So what is the specific POV that you are referring to that I feel I am right and everyone else is wrong? Is there something that you have on your mind that you would like to share with the class? otherwise you are just making a general statement about a myth that hasn't been discussed. Talk to...

I suck at message boards. I'm sure that many people have quit the internet because of me.

I would never pretend to know everything about much of anything. Still, it's pretty cool to see that instead of acknowledging that the rapture is NOT in the bible you claim I can't "hang" with you. That's a good one. Check it out, I started in ministry at the age of 19. I planted an independent...

Hurry up, superpunk...get those fingers to working googl...er, I mean get busy pulling up all of your bible knowledge.

It's going great, bro. Good to see you.

:towel TNCowboy.

Awesome. But it's not there, so trying to make it be there is not an interpretation. I thought you were an intellectual type?

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. The rapture was introduced then and not popularized until later. Now it's the focal point of thousands of ministries. I'm of the belief that we should not take the bible and start making stuff up about it. So in that sense you could say that it's not an...

By the way, there is no reference of the rapture in the bible. None. That idea wasn't introduced until very recently but it never came from scripture.

the bible is not confusing at all. What gets me is the idea that all of the free thinkers and the guys way too smart to consider the bible are equally unwilling to understand it. It completely get it if you are not down with the bible. More power to you and all of that. Leave it alone and go...

The rapture is not scriptural and made up bible stuff. :sneak

huh?

You are assuming that I am saying that the bible is filled with errors. I am NOT saying that. I was saying that it's not fair to ask you to take that leap. If there are errors it doesn't take away from the general flow of the message. That's what I was saying earlier. We could argue until we...

Yes, the bible is copies of copies of translations from one language to the other. The general flow of the bible is basically unchanged. I don't know if it would be fair to ask a person to take a leap that doesn't believe. Fair enough on that point. History is another matter though. If you...

Actually no. There is a pretty big difference. That's really my main point and a good example of what I am talking about. The Catholic Church is something different than the word catholic. But I'm sure that it's better to just throw some stuff against the wall and blow it off when facts are...

The counsel at Nicaea is what you are talking about. That is when scripture was canonize. Those guys weren't Catholic but back then the church was called the catholic church.

And it's not a matter of talking shit. It's just if you want to debate the validity of scripture do it on the merits of what it actually says rather than something that some idiot said. It seems that the debate is stuck in the mud because of what some guy said about the bible and then the...

You are confusing the holy catholic church with Catholicism. Two completely different things. Catholic is merely a definition of the church. Catholicism, or the current Catholic church, is the name of a sect. Much like the Baptist church. Baptism is something that you do but a denomination...

Real Christianity is unfortunately mistaken for American Christianity. For good reason since the American church has basically bastardized the teachings of Jesus. It's no surprise that everyone is confused because they are going off the example placed before them rather than the truth. The...

It's all good, bro. I'm just kiddin. Gimme knucks! ~washes hand of potential leprosy ~
