RE: That Day will come as a trap on all the world

Sounds like Prof. is shooting for the pure sacrificial servant route. Hows your relationship with your father, professor?
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

It doesn't have quite as good a success rate as penicillin, though.

Professor, now that rapture hasn't happened (and who knows it won't happen for another 2000 years, LOL), can you tell us what is your reaction to an atheist who says, "God doesn't exist. People who believe are either delusional or wasting their time". What's your reaction - does that lead you to reflect and question your own beliefs or do you have a knee-jerk reaction that all atheists are plain wrong on this?

Luckie, my dad made it.
About 25 years ago I got a call from Mom to take him to the hospital, he went into a coma there and was gone.
My mom is always ticked at Dad for escaping so may troubling times that she has been thru.
She is 92 and wants to go home (heaven).
The Rapture can't happen fast enough for her.
At one time, we were a poster family for dis-function.
The unique thing about goofed up people is (unlike most well balanced people from happy families)-
we had strong motivation to find the heavy duty answers to life's questions.

So the rapture is the everyday occurrence of a person dying?

No Pocaracas,
That event for people alive during this age (as differentiated from the age to come- the Millennium under the rule of Messiah) is a one shot deal.
This age terminates at the 2nd Coming.
There will be another translation event at the end of the Millennium (a thousand years from now) for those who are alive then, prior to the new heavens and earth.
Remember, I noted there is a Rapture event for each age (or Epoch) for a total of 4 for the complete 7 thousand year plan of God.
Enoch, Elijah, the Christians (who are ready), then at the end of the Millennium- the alive in Christ.

My wife had her third and fourth coming just yesterday before dinner. Although she claims each was apocalyptic -and I believe her - the effects of the successive apocalypses upon the subsequent world seem to have been minimal. She still made me do dishes.

Then swap out penicillin for insulin, or digitalis, or any other medicinal compound (cue Lily The Pink in 3... 2... 1...)
I understand the relevance of the platitude, but I question its medical merit.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Chuck, your image just dropped 15 points.
"She made me do the dishes"?
You are going to need to do a lot to catch back up to the front of the pack.
Chas sucked me in to search Jocelyn. Yikes.
I would not make fun of anyone that mentally messed up.
Kinda reminds me of Michael what's his name.
Little Monkey, you want me to throw out the baby with the bath water?
Are you on drugs?
Nothing has changed, except one high watch date has come and gone.
Now I hear RH is on Yom Kippur this year because of the Jubilee.
All I know is, when that train comes I will be on it.
