From Rapture Ready

This is a really sick post from the same thread. Bolding mine.

No question about that. She's hoping her daughters will endure seven years of sheer Hell?

"Hi, kids! I love you so much, I want you to endure seven years of Tribulation!" This is one sick woman.

I'll reiterate my question from earlier: What if anyone speaking of this is wrong? About any of it?

Oh, wait, that doesn't matter, right?

How do I report to the moderators a thread derail?

The original post was about shame and concern over family going to hell, right? Well, on topic, I will say this: let them feel shame, let them feel stress. I will laugh and play until the cows come home. Worry about me all you want: I (not so) silently mock thee.

How about my dad? Can I call him father? It seems a bit harsh if I can't. I mean, I don't usually, it's a bit formal, but still.

You're Welsh, right?

And you know who your father is?

Ahhh....

Rarebit!

I am not entirely sure you understand this bit of ... doctrine. Once you are saved you will not fall away. Everyone who does fall away was therefore never truly saved to begin with. ;)

Makes you wonder--just what exactly is involved to cross over that line from eternal torture to eternal bliss.

Salvation through faith & not works?..... One of the RR posters relates the story of one of her relatives being a selfish,miserable bitch her entire life---then repents ON HER DEATHBED---and is considered saved.

An entire lifetime of assholism wiped out just like that?

Did Joseph Goebbels- after murdering his children in the bunker-get struck with the reality of what he'd done & repent right before he took his own life? Is he sitting up in heaven eating popcorn & laughing at M. Ghandi as he roasts over a slow fire?

So kids get a pass up until they reach the "age of accountability"... loosely defined as being between 7-12 years old. Then--they become teenagers-all those hormones start kicking in-and 99% decide there's other ways of spending Friday evening than bible study or singing hymns with their parents. Now they're screwed again if something happens.

God's not mysterious...he's bat-guano loony.

One of them complained that her unbelieving relatives were a real trial to her and did not know how much pain they were causing her.

Idiots.

Right RT. It does all seem to be about how I can't wait to be sucked up to heaven and sit in god's lap. Who cares about all of those sinners (including my family and other loved ones) who are roasting in hell. The glee with which some of these people anticipate the rapture is severely disturbing. (It's like Nah, Nah, I was right! Aren't you sorry that you didn't listen to me?") If this is truly what they believe, don't they have any empathy? The callousness of it all disgusts me.

I knew there was a reason I liked you... :D

Soooo ... advanced rapture syndrome?

It used to be called 'Premature Rapture' and up to 40% of Christians might suffer from it in their life-time. Happily, these days, there are clinical mitigations.

I am one thirty second Scottish, so I honor that by spelling honour your way every so often, and by sipping Oban and Glen Morangie now and again as well.

I look awful in a kilt, truth be told.
