Alfie, This is a bit off track but are you really female? I don't know why but I get the feeling that like an online game not all the female characters played there are being controlled by actual females...

I'm just wondering... did you get banned from BP also or did you just leave of your on accord??? I know you were gone for some time then you came back for like a week or so... So were you banned there or did you leave and if you left why or if you were banned , did they give you a reason??? Justice... Hey GJ! No I didn't get banned. I actually deactivated my own account. It just infuriated me that they would'nt allow me to have my own Avatar. Ever since I made the comment against Potheads, the would always cancel my Avatars. But besides that, I not only took myself off of that site, but off of every site. It was sort of a cleansing for me. I deactivated my account on ever forum I was on except this one. It had nothing to do with BP's forum or with anybody there. I just felt like I wanted a fresh start and at that time that fresh start meant me being off of every forum I was on except this one. Thanks for asking.  |

Owned "Total and undeniable dominance of a person, group of people or situation...." That's what it means...I owned anyone who dared go against me in a debate. I soundly trounced them into submission turning them into trolls, resulting in their resorting to attemts at deflection of thread topics, personal insults and attacks unrelated to the topic of discussion. Their inability to respond to me in an intelligent topic related manner forced then into vulgar, insulting, disrespectful & completely uncalled for tyraids. It just gets tiring beating people who never had what it took in the beginning to even compete. Here's a prime example of what I mean: I engage in an exchange with someone who disagrees with me. We debate our beliefs in a completely respectful manner. Never once do either of us resort to making personal attacks or insults nor do we use vulgarity to attempt to prove out points. We just debate on the issue. Even if neither of us succeeds at changing the other's mind, we at least develop a healthy respect for each other and can figuratively shake hands. Then there are the psuedo-intellectuals that cannot handle being proven wrong. They get backed up into a corner and instead of conceding that they cannot respond, they attempt to divert the conversation into off topic directions. When you attempt to return the exchange to the topic in question, they become enraged and start to hurl insults (this makes them "trolls" or what's aka "forum trolls"). I've just learned to remove myself from forums that are heavily heavily populated with trolls and have chosen the lesser occupied cyber world of intelligent discussion. Don't get me wrong, I used to enjoy baiting trolls, but now, I've grown to the point that I'm beyond that. Now, I'm just seeking exchanges with people that I can grow with. |

Hi I'm new here. The video on this post was great. When I was a protestant, I never really got the secret rapture thing. Do protestants believe Jesus comes back 2 times?
Anyway, I'm Catholic now. I believe in the "rapture", but not the same as the "left behind" theology. Doesn't the Bible teach that Jesus returns and all are resurrected and we are all judged, and those going to heaven are then "taken up" to heaven? To me that just makes more sense. Is there an official Catholic teaching on the "rapture"?

As for the "official" Catholic teaching, I don't know if The Church has a teaching or position on it. It's a Protestant belief. The word "rapture" doesn't even exist in The Bible. |

I see you haven't changed... your hubris precedes you still... but alas you have just what you have needed all along... your own little corner of the world where you may pontificate at will... I leave you to it then.. peace my brother...  Justice... Yep, a place where only the strong can thrive. A place where the focus of a discussion is kept on one point. And a place where intelligent exchanges occur with intelligent folk. Just look at the quality of the members here. Dont' get me wrong, BP had some great members there, but even they don't post regularly. Their welcome here if they like. I always have an open door for those who can hang. Peace. And don't let the doorknob hit ya! LOL! |

No, there is such word as rapture in The BOOK... but here is the area from which the "rapture " theology comes... 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Perhaps I should have put that second group of passages first however that is part of it... for things on the judgement seat of Yeshua you'll have to go to The Book of the Apocalypse... I love to get Protestants to admit that. Jesus never taught on this "rapture". The Apostles never taught on this "rapture". The Church Fathers never taugh on this "rapture". This belief was invented by John Darby in the 1800's. Once you say that, you cannot attack any other religion for believing in things that are never mentioned in the Bible by name, but that are referenced to. |

Fortunately that is why I always come equipped with scripture to shew from where the theology stems... unlike catholic catechisms there is actually scriptural basis for this... Justice... Actually, there is. If you read the notes for the scriptural references. The Catechism shows all the scriptural references from which our doctrines come from. Have you ever actually looked a Catechism? __________________________________________________ What you provided was a passage, but no description that resembles what is known today as "The Rapture". And I shewed you where that belief actucally came from. John Nelson Darby. An unordained man. Not God. Nor Jesus. Nor The Apostles. Nor The Church Fathers. But a man...John Darby. Nobody believed in that until that belief was based on a section of a passage until 1,900 years "after" Jesus died. But hey, to each his/her own. I'm no one to tell a person how or what to believe. Their faith is their own. Most Chrisians however don't believe as Darbians believe. |

By the way, I don't know if you noticed it, but you didn't provide the Book from which you retrieved those verses from. That would certainly go a long way in you proving your case. |
