Even by the standards of Fundie wackiness, this is some kind of weird peak:

One statistic that is worth reviewing is the 9 passes for 136 yards that Tebow made. As pointed out 9 is the number for finality and the end. This number is the reason that I started bloging in 2008 when I saw a license plate 999 GOD that I interpreted a message from God to me to start going all out in what I thought and knew about prophecy. I ask Him for confirmation of this fact and was given it in the following days. The whole story can be read in my first posts in this blog.

The total yards of 136 has the same three numbers as 316 and as such it can also be interpreted to refer to the 316.

Mathman and Ron are both correct in identifying Obama as the Antichrist and Mathman’s observation about the message being given to the Jews was very good and valid.

That is, unless the gods of the board leave something up saying what's happened.

Skinner's explanation for why they have done this is succinct and educational.

I would guess he will put that up.

Anyway, what a great way to get lots of attention from people that might otherwise not know about this.

This law is pretty dreadful and DU in particular has good reason to do whatever we need to to oppose it.

The gods of the board are good guys, imo. Very good guys.

a young girl "discovered it" in the middle of the 19th Century. Until then, the teaching of The Church was always that the Rapture happens when Jesus Christ returns...not prior to the Tribulation.
