Eternal separation from God. The redeemed automatically go to heaven; the unredeemed go to hell, where they await their final judgment. Eventually, they will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, where they will have to eternally atone for their sins. No, I don't believe scripture indicates this...

What are the odds another "rare" event will happen in the near future?

Tell that to Hitler.

I think there are valid criticisms of churches becoming too flashy and seeker-friendly. At the same time, I feel some people expect churches to be perfect. They get easily offended by something the pastor says or by someone else at the church. Church is made up of imperfect people. Things are...

No, otherwise, it wouldn't be faith. No. Yes, but then, I would consider apologetics to be a doctrine. I can't say that it has. I'm not sure how it could. I don't think Christianity has ever claimed to have ALL the answers to every single question. We have some answers, especially to...

Well, there's also the matter of free will. Could God stop every one from doing evil or making a bad decision before they did it? Sure, but then that's not free will, we would just be puppets with strings. God could also restore everything instantly but then nothing would have been learned. I...

There's a WW2 skit where one Nazi soldier notices all the skull badges on his uniform and asks the other Nazi soldier, "Are we the baddies?" I feel that is where we are at. There is a total disconnect with reality with people like this professor. They have this distorted view that justifies this...

What can possibly go wrong? Everything. The sheer lunacy of the UK government is astounding. This is the irrational decision making of a society on the verge of collapse.

I've read that Pope Francis appointed 109 of the 135 Cardinal Electors, so, I expect the next pope will be just as "progressive" as the last.

Context is everything, isn't it? A word can mean different things depending on how it's used. The use of the word "mala" in Gen 1:28 is more similar in usage to Gen 9:1 than it would be to the other examples you cited. The point being is that filling something does not preclude it from being...

Just because something isn't "inspired" doesn't mean it's not useful. The Bible doesn't tell us everything. For instance, it doesn't tell us about dinosaurs, yet we know they existed. There's still a lot we don't know about our own prehistory. We try to fill in the gaps as best we can, but there...

Why does it need to be "inspired"?

There are many books on this subject, "Another Time, Another Place, Another Man" by Finis J. Dake, for example.

Care to expound on this? I don't have a lot of time in this moment, but I'll respond when I can.

There is also the idea that Semyaza and Azazel are synonymous, hence the "aza" in both their names. I tend to think it was a separate rebellion, apart from Lucifer's (Satan) initial rebellion. I've researched dragon mythologies and it's quite interesting how they all have common themes that...
