You Believe What?

There is a subtle difference in asking someone "What do you believe?" and "You believe what?"

I was asked a few months back by a couple Christian friends if I believed in the "rapture". I unassumingly thought that I just might be on the same team as these guys but apparently not. See when I told them that I actually did believe in the "rapture" they proceeded to mock me and tell me how blind I was to the truth. They asked me why I believed in such a bogus theory. I didn't give them an answer and here is why.

I only debate Jesus.
  • This is my standard.
  • On any subject I will give you my belief/opinion but once you decide to make a debate out of it I will check out of it.
  • My thought is that you can err in many doctrinal things but if you get the foundation of Christianity, which is Jesus, wrong you askew everything else.

Mark 9:40 says:
For the one who is not against us is for us.

This was Jesus speaking. [Just in case you weren't aware that Jesus spoke in red.]
