From Rapture Ready

If you believed in the rapture of the church wouldn't you do the same?

I suppose I might. However I would focus on people who spoke my language. I do not speak Chinese so it would be the very height of silliness for me to go proselytize in China. Similarly, you do not speak the language of the posters on this message forum, so it is a waste of your valuable and limited time trying to talk to us. Once again we see why you are the absolutely worse person possible to convert the members here. You ignore our counter-arguments, you engage in logical fallacies on a daily basis, you insist that the Bible is the inerrant and internally consistent word of God despite being shown dozens of errors and contradictions, and you refuse to make even the tiniest effort to understand our positions.

Either go away and find some people who are receptive to your attempts to teach them about God, or stay here and open your mind. If there is a God and He is anything like the one described in the Bible, then you are going to have to face some difficult questions: How will you respond when He asks why you wasted so much time at the JREF when there were so many others that you could have saved.

That word seems close in meaning but maybe I just made up my own word, now I can't remember. Haven't you ever been creative like that? I think I kind of take after my dad and he made up lots of his own silly words when I was growing up like,"Beautimous." I think it's kind of fun to be creative with words sometimes myself, don't you?

William Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll made up new words all the time, but they did it intelligently enough that people could understand what those words meant from their obvious etymology and context.

You, on the other hand, make up a word like "voicedross", and it sounds like you're saying (voice) garbage (dross).

On second thought, that does accurately describe your posts. I withdraw my criticism.

Oh, me too, my bad. Perfectly descriptive word; I see that now.

P.S. And now lets go back to a song that relfects the OP topic. Does anyone remember a song back in the 80's called,"Rapture"? I think Blondie or the Annie Lenox sang it but I'm not sure??

Rapture by Blondie was about the growing rap style of lyrics in music at the time and not anything to do with a theistic rapture as far as I know. Unless you mean your ‘rapture’ involves a ‘man from Mars’ as Slingblade surmises.

Probably.

I think voice-tross sounds more like "boice-truss" or "boice-ter-us" than like "voh-sif-er-us," but the case can really be made for either.

My point is that she knows very well the word she is using is the wrong one. And yet she keeps using it as if no one has ever tried to point out the error.

It's indicative, I tell you, indicative!!!1!!eleventy!

Are you a preterist or something? If I saw Obama or some other world leader sign a peace treaty with Isreal then I may question some of my current beliefs, but for now I really believe that Christ will rapture his church before the 7 year tribulation period starts here on earth.

Im an atheist Kathy. Although if you are a futurist then I'd have to seriously consider it.

from Wikipedia:
Preterists maintain that Futurists misunderstand the various metaphors, idioms and prophetic language that the New Testament employs. Preterists claim that many of these are proven to be idiom and metaphors by their use in the Old Testament, and are not meant to be taken literally, e.g., being seen "coming in clouds," 2Samuel 22:11-12, and the reference to a "thousand" years in Rev. 20:2, (Psalm 50:10, Deuteronomy 7:9).

And many ask over and over why the word "rapture" isn't mentioned in the Bible, but it's meaning clearly is so that does seem pretty obvious to me. Think about it for a minute, there are many words used in the English language to describe the same thing so don't you think the meaning is what matters most even if the wording is a bit different at times?

If you ever want to talk, person to person, I'm available via this place. But for now, please excuse me, because I am convinced you are mouthing words that you don't understand, much less believe in, and I am bored with the song you sing.

Regards,

M.

I understand that she knows she misspelled a word, but she is too proud to admit it. Yet she's preaching to us. Go figure.

"Rapture"

Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotised
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture

Back to back
Sacrailiac
Spineless movement
And a wild attack

Face to face
Sadly solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty-four hour shopping in Rapture

Fab Five Freddie told me everybody's high
DJ's spinnin' are savin' my mind
Flash is fast, Flash is cool
Francois sez fas, Flashe' no do
And you don't stop, sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and you drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and lands on the ground
And out comes a man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night, eatin' cars
You eat Cadillacs, Lincolns too
Mercuries and Subarus
And you don't stop, you keep on eatin' cars
Then, when there's no more cars
You go out at night and eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face, dance cheek to cheek
One to one, man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow, 'cause the man from Mars
Is through with cars, he's eatin' bars
Yeah, wall to wall, door to door, hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture, be pure
Take a tour, through the sewer
Don't strain your brain, paint a train
You'll be singin' in the rain
I said don't stop, do punk rock

Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race
And you hip-hop, and you don't stop
Just blast off, sure shot
'Cause the man from Mars stopped eatin' cars and eatin' bars
And now he only eats guitars, get up!

Kathy, you can remember a song title but not the lyrics as Slingblade has shown above.

Any given subject you write about and speak of reveals how little you know about it. Instead, all I see from you is the mindless fundiespeak over and over and over again.

If your God gave you a brain, why are you not using it?

Um....

That's not a word!


I am using this as uncontrovertible proof that Kurious Kathy refuses to listen, to learn, or to correct herself. This is not her first use of her made-up word that doesn't exist in any language, and not the first time she's been told it isn't the word she wants.

The word she wants is BOISTEROUS. But she won't admit it, for love, money, or salvation itself.

No, no, no. By intent or by accident, I think kurious_kathy was on to something in claiming to be "voicedross".

voice n. something suggestive of speech in being a medium of expression

dross n. impurity: worthless or dangerous material that should be removed​

(Madalch had it before I got here.)

Well like most gods, using what you are given by them to question them is an affront to them. Thus condemning you to eternal damnation, which is one of the reasons why I never liked gods. I don't like threats portrayed as gifts. You can question me about or use anything I give you against me. If I can't defend myself then the fault is in me and not you. Of course, certainly not a god, I am only a man or “The Man” as a name given to me by others for what I do for them (not just because my first name is Dan hence “Dan The Man”), but then I have never had to threaten anyone for them to give me respect.
 
Interrupting a bit, but I promise to use all real words:

Yah I know sometimes it's hard for everyone to see God right when people suffer, but it's because sin does have penalties and this world is suffering because of that.

Where is all this sin? Who's doing all this sinning? Are the actual sinners being punished proportionate to their sinning or does your god just randomly dish it out on earth and figure he'll settle accounts in the afterlife?

I mean, we've all seen bad people live long and comfortable lives, while many decent people suffer horribly. Whose/What sin is responsible for up to 40,000 young children suffering and dying every single day?

I really hate it when a teacher punishes the whole class for something that one student did, but your god is punishing kids who don't even go to the same school. "OMG! People are having sex before they're married! Send a tsunami to Indonesia! And is that woman in Kansas rolling her eyes at the preacher? Quick! Send more malaria to Africa!"

How exactly does the sin ---> suffering scenario work? And why do you worship the guy in charge of it?
