If you're goin up in the rapture do you still get life insurance?

I definitely believe Life Insurance is necessary. Belief in the rapture doesn't keep them from getting hit by a bus before then.

You don't purchase life insurance for yourself...you purchase on yourself. It is there to ensure that your loved ones will be able to afford your last wishes. Burial, cremation or other. It also helps pay off any debts that you may have incurred while alive. Could be anything but mostly medical bills that add up near the end. Having life insurance will give you peace of mind that your heirs aren't going to spend the rest of their lives paying off your bills. As for no life insurance because of religious beliefs...that I never heard of before. People will believe what they want to or what they were brain washed into. But it doesn't mean the reasons behind it are one in the same. I have life insurance so that my kids won't have to worry in the end about my medical bills, misc house bills and where the money is going to come from to take care of me before I move on to my eternal resting place.

This would only be valid if you knew when the rapture was going to happen. No man knows the day or the hour the Lord will return. The Bible tells us to be innocent as doves but wise as serpents. That means protecting your assets, so that you do not leave your family with a burden and so that you have an investment like the wise servant with ten talents. I think those are Biblical principles that should hold true no matter what church you are attending.

some people have strange believes, and a lot of people have given away their money remember my series on knoji of the ends times, because they thought it was the end of the world and of course each and every time it was not.

That's nuts. I know an awful lot of Christians, and none of them believe that nonsense.

Really? I dont think I need it but my son will need it to have me cremated. then he can have the left over. I think of life insurance as a gift to the person that helps you pay on it.

Personally this is interesting, as I can remember when I was growing up I attended a church I no longer attend where someone I lived with for a short time did not believe in Medical.. God could heal anything. (Then why do I have a scar on my hand from where a broken piece of glass went thru my hand?) Personally I believe Medical, and Life insurance if you can have it to be a very important way of life. Anyone who says it is not necessary must be really living a lie. We are never guaranteed tomorrow even if we think we are 100% healthy today so being prepared is usually the best for sure.

That was an idiotic assumption and I'm glad you left that Church. No matter how you are leaving here, you are leaving. And in most cases there will be family left behind, even in the case of the "rapture". I don't claim to be an expert on the Bible, but I bet that there weren't any passages that after the rapture money would be rendered useless. Your family has to keep going after you leave, and no matter how you leave why would you want to leave them any amount of debt? Yeah, you are so better off without that crazy church.

Life insurance is only necessary if you have a young family or spouse unable to support themselves to leave behind, regardless whether you die or go up in the rapture still alive. I'd like to see someone try to collect from the great beyond. Thanks for the laugh.

Hi PointlessQuestions, I think we both know how religion brainwashes people. I have spend years just trying to get out of it's clutches, and my denomination was a fairly moderate one. People will believe anything if they are told it often enough, especially young children, but also most adults. Atheists are the same, especially if they are raised by parents who ridicule religion. One of my sons now belongs to a church who feels that it is the one and only true church, and you will not get into heaven unless you are a member of that particular church. Another son is a bit of a fundamentalist, but much more accepting of other denominations within Christianity. I have a niece and two nephews who are Mormons and totally convinced that Mormonism is the only way. I have noticed that many churches insist on their members testifying to all who can heard them that they KNOW that this is the ONLY way. If you continually tell your self that and also hear others telling you, it doesn't matter what it is, you are going to believe it. Everyone that is on this earth will die physically, and that will be the end of this world for them, at least for this time around. I don't think that we are our bodies and so I don't think that we ever die - but that remains to be seen. It is very silly for a person not to get life insurance for that reason, but I can see people believing anything that they think they have found in the Bible, or any holy book for that matter. Many will also believe anything their church or preacher tells them is true. Blessings.
