rapture

Numerous posters on this forum have mentioned that Bush believes in the "rapture" and bases his different stands on foreign policy on this belief. While I have found articles from very anti-Bush publications like "The Guardian" and the "Village Voice" attacking Bush for this, I have yet to find...

How did I miss this? http://theage.com.au/articles/2004/07/05/1089000094172.html?oneclick=true What's it all about? Has the heir apparent to the Liberal Party crown, Peter Costello gone mad..or is he indulging in some political opportunism? I hate to use that terrible term, but this just seems...

Let me explain that my mind works in mysterious ways even to myself, so comments and questions are welcome. I play D & D and one of my characters is a lawful good halfling outrider who swore to protect all halflings. One of our encounters was with a naga (a mythical critter that's a huge...

Well the folks at Rapture ready have taken me under their wing and decided to pray for me. I don't just mean one little prayer. I have a whole thread devoted to my saving. I originally enquired of them how they think prayer works and isn't it just a tad arrogant to pray to the almighty for a...

Found this sig line on a Rapture Ready forum today.....didn't know whether to laugh or cry... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I think we Christians should look at this world as being a filthy restroom at a roadside gas station. Fate has brought...

This just occurred to me... assuming there is a Rapture, wouldn't the people who are waiting for the Rapture not be considered for being taken up into heaven? I mean, after all, they're committing the sin of presumption (assuming they know what God thinks), and if 12 years of Catholic school...

I've been thinking how to phrase this. The thought popped into my head when I read the marvelous Chthulu Chick-parody. A person who is 'alive' is someone who can breathe, ingest nourishment, is not brain-dead, etc. If someone does not fit these three (or at least 2 of them at the very least)...

I won't bother explaining, just have a look here and at the other stuff they post...

Today's antics are not knowing what "Christian" means, while being it. http://rr-bb.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=117881

I decided to register with Rapture Ready so that I might read and post if I wanted. (So far, I've only lurked) I've registered twice, under two different persona. The first time I didn't use my 'Calladus' handle, and was able to register easily. However, I've decided to be honest about who I...

http://www.raptureready.com/rap16.html Most of my contemporary heroes in proclaiming prophetic truth from God’s Word believe and teach that Jesus, in the Matthew 24-25 Olivet Discourse, did not touch on the rapture. Paul the apostle, it is believed–with good reason—was the first to reveal the...

Jesus said that the end times would come before everyone who was alive at that time ("this generation") was dead, right? So say he was telling the truth. JC died in 33 AD or thereabouts. The last person to hear him died in, oh let's be very liberal, 200 AD. The end times started before then...

I keep hearing about the Rapture - any day now, any day. But the interesting thing is that only Protestants seem to believe in this - no Catholics, no Eastern or Russian Orthodox, etc. What gives? Where, specifically, in the bible do we find a description of the Rapture? I am serious here -...
