SO, 6/6/6 came and went without incident!!! HA!

[rd_kent]

Another so-called end of the world, blah blah blah event has come and gone. While I really didnt hear as much histeronics as I thought I would, I did hear some over the date. ANyone got any good stories?

[jobycom]

How do you know? Face it, if the Rapture did come, it wouldn't affect

America very much. Only the real Christians are supposed to be taken. There may be a few of those here (someone check on Jimmy Carter), but the majority of Americans wouldn't notice much, and if some real Christians did vanish, the media wouldn't care. It would raise Bush's poll numbers.

2. LOL n/t

[rd_kent]

12. And who, exactly, are the REAL xtians?

And how do you know what a REAL xtian is?

[Silent3]

13. Damn!

I was personally hoping all those Christians who think they'll suddenly disappear one day were right about that part. :evilgrin:

[Neoma]

1. Don't you mean 6/6/06?

:P

[CarbonDate]

14. No Christians will be raptured.

144,000 male virgins, 12,000 each from the 12 tribes of Judea, will be swept up according to Revelation.

Revelation 7
1AFTER THIS I saw four angels stationed at the four corners of the earth, firmly holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind should blow on the earth or sea or upon any tree.(A)
2Then I saw a second angel coming up from the east (the rising of the sun) and carrying the seal of the living God. And with a loud voice he called out to the four angels who had been given authority and power to injure earth and sea,

3Saying, Harm neither the earth nor the sea nor the trees, until we have sealed the bond servants of our God upon their foreheads.(B)

4And I heard how many were sealed (marked) out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: there were 144,000.

5Twelve thousand were sealed (marked) out of the tribe of Judah, 12,000 of the tribe of Reuben, 12,000 of the tribe of Gad,

6Twelve thousand of the tribe of Asher, 12,000 of the tribe of Naphtali, 12,000 of the tribe of Manasseh,

7Twelve thousand of the tribe of Simeon, 12,000 of the tribe of Levi, 12,000 of the tribe of Issachar,

8Twelve thousand of the tribe of Zebulun, 12,000 of the tribe of Joseph, 12,000 of the tribe of Benjamin.

Revelation 14
1THEN I looked, and behold, the Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 who had His name and His Father's name inscribed on their foreheads.
2And I heard a voice from heaven like the sound of great waters and like the rumbling of mighty thunder; the voice I heard of harpists accompanying themselves on their harps.

3And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders the heavenly Sanhedrin]. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from the earth.

4These are they who have not defiled themselves by relations with women, for they are <[c>pure as] virgins. These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These are they who have been ransomed (purchased, redeemed) from among men as the firstfruits for God and the Lamb.

No Christians will be raptured. Jews will be raptured. The entire fundie concept of the rapture is based on faulty understanding of the book of Revelation.

15. Meant to reply to jobycom n/t

3. More neo-medieval silliness from the people...

that brought you talking snakes and directives from burning bushes.

[joefree1]

4. No really, the good Christians did leave

that's big surprise for fundies freaks that haven't realized yet. The rest of us pagans are left to heal the earth. Let's get to work.

6. Wasn't the Antichrist supposed to be born?

Maybe he was and we just don't know it yet. :evilfrown:



:rofl:

9. Oy,

Could that story (if it's even true) be any more contrived? All of the horror story language, everything just happens to be sixes, and then this:

Suzanne went into labour in the early hours and Damien was born shortly after 6am.


Um, 6:59 is not "shortly after" 6am. :eyes:

I'm having real doubts as to the veracity of this story. :shrug:

[MarianJack]

7. Well Yeah, But Wait For...

...Y3K!!!!!!! :scared:

10. 96% Muslim here...

(Egypt). Nobody cared. If you're a strict Muslim it wasn't even 6/6/2006 anyhow. It was 9 Jumada I-Ula, 1427 A.H.(After Hegira). I think.

I've had Egyptians explain the Muslim concept of the Rapture to me. But since it sounds every bit as goofy as the Xian version, I didn't pay much attention.

11. Oh, I don't know

I grew a tail and there are little bumps on the top of my head.

But that might be because I visited the atheist forum that morning?

[CarbonDate]

16. Sorry, no; I'm the anti-Christ.

My plans are greatly exaggerated. I simply intend to sit on internet forums and snicker while making snide remarks as humanity does all of my work for me.

[varkam]

17. I knew there was some reason...

why I liked you :)

18. A colleague at work had a hard disk crash that day

And no back up for a year. That must be in Revelations somewhere.

[Proud_Democratt]

19. Came and went...like Y2K.
