I think a large motivation is the need to feel special.
Who or what is a "true Christian"? Is a true Christian someone who offers such a low price to save the pets of others?
Or do pets simply not matter?
But I am glad that you have come to the realisation that it is the supporters of those like Hinn who would possibly buy into saving pets for after the Rapture. But something tells me they will probably funnel all their available cash to Hinn so that he can get closer to God, and through him, they can get closer to God.
What you fail to get in all of this is that the whole thing points out the selfishness of such individuals who would buy into it. You pointed out something very valid before. $110 is a ridiculous price and shows that it could all be just a farce. It shows that people would be willing to pay so little, for a service that may or may not exist, for their pets because they are too busy funnelling the rest of their money to those who they think can get them closer to God. It shows just how little some would value their pets if the Rapture were to occur. In short, it shows the selfishness of many people. Go to God or save the beloved family pooch? Go to God of course and pooch be damned to survive on $110 until it dies.
"For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again." (Ecclesiastes 3:18-20 KJV)
Well, how many people actually accept Christ as their savior nowadays ? How many people truly believe that ?
I think they are a minority.
You guys live in the strangest societies. I have had devout [almost daily church going] Catholic friends all my life and I never even heard of the rapture before sciforums.
They don't believe in the rapture. They believe whatever the designated authorities of the catholic church tell them to believe.
All Praise The Ancient Of Days
But you believe in the rapture? Why?
Man, atheists are so screwed! Not only do they get left behind, but now they'll have all those animals to rescue and take care of, and for $110 a pup, no money to do it with! Suckers.
What chapters of the Bible deal with the rapture?
If by nice people, you mean two bit hucksters and scam artists, then yeah. These atheists are great!It turns out that atheists are nice people after all.
What chapters of the Bible deal with the rapture?
Well that makes sense to me because I too do not rely on any religious authority except the Qur'an.
