Guest T-Bone Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Sounds like the standard FundaMentalist Catholic bashing to me. Ask them to point out in the Bible where the Bible is EXPLICIT in backing up Rapture Theology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didacus Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 OK Crawling out from beneath the rock here. I've heard the term many times before, but for the sake of my limited understanding, someone please explain to me what this 'rapture' really is all about? I for certain do not intend to pay 29$ to sign up to that website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pope is the big anti-christ, Catholics have the whole cult of Tamooz thing going on...you know the drill Edited October 7, 2005 by Cow of Shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didacus Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Oh borther! *slaps his head* Now I remember. Ya I know them a bit, well as much as I want to anyways. I think I'll stick around for the party here on earth until the big JC comes if that's ok with them. And if its not, big deal... *slaps head again* ouch, that gets to hurt sometimes.

cmotherofpirl Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 The rapture is false teaching teaching invented by people who where trying to interpret scripture on their own - the blind leading the blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin D Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 [b]Didacus[/b], there are two amazing books that deal with the whole Rapture craze. [b]"Will Catholics Be Left Behind?"[/b] - Carl E. Olson (I own this book) [b]"The Rapture Trap"[/b] - Paul Thigpen Also, Phatmass has something on it: [url="http://www.phatmass.com/directory/index.php/cat_id/162"]http://www.phatmass.com/directory/index.php/cat_id/162[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tojo Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 (edited) I'm still disapointed about not getting to believe in the Rapture anymore. I spent seven years waiting and hoping for it to come. It's like going all through school and finding out there is no such thing as graduation.... Edited October 8, 2005 by tomasio127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
