Haha I was going to quote some parts of your post in particular, but then I realized...well I just love the whole thing. SO TRUE!"Heartfelt softballs" oooh love that one.Pastors need to preach about sin!! Instead of chanting "You are Holy" 20 times in a row during the music portion, let's dig...

Fair enough. Now that I think about it, I've always been dubious about the Biblical basis of the Rapture, but since it is such a widely held belief, I've never overly questioned it. Me=lame!

No worries Donnie, thanks Thanks for the links, Kriss, I'll take a look when I have a chancesetfree, so you're saying that by "taken away" you mean death?

Please don't be condescending. I did read it in context.Setfree, can you explain to me further what you mean by taken to punishment? When do you see this happening?

(Wakka;47745) If it was fair, then we would all get what we deserve; death. Pretty much.I was wondering if you could give me your no-Rapture interpretation of the following verses, from Matthew 24: 40-4240 Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will...

(adren@line;47735) Like you stated, you mostly do not believe in evolution because of religion, and IMO that isnt a good enough reason. Sure, there are arguments against it, but most of these have been addressed by some scientist or another that has not been blinded by faith. Hey now, did you...

I concur with David on this one. Homosexuality was definitely a blatant sin in the culture of Sodom & Gomorrah, but the Bible is not specific as to the exact sins for which the cities were condemned. I'd say most likely it was just the entire heart attitude of rebellion against God, and doing...

I just want to make sure that foundational claims about tongues are being based on the Word. Appreciate your post I also believe in the gift, though I don't believe it is for today. I am open to the possibility, though, and always give the speaker the benefit of the doubt. It's not my place to...

Ok, maybe this has already been talked to death in the past, but I'm curious what everyone's different thoughts on modern speaking in tongues are. Biblical basis please? I'm curious, and always willing to learn if I am wrong about something. And I know this is often a subject that is near and...

Hey Hey Hey, be nice Wakka! For the record, I attend a church that leans towards Pentecostal, and supposed "tongue-speaking" occurs rather frequently. When it does happen, I respectfully sit there, see if I can get any edification from it, and pray for the speaker as well as the listeners. If...

Saw this movie about a year ago. I don't remember the specifics as to WHY, but I remember being very uncomfortable, even angry, with exactly what some people have been saying...the indoctrination. The type of behavior these children exhibit...often a really great thing....if genuine. How many of...

(adren@line;47664) Im not an atheist, and I will admit that speaking in tongues does look odd. Most people today seem to have forgotten that the gift of tongues is (was, I believe) the ability to speak in another human language that the speaker had never studied. It's not the senseless babbling...

(treeoflife;47676) Just trust the Lord at His Word... you'll never be disappointed. The beautiful thing about being a Christian, is knowing that it is the truth. I could not be a Christian if I was always finding places where the Bible was wrong, inconsistencies, logical problems, etc. I do have...

Haha looks like I should have read the whole thread before I posted. Looks like much of what I said has already been said. One thing I also thought I should clarify...I do think that significant arguments can be made to put the theory of macroevolution to death. By avoiding that argument, I'm...

*raises hand* Degree in Neurobiology, Physiology & Animal Behavior here.Problems Christians have in debating evolution: Microevolution is a non-debatable, observable, scientific fact. This is the common scientific usage of the generic term "evolution." Thus, saying "evolution is a theory" or...

I don't think God likes Christian/Atheist dating. Sure good things can come from it, but God can use any situation for His will. Even a mere dating relationship like that is unequal yoking."Dating" is a sore subject for me, since the views my parents forced onto me about it really screwed me up...

OK, so what you are saying, is that Christians who believe in the Rapture will most likely to be fooledby the Antichrist, because they are expecting to not be around when he shows up on the world scene. I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. The Rapture may be a false doctrine, but I...

I'm going to dip my toe into this pool really quick and just ask:A) Marksman, I'm curious as to what you mean by the "gift of prophetic teaching." Not a challenge, just curious. Matthew 7:21-23, that Marksman quoted...scariest verses in the Bible, IMHO.C) I tend to agree, that megachurches tend...

Now, I've always believed in the Rapture. However, I've been reading the material on this site about how this may not exist, and I am definitely questioning it. I am curious, though, as to why you say people who believe in the Rapture will "most likely" be fooled by the Antichrist?

Welcome! Looking forward to some mutual iron sharpening
