And even in kid's games it means "Time out!", more or less.

You used the term, "MEGA DATA." And, "Yes", I would agree with that. MEGA DATA = The compilation of the whole sum of the Bible... NOT some selected "Proof Texts" chosen from here and there. If a person tried to use the selected text of Luke 14:26 the way the KJV words it, they would be...

Yes, I invited him in a Private Mail, because we have known one another for quite some time. He did say he would check this place out.

I don't know. I'm not even positive what forum it was that I met him on. I think it was a couple of years ago.

So do I. He is really a very smart and kind person and would be an asset to any forum. I invited him to come here.

There is a poster who goes by the name of BeyondET. He was trying another forum for a few days, and the hungry dogs over there couldn't have been any more nasty to him. I was hoping he might come here.

Please join us. This forum is not perfect, but the people here are far more humane and Christ-loving than where you just were.

No, everyone doesn't. If you were only in your 20's or 30's, I could accept you possibly not knowing that just about any deception you choose can be "proven" by isolated texts found throughout the Bible. But you and I know that experience opens up the Bible, wider and wider — IF you read it —...

You base things on "Proof Texts" you have been told to follow?

All his books (though long) are very interesting. Also, along the same lines as this book is one by Kenneth L. Gentry (I believe it is) about the dating of the writing of The Revelation... Before Jerusalem Fell.

I have recently come to understand that "repentance" means two different things at two different stages of our life. One: When we are still in the world, "repentance" is a straight-forward DECISION to realize whatever we had been depending upon will not give us Salvation. We make a conscious...

Part of The Author's Preface: Author’s Preface: From the very beginning, cranks and crackpots have attempted to use Revelation to advocate some new twist on the Chicken Little Doctrine: The Sky is Falling! But, as I hope to show in this exposition, St. John’s Apocalypse teaches instead, that...

Some more intent of the book: The Book of Revelation is part of the Bible. At first glance this may not seem to be a brilliant insight, but it is a point that is both crucially important and almost universally neglected in the actual practice of exposition. For as soon as we recognize that...

I think, in general, their doctrines will simply make life a whole lot more miserable for them than God ever intended.

There aren't many short, one-liner "zingers" in the book. But here is a simple wrap-up of the intent of the book: "The charge brought by the Jewish prosecution in one first-century trial of Christians was that “they are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called...

I guess the shortest and most striking is actually in the preface to the book: PESSIMILLENNIALISM 71 A.D. — 1987 A.D. “WE PREACHED DEFEAT, AND GOT IT!”

And one bit of reading that I would ONLY suggest to people who are really interested in learning, is David Chilton's great book, The Days of Vengeance. It is probably the most comprehensive coverage of the book of Revelation that has ever been printed.

I tried to attend an SDA church, Unfortunately, they were no different than the CoC (except that they met on a different day) that I left years before due to their dead attitude about Christ.

Well, first of all, we know it was not because he wanted to. He was ordered to by the soldiers.

I find it interesting that earthquakes were reported quite often in the earlier years. They seemed to have a big one somewhere in that relatively small area of the Holy land (That WAS what was the "known world" in those days when the prophesies were written.) every year or two. Today, that...
