearers had died, then you are calling Jesus a liar.

2000 years is imminent? I'd hate to see if Jesus took his sweet old time.

"Even the first Christians were waiting..."
That should tell you something, eh?

The rapture has been imminent for 2000 years, It will continue to be imminent for the next billion.

It happened in 48AD. We've all been left behind.

//The rapture is imminent, even the first Christians were waiting expectantly for it.//
... two thousand years ago, which makes one third of the total lifetime of Creation itself according to my retarded beliefs.

Still imminent. The Babble is ever unchanging. Imminent forever and ever, amen. It's a miracle, I tells ya.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

haha. I hope we get more quotes like this one. Stuff that doesn't get me steamed up. Can't ever tell with the zealots though, they might pull some Top 100 worthy bullshit in the near future.

You...really may want to learn the definition of "imminent", because 2,000 years is certainly not that.

Erm, yeah, they did, and it hasn't happened yet. It could be another 2000 years before it happens, ya know, if it ever happens, that is...

'Apparently, the Rapture is
imminent*.'
-Stephen Fry, "
QI"
Yes, ladies and germs of FSTDT, Ruptured Retards has had the piss ripped out of it in front of millions of British TV viewers! >:D
*- And the intellectual giant that is Stephen Fry would recommend you invest in a good dictionary; say, the two-volume Concise Oxford English Dictionary, and look up the word 'Imminent' & it's definition (emphasis added):
http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/imminent?q=Imminent
imminent (im¦mi|nent) Pronunciation: /'?m?n?nt/
Definition of imminent
adjective
1
about to happen
And in the above YouTube clip from that particular edition of "QI", the blessed Mr. Fry goes into detail about the Millerites, and how they'd waited (and no doubt those way before then), for what would ultimately be known as '
The Great Disappointment'.
So what about those who - immediately after said Great Disappointment - split away from the now completely fucked Millerite Movement, and formed separate fringe sects/religions: the Seventh-Day Adventists, right up to the Jehovah's Witlesses. And those who waited right up to the moment they carked it on their deathbeds, eh Ruptured Retards? You. Tell. Me.
Question: how many - way before the formation of RR - had done the same:
waited, and experienced their own Great Disappointment, without their J-man blowing his horn, going down and sucking them off? I'd hazard a guess that the percentage of such was...
100%.
Moral: If he hadn't done it
way before then, thus his 'believers' suffering crushing Great Disappointment of their own before they experienced brain-death via hypoxia,
what the fuck makes you think your J-man is going to blow his horn, go down & suck you lot off in your lifetimes?! And there had been far worse socio-political conditions, compared to the so-called 'End Times' you claim are happening
now: WWII. And how - at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the only time a US president (JFK in this case) had ordered DefCon 2 - the US was just a few minutes away from going to DefCon 1; and you know what
that means (thank fuck it was Khrushchev that blinked first! >_< ). Nope, no '(C)Rapture' then.
You do the maths, Ruptured Retards.

And they still are. To be fair to Jebus, considering who some of his supposed followers are, I'd be too embarrassed to show up again, too.

Still waiting. I can't wait until Dec 22nd of this year, that's like the last culturally relevant 'date of doom' we have. Maybe when that day comes and nothing significant happens people will begin to move on and live for our future on Earth with a little more care and attention.
It's probably a vain hope, but it's a hope.

Jesus said he would return within the life of those now living. He is rather LATE. Maybe he actually died on the cross, just picture God the father saying oops as he makes the body disappear.

I doubt the gnostics or catholics were waiting for rapture. Also even if they were it would kill off hope for it I'd think
