I'll accept it with a little modification. The
terms are not that FastFalcon is still on the
planet, but that the rapture must have occurred
by May 14, 2022.

Not that it matters. As I suspected, when pushed
on a date for his "very soon", he quickly backed
off. First, he tried to claim that it could be
thousands of years, citing that very weak
reference from Mathew. Then when I called him
on that, he gave himself a 20 year range, thus
ensuring that he wouldn't have to soon be
embarrased for his poor interpretations. 20 years
is far enough in the future that nobody will
remember it (hell, I probably won't even remember
it).

His faith in his own interpretations seems to have
faltered rather fast when asked to put his money
where his mouth is. In short, he's a chickenshit.

FastFalcon, I suggest you start investing rather
heavily real estate (stick with the larger cities)
and other stable investment vehicles. That 20
years will come fast, and I'll be close to
retirement by then. Can't wait to get the money!

Oh, look what's on tv tonight! "Failed End Time
Prophets" - a critical look at the many religious
leaders who have claimed to have discovered the date
of the 2nd coming of Jesus, only to have to been
wrong. It's 2 hours long, there are quite a few
of them.....

Kosh...channel and time please??

Fastfalcon

I'll stay away from the larger cities due to nuclear threat, thank you very much. and I was only spectulating on the time frame, due to numerous factors. Jesus can come in 40 years if that's God's will.

Don't you want to be in them then, because you'll get to meet the Lord sooner if something happens?

Fastf: Weasel words. I'd say you're exhibiting a lack of faith. You know if you're faith isn't bullet-proof, you won't get your prayers answered.

My serious advice is to just call off the bet as you know that you will never pay off anyway.

Kosh: Sorry, I'm not a lawyer. I did say that Fastf would have to be raptured before you would pay, but I see how my wording of Fastf "residing on this planet" would allow him the loophole of temporarily immigrating to the moon.

I'm sorry, the thought of an unkempt jew in a white robe flying through the sky still makes me chuckle...I can't help it. Another thought, what about xtians that are inside when the rapture begins? What about ceiling fans?

Kosh

No problem. There was another out for him though
under that wording: If he'd died before the date.

Sorry to nitpic, but that's what 20 years of
software engineering does to you...

Kosh,

LOL Nits don't bother me.

I advise you to keep your day job though. I mean, don't add Fastf's million to your net worth statement just yet. I wouldn't want to see your retirement ruined by Fastf welshing.

Fastfalcon

I must have date set while I was arguing with you. Sorry, but give your money to someone else. And I'm keeping my money. All I say is that I Spectulated that the Rapture may be anywhere from several months to 20 years. Sorry. And let's get back to the object of the thread, in the beginning.
