"Rapture Ready" folks all atwitter at Sharon's possible passing...
Edited on Thu Jan-05-06 08:37 PM by Bluebear
"I couldn't sleep last night. I heard about Sharon's condition on the news right before I went to bed. That was it for me. I just could not get settled down. I felt such an urgency to be awake and waiting. I'm kind of like the rest of you, I don't know what to expect as far as prophecy on this one. Will it slow things down or speed things up? I guess it depends on if someone else, like Netanyahu, takes over. There are a lot of variables that will affect what happens.
Lots to think about today.

But, like Living for Christ said above, we need to be praying for Sharon that he accepts Christ as his savior before he passes." (Note: THAT could happen.)

"I think it is interesting how incorrect the newcasters were with the coal mining accident...you almost don't know what to believe any more...which is another way I think that God is warning us to look only to HIM and to the bible for our news, the newscasters are just reporting rumors now..."

"I think that what is happening to Sharon at the very beginning of 2006 is showing us that 2006 will be a year full of major evnt type end-time indicators. I think things are definitely speeding up. Like the birth pangs, it may soon be time to push!"

6. That's because he's being given time to accept Jesus
Oh, and about making the Bible your only news source, I'm wondering if the Bible also has sports, weather, and stock quote sections. It would be pretty convenient to have a single source for all knowledge, you know.

7. What in the world ! How far over the edge have these people gone?
"we need to be praying for Sharon that he accepts Christ as his savior before he passes" !?!?!

Based on everything I have heard, the mans brain is very very damaged and he has little chance of ever thinking about anything, much less Christ the savior before he dies.

How about we hope (pray) he lives the rest of his days in good old fashioned peace and comfort?

14. Selfish selfish
They should be praying he's okay and his family and people who care about him. Not their selfish ideals. It's people like this who make me sometimes ashamed to be Christian in this country. *sigh* :(

8. Won't they all be surprised ...
... when Jebus lands the big ole' Rapture Jet and stops all of THEM at the gate because they don't pass the true believers 'test' that the Bible referred to and they find out theyr're on the No Fly List ? (ie - "10 Commandments ? Know 'em ? Live 'em ? Didn't think so. You shall not pass. Thanks for playing, enjoy your time in hell.")

9. Whether or not Sharon actually "accepts Christ as his savior"...
... before he dies is irrelevant.

The fundie nutbars will claim he did anyway.

That's one of their favorite memes: everyone converts on their death-bed, to hear them tell it.

:eyes:

34. That's such a good point!
Fundamentalists are very selfish. It's all about them. I'm convinced that they use being "saved" as a way to feel superior to others, because most of 'em frankly have very little going on that would make a person feel good about themselves. Get saved and it's instant self-esteem! And you don't have to do anything for it, like work hard or improve your own behavior.

They claim their stance is all about faith, but it's really about "Jesus loves me, so I'm better than you!" Or as Betty Bowers, World's Best Christian says: God told me to hate you!

And by the way, just what DOES the Bible have to say about the recent coal mininig accident? They say that we should be looking there for our news, since the newscasters reporting is so crappy. I wonder if the Bible had better reporting about the event. Could prove to be a valuable new source.

25. This part is pretty smart
"I think it is interesting how incorrect the newcasters were with the coal mining accident...you almost don't know what to believe any more...which is another way I think that God is warning us to look only to HIM and to the bible for our news, the newscasters are just reporting rumors now..."

This part is actuall pretty smart... they should look to God and the bible instead of people like Robertson. No human influences!

31. These people have no shame. As other posters have said
Its in extremely poor taste for them to be salivating over this man's misfortune for their own warped religious jollies. They sicken me with this crap. It is an insult to Sharon's family and to all Jews in general.

38. I did that once
about a year ago someone posted another hilarious thread from Rapture Ready and I thought it was so good for laffs that I'd keep going. After one or two I wasn't laughing so much, there is a really high proportion of people there who are not just deluded fundies but clearly in need of mental help, it was actually pretty sad.

35. amazing isn't it that they will take as gospel the rantings of a man
who hated Rome 2000 years ago. They wouldn't even let him into their house to use the can if he came by. I personally hope they got it all wrong and when the rapture happens, they all go down and not up. More room for the rest of us. BRING ON THE RUPTURE!
