Left Behind rapture

[bilby]

Not everyone left behind is 'unsaved'.

Nobody's "left behind"; we are all here until we die. And "saved" is a meaningless concept. There's no meaningful difference between being raptured, and being euthanised.

Rapture enthusiasts are hoping that God will put them down like dogs. I sympathise with their wishes, but I don't understand how those wishes fit into their professed belief system.

I'm sorry. It's Kolob, isn't it? Kobol is Battlestar Galactica. Its getting hard to tell the difference.

Battlestar Galactica is based on the Bible. It was intended as Mormon propaganda.

These movies are good for one thing at least. Lampooning by God Awful Movies.

Nielsen did a series 'Police Squad', which was basically the same kind of comedy, in the early 80s. It was followed by the Naked Gun movies, which were directly based on Police Squad.

yup... all Leslie Neilson. Check out Angie Tribeca... the only comedy in this genre that wasn't Leslie Neilson... and you won't miss him (but you will hear him channeled by the actors often).

Question? Is this what Christianity comes down to?

for some people, yes, it does. to them, your professed beliefs matter more than your actions.

Which group would we want to belong to? The ones who 'believed' and saved their souls, or the ones who used their freewill to choose what they had believed to be their own path.

I would ask you how one could possibly choose what they believed. Here is an experiment. I will tell you that I owe you 1 million dollars and that you can expect payment soon. believe it. just choose to. See how happy that makes you? aren't you so very excited to be getting all that money from me? imagine all the good you can do with all that money!! you believe it, right? well, why wouldn't you? Isn't it a wonderful thing to believe?

do you not believe it because you think you are a bad person and would do terrible things to people with that money? That must be it if you can't convince yourself to be happy about it.

You see the parallel?
