People think they see a face on something (water towers, glass doors, potatoes, toast) and automatically it has to be Jesus or Mary. Why not Joseph? Or the Pope? Or President Obama for that matter? <br /><br />Maybe it wouldn't be a miracle if it wasn't Jesus or Mary?<br /><br />Weird, huh?Pastor Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510081361292855641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-30603878559466125502009-04-29T07:40:00.000-07:002009-04-29T07:40:00.000-07:00Great stuff, Fran, but I think all the cars will b...Great stuff, Fran, but I think all the cars will be wrecked if the bumper sticker on my sister's car is true...

This describes the history of interpretations of Revelation, dispensationalism, the crazy movements in our time etc. <br /><br />It was produced in the summer of 1999. Would be good to have an update of this apocalyptic religious movement since then.John Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798753206614838161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-6091815059432489262009-04-29T03:10:00.000-07:002009-04-29T03:10:00.000-07:00That's one great "god" - the one that tosses off ...That's one great "god" - the one that tosses off that lightning bolt o' rapture and says to the rest... Suckas!<br /><br />What crap ass theology and what a crap ass god this shows. <br /><br />It feeds into every truly awful dynamic of humanity - who can we exclude to make ourselves feel better.<br /><br />As usual, it becomes all about "us" ("us" being those do-goody types who got raptured away) and so little about "god." <br /><br />"See," they say, "I was a good little sunbeam for Jesus and I got toast AND raptured." And Jesus barely had to lift a finger.<br /><br />BTW, I am with you John, where were all the piles of clothes. Frankly I am awaiting a quieter and more peaceful place once this happens. Plus I might score some new clothes and maybe even a good car. That is our reward for not being good sunbeams, so to speak!!! See you when things are way less crowded!!!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-25025404577690050692009-04-28T13:56:00.000-07:002009-04-28T13:56:00.000-07:00Well, if you needed one more sign of the end times...Well, if you needed <I>one more sign</I> of the end times, here it is:<br />http://www.npr.org/blogs/politicaljunkie/2009/04/ap_reports_sen_arlen_specter_t.html?sc=fb&cc=fpSnadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055786911610974637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-35001150982900557192009-04-28T09:37:00.000-07:002009-04-28T09:37:00.000-07:00Many, many years ago, I used to attend a "bible-be...Many, many years ago, I used to attend a "bible-believing" Baptist church, and I believed all this dispensational sh--.

How interesting...<br /><br />Anyway, as for the toast, I'm seeing Daniel Day-Lewis and Marlene Dietrich more than anything. <br /><br />As for the video, it seemed that everyone who was raptured was wearing a white shirt. Hmmmm. I only have one white shirt. What are the odds the Rapture will occur when my one white shirt is 1) clean, and 2) on my back?Snadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04055786911610974637noreply@blogger.com
