Man, I feel like an idiot for reading that crap. Sad thing is, when someone posted with like seven minutes left of the Bengals/Jets last night that the Bengals would get a safety, followed by 4 pick sixes in a row, and then nail a field goal in overtime to win it....that made more sense and was less dreamy than this guy. The world will end when it ends. I'd rather wait for the surprised and not plan my life around it.
That is true, I believe it was back in the early 1900's and then again in the 1960?? I wonder if the rapture event is even in the bible???
rapture has come to mean a lot of different things...but that word wasn't even used until the 19th century. just understand there are Christians who read the bible very differently as to that sort of stuff, and I think you're covered.
Is it sad that my first thought was "Knowing my luck, that'll be the playoffs that the Nuggets really get it going and appear to have the title locked up"?
According to the article, the number 5 comes up a lot when the Bible is talking about atonement. If the Bible is divine, I'm with him on this part -- every number is probably meaningful. I'm okay with saying atonement is associated with the number 5. But, then making up a formula to calculate a date (one that is conveniently close at hand -- imagine if he told his cult the rapture would come on May 21, 3491) is some dumb numerology.
I see the jokes all the time about so and so will stop an asteroid or this guy will save the day and blow up the ship or whatever. But bottom line is, if something is going to happen to bring the world to an end, there wont be any survivors.
It will in about 6 billion years when the Sun starts to die and goes Nova it will absorb the earth. DD
I wonder if my home owners insurance will cover that? :grin: This just in ... Biblical Scientists have discovered that the Earth is indeed flat and that the Sun revolves around it.
