Just in case I want to tell everyone it has been a great ride and have really enjoyed the postings here about UT and other items.

The world will end when sooners don't cheat, and the ags are better than us at everything. I think we're a long way off from that.
 
If you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you're there?
 
We are all, or at least most of us here are, educated and intelligent people. Does anyone here actually believe in this rapture thing? If so, please explain why. And, if you decide to reference the bible, please include the scripture notation so that I may look it up.

To make this football related: How would a rapture event affect our chances on the field. Do we have more or less rapture candidates than other schools? Would the Baylor campus immediately become a ghost town? How about BYU? Does their mythology include rapture?

Thanks in advance for any thoughtful insight.

Turn sarcasm meter to "medium".

Cue Blondie.
 
Wait, how are we so certain that the world really didn't end and we're just not aware of it because heaven (or hell) is a lot like the world we know/knew?

Dammit, and where are those acid flashbacks I was always warned about???

That's it... I'm going streaking!
 
Someone asked about the Biblical reference to a coming Rapture. The main reference is 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Here it is in context:

4:13 Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope. 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also we believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep as Christians. 4:15 For we tell you this by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not go ahead of those who have fallen asleep. 4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 4:17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. 4:18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.

5:1 Now on the topic of times and seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you. 5:2 For you know quite well that the day of the Lord will come in the same way as a thief in the night. 5:3 Now when they are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will surely not escape. 5:4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the darkness for the day to overtake you like a thief would. 5:5 For you all are sons of the light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness. 5:6 So then we must not sleep as the rest, but must stay alert and sober. 5:7 For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 5:8 But since we are of the day, we must stay sober by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet our hope for salvation. 5:9 For God did not destine us for wrath but for gaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 5:10 He died for us so that whether we are alert or asleep we will come to life together with him. 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as you are in fact doing.
 
The end of the world would NOT be a big deal in College Station, since the aggs are used to running out of time.
 
We're all still standing which means I'll still be doing the Sunday morning recaps beginning once again in the Fall.
