Want a key "RaptureReady.com" contradiction?

This one gets covered up by the denizens of raptureready.com.

99% of them are hard-line John 14:6 ""I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

So you MUST be a Christian to get salvation, they say.

But when you quiz them on whether Jews get to heaven, they hem and haw and run away. That's because their Rapture theology requires Jews to be viable and Israel to be a political force during End Times. They're not willing to concede their hardline stance on John 14:6 but at the same time they're afraid of alienating their pro-Israel readership.

The admins are so pro-Israel I have often wondered if it's more than theology, it's funding. I don't know.

At least in the Rapture Drama cycle.

The Jews will be set upon and slaughtered toward the end of the reign of the Antichrist. The remnant -- a small number -- will then convert to Christianity and spread the Gospel, and suffer even more.

Then Jesus comes back, whacks the muthafukkas, and there's a thousand years of peace, and no non-Christians.

That's the plan, anyway.

They have about as much love for the Jews as Beijing has for Taiwan.

can be found in "Desert Wisdom" by Neil Douglas-Klotz, Sufi Murshid (teacher) and scholar.

To quote selected parts of his translation-which can be found on pages 128-129:
One translateion of "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life".

..."the ego fully aware of its limitation declares a road, provides a compass, and fuels the journey"....

One translation of "I am the door"

..."the ego, aware of its moment-by-moment existance, conveys us between realities"....

There's a lot more, but I don't want to violate copyright laws. There are meditations and more explanations of this phrase in the book.

A little different, and more broad, than the fundamentalist interpretation, that's for sure.
