    Matthew 24:2, The Temple Destruction Was Symbolic, Not Literal As PreterismTeaches

    Okay…interesting correlation…it could, perhaps be built upon. How do you, however, deal with the fact that in Matt 24 the Disciples, and therefore the topic under conversation, was NOT Jesus’ death…but that actual, physical, temple? It’s fairly obvious that the structure was being spoken about...

    Daniel 9:24-27, Seventy Literal Weeks Explained?

    No…it’s not “simple”. It’s a heptad. It’s a group of ‘seven’. Strong’s Concordance lists as definition: “a period of seven (days, years), heptad, week”. Which means these groups, these ‘weeks’ of seven, could be, but are not limited to, actual weeks. Again…I see little support, for or against...

    Daniel 9:24-27, Seventy Literal Weeks Explained?

    Yeah…okay…that’s certainly an interesting take. But, like pretty much every other take, the only way we’ll really know who’s “interpretation” of Daniel’s 70 weeks is correct, is when we’ve seen them fulfilled. For me, most interpretations include just a bit too much speculation and numerology...

    Actually, I don’t know about Afghani immigrants coming to Australia…may not have come up in my newsfeed, perhaps, I’m not sure. But I do think the whole system is bunk. There has to be a better way to do it. I….don’t think open borders is smart, but if we can’t allow that for security reasons...

    Australia's police brutality continues in the name of covid

    Well…thanks for that. I confess its taken much mulling on it all to arrive at the conclusion I have. We have friends who are rather vehemently on either side of the coin, I suppose you could say, and each has…if not convincing arguments, then at least arguments worthy of consideration. I think...

    Australia's police brutality continues in the name of covid

    The United Nations? Forgive me, but they only wish they ‘rule’ every nation on earth. They’re nothing but a platform for woke nations to whine from. Can you remember when a pronouncement from them was taken seriously? Acted upon? Most nations just nod with tongues tucked in their cheeks and...

    Australia's police brutality continues in the name of covid

    As someone who also lives in Australia, I share some of your concerns. Some. The authority measures the states are taking are…concerning. Wildly concerning. More concerning is seeing the how some of the Police are responding with force before reason in some of the mildest of situations. We know...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    I don’t necessarily disagree. But people tend to get upset when you try and align the Church and Israel, so I find it helps to try and step by step breakdown that, in point of fact, there is only ‘in Christ’…which is being grafted onto the tree. Which yes, is “Israel” in truth…but is also the...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    It would almost have to be, would it not? If one is saved (grafted back on) by ones relationship to Jesus. But…there still seems to be the implication given by Paul, that a great many of the THEN national Jews (whenever that time may be) will come to the realisation that Jesus IS their Messiah...

    World Alert: 10 Trends point to the End

    I’m afraid your correlation of numbers and events don’t make much sense to me in terms of ‘maths’, even with calculator in hand. One would need to muddle through the program you have presented, and forgive me, but I’m just not following you.

    Here in Australia our political system works a little differently, and thus, how us Aussies respond to the pollies are a little different as well. At the beginning of the pandemic most of AU sat and watched Victoria as they struggled the worst and went through insane lockdown after...

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    Well goodness, I hope so! Else I wouldn’t ever expect to see my sister again! I would have, by now, if not for this stupid pandemic. Ug! And Australia is fully locked down at the moment. I’m fully vaccinated, but can’t expect to go anywhere until at least the end of October. And you know what I...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Revelation 9, I believe. Locusts that ‘looked like horses’ and had the power of scorpions in their tails. They had ‘hair like women’s hair’ and teeth like lions. Naturally…we immediately go to ‘helicopters with women flying them’. o_O All due respect to Hal Lindsey and those like him, but, nope...

    Poll: Tattoo art - Christian perspectives: Fight it? Ignore it? appreciate/embrace it?

    Probably not. It’s not that I’m against it, I just don’t really want one that much…and If I don’t really want one, why would I stress about the pain…etc…. I’m pretty chicken when it comes to that sort of thing. I’m happy as is.

    UFO changed to UAP

    Can’t say that I’ve heard of any of those, sorry…but I don’t tend to dig into these sorts of subjects. I can say that I’m not at all surprised that Goverments control their populations by fear. I am, a little…surprised at how…readily the peoples of the world have handed over their rights so...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Yes. And some people, in the spirit of reading Revelation in a strictly “literal” style, turns a hoard of demonic beings into helicopters with women flying them. I think there is ridiculousness aplenty to be had.

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Forgive me, but…huh? Where did I say he must be “wearing perfect clothing to prove a heavenly body”? I’m arguing from silence? I disagree. But I do believe that we have been around this block so many times that nothing more will be gained from doing so again. Once more, you show that you’ve...

    UFO changed to UAP

    So…you believe that the Governments, or institutions, of the world have a purpose in perpetrating an alien hoax, for want of a better term, on the world? That the things being seen are but advanced tech that are for that purpose, whatever it might be? That could very well be it…I have no real...

    Thank you for your reply! I can’t…and probably shouldn’t…even try to pretend I understood most of it. I’m just glad that there are Christian people who can and who speak on the subject.

    UFO changed to UAP

    Believing in God means you might be under judgment. It means you might have to change how you live. No…I’m not surprised people don’t want to hear it. Sadly. The way news is leaking these days about UAP’s…it would be interesting to see a poll be done…see how many people believe that eventually...
