The bible is half-myth and half-reality aka disinformation. Too many disconnects to be taken literaly.
The elders are at war with the ancients and it is called The Cosmic Conflict. It has been going on for thousands if not millions of years ago. Today's humans occupying earth are at stake and are remanants of marsian and venusian civilations that left earth after the destruction of atlantis and lemuria. Of course both of these early human colonies were taken over by the orion group while many fleed to other solar sytems.
Is it a coincidence EVERYTHING that debunks evolution is ATS and denied? Absolutely not!
Probably not, but I sure do. The doctrine of a secret rapture was first conceived by John Nelson Darby of the Plymouth Brethren in 1827. The word rapture is not mentioned even once in the scriptures.

Anyone who believe in the Rapture is foolish. Research Project Blue Beam.

Yes, I agree. there are several in here that are so brainwashed by the church, or something akin, that they believe the bible is the only truth, and that it is the actual words of God, as if God have a secretary. I was just telling one of these that Yahweh was a Dragon and Jehovah was a Pleiadian. Doubt he will read it.
I feel sorry for them, I really do. They stop learning everything upon becoming a Christian, believe nothing else ans their new belief is set into stone now. The believe Jesus, a wise man who died and was buried is coming down in a cloud of something to rescue them all while the rest of us roast in Hell. They sit and insult our ET friends, call them demons, the ones who will help us when the going get tough, and will take us off planet while she recycles herself. I really do wonder what they will all do when it happens?
The word rapture itself does not appear in the Bible. You are correct with that; the term was coined in the 19th century as you pointed out. The concept (being 'caught up' in Christ), however, does appear. Both Greek and Hebrew, don't have the word rapture so it wasn't translated as such.
Stop learning everything upon becoming a Christian? I couldn't disagree with you more...
That aside, how do you know ET's are going to help us when the going gets tough? Do they have a history of helping us? I wasn't aware ET's said they will help us is all, not trying to be sarcastic.

Yes, however that is hardly unanimously agreed. The key part here is the translation. There have been various different words with 'ascended' or 'lifted up' being the most known. Obviously with any work which is translated to such a massive extent there will be discrepancies but it is questionable whether this is in fact a fair translation- that of course still relies on those words (even when translated, I don't think any god has 'officially' spoken english! Which always makes me wonder what language he spoke to Adam...did a god invent Hebrew?) being divine.
In situations like this I always think of a few years ago when a theologian translated the Qur'an into english with the words 'mud' or 'dirt' which man was created from were replaced with 'cells'- translating a 'holy book' (almost always) comes with an agenda meaning every word must be considered with a 'remember a human translated this....' clause.
..... Maybe a 'remember a human wrote this...' one too....

Who did you think helped Noah and his family with the Flood came? Who built the Monoliths all over the world with many clues telling us the end of the world comes? Who is it exactly that altered our DNA some 28 time during the past 50 years?
I had a strong vision of giant spacecraft saving saving humankind when the Earth turns over, destroying all that man has built. That's plenty enough for me.
And I won't be the one standing and calling them Demons either.

Right. Not many people here are a fan of the bible, although it seems to me to be the best written down, ancient evidence of extra-terrestrial, Ultra-diminsional contact of an Alien race with humans. Ezekial and the book of Genesis stand out as the best proofs, taken literally if one wants. Does not mention too much of this cosmic conflict of all the races though.
Not to discredit what you are saying, but it appears that anyone wanting to apply for disability on Mental Illness should memorize this discertation, exactly what you wrote, and tell it to their psychiatrist for the mental health diagnosis. That would qualify them for a big government check. The Trojan war to me represents clearly though what the enemy of mankind of humanity is. The "Gods" the Zeuses and Apollos and all of the are the clear enemies of all of us. And they still reign today in the form of the Monarchy, the bankers, and people at the head of government.edit on 14-11-2011 by MarkScheppy because: add

The best versions to read would be Greek or Hebrew, the other versions were translated to reach a particular group who don't speak these languages. Greek and Hebrew has a much more developed vocabulary base than English which is why there are challenges to translation. These translations are done by scholars who are very educated not by some Joe shmoe, so I would argue they are fair translations. You need to understand the goal of each translation (word for word, thought for thought, old English or modern English etc). I would encourage you to research each translation.
There probably was an agenda for the theologian you mentioned. I can't seem to find any information on this particular translation you are referring to. Can you give me a name to look into? Or a source would be great too.
As far as humans translating, yes translators will make mistakes, especially if its only one person. That's why the many translations of the Bible were done with a panel of scholars. I do get a kick out of the mistranslated signs at the airport or public places though haha. Those situations are different than Bible translations bear in mind.

Demons, or entities, while real, and solid as we are in our astrals, nonetheless, why would they need our dna??? Why would they need transportation vehicles? Why would they need body suits to wear? Why do they leave wounds and do phyiscal corporal things to the ones they traumatize? I'm not talking about benign interactions. But anyone who takes a person without their consent and harms them in any way, is not positive. But they are corporal. Fly in crafts. Wear body suits. Take our dna and do some pretty awful physical stuff.
