Billy Graham did indeed compromise with the Roman Catholic Church in order to get Roman Catholics to attend his crusades. Not necessarily something I agreed with, but also something I cannot condemn either. Only eternity will reveal if he made the right choices, and those who will be there...

Chris who?? Kringle??

It is rather scary that less than a couple hundred evil people can summarily nullify the wishes 63,000,000 people!!

Unfortunately, Jesus didn't have Truther around to advise Him. Was Jesus lying when He told the thief on the cross "This day will you be with me in Paradise" Jesus never said to the thief, "But only if you are baptized!" And when John declared "Anyone who believes on me shall not perish but...

That's okay, since Jesus was actually born at Easter, i.e. Passover. Scholars tend to agree that Jesus was born one to two weeks of Nissan, the month of new beginnings. Like . . when else would God introduce "The Lamb of God" to this world?

So these people John saw were sleep walking?? "I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" . . “These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have...

These days, about all we have left are the Gaithers, and their magnificent hymns. My family has a great affinity with Charles' brother John, who in 1750 visited our Palatine family colony while they temporarily resided in Ireland. Having accepted the message of John Wesely, went on to build the...

"We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." 2 Cor 5:8

Interesting non-Biblical theory, but who are these who John saw? Why are they not asleep? "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in...

No!! While there will be no new marriages, God has no intention of separating those whom He has joined together as one! Having watched a number of NDE (near death experiences) People often meet parents and grandparents etal together in Heaven!

Usher never chronicled the age of earth, only Adam and his descendants.

He was a rather prolific writer, and it has been almost 50 years since I read his books, so my recollection of everything he said has perhaps faded over the years, but I recall that he was right on the mark in what he said. I don't recall the texts you quote, but he was close to the Essene era...

Most of them were rather solid until 'St' Augustine came along with the philosophy of "original sin", further promoted by St. Jerome who introduced the pagan dogma of sprinkling babies with magic water (baptism?), and that if a baby died before being sprinkled, he could never enter into Heaven...

And the Early Church Fathers did not have the same guidance?

I am not at all defensive. I am merely presenting what the Bible says on a subject you broached, and the Bible covers this quite clearly. Since when did quoting Scripture become prideful arrogance?? We have to study to show ourselves approved by God: "For everyone who partakes only of milk is...

It wasn't addressing quality, so much as volume. Better translations say "Shout joyfully to God, all the earth"

They were not notable. They were just the scribes who made copies of the Bible.

Mark 16:9-20 does not exist in the two most ancient manuscripts, the Sinaitic and Vatican.

Those who have studied the ancient manuscripts agree that from Mark 16:9-20 do not exist in the two most ancient manuscripts, the Sinaitic and the Vatican. They did not appear until the second and third century, being quoted by the Early Church Fathers Ireneaus and Hippolytus. It tends to be...
