Like I've tried to express to you time and time again, though, it's not, as you would put it, the "fathers" on whose every Word I hang.Priests have nothing to do with my bible exegesis. Catholicism, for all its flaws due to human error, still retains the traditional CHRISTIAN understanding of the bible. THAT is why we do NOT say there is a pre-trib rapture in the bible.

"Bacc dosen't know these things, his great fathers[...]they can build a great kingdom here on earth, with great wealth, a great 'vatican city' I am sorry no one as intelligent as bacc, can be so blind!He chooses not to understand, he has been fed the RCC hogwash about being the only church for so long."We don't try to establish kingdoms on earth. We help other people & the only thanks we sometimes get is the false accusation that we spew nothing but "hogwash."Thanks, dimel...

"unfortunaltey the RCC leaders did not permit you to read the bible, and follow the teachings of Paul, so the church you call RCC would have been well informed...erroeous views of the RCC, will lead many to hell" Erroneous views of what RCC actually stands for are very sad. Try to look beyond the anti-CATHOLIC bigotry & please discover the that there is a possibility that there is some SOME validity in the RCC.

...and I said you were being TOO black-and-white, dimel. You should consider the possibility that, if someone has a different interpretation of scripture from the interpretation that you have, that the other interpretation might ALSO be valid, despite thae fact that it's coming from a Catholic.Like I said before, IT'S not just Catholics who disgree with your pre-trib rapture interpretation. Mainline Protestants, YES your fellow Protestants, ALSO disagree with you.

"2Peter 3:3 Scoffers will come saying, where is the promise of His coming...YOU Oh great one are falling into that category.If you would study scripture more and stop taking the 'fathers' word for it you would know more.You are so intelligent (more than the rest of us) surely you can do YOUR OWN STUDY and come to some facsimile of the truth from scripture." I'm no scoffer. I try & introduce a different Christian view-point, one that's been with Christianity from the beginning.

"The Rapture is believed by alot more than the minority you are talking about...when you subtract the RCC which you call Christian, and which makes up about 51% or more of the population you call Christian...the numbers are actually bigger for those who actually believe what the bible says about the rapture" It's very disturbing that you would redefine "Christian" in terms that exclude the Roman Catholic Church like that! If it weren't for the RCC, you wouldn't even have the word "rapture."

"I thought people could look around when all this stuff started and KNOW.The spirit of anti-christ has them blind!"That's a HORRIBLE thing to say about Catholics, dimel. Instead of jumping to the conclusion that people who disagree with you are a manifestation of the anti-Christ, PLEASE I'm begging you to consider the possibility that people who disagree with you, but STILL believe in Christ, are people whose disagreements might have at least SOME validity.

"Study for yourself, you study everything else." UUUGGHHH!!! didn't I already respon to that before. You are IMPROPERLY assuming that, since I don't interpret scripture the same as you, I don't read it at all. I do study it and that is I can tell there's no rapture.It is black and white, dimel. I can tell one thing about bible exegesis. If you're reading the bible and finding a pre-trib rapture, then you're not doing it right.
