Janet Parshall: Ebola Is Part Of God's End Times Judgment
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 8/12/2014 1:30 pm
Religious Right talk radio host Janet Parshall stopped by the American Family Association show Todays Issues yesterday to discuss the recent outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. According to Parshall, Ebola, the conflict in Ukraine, and violence in the Mideast are all messages from God telling us that the End Times are near: God gives us a warning, another warning, another warning, another warning because he is a gentleman God.

(65,616 posts)No, of course not...how can these people be SO FUCKING STUPID as to not even know that the Rapture isn't even MENTIONED in the Bible?! They must read the Scofield Reference Bible, kidding, no doubt making up compounding stories is easy for a pathological liar like Parshall.

1 Corinthians 15:20-23, But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christs at His coming.
1 Cor. 15:51-52, Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
Just saying ...

Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

http://agnosticreview.com/debates16.htm
Most loop holes have cults built around them. I stop when ever I hear a religious person say "what jesus meant here is
" Says who, says I.
This part is talking about when will he return,i.e. .rapture. I leave it at that.

(32,675 posts)(John 2:18, Matthew 16:28, Matthew 24:34, entire book of Revelations) and that was almost 2,000 years ago made by a doomsday cult of the time.
This is only how I see it. I feel everyone is free to see it anyway they wish.

(31,849 posts)"what jesus meant here is
", No?
I am a solid "I don't know, nor is it important to me" sojourning agnostic that has spent considerable time studying religious doctrine ... so I have heard/read/discussed many different "meanings" of many passages.

(46,327 posts)Face it, it's been more than 2000 years now.
There isn't going to be any "Rapture" or "Endtimes."
There are a lot of religions where the head prophet said he/she would return after dying.
