I do not plan on updating this survey any time soon, but if you would like your view to be considered, please post it here.

And please remember this is not a thread to discuss theology or scientific theories.

If you wish to argue for or against any particular belief system please take it up somewhere on the Religion Forum. This is just a survey!

This is the final result of the Freeper Research Project. If you see anything that needs to be corrected, please let me know.

Thanks to all of you for contributing to this survey!

bump your hard work - thanks AG

Pur me in the Rusty Shackleford column......Im generally of the position that aliens will continue infiltrating our genetic material through abductions. Once our genetic material is fully adulterated and we become worker drone, bee people, the government will introduce a pathogen to destroy mankind, rather than submit to alien domination.

The only part I have difficulty reconciling is why the govt doesnt take advantage of all the gun owners and air condition a few of those lizards at the first opportunity, excepting of course, the mass hysteria

Unfortunately, the resulting pandemic physically alters our appearance, and we will all resemble Fernando Lamas

It just goes to show we don't know for sure.

minor tweak -- you have me in under both premil and amil. What I actually said was "somewhere in the Amil-Postmil range".

Good job, Alamo-Girl.

The Comfort of Christ’s Coming

   
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.^[b]
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

And a Little Humor ...

With the serious content of the subject of this survey and the times we live in, it is the humorous contributions which once again temper it all. Too funny!  

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!

Most won't like what I believe about the Rapture.:

It's Yahweh's (God the Creator's name in Hebrew) universe. There is no end. The anti-Christ will appear and rule before Jesus Christ returns. No one knows or will know the time of Jesus Christ's return.

The Rapture is a blasphemous idea, not to be found in the Bible, without excessively liberal interpretations (actually misinterpretations - IMHO), but created by false preachers and a tool the anti-Christ will use to fool Christians into believing he is Jesus Christ returned. IMHO, all must be like a 'Doubting Thomas' to avoid being fooled by the anti-Christ, false preachers/prophets and his (small 'h') Rapture (sometimes, I call it the Rupture, because it will create a rupture in false churches). Both Yahweh and the anti-Christ will want this to happen. The 'false' Rapture will be a test of 'true' faith. Those with a combination of absolute faith and Thomas' skepticism, will see through the Rapture. When Jesus Christ returns we will all know, so to doubt, when you aren't absolutely sure Jesus Christ has returned, is good, cause if you're not sure - it will be the anti-Christ impersonating Jesus Christ asking all 'believers' to join him in the Rapture.

After the anti-Christ and his minions are destroyed (Armageddon) and Jesus Christ has returned (Hallelujah!!!), the Millennium will begin. During the Millennium, those that saw through the falsehoods of the Rapture and the anti-Christ will help teach others about 'true' faith and to bow their knee to Yahweh, the Creator, the one and only true God. All who believe at the end of the Millennium and/or 'spiritual learning period', will be saved and become blessed eternally. This is a 'second' chance for Christians and others fooled by the anti-Christ, before Jesus Christ's return.

Anyone that doesn't believe after the Millennium will be thrown into the 'lake of fire' (aka-hell, which doesn't exist yet, but will when needed) with unbelievers, faithless fallen angels, unrepentant false prophets/preachers and the anti-Christ (The only one who has been pre-judged and has no way out of the 'lake of fire').

Heaven on earth will be eternal with an environmentally 'replenished' earth (as in the Garden of Eden) and all in their 'spiritual' bodies. There will be levels of glorification based on one's life (avoiding sin and helping others), resistance to the falsehoods of the anti-Christ and levels of faith. So, the more Christlike one is in their life, the more of a reward they will receive during the Millennium and in Heaven. However, through learning, all believers will eventually achieve the highest level of glorification and eternal bliss.

Those who believe in the 'Rapture' will not like this, but God actually has an escape hatch, so to speak, for those fooled by it and/or the anti-Christ. Yahweh knows most good people will be fooled before the Millennium. And that's why our forgiving Lord has allowed for a second chance.

My beliefs don't seem to fit into any category. See my post #25. The most important thing for me to share with others is to be wary of the anti-Christ. I hope I didn't break the rules of this thread by laying out my beliefs.

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.

Look at mother nature on the run In the nineteen seventies.
Look at mother nature on the run In the nineteen seventies.

I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes.
I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie.

Thinking about what a Friend had said I was hoping it was a lie.

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver Space ships flying In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying And colors flying All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun.

They were flying mother nature’s Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying mother nature’s Silver seed to a new home.

Relax. We've got another 3000-9000 years bare minimum before even a hint of what you propose happens. In the meantime, enjoy the great things life has to offer. Budweiser, BBQ, Pretty ladies, and american football (and maybe Bora Bora, if you have the coinage!).

Nice job Alamo-Girl!
