I checked at the "Rapture Ready" site just to see what they were up to.

[Are_grits_groceries]

They have a couple of threads about Warren. They said this must be the
"Purpose Driven Inauguration." Most are displeased.

There are a lot of threads about how things will change in the country.
They see these as the "end times."

And they have gotten into quite a kerfuffle over Fred Phelps.
Someone posted his lovely views about gays, and they are debating
his point of view. The Bible verses are being flung hard and fast.
They are calling each other apostates and such. Is that a Christian
word for troll?

1. Not exactly. Apostates have to start out as true believers...

. . trolls don't believe anything except their own poo don't stink...

[Are_grits_groceries]

3. Ahhhh. Now I can detect the difference.

Thanks!:hi:

[Trajan]

2. Wow ...

Sounds like DU ....

[Are_grits_groceries]

5. Minus the Bible verses and adding some profanities, it might be close.

However, that's ONE thread. There are so many threads flaming here,

it looks like "Bonfire of the Insanities." (and yes I've added my

flame too.)

6. And Troll Prophylactics don't work with the rapture ready crowd...

... because they oppose all forms of birth control.

4. Well, in my church it was a code word saying you don't agree with

the Pope. You know that most of Christianity is based on blind obedience to authority. When you present an objection to accepted belief, most likely you will be considered an apostate. This is what I like about some of the Asian religions like Buddhism, they love debate and want you to question everything, dissect it and try to find the truth. This was the method of the ancient Greek philosophers and why Socrates had to drink hemlock because he questioned the Greek gods.

10. i too was raised catholic.

i never questioned anything i was taught. in my early 20s i left the church.

[Cleita]

13. I used to question what I was told but found out every time I did that I was going

straight to Hell. So I learned to shut up and left the church once I was able to leave school and home.

7. A friend of mine is suffering from cancer of the apostate. nt

8. If there was a rapture, which there definitely is not, it couldn't come soon enough for me.

:dem:

The word "Rapture" is not found in the Bible. There is also no single word used by the biblical authors to describe the prophetic factors which comprise the doctrine. Its formulation has come about by means of induction. Certain biblical passages concerning the second coming (and the role that Christians will play in that event) have been inductively blended together to establish the teaching. The modern expression "Rapture" was then invented to explain the overall teaching and the term suits the subject well.
