Once again, I'm not hugely political, so my understanding isn't solid. But I would say that ideally, being either ultra left or right is not a good thing...for anyone. I don't deny that many leaders could use a good swing left, but my main concern, what I was trying to verbalize, is that these...

Hi! :lol:

Hi Sassymommacat! I've been pondering this question this week too! And while I'm not cemented into any thought, here's what I reckon: The nation of Israel was promised the land if they kept God's covenant...they didn't, and got turfed from it multiple times. However, many "elect" from the...

Well, I'm new here, so may not have the background info you're referring to here....but, isn't the fact that our governments are becoming more left a concern to all Christians? I'm not a political nut, I rarely talk politics, but I am truly concerned with how it all seems to be going. It seems...

You could be right...if that was the only indicator of how we understand revelation. But it's not. But let me ask you a question. I understand you may not be a dispensationalist, but to me, those who hold a 'literal' interpretation of the book; well, their view just doesn't add up. For example...

I'm not an American, so am probably not following your election as closely as you are! But from what I've seen...yeah...Clinton is not a friend of Christians. I think she probably more dangerous than Trump...it's a little hard to take him seriously, but clearly he endorses the right to say what...

Ok, well...putting aside the whole 'personal' level, that of "Jesus IS coming back, does it really matter how or when".... I can't see how believing in a Amillenial position would cause believers, new or otherwise, to disappointed or discouraged when trials and tribulations hit. A decent amount...

Hi Angel! I struggle with sugar addiction. I think the struggle will go on while I'm breathing...it's hard. But I think the only wrong thing to do is to give up and give in to these things. I'm not sure if you are a Christian or not, but I think the closer we come to God, the less the things of...

:blink: This is the most conjecture riddled thread I've seen in a long time. It's kinda fun...sort of...

I think it's a question of grace and glory. Think about our own lives for a second. When God disciplines us, brings us through hardships and trials, he does so to bring us closer to him. The more we trust in him, look to him, worship him, the more joy we get, and the more glory is given to him...

Illogical...yes. I too find myself constantly amazed (as in, puzzled and frustrated) with how they just can't seem to see what's right in front of them. They scream 'tolerance', but are the least tolerant people out there! Eveything goes...except what Christians believe. I have often thought...

Hi Retrobyter, it was not supposed to sound 'high and noble'. I tend to find long, quote-y posts hard to wade through, and so my original post was attempting not to go into huge detail...I'm sorry if my brevity made me sound snooty. I'm not saying that Israel (the nation) is not important; to...

Wow! Thank you for such an amazing, Christian welcome! I love it when someone enters into humble dialogue with me, keen to discuss in a Christ-like fashion our differences and similarities. Bless you.

Hi Trekson. You may very well be right...but you also could be wrong. I could be reading no gap into the passage, but you could be reading one in. I'm truly not sure that it matters who is right or wrong in this situation. I think that the opportunity that comes from discussing our differences...

Hi guys! Interesting conversation! I'm an Amil, personally. And as Wormwood has posted, there are many reasons for believing that this is the correct end times perspective. But rather than go over all that again, I think the main two reasons that I became an Amil-er are: The way Amil's interpret...
