Different 'types' of Christianity

[Quahom1]

OMG

that is like the funniest thing i have seen on here in weeks.
i know what you mean, is not what you mean, but i know what you mean.

"...I know you think you believe you understand what I said, but I'm not sure you realise, that what you heard, was not what I meant..."

I eh, have this posted on my office wall, with a finger pointing to it.

Kindest Regards!

I am pleased my comment was found amusing.

However, I said what I meant and I meant what I said. What got overlooked in my statement of extremes is all the the stuff "up to"...and that is where St. Augustine's principles come in. Try everything peaceable first, then discussion, then defense if a blow is given to you, then pre-emptive if defense is insufficient, and ONLY as a very last resort does one send another to meet their maker. It is similar at a personal level to that of a national level, except a person cannot (legally) declare war on a government. Interpersonal wars go on all the time. Even when peace is the desired goal. I like the way Max Ehrman said it, "as much as lieth in you, without surrender, be on good terms with all people." (my emphasis)

BTW, Q,

Love that quote! Haven't heard it in a very long time.

I also like the one about stress:

Stress is, the confusion created when one's mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the living sh*t out of some a**hole who desperately needs it!!!

Good thing I'm not too stressed, eh?

Bandit, don't step on the damn thing! You put your helmet over it and pray like hell that when it blows up and out, that you are down and inside (below), it's blast zone. You also pray that your helmet will absorb most of the blast.

Talk about "armor" protecting us...

Go get the Latin Volgate, and you'll see the word "Rapturo" which is a translation of the word "Harpazo" in the Greek.

I think you mean Vulgate. And since the original manuscripts were not written in Latin, I am not sure why I would want to take a sidetrack to try to support an unfounded theory. The trip from Greek to English is difficult enough not to confuse the matter further with Latin. (No offense to our Catholic brothers and sisters here)

I will research the Vulgate if you will research Margaret MacDonald. (Might be McDonald, I forget) circa 1820.

The english word "rapture" is just a theological word we use to describe the "Catching up," or "Rapturo."

I understand what it means. I also understand where it came from. Which is why I avoid it like the plague. To each their own. I prefer guidance from my God, not from a self-proclaimed prophet with a fitful dream and a couple of gypsy ministers taking advantage of a nation full of grieving widows.

Kindest Regards, Q!

Et tu Juan?

No thanks, I already et.

Non pesimo, carpe diem.

No pessimism? Seize the day. Of course, after the IRS, I'm a little skittish about siezing much of anything...

Sanctus gia, gai Glorius, Glorius in exchelsius.

Sanctu? = Sanctified? gia = ? gai = ? Glorius = glory, glorified, glorius, (yes?)
Excelcius = most excellent, excelsior?

In Excelsi Deo!

(As you can see, my Latin is horrible!)

Mine's rusty as hell too. Hey, it's been 35 years since I attended Latin Mass...

It should read: "Non pessimo. Sanctus dies , dies Gloria , Gloria in excelsa"

...no ill. Holy day, day of glory, glory in the air/elevations/sky

Jauntoo3,

You should understand that language should not be a barrier to understanding any concept that is established in scripture. Whether a particular English word is or is not found in the Bible is not important. What is important is whether the concept is found. The original language in which the text was written reveals that the concept of a sudden catching up is valid. Also, I really want to get across to you that I believe we can disagree on these none essential theological issues. And because of that, I have nothing to say except that the teaching of the rapture predates Margaret MacDonald, and that you will not really understand the rapture unless you study it from its Jewish roots and perspective.

All that said however, and to be quite honest. Im just happy to be talking with a brother in the Lord.

In Christ,

Proph 1

different cultures, races, languages = different takes on christianity.

 

[Quahom1]

Basic foundation...Jesus saves. Believe, accept and be saved. Pretty simple instruction/invite, don't you think?...

Jauntoo3,

You should understand that language should not be a barrier to understanding any concept that is established in scripture.

People who don't know other languages or aware of other cultures would say something like that. If that was the case, the whole world would be expressing itself in like manner.

Whether a particular English word is or is not found in the Bible is not important.

It means everything. The masses are lead by what they understand the bible is saying. For those who don't just believe everything they hear and want to be lead the right way, it means everything.

What is important is whether the concept is found. The original language in which the text was written reveals that the concept of a sudden catching up is valid. Also, I really want to get across to you that I believe we can disagree on these none essential theological issues. And because of that, I have nothing to say except that the teaching of the rapture predates Margaret MacDonald, and that you will not really understand the rapture unless you study it from its Jewish roots and perspective.

You sound like this guy that was with us some time before... I'm trying to remember what his name is...
