And - yes - those who are not Christians (by "Christian" I mean those who place their faith in Christ alone) will perish - whether or not they are Jews. The goal, however, is to live a life that honors God and someday spend eternity with Him."

>>So you do believe that you are better then the rest of us who don't follow this hogwash. Please explain to me how your believing in this goal of events occuring that will cause the Rapture is any different from fundamentalist Muslims blowing themselves up so they can go me 79 virgins????

I also believe that, by God's grace, my eyes have been opened to the truth of the Gospel and that I will spend eternity in Heaven as a result of Christ taking the punishment I deserved.
