I think rather than focusing on how comic books portray 'the city model', and therefore 'mystery babylon', it would be better served to see how the bible looks at "Babylon". In the OT Babylon is alive and well and is often a brutal city standing against God's chosen people. They are a city of...

I think we need to remember just HOW sovereign God is. The fall of mankind, Satan...everything, is not a "dang it" moment for God, and he's then spent all his time scrambling to get back on top. He's like a chess master, always ten moves ahead. Are more perishing than are saved? Yes. But this is...

I think, perhaps, you and I differ much in our view. But I can still voice my opinion on these things you suggest we do. The problem I see with "needing to flee major cities" is that the bible really doesn't say that. The verse you quote above is talking about Babylon, not "major cities". Now...

And what is it you are suggesting the other percentage should do?

I said I could't make sense of what you said about calling a certain location a "brothel" or "watershed"...yes, that it seemed nonsensical, and you questioned my intelligence over that. I'm not sure how pointing out a certain descriptor used is nonsensical to others is the same as BEING...

Wait...so you're saying that the "Master" is not Jesus? Just because the wicked servant thinks he is a 'hard' man? Let's put aside the fact that a lot of people who do not 'understand' Christ and do not love him, do in fact think this 'system' of Christianity to be unfair, hard and unjust. Let's...

Actually, I was just echoing what you had called my logic. So, if you think 'nonsensical' is a harsh thing to say to a person, perhaps you need to check that log. Does it need to mention any of those things to be speaking of those things? Well...it certainly helps your case if it does...which...

Uh, huh. Sure. If you felt I butted in where I was not welcome, sorry. But, you know, this is a forum, and people jump in all the time. I was merely attempting to point out some facts that might help some understanding/communication along. Clearly...not so much. I'm dropping it. "Usual...

This verse is Christ talking to his Disciples! The Holy Spirit will bring to rememberance in them what THEY heard Jesus speak to them, face to face. How can you 'remember' what was never spoken to you? If only there was some way to know what Jesus said. Could the Holy Spirit give you Christ's...

Not sure of your point here. Ah...no, not really. The parable of the fig tree doesn't even mention the 'everlasting kingdom'. But we have other verses that do: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” -Matthew 3:2 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of...

Trying to take the mickey? No...not at all. I'm just trying to explain WHY people may find your posts extremely confuddling! I honetly wouldn't know, that was sort of my point. If you want people to know specifics...for example, it being a king tide you were talking about, why, in heavens...

It's interesting, don't you think, that this is supposed to be "the most important sign"...but...when we look at the actual passage, it does't actually say Israel. It doesn't actually give us any infomation on whether Israel will be 'reborn', or if and when it is, that is to be the "terminal"...

I'm not sure you can accuse my lack of understanding on my ability to read what you've written. I ask you, what about this sentence makes sense: "The reference to a brothel was with respect to where I lived (of course, I should understand immediately an area of Australia being called a brothel)...

Except I'm not saying that Christ is not coming again. All I'm saying is that people who point to those particular signs in Matt 24 as "his return is now!" signs, miss the obvious: Christ himself tells us that these signs will be "but the beginning of birthpangs", rather than signs of his...

I'm telling the story? Hardly. And...I wonder if you realise your second sentence doesn't make sense...at all. As in, I see the individual words, but together they don't actually make a sensible sentence. And honestly, if you're going to use words like brothel and watershed to describe land...

It seems a little strange to me that you are using a bible verse to prove you don't need to use the bible to know God. Also...kinda using this verse out of context. I do agree that knowing scripture will not ultimately save you...I've never claimed it does. All I'm saying is that God gave us his...

How does where I live have anything to do with brothels and watersheds? If these are Aussie slang for something else, I have not heard them.

I didn't suggest you put the bible 'before' God. But if you're not being careful to be guided by his word and using it to grow in a knowledge of who he is and what it is he wants you to know, then anything you 'hear' from that voice is in danger of being corrupted. There is more than one Spirit...

I can't speak for mjrhealth...but for me...Aussie or not, it has nothing to do with having a sense of humour (or lack there of), and everythimg to do with the fact that your last several posts have been nonsensical....

I'm sorry, but this, to me, sounds a little nonsensical. As Christians, our faith is based, largely, upon the information we have in the bible. Of course the truth and reality is beyond what is on the page, but we are told about it in scripture. We do not learn about this by osmosis, but by...
