Saipan Posted May 16, 2011 Report Posted May 16, 2011 The Bible contradicts itself regarding when this rapture mentioned in 1 Thessalonians I often drive through Thessalon, never noticed anything. Quote
DogOnPorch Posted May 18, 2011 Report Posted May 18, 2011 Crap...this is going to get in the way of the playoffs, isn't it? On the bright side...postal stike? Hah! Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
scouterjim Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Posted May 19, 2011 I think everyone has a better chance of getting a rupture as opposed to a rapture. Quote I have captured the rare duct taped platypus.
scouterjim Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Posted May 20, 2011 BTW, what time does this all happen? Given Australia is a day ahead of us in time, has the end started there already? Quote I have captured the rare duct taped platypus.

Five failed end-of-the-world predictions Oh he did prophecised Judgement Day? Based on what Jesus said in the Bible (Death will come as a thief in the night is one verse referring this), I don't think God will give any warning to us when the time comes. Furthermore, a false prophet is marked by his false prophecies. Makes you wonder why they'd do something like that - make prophecies! News guys say it's a publicity stunt to generate more donations. How many would donate to someone who didn't get it right, I wonder? Must be worth it. Edited May 21, 2011 by betsy Quote

msj Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Oh he did prophecised Judgement Day? According to the link he did so in 1980 (for the end of 1982). He has also prophesied other things (such as a possible nuclear attack on the US in 2007) and was wrong then too.

jbg Posted May 22, 2011 Report Posted May 22, 2011 "It's the End of the World as we Know It" - R.E.M. and sung by Great Big Sea. It's 12:02 a.m. (1:32 a.m. in Newfoundland) and I'm still feeling fine. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
kimmy Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Yesterday I woke up to a blinding light, a strange feeling of weightlessness, and sensation of disorientation and numbness. I briefly thought I'd been raptured, but it turned out to be just a really bad hangover. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
