Um, yes, what does this have to do with the topic? We aren't talking about Christian persecution here.

To die well while on a torture device would no doubt be a rare thing to witness. Perhaps this thief was amazed at Jesus' demeanor during the hours of suffering and realized this was no ordinary criminal.

They are with God in paradise.

I'm in total agreement that Jesus is coming back. I just have problems with people predicting that it's going to be in such and such a year or even a certain 10 year period. What doe 2 Peter go on to say? But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand...

Bad Comparison I'd say. Our pandemic is killing what? 1 percent? Less when you figure all the people who have it with no symptoms. Black death killed 30 to 60% of the population of Europe... 50 million people.. hard to even imagine. The justonian plague around 541 A.D., was claiming up to...

See, this is what I'm speaking of. So many seem to think we are in the most evil days ever. It just isn't so. Study the middle ages a bit or the persecution of the early church. In comparison, the gospel is spreading today, people are not more evil than ever before. There's much good news. It's...

Escapest theology doesn't help, though. We are to be light in the current age, not looking to escape. A lot is starting to make sense to me about partial preterism. "Eusebius wrote about these dreadful events. He wrote around AD325, amazingly close to those events, and with the extensive...

How do you know? We have been in the last times since Jesus left, yes, but it could be next year or a thousand years.

I'm not judging, I'm making an observation. The last generation of Christians often thought this is it, it's the end every time a new leader came to power. Kissinger was going to be Antichrist. Gorbechev was gonna be Antichrist. And so on. Communism was gonna take over the world during the cold...

According to some random dude on the internet. Not according to scripture.

There is something in people that makes them want to believe they are the terminal generation. It's an odd phenomenon I've observed all my life. We are fascinated with our own demise, with coming disaster, and in some cases, it seems we actually want all the " bad people" to be destroyed while...

I'm old school and don't want any piercings myself, but really I don't think it has anything to do with ones spiritual state.

I like believing what scripture plainly states. If it's not plain, I'll try the next plainest interpretation. I'm willing to say I could be wrong about it, but it's not any more wacky than the secret rapture for example.

That's probably the weakest interpretation of all of the ones out there. You sure you want to go with that one? Somehow generation suddenly becomes all future generations? Or maybe the signs and events prophesied by Jesus in verses 4-31 happened in 70 A.D. when the Romans came and destroyed...

The Greek version of his name when put into Hebrew letters has the value of 666, while the Latin version has the value of 616. There is manuscript evidence that the alternative number is “616. ”It’s possible that the second number comes from the Latin version of Nero’s name, which, when put...

That's not even an answer. When Jesus talks about going down into the house and about synagogues, in the same passage is he being non literal? These are images from his time, and the Jewish Christians time, not ours.

He was talking to people of that generation, Also, in Revelation we have clear evidence that John is writing to particular, historic, individual churches that existed in his day. Revelation 1:4 provides a common salutation: "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and...

N Not everyone in government is the enemy of God. Many are there trying to do good.

Jesus said "In this generation." That's not 2000 plus years.

What does that prove? From the pretreists: " Greek and Hebrew letters also have numerical values. Thus while it is well known that the sum total of the Greek form of Nero Caesar transliterated into Hebrew characters adds up to 666, the same total is also found in Caesar Vespasian and Caesar...
