I understand that. But which moderator called you antisemitic?Jac3510 wrote:Antisemitism is a racism (in the actual sense of the word), and that by definition.

I would say that there is more going here than just slipping your mind. It's more like you are acting on impulse without really reading what I'm saying. I haven't been a moderator for many months now.Jac3510 wrote:It slipped my mind that g is no longer a mod.

These are quite comical words.. But then again this isn't the first time this has happened before. Just because you believe in the "rapture" it doesn't make you antisemitic although these words can be hurtful to the Jewish people. You are simply trying to build a straw man. I use to believe in the rapture too before I started seeing how weak the belief truly is. Does that make me antisemitic too? 
Again, I don't believe this has anything to do with one's salvation.. If you want to wait out in some field for this rapture thing, then please, go ahead and enjoy it. I just see other things in scripture here that don't line up with it. And if it doesn't happen the way you think it might, there may be consequences for that. In other words, don't marry this rapture theory, also examine the message it sends to other people like the Jewish people.B. W. wrote:You know,
...even some Christians will not make the rapture either and there is some very good scriptural support for this as well too...
P.S. Two plowing in the same field - one taken the other left. Two grinding at the same mill - one taken the other left. Same field - same mill and add to this Revelation chapters 2 and 3 and only one out of the 7 are promised what?

Jac... Please calm down. Take a big breath and read what I wrote. Now you are over reacting. Again.. I never said that the rapture is antisemitic. I said that the "belief" of it has antisemitic overtones, but believing in it does not make one antisemitic. It's the same thing when you attack someone's theology, such as the Catholic faith, and now all the sudden you are prejudiced against Catholics. Sorry, that simply does not work.Jac3510 wrote: If you think the rapture is antisemitic, then you are calling everyone who holds to the rapture a racist. Just because you don't want to take your own assertions to their necessary and logical conclusion doesn't mean that you get to pretend like those conclusions don't exist and that they don't follow.
Further, if you believe that the rapture is antisemitic, then yes, you were a racist when you held to the rapture. To say you weren't would be like saying, "Hey, I used to think that slavery was okay too before I saw how weak its justification really is. But that doesn't mean I was a racist!" Yes. Yes it does. Of course, I don't think you were a racist antisemite because I don't think that the rapture is a racist, antisemitic idea. YOU are the one throwing that absurd accusation around. And then you want to come back and talk about us as "the 'rapture' police" and smearing the idea as our "sacred theology"? And you mock by casting it in terms of being "beamed away from all this"? You really that mockery is an appropriate response?
I'm glad I said it because it is the truth. In fact I'm going to say it more. And you should be ashamed of your silly rapture theory too. This doctrine is very hurtful to the Jewish people. Floating away on some cloud from your leather coach while the Jews face another holocaust? If that is what you believe then I have pity for you. Seriously.Jac3510 wrote: it's not. It's disgusting.
Uncle Klown has asked us to play nice. I can't play nice with hateful, venomous people. So I won't say any more in this thread. The only reason I said anything in the first place was to point out how incredibly disgusting that kind of language is. You should be ashamed.
Foe'd.
Sorry, Rick. I'm done now.
