OK. Stories don't get crazier than this. Alright maybe the whole thing with thousands of birds falling dead out of the sky in Arkansas is a bit crazier but only by a little bit. This news story concerning a Catholic school, a UFO cult, and a human rights tribunal is lunacy. Madness. But the wacko-osity doesn't start with the tribunal's ruling that a Catholic school board discriminated against a UFO Cult. Oh no. The crazy was ushered in much much earlier.
Get this.
Lifesite News.com reports:
The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has ordered a Catholic school board to compensate three members of a prominent UFO cult after finding the board guilty of religious discrimination.OK. Did you get that? They were actually hired to offer "emotional pedagogy" through the Academy of Pleasurology and Emotional Intelligence? Hired! That means they were being paid! Paid for...pleasurology? Isn't "pleasurology" something a stripper tells her mother's friends that she does for a living to make it sound all smarty pants -if strippers wore smarty pants?
Daniel, Michel, and Sylvie Chabot, members of the Raelian cult, were hired in November 2006 by the Conseil Scolaire Catholique Franco-Nord to offer ‘emotional pedagogy’ training sessions for teachers. They delivered such sessions through what they call the Academy of Pleasurology and Emotional Intelligence (APEI).
The Raelian sect was founded by former French sports journalist Claude Vorilhon, now known as ‘Rael’, in 1973 after he claimed that he had an encounter with aliens. The cult is known for its strong support of human cloning, which is based on their belief that cloning will usher in a paradise where people live forever.Aren't those beliefs kind of antithetical to what the Church teaches? A little?
Daniel Chabot, who calls himself a bishop, said they have filed dozens of human rights complaints, but this is the first to side with them. “It took us 17 years of relentless battles and one case before a Human Rights Tribunal in Ontario to finally have our voices heard,” he stated in a press release.So this is a lesson for everyone. If you're going to sue someone, make sure you sue the Catholic Church because your chances of winning go up pretty darn high.
CB:"I would say that the Dome could well be gone after this year."
T"Trying to keep up with and debunk this futurist swill is like playing whack-a-mole."
I'm starting to feel sorry for them, since every one of their arguments is a losing argument filled with impossible scenarios (200,000,000 Chinese horsemen) to imagining that some entity is going to somehow replace the Dome with a Temple, not just this year, but any year.
First of all, what folks think is the Temple (Wailing/Western) Wall can't possibly be that because a wall requires one brick upon another which our LORD said was not the case. So the Futurists are lost and confused on the location due to lack of proper respect for Scripture and reason.
The Dome sits on the site of Fort Antonio, the original temple site is that gap to the south. The problem here is that one must desecrate a number of graves to build on the actual site. I'm going to provide the next LaHaye with a free plot-line element to build the new Temple (that God says is not build with human hands - another triviality dismissed by the Futurists)
The unaccounted TARP Billions is secretly given to the Palestinians so that they may buy land and outbid the Jewish settlers, thus allowing a somewhat strong market advantage to the Palestinians in procuring and occupying the alleged former Palestinian lands. As part of the deal, they make a covenant not to riot when the Zionists build a Temple to the south of the Dome. The person who brokers this deal is the Futurist's AntiChrist.
See how easy it is to craft semi-believable camp-fire stories when one first rejects Scripture?

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Was He talking about the Temple building or the walls around the Temple as well? The verse above specifically designates the buildings. If you have further information that He also meant the walls I would like to see it.
The Temple Institute in Israel is actively working towards the rebuilding of the Temple and I will let their own map tell where they believe the Temple belongs.

At one time -- before I got booted off the Rapture Ready for Rapturenauts site -- I thought how interesting it would be to ad-hoc invent what you call futurist “camp-fire stories” and peddle them there. I just wanted to see how their version of “whisper down the lane” would play itself out.
Sadly, I was booted for raising too many unanswerable questions and being a theological nuisance. Also, my third and ninth commandment informed conscience suggested what I wanted to do was morally questionable. But it would have been a gas.
Why all of a sudden would you get so literalistically nit-picky? Aren’t you the one claiming that swords and bows and arrows and shields and spears and horses are really phantom Russian tanks constructed from Dutch laminates in your futurist version of Ezekiel 38-39? Obviously you give yourself wide latitude in your interpretative approach. Shouldn’t you be cutting others some slack?
Let us know when you want to be taken seriously.

I was exhorted by another Dispy not to argue over words. (1 Ti 6:4) So I was otherwise content to let it go, but the Greek word is indeed plural, and it really doesn't translate very well to simply "buildings", or at least in the sense that appears in any English translation. The compound word starts with 'oikos' which has a family sense to it,and is usually translated as "house", and 'doma' which is always translated in the Bible as "housetop". Combined it has a sense of "completed", as in Eph 2:21. Thus, it can be argued that oikodome refers to a personal place that is on the road to being completed. The plural gives us the idea of the whole compound. Interestingly, the Temple was completed just a couple years before it was destroyed. Could it be that not only showing mercy by waiting nearly a full span of time in a generation, that our LORD also foreshadowed the actual date by referring to the Temple grounds in this way?
Trying to keep up with and debunk this futurist swill is like playing whack-a-Nephelim
Actually I am writing the mother of all camp-fire stories - similar in mission to "Left Behind" but only from a Realized Millennium eschatological bent. The working title is "Nephilim Theory" with a story arc that begins with the antediluvians and ends with the Parousia.
Who and what the Nephilim were/are is discovered and explained in the story.
