Not because I am afraid of what you say. Not because I think you won. Because it is my blog and that is my rule. If you aren't even prepared to have a psuedonym identified with your opinion you should probably keep it to yourself. Click on the drop down box below the text entry box, the one labelled "Comment As" and choose Name/URL and enter some random name and then stick to it everytime you post - it helps everyone else know who they are replying too.<br /><br />With that said, it is apparent that you and I are using very different definitions of <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/arrogance" rel="nofollow">arrogance</a> and <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/arrogance" rel="nofollow">humble</a>.<br /><br />I am using the ones most English speakers use, you are using ones that make arrogant religious people feel better about themselves.<br /><br />Feel free to enlighten us though - what definition of humble do you use that enables a humble person to self proclaim to everyone else that God would choose them ahead of 6.5+ billion other people.<br /><br />Show your work.<br /><br />Alternatively, please explain what definition of arrogance does not include claiming you are so perfect you are a shoe in for the perfect supreme being to decide you are so worthy you will be saved ahead of anyone else.<br /><br />Show your work.<br /><br />It does not take humility to turn to God. It takes fear. Until you understand that, there is little point in continuing the conversation.Jimmy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303271166058408065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115577367947785080.post-45225556510974573012011-04-07T23:50:04.946-06:002011-04-07T23:50:04.946-06:00There's no arrogance in talking about the RAPT...There's no arrogance in talking about the RAPTURE. The person who believes in the Rapture had to humble himself or herself and recognized that he or she is a sinner, believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to be his or her Lord and Savior. It takes a lot of humility to accept that one is a sinner and needs The Savior.<br /><br />As in the Days of Noah people will not believe but when the flood came they all perished except Noah and His family with the animals of course. Don't jump into conclusions of arrogance when you do not know what it took for the person to removed all pride and ask God for forgiveness. <br /><br />You can be part of the Rapture: <br /><br />Dear God, please forgive me for all my sins. I believe you died on the cross, was buried and resurrected as payment for my sins. Please come into my heart, live in me, teach me and be my Lord and Savior. I accept your free gift of eternal life. Thank you Jesus Christ for saving my soul from fires of hell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9115577367947785080.post-56961717274539787612010-04-13T10:22:25.872-06:002010-04-13T10:22:25.872-06:00If I ever found out my airline pilot or surgeon we...If I ever found out my airline pilot or surgeon were fundies, I'd split.

Um...so are you suggesting that such people sometimes become airline pilots or surgeons? That's dangerous enough without them even being rapturized away.Yakaruhttp://spiritualityisnoexcuse.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
