Does anyone else believe this

[JaneBanks]

Uhh...no!

There are some really funny misspelled words in this thread.

I noticed, too. Could be the spell check. My iPhone comes up with weirdest words.

Does this have anything to do with Blondie?

Ive got a mortgage payment due on the 15th.. Does mean I can skip it? I can always use the money to buy something Id really love to enjoy for the last week or so....

While, in general, I believe anything is possible, I don't believe this and here's why.

I read through Harold Camping's work on how he came up with the date, and it was mathematically flawed. I've also read many discussions on this by biblical scholars who also say the math is flawed.

I'm a Christian (Catholic) and we go by the scripture that says we know not the time or the hour of the "rapture".

Not discussing religious beliefs, though, just telling what the catholic church teaches from what's in the Bible.

Don't be worried. Camping's analysis of dates is incorrect, I promise.

What exactly is the rapture?

Glad you mentioned it. This thread title put that song in my head.

Maybe it's the day they allow religious posts.

As a result, we are announcing a new policy on the DISboards, effective immediately: POLITICS AND RELIGION are no longer acceptable topics of discussion here.

Paraphrasing here, but "No man knoweth the hour, not even the Son."

I wonder why these folks claim to know the date/time of the rapture?

 

[fall08CP]

HUH? You are saying that they are basing this prediction on the Left Behind books? People do realize that these books are fictional books based on the authors' interpertation of what the Bible says? IF it mentions 2011 (and I would have to go back and read and check), that would be the fictional part.

Authors interpretation being the key phrase. Would love to discuss this further, but don't want to get points.


I don't think anything will happen on May 21, but it's a possibility. I'm not worried about it, but there's so much in life I have yet to do! But heaven, I'm sure, would be worth it

For real. If they were real believers, they would know that no one can predict. But you can't make that moolah unless you scare people into thinking "the end is near".

The Bible tell us who the real believers are:
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Kind of strange that it's also the "take your kids to the park and leave them" day. (per another thread)

Perhaps that is the source?

One of my co-workers believes.

Of course this is the same lady who was paranoid when her kid said "***** cat" on the soccer field because she was convinced he was saying a nasty term. She also was upset when she went to Wal-mart to get her kid some cupcakes and all they had was rainbow cupcakes, she thought all the other kids would think her son was gay.

So, you'll forgive me if I think she's a bit off.

Oh, and no...I don't believe...in anything.

Oh my I would say your co-worker is more than a bit off.

Is is sick that I've gotten a couple of good belly laughs from this thread?

 

[Handbag Lady]

I don't believe it will be that day. I remember the one that was to be in the 1980's. We had a party and baked a cake!
