I think it is most distressing...and I could use a LOT more words as well...that they seem to be targeting children. It used to be that they'd wait to University to drench the kids with these sick ideas (bad enough), but now it's in school and even story time in libraries for pre-school kids...

Hi HIH, thanks for the invite. Romans is perhaps the most weighty (I feel) book of the bible, both blessed and amazing, but also...um, how to put this...trying to exegete it brings a considerable responsibility. So, I'll certainly do my best to put forth what I think on the passage, but I feel...

HOMESCHOOL! I'm telling you...before I was more or less forced into homeschooling my kids due to other issues, I would have faced a firing squad before considering it. But having gotten into the swing of it and loving it...and having witnessed the decent of the schooling systems into liberal...

I'm sorry...I really wasn't going to reply again. I really wasn't. And I wasn't going to belly laugh. But...you may not GET my point, but sir...you prove it with every reply. So, please, do keep going! :D

You consistently miss my point. So, clearly there is no longer any reason attempting to explain it.

I don't know that I've EVER claimed to have everything I've ever considered exactly correct. In fact I'm confronted daily with how my understanding lets me down. It's for that very reason I believe in constantly pushing forward in study and conversation. Let me try and put my comment this way...

Much sense! It can be such a blessing to know the Spirit isn't done with us, can't it? Thank goodness, I say. I find there's nowhere like here that tends to bring me smack up against my nature to 'be right'. And, I think the big trap is...its not wrong to be right...in fact, when talking about...

Well, clearly whatever I read, studied or listened to didn't lead me to feel the need to presumptuously declare how perfect my perceptions are over all the other plebeians. If I feel I can present my ideas without the obvious need to make the person I'm talking to feel like an idiotic heretic...

I'd say that about a person who glanced casually at eschatology and then turned away from it with a "I don't really know or care what happens"...or, a 'pan-Millennialist' as they sometimes call it. However, that is not what I am doing or suggesting. I have done considerable reading, both of...

I dunno...I think he clearly believes in it, which is cool. I can't honestly say what his motivations are, and its best not to speculate, but the result is a bit like junk mail letter-boxing, which is spam.

Yeah....see I see that a little like saying "they crucified Christ...but that doesn't actually say they KILLED him". Crucifixion, as we know, is an execution. And people hardly need to hide from a face that is not present, so the fact that they are actively working to hide FROM a face; that...

But, wait...how can he 'come in fire' on the 6th seal and NOT be seen, when the text specifically says that people are screaming that they want to be hidden FROM the face of the one who sits on the throne...a position we are told that the Lamb also shares. If they are seeing God, how can they...

See what you did right there? You listed the video, discussed what was in it and why you liked it. I might not necessarily agree with your views on it, but I like that I can see your heart here and can engage with you on the topic at hand. I can do so, because I SEE you here. Isn't that what a...

Yeah...well...ahem. I have to put my hand up and confess to sarcasm. It's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction when people get nasty. It doesn't make me upset, or even angry, but by golly it sets off my sarcasm. I'm trying to work on that, but honestly, have varying success at it.

You see that? That thing disappearing into the distance? That's my point that just flew over your head and disappeared into the horizon. Never mind. I'll leave you to your somber point. Have a good day.

I'm not speaking of issues of conscience which God does give some leeway on because it's based upon us and our particular weaknesses or strengths. What I AM talking about dips back into that area that you and I have already touched on, and we clearly disagree. And having agreed to disagree, I'm...

May I put forth an observation? The 6th Seal of Revelation, to all appearances, seems to describe a Theophany. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the...

But that's it, isn't it? I like conversation with others, even those I disagree with. I think it's possible to be sure of what you believe in, but be open and willing enough to be shown differently if that's how the Lord wants to take you. And often it's not through a bolt of divine...

Even if he (or she) wants to shout to the rafters about the Rapture...which is his right to do...it would be nice to meet him. And by that I mean...let's hear what he thinks, what he feels the bible says on the topic. Let him engage in conversation about the Rapture with people here. We don't...
