That covered all bases.

Actually Rapture Theology is rather new and more of a contemporary cult of dubious interpretations and overlays and has been called a false doctrine. It is an interesting subject to look up.

The rapture was popularized in the 1970s by Hal Lindsey’s writings (The Late Great Planet Earth, etc.) and more recently by Jim Jenkins and Tim LaHaye in their Left Behind fictional books and films. But where did the idea of the rapture originate?

There were also amillennialists in Darby’s day. He labored to correct both false teachings. Darby believed, rightly, that Jesus Christ would return to earth to establish and rule over the Kingdom of God. Darby was a premillennialist.

But in his zeal for countering error, he added another—the rapture theory. He believed he understood a new truth, an idea that had not been taught in the history of Christendom. While he was most likely sincere, sincerity alone does not make one right.

Imagine a day when you wake up and all of these people are gone, disappeared from the face of the Earth. I for one, would be elated.

As for them, harken back to the Twilight Zone episode, To Serve Man. Have at it believers.

IMO.

Hi pwb. For a true Bible believer, it is stated, "Salvation is a gift...so no man can boast". Eternal life cannot b earned.

To help them prepare.

sweet nothings, imo.

Brutal honesty.

Heavy on the brutal.

then clearly tRump is the anti-Christ. Simple as that.

was at best a mythology designed to communicate larger truths - because, after all, the only end-of-the-world that should matter to you is your own (death).

But Trump is making me rethink that some. Not seriously ... but have you noticed there's a False Prophet in that story too? Franklin Graham? Mitch McConnell? William Barr?

I don’t personally believe in the Rapture – but I almost wish I did. I could at least look forward to watching Jesus kicking some seriously deserving ass.

and worthy of the largest full page newspapers remaining in the U.S.A.

But it's so true, and so poignant, they would refuse to print it. Which is fortunate for the author because Democrats don't need the newest Salmon Rushdie. They just need to get to the polls in November!

That people like Franklin Graham, Falwell Jr, Jim Bakker, Copeland, etc must be convinced atheists, because if they truly believed in what the New Testament said they would know they were guaranteeing that they would spend eternity in Hell.

I think we've been cursed since the Romans turned the temples of the Vestal Virgins into churches, Vesta is now an angry goddess looking for revenge

One of your best.

I mean, it might all be bullshit, but this is bullshit on top of bullshit. No one else believes it and there is no biblical mention of it

Just to clarify, The Biblical passage referencing the rapture is Thessalonians 4:13-18 "But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call and with the sound of the trumpet of God.
AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST;THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE, WHO ARE LEFT, SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR;AND SO WE SHALL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD. Therefore comfort one another with these words. The highlighted sentences are the revelant ones. {revised standard version catholic edition}

Where they gather with Jesus in Heaven, not some pre-tribulational event. It is an Evangelical belief that it happens BEFORE the second coming.

... now steal away!

into doing their bidding. Things like sending money....lots of money. Apparently money helps White Jesus decide who gets to be raptured.

Amen, NanceGreggs!

Gives me a headache.

Did you write that?

I wish this could be printed in major newspapers....Thank you.

Just excellent.

NancyGreggs, everything u say is true. But the GOP joker's & hatefilled magats are hypocrites & Pharisees. They are not Christians. The Lord will say to them, "I never knew you". I'm as angry & appalled at them as any sane person with a heart can be. I do hope they burn in hell. What they have done to those children & the constant lying should b enough to get the into the deepest end of the lake of fire!!!

Great job and thank you for the smile!
