Terrible charlatans. So many out there in the name of religion.

Scripture Verse: Matthew 7

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Ah but they have three different names!

But only the cats know their real name, and they'll never tell.

Would you trust anyone who wasn't raptured?

More than I trust the raptured.

Would you trust anyone who wasn't raptured?

Do you actually believe in the Rapture? Do you think that all believers will suddenly disappear from the earth as in one of those unintentionally hilarious Left Behind novels?

Some here should bear that in mind.

Probably a good idea since if it happens they won't be around.

Btw, turkeys can fly. But not very long or far.

That comment is definitive proof that you don't know what the verse means.

I am fully aware of those verses. Or are you also now claiming to hold the definitive interpretation?

[Diogenes]

IIRC, they have souls, just not eternal ones.

I suggest not confusing Jim.

I may not have the definitive interpretation (whatever you mean by that), but it is quite clear from your previous post that you haven't the foggiest idea who Jesus is talking about.

I was being sarcastic, given that you and others here have a propensity to tell me what certain texts mean as you have the definitive interpretation and understanding of those texts. .

Right, whenever your ignorance is exposed, you always pivot to "I was only joking!" You are so predictable.

Being sarcastic is not automatically equated with being jocular. And you [plural] do have a tendency to assume that your interpretations of various texts are the only possible interpretations that could be assumed to be correct.

And whenever your ignorance is exposed, you don't pivot at all.
