The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Rapture gone wild!

Welp, looks like those guise have egg on their faces now. But they will recalibrate their calculators and take off again!!

Dispies have a "recalibration clause" in their system to accommodate the ever-fluxing news of the day. However, I can't help but recall the following:

[strictly tongue-in-cheek mode] Someone posted a theory that God has a date in mind and has been planning it for years, but has to change the plan whenever some dispie yahoo guesses it, just to prove them wrong. [/strictly tongue-in-cheek-mode]

"Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent." (Proverbs 11:12)

I'm confused. Is your reply referencing anyone in particular? What is the relevance of it to either your own post or Robin's [strictly tongue-in-cheek mode] post?

The clear words and tone of everyone in this thread is deafening.

Sorry, but evidently I'm deaf because I don't hear what you are 'hearing' from 'everyone'. How about condescending down to my lowly level and explain yourself.

Since you requested, I'll be happy to help you analyze the unchristian behavior in this thread. I'll start with the 6th comment...

Instead of guys, it's spelled guise. An outward appearance that conceals the true nature of someone or something. Indicating that Dispensationalists are not what they appear to be, ie. Christian. They are wearing a costume (maybe a wolf in sheep's clothing). Other synonyms for guise are: pretense, act, facade.

If you would like to say: "he said "those" indicating only the ones in the videos" --- ok, let's see if that matches with the following comments:

You say: "Dispies" --- This is a generalization of the group as a whole, not a specific subset within Dispensationalism. If that's not specific enough, then you say: "in their system" --- so this further illustrates that you are speaking of the system as a whole group and not only those within the subset. Then you go on to quote Scripture that these people should be killed (Deut 18:20).

You then state: "the ever-fluxing news of the day." --- as though the Scriptures are not the basis of Dispensational Premillennialism.

Strictly tongue and cheek: But then goes onto to mock Dispensationalists and their love for the soon appearing of Christ. Tongue and cheek just means: I'm about to mock/belittle you, but I'll pretend it's just harmless joking so I can get away with it, while trying to dodge responsibility if the target gets upset.

Then you say: "I'm confused" when you really are not confused. We both know this is passive-aggressive communication (or just straight-up condescending sarcasm). You know from my posts that I'm a Dispensationalists. So stop the pretense.

You say: "Sorry, but evidently I'm deaf" --- This is obvious. You cannot hear the words coming out of your own mouth. You said, I just agreed with you.

Then you say: "explain yourself." --- Why? So you can play the victim when I read your own words back to you. You (and your dispie bashing cronies) are playing a sick game that is not in any way befitting for a Christian, nor the name of Christ.

I thought I was joining a Christian forum. But unfortunately, all I ended up with is a mocking, belittling and Dispensational bashing forum that is passive-aggressive.

Please, go ahead and play the victim.

Maranatha!!

Warpedwarrior-To be honest, I am coming to this discussion late. However, I read what you said first. Then decided to read the whole thread to see why you said what you did.

After doing so. My basic thoughts were the same as Pilgrims.
I am not sure you went on that rant.

Because he asked.
