Read this quote. This was written to a friend on Facebook. I removed names to protect their identities because it doesn’t really matter who said it. It matters that their faith led them to this point and the person believes this is the correct way to believe. I will ask you some questions after you read this:
“Hi, We’re not sure if you were going to come down or when and if you were going to do so. We will send you the key just in case. If you’ve made other arrangements then just toss the key away. You know that “R” and I are followers of Jesus and we are awaiting the Rapture. We believe it will be coming anytime between now and very very soon. If you call us and you don’t get anyone answering the phone or typing you back in FB or your email. You can be assured that we were picked and going home with Father. We are not in the house any longer. We will be sending you a key to the house so that you can at least have a place to be for a while until you figure something out. I’m saying this because you have kind of indicated that you were not a believer in Jesus, Father and the Holy Spirit and because of this you will probably not be selected to go to heaven and will have to make due here on Earth the best you can but who knows. All I can tell you is to find other Christians and try your best to survive in the house the best you can as evil creatures and evil men as well as rape gangs will probably be running around all over the place. There is also protection in the house against anyone that tries to hurt you….you should know what I mean….. You can have anything you want that we have as we don’t need it any longer so take what you want…it’s all yours to trade and barter with for food….even the truck and car are yours. Whatever you do…don’t take that thing in your hand or forehead.if you do…there is absolutely NO HOPE for you with God. if you allow the Govt. to put that bio metric chip in your hand or forehead. It’s like choosing the Devil / Satan / Lucifer over GOD and he will toss you away if you allow them to put that thing into your body.”
What do you think?
If you are Christian, where are you on the events described?
If you aren’t Christian, what are you thinking about the person that wrote this? Do you think them radical?
Are you thinking that this is an extremist? Do you believe all Christians believe this way?
Do you think that since the United States is supposedly a nation of Christians; we all believe this way? And if so, what is your image of the U.S. now?
I copied this and posted it to my Facebook as an update and asked my family and friends to respond. I tried to get an idea what people thought about it. Sadly, only a few responded, and still I want to know.
So, I thought I would place it on my blog. I want to know if this is taught in the Christian church. Is this doctrine?
Now, in my way of thinking, all of that is extreme and it is a little scary that someone could believe this way. I wondered what they will do when they are still here like the rest of us. I also realized that I am on the outside looking in and I am thinking that not all Christians believe this way. When I read it I was reminded of Jim Jones and Heaven’s Gate followers who were led to their deaths by this kind of thinking. That is why I found it scary.
I think that this can be a great teaching tool. We think, believe, and do things differently. Not everyone goes off the deep end within a culture. I don’t think that all Christians are a bunch of loons; but, I recognize it is this kind of thing that promotes shooters acting in the name of their faith. Sound familiar?
So, think about Daesh as it relates to the Muslim culture. NOT THE SAME. It seems all of the beliefs of the world has people carrying things way beyond what was ever imagined by their authors.
Think about it. Comment and lets at least get real in our perspective concerning the difference between Muslims and DAESH. I don’t use Isis because the goddess doesn’t have anything to do with radicals and their religion.
Now, another thought comes to mind. If I knew this person and I lived near them; would you do anything about it or just let it go? Interesting.

As someone that was raised in the “Church” yes this sounds about right and was the way we always received sermons … that if you didn’t accept Christ you were going to Hell and those that did would go to Heaven in what is called the Rapture. As I have grown older; I have become disinfranchised with the “Church” and the clicks and crap associated with the purported Church body so I just quit going. Sometimes hard to believe in that God is Good type of message when you see children dying of cancer and family members living if you want to call it that with Alzheimers or Dementia. How can a God that is supposidly so loving and kind allow a good Christian woman two that I know of, to struggle to live that type of life let alone what it does to friends and family caring for them? We all have lived our own “hell on earth” so I am not sure how much worse that could be if we don’t go with the other christians to heaven in the rapture. As far as Daesh or whatever they want to call themselves; they deserve to die for what they are doing even to their own Muslim people but they do not speak for all Muslims either. Nor do all Christians speak for me either. HOWEVER, I do believe that the fear that most Americans fear, as I do, is the lack of accountability of terror groups here in the US and that is why we fear the Muslims here in the US and abroad. The CA deaths were done by two Muslims that OUR GOVERNMENT had no idea how radical they were. So can you blame Americans if we are just a little nervous about ANY foreigners here in the US because we don’t know if they are here legally or not or if OUR GOVERNMENT is on top of it if they are not.

Thank you for your input. I do believe that we need to be able to find the patterns of these radicals to be able to track and stop their ability to wage war on civilians. What bothers me is the idea that we have them here, too. I have faced the fact that radicals think we all must be the same and if you’re not for them, you’re against them and should die for that. To be punished for not believing as someone else does; is control. This nation needs to get smarter. I would love to be an internet investigator just to find the patterns and sever them. We don’t need that here.
