Could the "rapture" described in the Bible be an ancient idea of teleportation?

Question

The "rapture" part describes Jesus "ascending the heavens" . Could it mean he would be teleported aboard an alien spacecraft from Earth and taken to their planet or world or whatever ? It would seem miraculous to most humans even today . Is teleportation theoretically possible ? Like the Star Trek type " Beam me up " etc.

Answer 1

Telepathy!

Answer 2

You know I have thought of that before too.  Beam me up Scottie, er-ah I mean God!  Wouldn't that be something Jesus was an ET.   Where does leave the intelligent design vs. evolution battle?

Answer 3

Jesus isn't an alien.  He's the Son of the Living God, in which you are made in his image, which would make you an alien, which means, once again, that he isn't an alien to you, seeing that you are made in his image.

The rapture has not yet occurred.  You are speaking of the ascension.  The disciples watched Jesus ascend.  The rapture will happen in the blink of an eye.  Folks will just be gone.  Blink.  Just that quick.

Answer 4

The bible is make believe.  It is full of myths and legends from ancient bronze age people trying to make sense of a world they could not comprehend and did not understand.  Miracles, magic, gods (yes more than one, read the bible), all effecting the lives of mortal men.  The book of Revelation, is an allegorical fantasy, full of coded references to Rome, that was supposed to have occurred during the lifetime of those living at the time.  Believing any of it is true is silly, believing it refers to flying saucers, aliens and transporters is....  the opposite of profound.

Answer 5

NO!

Answer 6

Teleportation is theoretically possible. You should read about quantum physics. They have teleported electrons or something. Really interesting stuff.

Answer 7

rapture is the event when the angels or aliens hower u like to call them  take from earth  the choosen ones,

to the eternal paralel universe where god resdies,

in the process the are involved  interdimesional spaceships,

and angels themselves who do the transfers and open the inter dimensional  portals, between the 2 universes

telportation is involved only int he 1 part when the people are teleporterd from the earth to the main ships that are usally on geostatinaryy orbits around earth

Answer 8

The first answerer is correct that is the ascension at the end of days when the church is caught up in the air. that is what that word means a catching up or being caught up according to radio preachers, but then they could be wrong..

However to answer your question it is entirely possible that each event  is teleportation.
