    The Signs of the Rapture (catching up of Believers) are here Today!!

    At what point does this just become spam? Repeated posts on the exact same topic containing only a sentence or two from you followed by a link to some guy spruiking your 'message'?

    Rapture Day (Catching up of Believers) is very Near!!

    I'm sorry I haven't been concise enough. Your post consisted mostly of thoughts regarding angels interbreeding with humans and animals, or humans and animals, or some such. On this I have no comment. One way or the other...so no such scoffing or mocking can take place. You also commented that...

    Failed Prophecies

    Well, that's all you can do, is it not? All any of us can do with what we fervently believe to be true. And then, yes...wait and see what will come to pass.

    Rapture Day (Catching up of Believers) is very Near!!

    Mmmm, we're dipping into OSAS here, which is not really the subject at hand. But briefly...if someone turns their back on Christ and leads others away as well, I don't think scripture supports the idea they were ever truly regenerated in the first place. Very wrong of them. I'm trying to...

    Rapture Day (Catching up of Believers) is very Near!!

    Actually, I wasn't commenting on the truth or fallacy of your post. I thought I said that. I'm actually reading a book at the moment called Unseen Realms that has me thinking on all this more than I ever would have, so I'm not comfortable to make a claim one way or the other just yet. But I'm...

    Rapture Day (Catching up of Believers) is very Near!!

    Ahem....have you seen some of Hollywood's more dodgy films? (Hello, the Isle of Dr Moreau?) Evidence is to the contrary, I believe! Regardless of the your point, which may or may not have biblical merit, point in fact, you CAN make this stuff up. :D

    Rapture Day (Catching up of Believers) is very Near!!

    Those who mislead the flock. I've always understood the references to those people as being just unsaved wolves who lure people away from Christ's Church. And sure...they're totally up for punishment. 'Cause they're not saved! As for the verse that says leaders will be more severely...

    Failed Prophecies

    You know why. People are different. They think differently, perceive things differently, understand things differently. Now...I most certainly think that God wrote his word to be understood A way. He had a truth in mind when he caused it to be written, and we are able to know it, else he...

    Rapture Day (Catching up of Believers) is very Near!!

    'Severely punished'? You know...I don't subscribe to the Pre-trib Rapture theory either. I think its a mistaken reading of scripture. However, every. single. person. I know who holds that view is still a born again believer who loves Jesus Christ. Their fruit is obvious in, oh...so many ways...

    Failed Prophecies

    I don't really think anyone here thinks the bibles prophecies will fail. We got a lot of doubt for peoples interpretations of them, however.

    I suppose we'll see...won't we.

    Understanding Parable and Allegory in God's Word

    Well...personally...I tend to think that is all getting a little bit 'knit-picky'. Can't exactly bring the passage to mind at the moment, but Paul uses a phrase where he basically says, "I'm dumbing down my language because I'm talking to you, and you have no hope of understanding if I don't"...

    Understanding Parable and Allegory in God's Word

    Well...for what its worth, I don't consider our conversation a sword battle! I actually think this time we managed to keep it pretty well contained to back and forth of ideas! Ideas we don't really agree on...but I think we've reached a point where we can agree to disagree, yes?! Hmm. Well, I...

    Understanding Parable and Allegory in God's Word

    I sense we are drawing to a close on our conversation. Clearly I am not going to convince you of a thing; and sorry, you are not going to change my mind either. Not that winning a conversation is the be all and end all of anything, I suppose. But, before I go, I want to mention: no, I'm not RCC...

    Failed Prophecies

    I'm sorry, but...I just don't see any facts. I see straws being grasped wildly. But hey...whatever floats your boat, I suppose.

    Failed Prophecies

    Wow, way to start a conversation dude, calling a person stupid forever. Nice! And Psalm 48 says nothing about a timeline! Goodness me, the straws people will grasp! 1 Thess 5:2 implies not that the people of God have 'special knowledge' that will allow them to know when Jesus is coming, it just...

    Understanding Parable and Allegory in God's Word

    Not sure what you mean by the first lot, so am skipping it, sorry. You think we are already supposed to know when Christ will return? I thought you thought he wasn't returning at all...or is that where you are going with this? Let's not go there! From my perspective, looking at the craziness of...

    Understanding Parable and Allegory in God's Word

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only...

    Understanding Parable and Allegory in God's Word

    Okay, we can agree on that description. However, I must confess to being a little confused to how you then view everything. If God exists, he does not do so just because we chose to believe in him, or not believe in him. You must agree, surely, that if he exists, he does so 'independently from...

    Failed Prophecies

    Yes, and I shake my head at them. I cannot quite see how they can wiggle around these verses, personally. I think some do it just because they are so keen for his return...which makes it a little better, but still not right. Others, however, seem to do it just for a buck and for followers...
