How does gambling, playing occult computer games, keeping silent while Jesus Christ is blasphemed, listening to rock music, defending President Bush's occult affiliations, drinking alcohol, participating in coarse, unclean conversation and unholy jesting and engaging in all kinds of worldliness make a Christian "rapture ready"? It doesn't.

Todd Strandberg's Rapture Ready Ready Message Board, which consistently conditions Christians to partake of these and other sins, has an agenda to make it certain that Christians are not rapture ready. Their stated agenda is the opposite of their actual purpose as evidenced by their message board content. Much worldly and anti-Christian content is backed or ignored by the administration. Either way, the kingdom of God is being undermined, rather than advanced through the individuals who run this message board.

Relativism is the theme of the Rapture Ready Message Board: how a Christian feels while he is participating in behavior that violates biblical principles determines whether it is right or wrong. If he feels comfortable gambling, then he may gamble. If he feels comfortable drinking, then he may drink, if he feels comfortable playing occult computer games or typically sinful movies then he indulges, etc. As long as things don't get out of hand, conforming-to-the-world is promoted as being harmless and rather enjoyable. This is called giving place to the devil, and the Rapture Ready administrators and backers offer plenty of rationalizations to "help" the Christian justify getting off and staying off the narrow way that leads to life.

The Bible describes the grace that brings salvation. This grace teaches Christians to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. These are the Christians who are actively "looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." (See Titus 2:11-13)

[In response to the assertion that the Bible says nothing about gay marriage.]

Ok so now you are showing your own ignorance. Rather than looking for the word marriage, try finding the workd WIFE!! Hum.... I don't see those who aren't married walking around saying my wife did this my wife did that. No they say my Girlfriend or use other words to suggesting a significant other but not wife. So ya in turn, the bible does talk about marriage.

[Someone asked him to give an example of a society being destroyed by gay marriage and homosexuality.]


I'm sorry I can't give concrete examples other than ancient Rome or Greece (whichever it was) and Sodom and Gomorrah. I don't know of any modern examples, sorry.

[several posts all in one, she was just too good to miss]

Look, this is not a MYOB matter.

As long as the LGTB (Lesbian, Bay, Transexual Bigender) (oh, and also Heterosexual men who have sex with men, and Cross Dressers) Community continues their legal bully of ANYONE with moral beliefs ---not just the LDS folk---we have a problem.

When the ACLU and other LGTB organizations continue to :
• legally bully photographers into photographing them, even though it violates the photographer's religious beliefs
• leagally bully churches into allowing their gazebos to be used
•deny freedom of speech to the citizens of Canada (anyone who speaks out against homosexual practices in print is fined)
•pass laws like SB777 in CA mandating that children k-12 be immersed in material exposing them to a variety of sexual options

LOOK FOLKS, it isn't just about you anymore. It's starting to be an encroachment on my rights as a parent and my religious freedom.

Stop the passing of laws that infringe upon my rights.

I met someone who was gay recently and he agrees with me. If this radical infringement does not stop, it can only hurt the LGTB community.

[in a later post]

The solution, of course, is to just be angry with anyone with moral or religious thought. You are as bigoted as the bigots you point your finger at.

As for evolution, I don't have a problem with it being taught. Charles Darwin was a brilliant scientist.

As for global warming, check out Google Video's "The Great Global Warming Swindle" which interviews only a sampling of the thousands of climatologists who do not agree with the political hypermania called global warming. Be careful when you say "widely accepted by the scientific community" Because that is not the case.

Science is a process, but it flourishes in a free community, in which scientists are allowed to have a free exchange of ideas and share their data with each other. If they are politically gagged, the truth cannot be derived.

Same with the ongoing discussion as to weather the re-defining of centuries-old and millenia-old marriage by four activist judges in CA is a wise idea.

[one more nugget of brilliance]

You are wrong about that. It's not just us ignorant, Bible-totin' folk that embrace that oh-so-outdated and archaic notion of heterosexual marriage. It's in every culture since the dawn of time, and redefining it now to suit our own urges and proclivities is simply a short-winded experiment.
