I know your question was not to me, but I just want to add the following, for the sake of interest. 1 Thess 4:17 says that we will join the Lord in the air, but the usage of the word here that is translated as "air" is interesting, because according to Strong's it refers to the air specifically...

You think the end of the age and the beast in the temple and the return of Jesus would have to happen prior to the Baptism of Jesus? That doesn't make sense. I must be misunderstanding you.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a super star. One day he will be a great president, I have no doubt. People are saying Trump should pick him as his VP, but I'm pretty sure Ramaswamy has already said he would turn down that offer, and I think he would be right to. Ramaswamy needs to build his own...

I'm just curious. If you could see a point in history, a rebellion in Jerusalem, during which, a man did set himself up in the temple, as if he were God, could that make you consider that what Paul spoke of has already happened? In other words, if you could see that Paul's prediction in that...

Just reading all the comments here about the temple, it's interesting to me having such a different perspective now, compared to the perspective I had even 5 years ago. For many years I've studied the bible, listened to preachers, discussed eschatology, etc. and though I often gained little...

Answers #1 and #3 are the same answer. So, I'm not sure how to answer this. Why did you phrase your poll this way?

So then you're questioning the account. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're essentially saying that you doubt the veracity of the old testament. Why are you just not clear on that? You're creating a lot of posts, without saying much of anything. Maybe instead of using clever one...

The opening post for this very thread was written by a non-Christian. the.reverent.atheist

The creation account can be literal or allegorical, and still be true either way. You don't have to accept it as literal, to accept it.

Are you questioning God's definition of morality? Or are you questioning the Biblical account?

I think we should hate what God hates, and love what God loves.

I agree that the Bible tells us that God is capable of hate, and that God instructed the Israelites to kill all the people in the land. That is what the Bible tells us, so that is what I believe. Do you not believe it? Do you not believe the Bible?

If God does not change, you have no basis for claiming that he is no longer capable of hate. It has nothing to do with the old or new covenants.

God is the same tomorrow, yesterday and today. You know this.

Nonsense. 2 Thessalonians has already happened. This idea that God still needs a physical temple to be built to accomplish his plan, goes against everything that Jesus taught us. Jesus is the new temple, and he lives within us. From the perspective of a Christian, it's absolutely...

Let's not pretend that God does not hate people. God is capable of hate just as much as we are, and he doesn't just hate sin, he also hates the sinner. Leviticus 20:23 Moreover, you shall not follow the customs of the nation which I will drive out before you, for they did all these things, and...

Yes, he also didn't react to any of my posts, in which I tried to directly address his points. He's clearly not looking to engage, only to attack.

Well, the OP might not be interested in actually discussing the issue, but I thought it was an interesting topic. It comes up frequently when debating with atheists so I think it's important for us, as Christians, to be able to intelligently dispel such criticism. I was hoping to get some...

Nobody seems to be taking this topic seriously.
