It'll Be Awkward for the Rapture Folk - John Fugelsang

1. Hopefully the Coronavirus will have taken care of Stephen Miller by then

n/t

[agingdem]

5. I really hope there's a g-d

I'm jewish and as a jew we really don't believe in heaven or hell...we make our heaven or hell on earth...ashes to ashes dust to dust..however I want there to be an exception for Stephen Miller that reptilian self hating Jew...I want a special hell for that sonofabitch...

[Butterflylady]

18. I am not a religious person whatsoever,

But I do believe we create heaven or hell here and now. And right now it's hell on earth.

[agingdem]

21. yes it is but..

we have to establish a new normal or at least a new different...and we have to get rid of the orange cretin and his sycophants in the House and Senate...we can't live hunkered down..I don't want another 50's bomb shelter generation..if we have to wear masks and velcro hand sanitizers to our clothes so be it...but first and foremost I think we have to get Biden in and establish the scientific protocols that Obama had in place and reconnect to the rest of the world...and once we do that then we can move forward

[demigoddess]

28. I believe everyone goes to heaven but they get a lesson

in where they were wrong when they get there. Told my sister in law that I hoped her father got a good chewing out when he arrived in heaven. She screamed with laughter. (Crazy Christian)

[wnylib]

11. Well, since his wife has it, there is

a reasonably good chance that he will get it.

[DownriverDem]

17. Love John

How many folks know his mother is an ex nun and his father was an ex brother?

[mikewv]

2. Amen. (nm)

[TomCADem]

30. I Think Many Evangelicals Would Freak If They Saw Jesus...

...and he looked like a guy from the middle east, which he was.

?fit=scale

[Johnnie Mae]

34. Truthfully

Hi it's me again, the evangelical. You have exactly described the Jesus of the Christian Bible. Except this, his hair is described as wooly, like my wooly hair. He was a very different man from the monsters of our federal govt. You are so right. He would not b accepted today. He would be lynched, shot or at least kept out of the "good" neighborhoods. Oh the irony of it all.

[lame54]

3. As long as he wears a mask

[Midnight Writer]

4. Not awkward at all. They'll simply handle him same as in the past and then declare themselves saved.

I never understand how God sends his only Holy Son to live among us, we torture and kill the guy, and this is somehow a righteous act that saves our souls?

[Alex4Martinez]

6. Don't go jogging in Georgia, Mr. Jesus.

Just shelter in place.

I got a spare room...

[Augiedog]

7. They will just crucify him again. Just more strange fruit.

[warmfeet]

8. The trumpists will lynch him, or shoot him on site.

They will lie about the circumstances of the shooting and be fully exonerated by the authorities.

Not awkward at all. Just another day.

Ho-hum.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

9. Not to worry. Under those conditions Jesus will have no voice and....

anything he/she says will never be heard...........

[IronLionZion]

10. COVID-19 is the rapture

and Jesus is taking a lot of black and brown people

[Johnnie Mae]

35. Wrong Killer

Satan, not Jesus is the killer.

[IronLionZion]

37. I like telling evangelicals that this is the rapture. Some of them believe it

The rapture is an eschatological concept of certain Christians, particularly within branches of American evangelicalism, consisting of an end-time event when all Christian believers who are alive, along with resurrected believers, will rise "in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air."

12. The rapture was not part of Christian theology till the 19th century

It was invented by John Nelson Darby.

[Susan Calvin]

14. I'm happy to hear that as I kind of like Jesus

Is the rumor that he invented hell false as well?

[sprinkleeninow]

25. Not a 'hell' per se. An eternal state of being without God. But, actually being aware of Him. eom

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. I think the word hell comes from Norse mythology

It's actually a frozen place.

[Susan Calvin]

32. And it has frozen over?

[sprinkleeninow]

24. Exactly correct. A new-fangled 'doctrine' contrived when you stated.

Original Christianity perverted and multitudes of sheeple eat it up.

God help us all and have mercy according to Your Great Mercies!

[Susan Calvin]

13. I've heard this before, but

It bears repeating. Frequently

[keithbvadu2]

15. Many of his followers believe Jesus was a Christian.

Many of his followers believe Jesus was a Christian.

He never was.

[sprinkleeninow]

26. And that He was/is white/Caucasian/European looking.

The Western notion of Him in their 'pictures' throws them off the truth.

God forbid the Eastern Orthodox use ikonography depicting Him and all others. Windows into Heaven. Not fabricated misleading versions of Him and all sacred others.

[keithbvadu2]

33. What ethnicity was Jesus? It depends on whose wall his portrait is hanging.

What ethnicity was Jesus?

It depends on whose wall his portrait is hanging.

[Johnnie Mae]

36. Ethnicity?

Jesus of Nazarene, born n Galilee which is n Israel. In other words we are not told. At least that's what I believe. Anyway He is all of us. When it comes to the 'gift' He has given me I don't care where He's from. I mean I'd like to know, but in the scheme of things that pales in importance. Wherever He's from, I'm on my way to heaven & eternal life and away from these Pharisees forever.

[keithbvadu2]

38. He was human. He had an ethnicity.

He was human. He had an ethnicity.

[struggle4progress]

16. Woody Guthrie

[Harker]

22. The subtitles botched "Judas Iscariot" badly. n/t

[Lock him up.]

19. I know who Jesus was, but one thing I'm not sure of...

… was Christ his family name?

Father: God Christ?
Mother: Mary ? Christ?

Wattabout Joseph's??

[DFW]

20. Well assuming he really existed in the first place

That's what Jesus was the first time around, so this isn't really any kind of departure from the original.

(Talk about being stuck in a rut!)

[sprinkleeninow]

23. When Christ Jesus returns as He promised He would, and this which 'the dumphumping bible thumping

believers' are waiting for, some of them, seeing Him as He is, will shout Him down--calling Him a fake, a scam and a hoax.

Then the veritable stones will cry out!!

[demigoddess]

27. or a long haired radical socialist jew!

[noneof_theabove]

31. how to shut down a rapturist at knee caps

I happened on March 26, 1997 and only 39 were saved.

Those who don't pay attention to history are doomed to repeat it.
Congress needs to up Social Security & welfare payments because there is a large amount of people that are too poor to pay attention.
