This is a video, nearly 6 mins, and there's a Transcript.

(For the purposes of this Headline topic, it is assumed there is a Heaven... if you want to argue that, start a new thread. Thanks.)

It turns out Rev had a bit more to say about this:

"Don't Pee in the Water!"

You keep saying that, and I keep wondering what it means... and if personal experience is universal.

Thanks for the thoughtful responses... I'm at the local Mexican restaurant picking up some heavenly enchiladas verdes. Talk later!

A lot of Christians in the Western church don't get that Jesus became the Sabbath and the Tabernacle (home) of God... and that now ALL the land is holy, not just Israel.

The "soul going to Heaven' was being taught in first century Palestine... but by Platonists, not Christians.

Christians taught the "new creation'; God returning to unite heaven and earth into one new earth.

Opinion noted.

And I won't ask you to prove a negative. Or to read #1.

Have you ever considered anger management classes?

Or perhaps a few seconds with Oxford's Prof Emeritus of Pure Mathematics, aka Group Theory aka Abstract Algebra... will make make you think there might be other valid opinions than your own?

Heliumrat doesn't know the Rapture from a hole in the ground...

It signifies going up and out to meet JC and escorting him back.

But give HR a break... he was raised by the Greys.

Speaking of AI...

AI Overview

N.T. Wright does not adhere to a standard pre-tribulation or post-tribulation rapture view; instead, he interprets Matthew 24 as referring to the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD rather than a future, universal cosmic event.

He believes that the "second coming" of Christ is not a singular event but a gradual revelation of God's presence that began with the resurrection and ascension. Therefore, for Wright, the concept of a "rapture" before or after a tribulation period is not a central focus of his eschatology."

In the story, the reason that the new Temple is the breaking point is that Jesus is now the Temple, the home of God, and, "There Can Be Only One!".

It's two years old now, and there's lots more at the sight. Including "12 More Ways" and the more complicated 10 Horns, which ID's the 4th Reich... and it am us. (Pogo, sort of)

site, sheesh

- Bringing up science in the context of a Creator is rubbish.

Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris... on lines 1, 2, 3, and 4 for you.

The argument he made was logic, not science; would you trust your phone if you knew it was the, "result of a mindless, unguided process"?

Agreed.

Perhaps Quaaludes, then? Do they still make those, I wonder.

- bible myths

Ah, more opinions, eh? If you are going to have so many of them, it's a shame you are so opposed to other people having them, too.

I, for one, go out of my way to say things like, 'in the story' and such, just to try not to offend people who disagree with my opinions.

But then, I know mine are opinions, and tend not to get so angry and vile with those who happen not to agree.

- Why did he bring up scientists, specifically?

Perhaps because he's publicly debated all those now defunct 'New Atheists' I listed above.

- Windows? Fuck, no!

ha! I just looked at Debian and that's pretty cool.

I've been pissed about MAGA for years now if only because I can't wear my vintage Red Hat Linux cap now!

Argument-free opinions are the bestest kind!

Other passages, such as Zechariah 12:10 and the price of betrayal, are also seen as prophecies fulfilled in Jesus' experience.
