Christians Ascend?

[Teallaura]

You seem to be a bit quick, of late, to disagree with, or find fault with me. Something I did?

No, I still think I saw you make the comment - I know I saw it and I'd have sworn it was you. I remember seeing your postbit, but I can't find it and I take your word that it wasn't you and therefore I was mistaken.

In social science parlance, when the emperor travels to a city the city dignitaries go to meet him outside the gates and escort him in. Similarly, when Jesus returns, we will rise to meet him in the sky and escort him back down to the ground.

Which is why, when I take a shower, I always make sure to have a towel within arm's reach, in case I get "caught up" from there.

Is this where I curse and swear, and declare I never knew you?

Seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about, and why would I.....

[Teallaura]

Whoa, where did I make fun of the futurist stance? I'm not even convinced of any one view of eschatology?

You two are trying to make me question the last vestige of my sanity aren't you?

I'll find it tomorrow when I have more time.

It's nice to think that I, also other Christians, ascend while Jesus nukes sinful earth with fire and fury!

What is your approximate age?

I think he's nine. We should have pitched in and gotten him some Tonka toys at Christmas.

Give me an idea what you think I said. Or, did you have me confused with...

Jim is more interested in getting his impression of Christianity from Left Behind movies than what the Bible actually says.

I tried to do a search for me ever even mentioning the Left Behind series, and came up empty.

That quote is the one I thought you made and that KG had agreed with.

Time for new glasses...

I think this is pretty much the answer to my question....

I'd say the terminology is unconventional, not incorrect.

I'd think that's the general consensus I'm getting.

Um, Jim, this is in Christianity 101. Given that you have been mentioned, I think CP would probably allow you in the thread but you cannot be argumentative about Christian belief here.

CP, if you're satisfied that you have your answer, I'd like to recommend moving the thread.

Jim was not responding to anything said to him or even about him - he was simply snarking at OBP in particular, and Christians in general, mocking Christianity.

I think I got the answer I was looking for, so, as far as I'm concerned, the thread can be closed.

Yep, thanks Tea, my bad. Mistook it for my own thread of which this is an offshoot.

[The Remonstrant]

Boy, you guys and your religion sure have some imaginative beliefs. Sure would be fun to fly, eh? Will you get a pair of wings along with the your resurrection, or do you just think yourselves into flight?

Is scoffing at Christian theistic beliefs a common form of entertainment for you?
