Searcher,
You don't want to talk about the way I speak for the moment? *gasp* Well then, I've been delivered. But I do just a little. "Ghetto". Boy, it's been a mighty long time since I've heard that word. I keep hearing that Elvis song "In the Ghetto" in my head now. Thanks, cause I looooooove Elvis. But you're blowing that a little out of proportion here aren't you? You're lucky I don't know how to use that cute little quote thingy like you do. Don't forget that you keep making me go back and read previous posts of mine to check my "usage". It's not that much. I don't talk ghetto. I'm a 32 year old college educated financial analyst from upper middle class suberbia, midwest. Everyone around me talks like I do. Especially when they're being expressive, or when debating something that they are passionate about. I'm a nice person, face it. You are assuming a lot of things I think when you read my posts that aren't true. I have a rather sarcastic sense of humor, and a sharp tongue SOMETIMES BUT NOT FREQUENTLY, but I have absolutely no ill will or malintent towards anyone. Most of the time I'm sitting here with a smile on my face typing away. Let me put it to you this way....I've dated men that (and this makes me laugh), that can use the word f*%k as a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, and explitive. Sometimes in the same sentence! LOL! See, all I used to care about was good hair and a nice butt. Welcome to Ohio! It's called redneck. I'm not actually a redneck myself, as my intellect, education, job, abhorance of racism and the use of double negatives disqualifies me. You may catch me cussing (though I'm so paranoid now, you might not), but you'll never catch me saying "ain't no" or "I seen". But, I have hung out and dated and worked with (still to this day) with some people that you would probably have nothing to do with. And they're good people (well, not all of them), just different. I've hung out with some dangerous people too. Sex, drugs, and rock & roll was my motto. I'm working on it ok??? Now it's Jesus, sex, and rock & roll. LOL! I crack myself up. Ok, now quit dissing me (now that's ghetto). I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings about the homo thing. Now lets be friends.
Now everybody say "awwww".
Ok, about the rapture, I'm not real good with popping scripture, as I don't remember where I read things. It's a big book. For the life of me, I don't know how people memorize verses. I guess I just haven't been at it long enough. Maybe Truestory would be kind enough to help me?
It'll be all of what is called the Church, which is not a church, but all those who live in Christ, are true saved Christians in their hearts, not just out their mouths or in their actions. People can behave certain ways and say certain things for many different reasons. Only God knows who really wants to serve Him and glorify Him in their hearts. If I'm not mistaken the 144,000 that you mentioned is called the Jewish remnant? I got the impression that they would be preaching the Gospel after the rapture. I think that it will be an instantanious event as it's described. The dead in Christ rise and then the living and we meet Him in the clouds. Jesus doesn't need spaceships. If there are spaceships there or soon after, then it is not because we're in them. They're props in the lie. Satan doesn't know the exact time, but he probably knows we're pretty close. That's why sightings and abductions have increased so much and will continue to. To think about this really fundamentally, if Satan didn't have a lie to cover up the true event of the rapture, then what in the world would possibly stop people from believing the Word? What other thing could you possibly think of to cover up the rapture besides alien abduction on a mass scale? The answer is nothing, to both questions. It's really the only conclusion out there right now, and honestly, I think it's a good enough lie to do it. They will say it was the "good aliens" in the space ships, and they took us somewhere where we'll be very happy living out the rest of our 3rd dimensional lives, while the rest of the planet is preparing to go through a "dimensional evolution", which is a spiritual evolution that also includes cataclysmic disasters. These good aliens, who will point to the Antichrist as the "master teacher", or whatever. He's the top of the spiritual heirarchy in other words; the most "progressed" or "initiated" being in the universe. I think that the concept of God will be one of a "force" or "nature" or "love" or "everything", or really anything except the Father of Jesus Christ who is our only Saviour. And it's another dimension, not another planet. Have you ever read the Share International website? That's where I started this little journey of mine; you should read it. That whole avatar, space brother BS is what got me looking into aliens and abductions. Keep in mind that for some strange reason, this organization is affiliated with the U.N.???
There is no progressive spiritual heirarchy is the point to keep in mind. There is a heirarchy, but it is not progressive. The Antichrist will be able to perform miracles (to us), I mean remember who he is. He'll rise from the dead, or it will seem as this is when Satan enters the body. The aliens are seen as performing miracles, as what is a miracle to us but something that we can't scientificallly explain? They can explain it. And I honestly believe (especially since I got the blessing of the Holy Spirit) that there are spiritual sides of ourselves that can commune with the Holy Spirit to do miraculous things. Most of us just don't tap in. And some of us tap into the wrong spirit, not the Holy Spirit. There's only one other. If it's not of God, then it's of Satan.

God loves you and so do I!
