"Evidently you failed.."...I love how you make that sound like a personal failing on my part. Yes...clearly I missed your take on this, but I'll happily go through it now. I don't disagree that there's correlation between the Olivet Discourse and the seals in Revelation 6...although I'm not sure...

I feel I need to say a few things in regards to this: the first being that I do, in point of fact, see Israel as remarkable. It is a miracle that she has come back to her land and become such a powerful, thriving nation in such a short time. I believe God is, indeed, preparing to bring large...

Tell me this: how are false Christs (v5), wars and rumours of wars (v7), famines and earthquakes (v8), tribulation and death in the name of Christ (v9), false prophets (v11) and increasing lawlessness (v12) in any way differ from what has been happening in the Disciples times to now?

I am not an expert on American politics or policies, and I certainly don't love Trump (personality wise). But I have to say that the man has been a decent President. He has delivered on more campaign promises than any other President/politican than I can put a finger on. He's done wonders for...

Wow. Well...honestly, I'd say at this point not much reasoning or rational arguments are going to get through to him. I would say it's "impressive" that he holds onto scripture over and beyond everything else, except he's clearly not seeing scripture and what it's teaching clearly...so, you...

One wonders what they think about this: Or do they suppose every image captured of the solar system is part of the grand conspiracy against them? In which case, I would suggest if they're in that deep, there's probably no reasoning with them.

I don't think we're looking at any 'single' city, really. Or even maybe a time, although I'm less certain about that. Babylon was the quintessential 'city of man', representing a society and people who rejected God and strove after their own desires and needs. At the same time, in the OT...

Hang on....I'm sorry...perhaps I'm not understanding it properly, but..."predicting accurately" is NOT how I would describe this. Having the the seals be things like "a breached wall" or "falling bricks"....and then going "Oh goodness....9/11 involved BOTH those things!!!!" is NOT prophetic...

This is interesting...because...is it? In our nations it certainly is. But in Africa, the Middle East and even in places like China where it is becoming (again) increasingly hard to be a Christian, the faith is exploding! It seems to me that if we look back at the history of Christianity, it...

I suppose I'd have two things to say about this: firstly...the courts and schools that Christians are attempting to have 'God in', did not start out secular. The laws and values we have as nations, are founded upon the Christian faith. It was the Christians, in large part, that pushed for...

This is a good question...and one for our time, I think. People often scream tolerance, but tolerate only what they approve. And, yes, I suppose I'm thinking about liberals here. They make such a big deal about 'tolerating everything'...being 'all inclusive'...but, apparently there is a large...

I suppose that's why scripture tells us that teachers will be judged more harshly than others. There is that...ah...power? there, in that position. People do look to them for guidance, and that, in itself, lends itself I suppose to play merry havoc with even 'decent' men's ego's. Goodness knows...

As they say...bigger fish to fry! If getting a tattoo is the worst thing she ends up doing, then I shall be a relieved mother! Truth be to tell...the only thing I truly care about, on the "big scale", is her salvation. I might not choose her fashion choices for myself, but I couldn't care less...

Well...this is absolutely true, of course. But I think Aspen's point is that it can be as true as can be, but if we don't live by that truth and show that truth, it may as well be not be. There is a fine line we must walk where truth and love (real, biblical love, like that of Christ) meet, and...

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying if she gets a tattoo, I might not comment? Or if she gets into a biker gang? Or the military? I wouldn't care if she got a tattoo. But i'd question her "life choices" if she joined a biker gang!! And...to be honest...sometimes i think about shipping her off...

Yeah...you'd think it would be a no-brainer, huh? The Pope, surely, would remember such a passage! And such an opportunity to preach to all the Muslim people! 'Course...he probably wouldn't have been asked back...but that's not the point. Paul would have taken the chance and run with it!!

Well...I agree that the fundamentalist type is damaging...just as the extremely liberal preacher would be. But...I'm not really sure that that type is only to be found in small towns...although, not having visited all the small towns here in Australia, let alone in the US, I can't really say...

Oh yes! What a wonderful chapter! And the imagry! You were dead....a person cannot raise themselves from the dead, it is quite impossible. And that's what we were...dead. How can a dead person choose to become alive? No...God breathed life into us, because of his great love for us. :)

But don't you see? This implies that our will is stronger than that of Gods. That even though he begs and pleads and lays his will before us, we reject it and use our will to walk away, using our stronger will to trump his desire for us. Nothing in scripture tells us that this is how it is, can...

Please do prove it. Why would I 'concede' something when I have, what I feel sure to be, biblical proof...the backing of many sound biblical scholars....as opposed to only your say so? Because...that's all you've 'provided' thus far. Your say so. So, I repeat...please do 'prove' it. Ah...this...
