The Rapture

What a bunch of nutters. They would be funny if there weren't so many of them - scarey!

I don't get their argument; they say that Israel has to be protected because that's where the 2nd edition of JC will be born, presumably Jewish, after all, that's what the first one was born as!!!!

What is even more scarey,is,they are running our show now!
The concept of the rapture would be so funny
by Boltlady
if there weren't so many people who believe it. I've actually had people tell me that they would be lifted out of their cars while driving or I might see little piles of clothes left on a sidewalk where someone was "raptured". It just all depended on when God decided to lift them to heaven. ..............................­..............................­..............................­... The images of all of that breaks me out in a chuckle whenever I think of it. Of course different people have different beliefs about how it will all happen. That's understandable because they have different preachers describing it to them. ..............................­..............................­..............................­.... I really try never to belittle a person's belief but I really have a hard time keeping a straight face when it comes to the rapture thing. How smug these folks are to believe that they personally will be one of the 144,000 chosen out of the billions of people on earth. Unfortunately I will be doomed to stay here with most of the rest of you when "it" happens.

I worked with one of those who believed in the 144,000 - - poor guy committed suicide. Guess he wanted to get there first?

Those who claim to know do not know anything.None of us do! We do not even know what the next moment will bring.

Most of them,"Know' Because a Preacher told them so!

And I shall stay behind with you. The first question I might ask if we run into each other is, "Are we having fun yet?" Evidently some folks have forgotten the passage about the eye of the needle and entering heaven. WOW! 144,000 souls trying to squeeze through an eye of a needle. That's worth hanging around to see, huh?

I believe it.

Re: The Rapture

You might believe in it, Jack, but, if you read your Bible, it's 144,000 righteous Jews that are going to ascend, nothing in there about Goys!

Personally, as a Pagan, I'm looking forward to the rapture, especially the way that the nutjob Xians describe it; I'll be out there with the shotgun, they're fair game if they're on the rise!

Jack:

You crack me up.

Re: The Rapture (To Wookie)

You are woefully ignorant of biblical teaching. No surprise, though, I would expect anyone who believes in eagle feathers and medicine bags to understand scripture.

The 144,000 are indeed Jews from the 12 tribes but the Rapture involves all believers. If you have access to a bible, know someone who has one, or live near a library where you could check one out, read Thessalonians.

The 144,000 do not ascend...they remain on earth to contend for the faith during the tribulation...but then I wouldn't expect you to know that.

I kinda feel about this like I do space travel. Let those who want to go get on with it and the earth will be a better place without them.
Therapist I was seeing weekly...

closed each session with a reading and a prayer,then started wanting me to watch Rev Hagee...and The "Left Behind" movies...then we started praying for George W. Bush who God had sent us to bring about the "end Of Times" and sadly he only had a little over 2 years left to get it done (at that time)...very nice Lady,but I told her it was too much...I'd had enough.

Told her even if "The End of Times" was coming....I couldn't see the reason to rush it.

They are real...they walk among us.
